A state farm for tramps is proposed by Joseph C. Baldwin, Jr., of the New York state board of charities, and he intends to place the matter before the legislature. His plan is to have tramps detained for a long period and made to work, rendering the institution self supporting. Baldwin believes tramps will eventually leave the state rather than work. The basic idea is sound, whatever is to be said for the state farm detail of the plan, says the Boston Advertiser. The only way to meet the tramp evil is by making the tramp work even if he is detained but twelve hours. It is a problem in Massachusetts quite as much as in New York.
