Forty years ago there were no tramps in America. The first tramps came after the panic, and they were literally tramps or trampers, walking from place to place, seeking work. But many learned something by their en- forced idleness. They found that it was possible to live without work, or without much work, and to travel over and see the country without any expense. They became dead beatsâ€"capitalist in method to a very limited degree, in that they live off of others without working themselves; but a. million of them are not as severe a drain on the resources of the worker as one Rocke- feller or Carnegie or Morgan or Ryan, Many of the hoboes are good mechan- ics, and not all of them [are booze fighters. These have economy down to a. fine point. In the summer they wander over the country, living lives of ease, going hungry part of the time, and begging hand-outs other times, catching and roasting fish, helping themselves to fruit, and living simply and easily. In the winter they seek the cities, where they can obtain a bedrfor a dime and a meal for the same; and so they live on thirty or forty cents a day. Sometimes they work for a few weeks, and in that time make enough to keep them all the year. This is the professional hobo. He is not the burn and beggar of other days, with his cabalistic signs decorating depots and gate posts, but a. man who has learned to beat the system at its own game by crawling under its feet. To be sure, his ranks are always being augmented by boys eager for adventure, and una- ble to gratify the wander-lust under the present system, and by workmen thrown out of employment by the lords of the machine. On the other hand, the railroads are killing the hoboes at the rate of ten thousand a year, and society is warring on its} own product by run- ning them from towns, jailing them, making peons of them, and generally denouncing those minor vermin, while y believes in it; \ feasting the big fellows who cost it so' The hobo is a. strange’ much more. product of the system. Some day, when the heathenish ways of society are ended, he will disappear, and then he will be studied as a strange type, aw victim whose tragedy will then be- written, and whose resources and sufâ€"' ferings will be themes of romance and:- poetry.â€"â€"-Appeal to Reason. ‘0 Are You Reasonable ?‘ You learned the multiplication tar" ble by keeping your mind on it, didn’t you? Did you ever learn anything: any other way? Time is an essential means in getting knowledge of any-' thing, because the mind must have time to absorb or get at the thing. That is the reason that you learn a.- trade or business only by experience ,1 by the time you expend trying to master it. The less intense or exclu-- sive thought given to it, the longer it' takes to learn. Yet I hear many condemn Social:- ism who never gave it a. moment of: earnest thought, trying to comprehend 'what they condemn. Some men honâ€"‘ estly believe that they know what So~ cialism is, because they have read that it means dividing up property, that it! kills incentive to progress, takes from the industrious and gives to the lazy,. destroys the home, and many Other ' things. Yet they have never read a book explaining what it is by one who has given it- studyâ€"by one who‘ It matters not how many'books they read againSt it, if they will but read something that gives the other side of the question. You believe things about Socialism. taught you by the capitalist papers, politicians and preachers, that are just- as far from the truth as anything con- cerning which you have been informed by its enemies. Even in this country you know that the toriesâ€"supporters- of King Georgeâ€"denounced the revor lutionary fathers as being murderers, anarchists and incendiarics. they? The hundreds of voters in this country who- voted the Socialist ticket this fall did not, at one :time, believe in, Socialism, and had a very poor opinion of it, if they had any opinion-of it at? But were of thousands. all, until they investigated and gave- their minds the opportunity to under-- stand what it really is. Then they .clianged thl‘éir minds about it. . And you will do the same, if you'. are not too cowardly to permit the witnesses for the other side of the case: to appear before your court of reason. If you work at anything useful for a, living, it is to your interest to have Socialism prevail ; and you will be con-- Vinced of that if you will study and- learn what Socialism would do, and. how it proposes to do it. Are you reasonable, or lacking the ability to reason lâ€"Ibid. +0 Charity. Upton Sinclair, in an address be- fore a. body of Chicago Sodialists, said of charity : "‘ The average charity, the charity Of the rich, seems rather futile to me. The rich oppress the poor enormously ; then they help them slightly. It is like the young lady angler. ' “Why,” said a. man to this young lady, “ do you always carry a bottle of liniment with you on your fishing excursions l” She sighed. “ I am so sorry,” she said plaintive- ly, “for the poor little fish. And so, when I take one of them off the hook, I always rub its out mouth with some liniment.” A strong, conservative yet thoroughly progressive bank for progressive Farmers.
