SIX MONTHS
RECORD SHOWS
POLICE WORK
MICHIGAN TROOPERS MAKE
MORE ARRESTS IN HALF YEAR
THAN EVER BEFORE.
Development of Constabulary lndlcat'
ed BY Variety of Different
Services Performed.

Major Robert L. Marsh, command
ing the Michigan State Police. has
made public the record of his depart
ment for the six months ending De
cember 81, 1920. This shows that
| 1870 arrests were made and SS9 con
victions secured in the six months as
compared with 1,046 arrests and S5z
convictions in the entire year ending
June 80, 1920. Better organization OF
the force and a more widespread &C
tivity throughout the state accounts
for increase in arrests and conYic'
tions.
1t has been the aim Of Major Marsh
to train the State Police as a body OF
men to cooperate with state ana
county officials in law enforcement
work and to supply trained police OIL
ficers for service in the rural com
munities. Uniform law enforcement
throughout the state, with no favorit
ism, has been the ideal sought.
That Michigan. outside OF the larger
cities, ranks better than other states In
the lnatter of killings is evidenced Dy
the fact that only three murderers were
arrested during the six months. Ihere
were six bank robbers arrested ana
one highwayman. Four men were
held for rape and four others tor i'm
moral acts. Burglars arrested mum
bered ten while as were taken Tor
grand larceny, 20 for simple larceny
and others for pocketpicking, OBTAIN
ing money under false pretenses anu
other crimes against property. Ma
turally, there were numerous arrests
for drunkenness, disorderliness ana
disturbing the peace. One escaped con
yict was recaptured. Gambling &C
counted for So arrests. Prohibition
law violations resulted in 337 arrests
In fact, there was hardly a crime
on the statute books for which arrests
we're not made by the troopers. Inc
motor laws caused more than QUO ar
rests alone.
Instances where aid was given local
officials totalled 4SS and assistance
was given in 81 automobile accidents
The troopers helped 80 times In hght
ing forest fires AMI 2S times in mis-
cellaneous fires. In 20 instances as
sistance was rendered to state de
partments. A total CT S,l44 complaints
were investigated.
Guard duty was undertaken AT -
fairs in the state. Eighteen MISSING
persons were found, OF whom TWO
were adults. Twenty-six automopiles
were recovered for owners Inir'y

raids 26 roulette wheels. 81 slot ma

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. w. H. FELTON,

ARE the Americans to do, while these
people work for US and wait on us?
do not wish to see Americans sit
and become opulent, inactive and
weak. I do not wish our people to
rest while other people work and
we sit in palaces and high places, and
wear soft rainment. Through work
us instil into the minds of every
| American, whether native or foreign
born. that this is the great land of
opportunity, where work counts, and
perseverance wins success"
Then Hon. Bourke Cochran rose
again to say: "This proposed measure
simply provides that the provisions
; of this proposed law shall not apply
to political refugees, and existing law
shall govern application of a new
law. If that amendment be not
adopted, then we have abandoned.
not merely the traditional policy of
this country, but the policy of every
civilized country.
If this bill had not been in opera
ton some generations ago, Kosseth
could not have been landed here.
John Mitchell, the grandfather of the
the ablest mayor New York City ever
had, could not have landed here.
Thomas Francis Meagher, whose
statute stands today outside the cap
itol of the state of Montana and in
centive to the youth of the state, to
fix their notions of civic virtue by his
example; could not have landed here.
A fugitive from those dreadful coun-
tries would be sent back by the
hand of our officials to eXpiate in his
own person and remuneration of our
principles of civilization, which were
supposed to embody in the highest
degree, during all our existence"
The result in congress has not yet
been declared. They are still debat-
ing. When the end is reached we can
then decide as to our own likes and
dislikes as to whether we should
close the doors, fix the bars, and say
mo further" to the outside people,
who earnestly desire to seek refuge
from the tyrants of the old world; or
whether we shall sing with loud
voice and a sincere heart:
"The home of the brave,
And the land of the free"
