George W. Alger, in Leslie's Magazine.
 But the chiefest terror of the Pinker- ton Detective Agency to evil-doers lies in this, they never stop; they never give up a case in which a member of the American Bankers Association is involved.
 So thoroughly Is this recognized that the little signs hanging in many bank ing offices and reading Member Ameri- can Bankers Association" serves as the best possible protection against the exploits of safe blowers, sneak thieves and forgers An amusing instance of the influence of this reputation is found in a case reported from Wisconsin Sneak thieves entered a banking house in an interior city and succeeded in getting away with negotiable bonds valued at fifty thousand dollars. At the time the robbery was committed the thieves did not notice the sign of the American Bankers Association. which was hanging in an inconspicuous posi- tion. When the affair became public the fact that the bank which had been robbed belonged to the Association was also stated Next day the bank in ques- tion received by express from Milwau- kee, a package containing the stolen bonds intact. With it was a note: Please put your sign where people can see it and save trouble" 1t read.

SATURDAY, MARCH 2s, 1905.
THE DARK SIDE.

The Taunton (Mass) Gazette has a complaining comment that is of some significance to the people of this sec- tion. Governor Douglas of that State Is advocating the establishment of trade schools for the practical and industrial education of boys. To this The Gazette thus demurs:
 If the plan Is to educate men in trade schools to run off west or south, what is left of New England's indusJ tries. the State cannot afford 1t. If the plan Is to educate boys to stay at home and look for work. which does ing burden of State, county and muni- cipa1 taxation, it is a chimerical scheme to spend more money and further grind the noses of taxpayers.
 One of the intimations in that ex- tract Is that the manufactories of the South are killing off New England in- dustries. That this is true to a certain extent. and especially in cotton manu- featuring. Is beyond doubt. While we have no desire to see the industries of any section killed off, we certainly de- sire to see our own built up. That is natural and proper. but we can but think that some of our friends throughout the South are unduly opti- mistic on the subject of bringing the mills of New England down here at once. The development of great manu- featuring adaptability and the building up of great enterprises is not the work of a few years or of a generation. The New Englanders have on their side the advantages of many generations of constant practice, experience and ap- plication. and we must take both time and patience. as well as skill, to get ahead of them. It will come, but not all at once
 Another point is that the youths who obtain good industrial education In New England are prone to come South to obtain positions. Doubtless that is true. and the fact is not entirely to our credit. We should educate and train our own young people so that we would not be dependent on any other section for skilled machinists. superintendents and operators. We have heretofore de- pended too much on New England for skilled mechanics and should begin to see the end of it. We have just as good raw material in Alabama as they have in Massachusetts. and with proper training in mechanical and tex tile schools they would be prepared to fill any position in mill or factory.
 Evidently. The Gazette is not very hopeful of the future of New England, but it should reflect that it was not to be expected that the home of the cotton mills should remain forever in that section. It was bound to move in this direction, and the slow rate which has marked its movement should have put the Yankee brethren on notice and given them time to adopt them selves to the inevitable. The mills will come this way. for it Is natural that they should, but it will be by de- liberate progression.
