To Deal with Draft Evaders.

Steps toward the proper procedure
for dealing with suspected draft evad-
ers by the American Legion have
been taken by Robert A. Adams, ma
tional judge advocate Of the Legion.
Mr.. Adams wrote to Maj. Gen. E. III.
Crowder, provost marshal general Of
the army, for information concerning
Just what action the Legion should

ment.
The art of cleverness was the thing
that Welsh set out to perfect, and he
accomplished that purpose, as was
demonstrated when he became cham
pion of 'em all.
While Welsh was champion he was
smart enough not to engage in con-
tests in which the referee was en-
powered to grant decisions. Therefore
it didn't make the least bit of differ
ence whether he was beaten in the
ring, as long as he wasn't knocked
out; there was no chance of the titles
being taken away from him.
There were any number of times
that Welsh was beaten by wide mar
gin in no-decision bouts, from which,
had decision been permissible, a new
champion would have emerged.

State cOnstabulsry.

Crime waves always generate waves
of alleged protection from crime Such
a wave is sure to follow the attempted
suppression of crimes in many cities of
the country. In Connecticut the wave
of lesser crimes in the form OF maraud-
ing farm crops has become so serious
the grangers of that state are sdvocat-
ing the establishment of a state con
stabulary for the protection of crops in
the rural districts, and il is expected
the state grange at its annual session
in January will endorse the scheme and
introduce bill to that effect in the
legislature.
II is said that farmers throughout
that state have suffered greatly from
the thefts of their fruit and produce
crops but no vigorous attempt to check
the thieves has been undertaken. The
plan for state constabulary is the
first attempt to bring about a sys.
tematic effort to prevent the raiding OF
farmers crops. There seems TO be no
reason why the farmers should not be
protected even If IL is expensive. The
expense is only an indication of the Sc
robustness Of this form Of robbery

lence OF homicides in Vermont If the
