TRAMPS AND BEGGARS
An Amcricnn imthoress once-ironically.- described tramps
as "our leisured class." The world has never known such
prosperity as that of the United States in recent years, yet
no one can now have the experience of, the man who traveled
a thousand miles through the American Colonies without
meeting a vagrant. . , , - - . . -
Hut the American tramp is seldom a professional .like his
idle brethern in England and on the Continent. Often he
graduates from the exposure and hazards of the road to the
ranks of honest toil. Hardly ever is he down and out.
, 'America has never been troubled with beggars' and vaga
bonds to the extent that Asia and Europe have been since
the beginning of recorded times. Elizabethan laws grouped
them as' vagabonds, strolling plnyers, soothsayers, wander
ing scholars, masterless men, gypsies, quacks, l'endei's and
.bear leaders. A sixteenth century historian listed twenty- j OPPOSITION
five organized orders of knaves or mendicants in England
With a, membership of 10,000. ' ..
Asia, Europe and Northern Africa are overrun with bog-'
ging kirs who would noQte tolerated in the Ujutfttl, States.
For Americans two flies in the ointment of foreign travels
are the tip-grabbers and alnfs-seekers.
The United States has kept itself relatively free of vag
rants and beggars by rigidly enforcing vagrancy " laws';
providing institutional homes f,or the aged and the sick and
spreading the doctrine that it is dishonorable to scorn to!
work and live by the giving of others. American wealth
lias proved an incentive to live by one's wits and by crime,
but it cannot be charged with inspiring idleness and penury.

CAUTIONS FOR MOTORIST
The subject of caution in autonijobile driving has been re
peated many times. Yet pedestrians who have narrow
escapes, and the careful drivers who are almost smashed
up as the result of some' speeder's "scorching," will not want
tho newspapers to stop talking about this thing. Thoy will
want the subject dinned into the ears of the public indefinite
ly.' ' ' ' :
There are some drivers who are impervious to criticism.
About the only way to deal with them is to file a complaint !
i against them, lake away their license or otherwise penalize
them. : : .' 1 i
The majority of drivers, however, should be accessible to
reason, and should realize that the highways are becoming
more crowded every year, and that the degree of caution
that was fairly adequate a few years ago, is no longer
enough.
Many operators have constantly been doing things which !
would create an accident if they did not have good luck. If !
they attempt to pass a car on a curve where their view is !
hidden, they are likely to have a smash if a car is coming
nround in the opposite direction at that particular moment.
They may do it a number of times and avoid a smash. Rut
if the number of cars has doubled in their locality within
the past few years, as it has in most sections, the chance of j
a collision when thoy perform that stunt has precisely doubled
within that time. II' they keep doing that thing, it is prac
tically certain that they will have a smash-up in the near
future.
It is a most distressing experience to go through an auto
mobile accident. Those who have injured other people bitter
ly regret their carelessness if they have been at fault. It
is infinitely better to show a pleasant spirit of courtesy,
take things easy on the roads, and avoid the regret and loss
that must come from a serious accident.
