Relieve the Militia of Police Service

In advocating the establishment of state
police force for New York the Merchants Asso-
citation puts forth an argument bound to appeal
to city jewellers as well as the rural population
most likely to benefit directly by the work Of
such force. That is the desirabity of its use
to relieve the militia Of police duty, with the con-
sequent benefit to the militia. 1t is difficult to
obtain recruits for the National Guard now. In
ducements of clublike armories and appeals to a
sense of duty alike fail to keep the militia
strength up to what its officers believe to be the
proper mark. One reason given for this state
Of affairs ty officers of the guard is that soldiers
don't like to do police work, which they now have
to do in case of strikes, rotng and kindred
breaches of the peace They have feeling that
such service isn't what they enlisted for; know-
edge that they may be called on for it prevents
many men from enlisting and many honorably
d. harged militamen from re-enlisting.
This phase Of the question is Of especial i'm
portance Just now. Any measure which will tend
to bring about more interest in the National
Guard is desirable. But benefit would not be con-
fined TO the guard. A state police force Of
mounted mer is mobile, and, being trained for
police work, Is bound TO be more efficient in hand
ling sudden outbreaks Of riotng than the Ma
tiona Guards. The experience in Pennsylvania
has been that the militia has never been called
out for such service since the formation of the
state constabulary. Moreover, the work Of that
force has been so careful, efficient, so just in
law enforcement, that even in serious labor trou-
bles it has handled the situation without difficulty,
whereas the militia would have been likely to
produce bloodshed, perhaps comparable TO that
Of the battles in Colorado.
This is only one phase of the duties of state
police force, and, month in and month out, not
the most important one compared with regular
patrol duty in regions otherwise unpoliced and
unpatroed. But it is important enough to
make the merit Of the proposal even more clear
and its appeal even more widespread.
