" Iff? BEGGARS
Oini>?ign Against Vagrants
Morals from Germanv.
j
London. <>ctob?sr 2$
London has urgently needed a practl?
reformer for clearing the streets of rx
gara and vagrants. Apparently it 1
found one in the oldtime bearer of t
red flag -n Trafalgar Square and t
present efficient head of the Local C,c
ernment Board. Mr. John Hums ia r
taking an active part In the debatea
insurance against sickness, disability a
unemployment. but h?? is adopting pfl
tical measures for hunting down Ia
rogues and worthless vagabonds a
forcing them to work for a living 1
stead at Imposing upon the generosi
of thoughtless paasershy. He has d
cided that the English treatment of tl
(lass "t voluntary and calculating pa
rvers is too Indulgent, and that indi
criminate charity is increasing and p<
petuatlng the evil? of beggary and v
grancy. He has begun with a centi
reglstn St? beggars, "casuals." ai
homeless wanderers, and has enlisted t
pfrvlces of Poor Law inspectors, the St
?ration Army and charitable agen. I?M
?eparatlng unfortunates in need of fo<
?nd shelter from habitual offenders, w]
ought to be disciplined with derm?
rigor. He will probably end by formii
a metropolitan Poor Law Board and a
ministering the casual wards of tl
workhouse-s Ota common lines. In. reas?
police powers for dealing with the horn
less and full authority fcr the enrnpu
aory detention of vagrants are re<_uisit
Berlin offers a remarkable contrast
London in being entirely free from bei
gars and vagrants. The law again
th?m is explicit and It is enforced sy
tematlcally. Anyone losing a lodgir
and neglecting to obtain another oi
within a specified time is exposed to a
rest and imprisonment, and beggars a
quickly consigned to labor colonies <
workhouses and forced to work. Ti
German workhouse, inatead of being
comfortable refuge for dependent pa?
pers. is a place of punishment for crin
inal offences. Vagrants know what I
expect if they are caught begging in tl
itreets or sleeping out of doors, and thi
seldom refu?3* work when it is offered I
them The circumstances are diff?rer
in London, where thousands of outcas
are mumbling for bread or a night
lodging, roaming in crowded streets an
?Jeering In public squares or along tl
embankment in abject misery and de|
radatlon. There is an English statul
providing for the arrest and commi
ment of persona "wandering abroad an
lodging In any barn or outhouse, or i
any deserted or unoccupied building, r
in the open air or under a tent, or i
any <*art or wagon," and not having an
risible means of support, not being abl
to give a good account of themselvei
There is law enough already for prevent
lng the appalling exhibitions of degra
dation and misery to be witnessed dail
and nightly in the English metropolis
but neither police nor magistrates, no
Poor Law gruardians consider themselve
J'jstlfled In enforcing It.
The German system would be heart
Jess if there were not systematic ar
rangements for dealing with unfortu
nates auddenly deprived of work, lodg
lng and food Either the municipalit?
or charitable associations provide shel
fera or refuges for the homeless and des
tltute. In Berlin poverty stricken fam
liles who have lost their homes and an
wlthcrut money are enabled to lodge to?
gether In decent apartments and are fee
by the Poor Law authorities for a re
strlrted period. There are separat?
night shelters for men and women, witl
soup and bread when they come and go
and there are refuges where free lodg
ings and meals can be supplied te, un
fortunate workers and their children foi
several weeks. All these comforts ar?
withdrawn as soon as the privileges an
abused. When the lodgers refuse worl
or decline to take advantage of the labo
registries or shamelessly resort to beg
ging, they are committed to prison o
workhouse as criminal offenders. Then
Is no lack of c harlty in Berlin, where ai
many as eight hundred thousand un
fortunatea are taken from the street;
and housed and fed at public and prl
vate shelters in the course of a year
The truth is recognized that the mos
carefully devised laws cannot provid?
against exceptional caaea of distres?,
among self-respecting working people
and there are relief agencies fof assist?
ing them and obtaining employment foi
them. At the same time the obligation
to work is everywhere enforced. Th*
German system neither manufactures
paupera nor multiplies beggars.
