The vagrants<lb />of the union know this so well that un-<lb />less the blessing of our climate be off-<lb />set with severe artificial disadvantages<lb />the state. will become each year the win-<lb />ter resort of the greater multitude of<lb />traveling loafers. We are already<lb />cursed with more of these pests than<lb />the law officers of the interior seem<lb />able to handle.. TrampsT camps have<lb />become a winter institution in south-<lb />ern California. These colonies of lazy<lb />and worthless bummers are outfitted<lb />with tents. They beg and steal from<lb />the surrounding inhabitants, who are<lb />afraid of them, for arson, robbery and<lb />murder are vengeful possibilities when<lb />a tramp colony is refused what it asks,<lb />So determined are the unpleasant<lb />strangers tolive without work that they<lb />adopt. a military organization and are<lb />ready to give battle to the rural po-<lb /><lb />the officers who descended upon one of<lb />the camps were routed, horse, foot and |<lb />dragoon, after a brisk engagement. In<lb />earlier days, wheh mining and not ag-<lb />riculture engaged the people, Cali-<lb />fornia would have disposed of such<lb />militant bummers with rope and pistol.<lb />But farmers are of a peaceable spirit,<lb />and their occupation isolates them,<lb />Ilow comfortable the trampTs life is<lb />made for him here, how easily he man-<lb />ages to exist without toil, was interest-<lb />ingly revealed by the recently printed<lb />narrative of a young man who, as a<lb />ohobo,� made the trip from San Diego<lb />toSan Francisco. His experience shows<lb />that money is not necessary in Cali-<lb />fornia toa man who makes up his mind<lb />to be a tourist. There is still an un-<lb />limited supply of tender-hearted peo-<lb />ple who would rather take the chance<lb />of encouraging vagrancy than run the<lb />risk of withholding help from worthy<lb />men seeking work"a character, al-<lb />ways assumed by the tramp, of course.<lb />This amateur and a companion loitered<lb />on their journey for over a month and<lb />never went hungry.. They were taken<lb />for the genuine article by the real<lb />tramps they met, and also by the po-<lb />liece of the towns and villages, thus:<lb />gaining a perfect insight, into the life.<lb />In Delmar, for example, they were<lb />told that if they could induce the con-<lb />stable to arrest'them they could get a<lb />ofloater""that is to say, be housed<lb />over night in the jail and floated on-<lb />ward in the morning, stayed by a good<lb />breakfast. oI am told,� relates the<lb />young man, othat.in.some of these<lb />places the tramps are sentenced to ten<lb />days, but the constable lets him off,T<lb />gives his a couple of dollars as an in-<lb />centive to leave, and.charges the coun-<lb />ty one dolar a day: for the ten days.�<lb />Ry stealing rides and begging at<lb />houses the pair made pleasant prog-<lb />ress. Not only subsistence, but social<lb />attention, it seems, are the agreeable<lb />portion of the moneyless tourist in<lb />southern California. As witness:<lb /><lb />My chum did some.chores round a<lb />house and the lady took us both in.<lb />We got a wash, a good meal, a bed and<lb />spent the evening playing the piano<lb />and cards. Next morning the lady put<lb />up a big luneh for us, and jumped the<lb />blind baggage car when the train came<lb />along.�<lb /><lb />Sleeping in barns and haystacks by<lb />night, begging for food during the day,<lb />walking for pleasure, and taking the<lb />cars for speed, the adventure proceeded<lb />joyously. ° Professional tramps were<lb />encountered in Jarge niuibers. At<lb />Goshen there was an encainpment with<lb />a captain in command and a negro<lb />| servant to do the cooking. The com-<lb />pany. slept in tents, and regular details<lb />were sent gut to forage, . The com-<lb /><lb />and had for.its motto the sybaritic sen-<lb />timent: oFools and Mules Work.�<lb />The-amateurs found that they gen-<lb /><lb />for it, but, like the regulars, they were<lb />under no necessity to labor. Gharity<lb />abounded, and they phrsued their way<lb />without hardship. Since noviees could<lb />do so well, the lot of a skilled loafer<lb />must be pleasant, indeed. It is not<lb />wonderful that. the tramp looks down<lb />with. contempt ~on the workingman<lb />who drudges for a livelihood that is to<lb />be had without exertion.<lb /><lb />-We have no snow here, practically<lb />uo winter, and the tramp comes to us<lb />in the assurance that there is a picnic<lb /><lb /><lb /><lb />bed a fiers of the law<lb />SEED te aoe.<lb />next, HH ~will oeven offer them a ae<lb /><lb />ward to 8, is natural enough under<lb />present ~conditions, which ~are dis-<lb />graceful to a civilized state.T ~So long<lb />as we have this want of concert, this<lb /><lb />van<lb /><lb />ino the evil should not be<lb /><lb />o| penalty of the law against vagrancy<lb />-and compelled to work on the roads<lb /><lb />oArgonaut.<lb /><lb />_ mond, living in Calhoun county, Mich.,<lb /><lb />oAt Carlsbad we were in great luck. |<lb /><lb />awaiting him.
