State Police Needed.

Two weeks ago we mentioned the
need of a better system for the detec-
tion of crime and the apprehension OF
criminals in the state. Vermont has
succeeded in capturing good number
Of criminals under its present system
but it is done in spite of the law and
rot because the law is framed to assist
them. OF course the high sheriffs OF the
counties are paid salary and are ex-
peeted TO devote as much of their time
as necessary in the performance of their
duties But the law does not provide
any pay for deputy sheriff unless he
is serving a warrant or serving III court
under order for his chief. Should q
crime be committed in the neighborhood
where a deputy resides and it be neces-
sary to follow out clues in order to
detect the criminal, the state law pro-
vides no compensation for the deputy
unless warrant for the arrest OF some
Individual has been issued. True the
faithful official who does actual detec-
tive work is often called as a witness
and so receives some fees, but the law
does not directly authorize any COM
pensaton for active work by the local
official.
The only legal provision for detective
work Is through an application by the
states attorney to the attorney general,
who can authorize the employment Of a
detective.
Probably this is better than the en-
ployment Of local deputies for detec-
tive work because under our present sys-
tenn of electing our sheriffs we are not
sure of securing men adapted to or ex-
pert in detective work But this is not
entirely desirable. In the first place it
i impossible to get an ont of the state
detective to the scene of the crime as
promptly as desirable. Then it means
the expenditure of a large amount of
money on out of the state agencies.
For the last fiscal year Vermont spent
over $4,000 for the service of non-resi-
dent detectives. They secured eonyic
ton and fining of enough criminals to
pay this enormous sum but
the money went out of the state all
the same.
Probably this work could have been
accomplished at less cost by corps
of state detectives located in the inn
portant towns and cities. These men
should be appointed by the governor,
so they would be independent OF the. To-
cal voters and selected on the ground
of efficiency and stationed at differ
emf points as the good of the service
demands They should be under the d.
rection of a state chief and subject to
his call. Then when a crime is COM
mitted officers could he notified in all
perts Of the state and required to watch
all rrepues Of escape.
This could be demanded Of them be-
cause they are paid for it and they |
are conprtant to do such work Let !
sheriff notify a sheriff in another county /
TO be on he lookout for crime and |
there is no compensation unless cap
lure is made, lvt with a state police |
L would be different. There are many /
details necessary ~ be arranged as to
method C. appointment. etc,
but it is time the people should be
studying the subject IF improved police |

If Richeson should wish candid
opinion of himself, he ought to read the
entire denrneiation which President Horr
of the Newton Theological seminary
poured out in an address before the
students of the condemned mans alma
mater. The denunciation was bitter in
the extreme. But standing out in con
trast is the loyalty OF the .ather of the
young woman whom Richeson had in
tended to marry as soon as Avis Linnell
was out of the way. Under the terrible
shadow which the clergyman cast over
the Edmands household and even in the
face of the absolute confession of Richie
sons wicked plotting, this father eyinees
faith in the condemned man that Is
pathetic in its childlikeness. Loyalty is
splendid attribute, but really heroic
only when based on something more tan
gible than the Brookline man has at the
present time. However, there is no de-
nying that he is free to make his own
course in the matter.

A double-track system might not have
forfended the possibility of the wreck
near Randolph yesterday morning, whel
one life was sacrificed, much damage
done to rolling stock and an entire sys.
tenn tied up for many hours; but It
double-track system makes it unneces-
sary for trains to wait at stations for
the passage of trains going in the oppo
site direction and thus makes less likely
the rear-end collision which inadequate
tagging or other cause renders possible.
The business of the Central Vermont
by reason of its being an outlet for
Grand Trunk traffic, has grown to such
proportions that it makes double track
ing ell-nigh imperative for satisfactory
railroading; and the demand is bound to
increase as the business of the company
expands as it seems likely to do. In
the light of those. conditions, It is al
most certain that the Central Vermont
will change to two-track system be-
fore great while. When that is an
accomplished fact, we shall find our
freight moved much more expeditiously
and safely.

DUNCAN AT CONVENTION.
Credited By Barre Man With Being the
Biggest Man at Atlanta.

In the January issue of the Granite
Cutters Journal, w. w. Russell and
Paul Bianehi of Barre, who were dele
gates from the G.. G. |. A. to the Amer
lean Federation of Labor convention in
Atlanta, have something to say regard
ing that convention, as follows;
"Brothers,-We take this opportunity
Of thanking the members of the G. c.
/. A. for comforting the honor of elect
ing us to accompany our |. 5. t. as
representatives of our association to the
recent convention of the A. +. of L.,
held at Atlanta, Ca, and in connection
with which the following statements
may prove interesting:
1--WE found that a great many organ
izations elect delegates for from three
TO five years. and the wisdom of this
method is shown very forcibly during
the convention.
"a delegate attending for one year
does not and cannot have the inside in
formation pertaining to matters TO be
acted on by the A. F. of /. convention.
particularly matters carried forward
from year to year, that a delegate has
who has been attending for a number
OF years.
"And this condition of affairs causes
the one-year delegate to refrain from
taking the floor, when otherwise he
probably would.
1--WE were impressed very favorably
with the appearance of the delegates. to
the convention; they were elean-cut
body of men and women, who appeared
to thoroughly realize the great import
ancc of matters acted on by the conven-
ton. and that all sides of any question
should be heard and listened TO with dig

STATE OF BUSINESS FROM CUT
TERS' STANDPOINT.

Perusal of the January number of the
Granite Cutters Journal, the periodical
of the Granite Cutters international
association, is very interesting in many
respects, as the editors get out very
creditable paper; and especially interest
ing, although depressing, are the reports
from the correspondents of the various
branches as to the state of the granite
business over the continent, as judged
from the standpoint of the cutters. We
suppose it is rather lean time of the
year in the granite industry anyway,
but the reports one after another about
slack business seem unusually pessimis-
tic in some quarters. For instance, here
are some of the samples: Business is
very quiet around here; Business is
very slow here; ut is the same old
story, very little doing; 81 don't think
that it is worth the paper to tell the
news from here; 'You can hear some
of the men passing their opinion as to
the probable duration of the job, and by
the looks of things it cannot last a
great while longer, for the majority at
least; "Trade conditions in this local
ity have not frightened up any since our
report of a month ago.; and so on, with
too great frequency.
On the other hand, there are letters
which, if not Indicative of lively bust
ness, are more toward the optimistic.
at any rate. In this class we find the
report from the correspondents OF the
largest branch, that of Barre. After
remarking that few firms were So
busy as to keep running during the
holiday season, the correspondent adds;
Also at the qusrries no time was lost,
which is good omen at this season,
and though predictions are often unrell-
