Crime in Village and Rural Communities.

Within the past few months several
brutal crimes in village and rural COM
munities in the state of Massachusetts
gave rise to a discussion in press and
pulpit of the alleged increase in tine
spirit of lawlessness in such COM
mundties. Various theories have been
advanced and different remedies been
suggested. Perhaps the greatest
wicked cities. a fact that may in
some degree be due to a restlessness
under the commonly expressed belief
that in the great city vice does most
abound. Comparisons have suggested
themselves and, the rural community of
a century ago is held up in comparison
with that of today.
All this discussion, while perhaps
productive of ideas that may prove
profitable, is receiving a new impetus
and fresh interest because of recent
tragedies, several OF which were en-
acted in this State within a week. But
there is one feature about both the
stabbGng ARRAY in the town of Vassal-
boro and the shooting at Livermore
Falls, that SO far as those two COM
munities, at least, are concerned
eliminates the theory, advanced by a
few, that these rural tragedies are az
trlbuta'ble to deyeneracy of the ma
tive stock.
The crimes were committed in botf
inst ances by those not citizens, and not
subjected to any considerable degree
