Life I'm the Wild East.

~ THAT would a person do If
w robber held him up?" is
question that is having
a great run in the eastern newspapers
1t Is question that has more practical
side than rs marriage failure?" Is
suicide justifiable?' and others of that
class. Inasmuch as many western peo-
pie are sometimes compelled to go East
and run the risk of highway robbery.
the question is one that may be said to
concern the whole country. A Boston
newspaper has submitted it to several
chiefs of police in Massachusetts. Their
answers are summarized as follows
.First-The person, for his own sake
and in the interest of justice, should
keep cool. That may be easier advised
than done, yet the advantage is with
the man who does not lose his wits or
his temper. Without keeping his head
he cannot make the observations neces-
sary to subsequent identification.
"Second-The person held up should
try TO fix in his mind some of the per-
sonal peculiarities of the thief. his
height, features-if he is not masked
and especially his voice, which. as one
of the writer's says. is one of the most
certain means of identification.
"Third-All agree that il one is armed
and can take the highwayman at an
advantage, the former is justified in
shooting to kill
= "Fourth-But if not armed all agree
that il is folly to resist. especially if it
is obvious that the robber is desperate
character
"Fifth-Several of the chiefs say that
in case a woman is attacked, the hes;
thing she can do IL to scream. This,
they hold, will usually disconcert the
assailant as well as bring assistance.
On the other hand, one of the chiefs
says, an unarmed man should not re-
sist an armed robber and woman
should not scream on otherwise invite
attack
Another eastern exchange, reviewing
the answers, remarks that lin the main
they are sensible and worthy of OBJ
servance. OF course, the circumstances
and conditions in no two holdups are
the same, and ii is impossible to pre-
scribe rules which in every case can be
strictly followed, But one should at
least determine that he will not need
lessly and hopelessly expose his life by
giving way TO his temper or in trying
TO save the few dollars he may have in
his pocket Oh such an occasion"
The remarkable increase in highway
robbery in the Eastern states is only
equaled by the remarkable increase of
murders. hurglaries and other high
crimes Life and property way back
there are held very cheap and civiliza-
ton Is painfully slow and uncertain.
