Tramps, no doubt, feel the same way! about it. Humanitarianism being founded on the desire to decrease human suffering, it is difficult to see the true nani tarianism in this well-meant attempt to stop vagrancy and train “flipping” by filling the jails with the hoboes. Once a well-meaning and earnest worker, with no great amount of sense, was set to work to pump out the centerboard He pumped and pumped and pumped, but level.

If all the tramps became all at once work crazy, they would only shove others into idleness as fast as they got jobs. McCrea would pump dry the ocean of disemployment by either pouring it back into itself, or bottling it up in jails. Neither plan will work Beggary is an institution in all nations in which tunities to work are fenced up and monopolized. We may well make up our minds to our tramps as a permanent class, | like the Italian lazzaroni and the British paupers—or we must| free opportunities for self-employment. When land was free in America there were no tramps.

All over the nation lands are held out of use for specula- tive purposes—agricultural lands, mining lands, city lands. If} they were so heavily taxed that they would have to be used or given up to those who would use them, we should have a re- newed era of building and a revival of industry, Gradually the tramp evil would be cured. The tramp's stock in trade is the probability that he really cannot get work. Fix things so that all can get work if they desire, and then McCrea’s proposal will not be such a shock to one’s sense of justice, The tramp is a man out of work, He has in many cases assumed idleness as a} adopts that profession helps ease the competition on those who still struggle.
