Train robbing has become SO much OF
q business that the last number of the
North American Review contains an ar
ticle on the subject from the pen OF
William Pinkerton. and the recent occur
renee of this kind on the Illinois Central
in Kentucky a few days since leads to
the conclusion that the business has
come to stay unless radical measures are
undertaken to put a stop to it. During
the extra session a bill was laid before
congress which would put this under the
jurisdiction Of the United States, but 1t
was vehemently opposed, and nttingly
enough, by some gentlemen who repre-
sent states in which the business has
1ourished most. Thoy opposed it on the
ground that the corporations wanted. to
make The government do what they
should do themselves, as if the corpur-
atoms were not entitled to the protection
of law as well as individuals. There is
nc reason to doubt the statement of the
most experienced authorities that the
train robbers are encouraged to their
crimes by the knowledge OF the sympathy
they have In the communities in which
they operate and to the fact that they
can terrify the local authorities. VIII
linn Pinkerton cites numerous instances
Of this kind in the article referred to.
If they had national police to deal with
it would be q different matter. The gov
eminent may be compelled to deal with
this business. for the express companies
have contemplated the plan of raising
their rates for the shipment of money to
such figures that the shippers will send
1t by mail. 1t is a fact that most Of the
train robbers are either caught or killed,
but 1t is a fact also that those disposed
to that crime are encouraged to engage
in it through the hope that they will not
be killed and the belief that ii they
escape they can intimidate local police
and enjoy Immunity from arrest. There
are plenty OF well authenticated In
stances Of county officers refusing to run
down the robbers for fear of being assas-
sinated. Federal officers would not have
to live in the haunts Of the robbers and
would not be so easily intimidated. 1t is
a stain upon our national character that
this villainy should be permitted to con
tinue straight along for a quarter Of a
century, and grow in boldness,
