no innocent persons have been op-

The state police force is not a

districts where protection is most

can affirm that more and better por-
lection is not needed in the rural
districts of West Virginia.
Then, the state police force is a
trained body of men; we all know
that the ordinary sheriff's deputies
and constables are not trained men.
In their selection, political party
service is the road to preferment
Many of these, perhaps most OF
them, notwithstanding this fact, are
excellent men, jealous in the per
Torrance of their duty, and doing
their duty to the best OF their abil
ity. But they lack training and there
is no way to train them. outside OF
action as guardians of the peace
and enforcers OF the mandates OF
the court. they perform many other
civic duties. which, of a routine ma
ture, are nevertheless exacting as

CNLhRGING The STATE POLICE
FORCE is a NECESSITY
from The Charleston MaiD

The house OF delegates has passed
bill enlaTging the state police
force 1t is hoped that this bill will
become law. That the state police
force needs enlargement is beyond
question present day fact that
disorders are occurring in West Vir-
ginia beyond the powers OF the or
dinary authorities to cope with is
quite patent to readers of the news
papers.
Some of those VINO have objected
10 the enlargement OF the state pol
ice force base their objection on
the ground that they believe the civ
il authorities should maintain order
and protect the public; some even
express a fear of Prussianism. Bat
there does not appear to be any just
grounds for such fear. Cities have
special police force but our libef.
ties have not been destroyed. The
cities have not been Prussianized
Now. why did the cities come to
establish a police force? Why did
they not depend upon the sheriff and
the deputies to preserve order? The
reason is plain enough. In the com
pick life Of the cities, their mani
fold activities and from the neces.
sity Of having available for instant
action a police power the municipal
police force was constituted Does
any one imagine for one moment
that. after long trial and expert
ence. even with experience, some
times, with an inefficient and bad
police force, that the system will
ever be abandoned? Who. today, is
opposed to city police force save
the criminals?
Now those who oppose the en-
largement of the state police force
are unquestionably actuated by sin
cere motives. but their objections
are vague and express only shadowy
fears. The state of West Virginia
has a state police force, small but
capable. There has been nothing al.
legged to its detriment against its

COMMENT OVER
WEST VIRGINIA
WITHOUT TEACHERS FOR FOUR
YEARS
Iron State Educational ASSN

(From State Educational ASSN
The seriousness OF the school situ-
alton in West Virginia was well sta
ted when Governor John J. Cornwei!
in his message to the legislature
said The situation as regards rural
schools throughout the state mas
been serious the past year There
was practically one-tenth Of our ru-
raj districts without teachers. That
is not due to Indifference on the
part Of the people OF the state p
educational work but to inability to
obtain teachers at the present rate
OF pay. While there vas very
large increase in attendance at the
state university. in the normal
schools and in the high schools, an

youth Of the state to secure an edd.

schools were closed aud the children

as you will be by numerous and per.
picking problems, this one should
not be overlooked, for il strikes at
the very foundation OF Our citizen
ship and OF our government. as
we'll"
That the governor was right in
describing the situation as serious,
was confirmed by questionnaire
cent out by the West Virginia State
Education Association in January,
1921, about the time the governor
sent this message to the legislature.
In the twenty-three out Of fifty-tive
counties that answered the ques'
tionnaire, there were in January 232
schools the county superintendents
report that sixty to seventy had no
teachers last year and that at least
eight had not had teachers for four
years. II this proportion holds for
the other counties of the state APP
prOXimately $50 schools were vacant
in January to say nothing Of the
schools that had not had teachers
for four years or more. These 232
schools represented 1896 children.
On the same basis the 500 schools
would represent 1910 and the sixty
to seventy schools not having had
teachers for two years represent
$50 to 1900 pupils.
In this connection attention is cal
led to the fact that the counties i'll
which the largest number of vacan-
cies occur-Barbour, Clay, Randolph
Nicholas, and Summers, are the
counties either lying in the noun
tains or being given over almost eX
clusively to agricultural interests,
and therefore do not have the
wealth that the counties with fewer
vacancies have. These counties
have many boys and girls who later

fer a pecuniary loss that was many
times greater than what rigid and
Just enforcement OF the law would
have cost-not to mention the far
greater moral depreciation.
So far as the liberties of Vest

tuition and the courts are on guard
and will preserve them. while :
state police force is merely the iri-s
strument by which the guarantees
of the constitution are preserved to
all the people.
There does not appear to be

strengthening of the state police
force, but there are many reasons
why it should be strengthened.