What Mr. Burns and practical reform?
ers In London hope t<> ac ompllsh by
united effort is the application of Ger?
man principles to British conditions. By
? titrating the poor law administra?
tion and linking together the voluntary
benevolent agencies they expect to pro?
vide food and shelter for the homeless
poor and to take them out of the streets.
When that las been done there will be
no excuse f??r begging, and ragged va?
grants mumbling for pennies and six?
pences will he known as cheats and im?
postors. While the deserving poor will
receive shelter and assistance and be put
in the way of finding employment, the
irreclaimable tramps will be sent to
casual wards or to workhouses and prop?
erly disciplined. Loafers, beggars and
Incorrigible vagrants will be exposed to
bne*t and conviction, as in Germanv,
?nd there will he general re.-ognitlon of
tht wholesome truth that men and
*omen are under obllgatu.n to work for
* living and that they degrade them
**lv*a when they are idle and dependent
and beeosue mendicants in the streets.

I'GIRL OF THE GOLDEN WEST'
; Puccini's Opera Presented with
Some Slight Changes.
"The Girl of the ??olden West," Buccin:'*
' opera founded on David Bi-laaco's play, was
j chosen by the Metropolitan Opera House
management for the first Thursday night
of the season, an?! last night n.ivv It pre?
sentad as scheduled. There was a large
r.udlence present, nearly If not quite equal
In size to that of the < penlng night. And
why shouldn't there have been? F?r En
rico Caruso, of the golden voice, that on
Monday night had been pronounced as good
as ever, was singing Dick Johnson, and
I Miss Fmmy Destiim was MlnnK and Pas
Jquale Amato, the Sheriff, and Dlnh Gilly,
Ash by.
Slgnor Puccini surely oweB a debt to these
artists, for without them and without 8!g
nor Toscaninl. the acceptance of his work
! might have told a different story.
There was in the performance one great
, improvement over last season?It was
| shorter. And the aborigines had be*n ruth
, lfssly slaughtered. Where were Billy Jack
j Rabbit and Wowkle. hla squaw? They had
j vanished from the opening act, themes and
| all. And, alas! no one grieved.
But Mr. Caruso was in excellent voice.
and so was Miss D?-stinn. Mr Amato
strode about, a true Belasco villain, and
Mr. Gilly added a touch that might have
j come from a page of Bret Harte himself
I Yet, after all Is said and done, the great
| Interest of the opera lies In Its story and
j In Its staging. When Slgnor Puccini turned
to the West he somehow forgot his gift for
melody, and all the skill of Mr. Toscanlnl's
leadership could not replace Its absen- e
What could be don? last night all who took
part did, but melody "The Girl of the
Golden West'' does not possess, and ?further
hearings only deepen this Impression.

to the rule.
There were twenty numbers In all. by
j as many coiitposers, and most of th'-m
wvre selections brought from off the beaten
. track. There was an old French shannon
j de trouv?re and Dr. ktUO't "Plagas Sf
' Live" and Purci-ll's "The Dog Star," and
Bafk the singer gave with mont ailtnlrable
un<l?-rstaii?llrig of their spirit. Delightful,
, too, was Franz's "Es Hat db- Rose," vvhl?h
brought forth a well esrne?l r?-p.-tit!on. In
short, never before had Mr. Rogers's art j
proved truer or more sane.
His Is not a great voice, though It Is a j
good one, but he understands the art of I
; song; he has feeling, and above all, he is ',
? the possessor of a fastidious taste. And
i taste Is something that is perhaps more
! rare In the concert world to-day than some
| would have us believe. Mr. Rog.-rs's art
I leads us far away from the blare of the
i trumpet and the boom of the bass ?lrum,
but that there are those who still can
enjoy a fine, dellcat-ly shad >-l art was
evidenced by the size and Interest of yes?
terday's audience.
