League and Other Detectives.

"No Politics" cites as prece
dent for the leagues employing de.
tectives, that railroad companies and
and mercantile houses employ them.
Indeed they do. But suppose a rail-
road detective should induce some
person to ditch train or break into a
car and plumber it of merchandise in
order to secure criminal. How LONG
would he retain his position? or
suppose the detective employed bv a
mercantile house should induce some
person to burglarize the store or to
play the incendiary act toward it,
would he retain his job?
The railroads and the mercantile
house employ detectives to prevent
the commission of crime. The league
employ detectives whose business is
to induce others to commit acts that
are unlawful. There is a broad dis
tinction between the duties of a rail-
road or mercantile detective, and a
league detective. The former is en-
plooed to prevent the commission of a
wrongful act, the latter to induce
some one to commit an unlawful act
And the difference in the character
of the victims caught is quite as re-
markable. When the railroad detect
ives have caught their man not rep
utable person in the community has
a good word for him. When the league
detectives have caught person not a
reputable person of the community ,
speaks i'll of him. The precedent of
the league is from the infamous record
ofTorquemada, the Inquisitor General
Of the Spanish Inquisition which in a
few years burned over $1,000 at the
stake, and the total of whose victims
was over 100000. "No Politics" said
in his last windy effusion: "Now 1 am
done with YOU" We by no means are
done with exposing the falacy and the
of the league as defined by
this Lacquer.
