Despite the efforts of Jack London, Jim Tully
or others to glorify the American hobo he will
remain to most of us just a hobo—a social outcast
With few, if any, redeeming qualities. Between the
coveys of a book a tramp may become a romantic
wanderer, but in actual life sine tenths of them are
the drags of the human family—dishonest, lazy,
dradeep, lustful and depraved in every way.
The other tenth may resemble in some degree
the hobo Tully pictures—a London, Tully or Jack
Dempsey, but it is probably that it is composed of
adventuresome youths, who like these famous ex
amples, eventually drift out of the hobo ranks.
A large part of the petty crimes of which we
hem* arc committed by tramps and not a small part
of major crimes may be traced to them—particu
larly those against women and children.
Undoubtedly there are a great many boys and
youths who take a whirl at beating their way across
country at some time or other but they are in no
flense tramps or hoboes and would find association
with such as distasteful as it would be to the rest
of us.
No, there is nothing romantic about tlie hol>o
