Show The street cornor loafer! Every where and all the time he is condemned. And why? Simpjyjbcausefcuu something derogatory or Sn condemnation oC someone or something. Instead of occupying his time in trying to benefit himself or someone else, he is wasting his own time that he should be using to .advantage, and at the same time is fomenting unre'st and discontent among others. The mere fact that a man may lounge' on the street occasionally should not, however, condemn con-demn him in the minds of those who never find time to be upon the streets only on business. A man could spend considerable time profitably on the streets if he would use his time in correcting correct-ing some of the gossip that he hears among those who try to see how much time they can spend on the street and how little elsewhere. In fact, a few such men, or a number of such men on the streets occasionally, would no doubt.be a good thing for this city and every other town. |
