Swat The Vagrants
*
The recent acts of lawlessness
in the town, bring to mind more
► vividly the seripusness of the
situation produced by an army of
vagrants which infest the town
and community. There is no
doubt in the cfpinior. of any think
ing citizen that One way to solve
the problem is to rigidly enforce
the law on vagrancy. The num
ber of men and boys who sit and
walk about the streets is a blot on
the town If one was asked to
take a job, however small it
v might be. there would be a re
fusal in a majority of cases. If
a job is accepted, it is oftentimes
partially accomplished, but the
amount of wages demanded is
staggering. A hand-to-mouth
living is secured by preying/on
those who work and try to 7 live
comfortably, and the vagrant
swaggers around the streets and
the public at-large feeds him.
A little of the Western spirit is
needed in this and other towns,
a spirit that makes every man
and boy bear his part of the bur
den in the life of the community,
or move on. The idle commit
the highway robberies, steal the
chickens, wood and wait outside
for the baskets which are carried
from the kitchens. No man.
woman or boy need say that he
or she cannot secure plenty of
work—it is right here and the
wages are worthy of the duty ac
compolished. Swat the vagrants
and rid the town of a pest.
