WORD FOR WANDERER
"VAGABoND" NOT ALTOGETHER
TO BE CONDEMNED.
Economic Problem for the Student,
but Also MysteriousIy Appealing
May Boast That He Calls
No Man Master.

We are apt to use the words yaga
bond and vagrant INTERCHANGEABLE,
though there is a degree of difference
in their meaning, says the Detroit
Free Press. The vagabond is a wan
derer. an irresponsible person without
visible means of support. preferring
the open road to an occupation be
cause of an unconventional dislike to
the embarrassment of possessions
The vagrant is also a wanderer. but
the element of viciousness enters;
given opportunity he may commit
crime. We usually lump the two to-
gether as tramps, hobos, Weary VIII
lies, and are told there are about half
a million of them in our country
Economists complain that their main
tenance costs about SiOO.OO0,OOO an
nually.only 5000 apiecel-and that If
they could be made wage earners they
might enrich the community by about
s3OO,OO0,OOO
The wanderer, now the vagabond
in our nomenclature. was once quite
a respectable fellow. even an honored
guest. The troubadours the travelling
friars of medieval days. the ancient
harpists who brought their songs and
stories to castle and hall, Richard
Plantagenet, the poet Villon, George
Borrow, were tramps of one kind or
another. History and romance abound
in them. and we love to read OF them
because of our innate fellow feeling
and sympathy.
The vagabond wanders from Some
where to Nowhere for love OF the jour
ney. His real reason is that he cannot
help It, having more wanderlust in his
blood than has fallen to the share OF
the majority. After all, he merely
gratifies to an unusual extent primal
instinct which centuries of conven-
lions have not subdued in humanity
He casts on the limitations of civiliza
ton because they cost him more than
he is willing to pay. He will pay
meagerly and sleep uncomfortably
that he may be free. No one owns
him; he calls no man master; he is
sublimely Indifferent to responsibility.
And who among US has not felt a pas
sionate desire at times TO snap the
chains that bind and chafe, and live
our lives as we WISH In spite OF
our respect for the exemplary virtues
we recognize the charm OF irrespon-
sibility.
We like the vagabond in fiction
even If we scorn him at our back
doors, and regard him gravely as an
economic problem. The tramp is more
honest than most of US; he despises
work and scorns the tasks we would
impose on him. Most of US pretend
to like It and sing its praises He is
moreover, a mysteriously appealing
figure; there is something almost
heroic in his contempt OF what other
men so prize, and we wonder, II We
pause to think of him at all. what is
his story. what woman remembers him
and longs for news of him. There
is always at least one-his mother.

Ramona" picture-apotheosis of
Helen Hunt Jackson's romance of early
California and the Mission Indians, was
presented at the Belasco last night.
The plot-founded on the authors in
vestigation, by government appoint
ment, of tribal conditions before and
after the coming of white settlers-de-
picts the love and happiness of the
Mission Indians under Spanish and
Mexican rule until white men destroyed
their villages and seized their lands"
While the love tragedy of Ramona,
half breed and AllesSandro, son of an
Indian chief. is visioned with a realism
of scenic picturesqueness beyond the
limitations of literature, the romance
itself closely follows the story, and is
pictured by an excellent cast. Mabel
Van Buren, as the fickle sweetheart of
the prologue; AIDA Gleason, as Ra-
mona wife of Allessandro, and Lurline
mother of Felipe, were genuinely nat
ural in their portrayals of the joys and
sorrows apportioned to them by Mrs.
Jackson. and a splendid bareback to
California's childhood days was con-
veyed by the padres, Spanish dons,
Mexicans, Indians and white men
against the background of the coun-
try's primitive life.
Individual scenes, sheep shearing and
the pastimes that followed, the passing
of ships at sea and the thousands of
Indians in attendance at the mission
services, and later at the wedding of
"Mexico's greatest general. added in
