"Whereas, it takes all kinds of people to make a world and the highways and byways of America are loaded down with hoboes, tramps, and bums, and Whereas, there is a vast difference between hobo, tramp, and bum, for a hobo will work, a tramp won't, and a bum couldn't even if he wanted to, and Whereas, society in general classes all men on the road as bums and tramps. Therefore, for our own protection we, the better element of life's highways, known as hoboes, have banded together to secure our rights and the respect and justice to which we are rightly entitled."
