If the general Offices of the Boston
& Maine division, heretofore centering
at Woodsville, are to be moved follow
ing the destructive fire, which wiped
out the station at Woodsville Wednes
day, it is to be hoped that they will
be located at Lyndonville, which offers
an advantageous center. Recent action
of the Boston & Maine in removing
some of its departments from ST.
Johnsbury to Lyndonville may have
been the forerunner of the transfer of
the general offices from Woodsylle
which will now be FASTENED by the de-
struetion of the company's property at
the latter point. If this transfer of
the general offices is to be made the
move will be blow alike to Wells
River, on the Vermont side of the
Connecticut river, and TO Woodsville,
as the general offices brought con
siderable degree of business to both
those communities, besides making

THE TARDY HONOR TO EDWARDS

THE TARDY HONOR TO EDWARDS.
Announcement that Brtgadier- Gen
eral Clarence R. Edwards OF the Unit
ed States army is to be rewarded by
promotion to the rank of maj gen
eral within short time is pleasing in
formation not alone to the members
of the famous Yankee division in the
World war which Edwards was largely
responsible in shaping and over which
he was commander for aNperiod of the
divisions war service but also to
considerable portion of the American
public, which has followed Edwards
war service and his removal from com
mand of the Yankee division. Briga.
dier-General Edwards has a spirit of
independent action which may clash at
times with others, yet he has an un.
doubted faculty of organizing and an
unusual hold on the affections OF the
men he commands, two qualities which
seen to fit him for high service in the
United States army. There has been
a feeling right along that Edwards
merted the promotion to major gen
eral because of his invaluable service
in getting the 26th division ready for
going overseas, for his care of the boys
in the division and for the qualities

Did Valiant Service.
In 1915 Texas joined the Union. The
Mexican war followed Immediately
during which the Rangers performed
such valiant service as scouts and
guerilla fighters with the armies of
Taylor and Scott that they were her
aided as heroes throughout the nation.
In 1874 the Rangers were reorgan-
lied, six companies OF 70 men each.
But an important change was made In
their status and duties. They were TO
protect the frontier and fight Indians
as before, but I'm addition, they were
given the power of peace officers. on
the northern border they fought Lone
Wolfe, Little Bull and other Comanche
warriors; on the southwest they
guarded the Texas side OF the Rio
Grande against Cortlna and his band
OF cattle thieves; in the interior they
pursued and killed Sam Bass, broke
up the SuttOn-Taylor feud and drove
the road agents under cover
When not more actively engaged.
they guarded prisoners, protected
courts and dispersed lynchink parties.
The Rangers were busy men IN those
daysi In their double capacity of sol
diers and peace officers they presented
novel experiment in government, and
one which did not escape criticism.
In fact. all the criticism that has ever
been brought against the Texas
Rangers has been brought against
them in their capacity as peace off
GERS. BE that as II may, during the
ten years following this reorganiza-
tion the Rangers pushed the Indians
to the very limits OF Texas, and
at the same time rendered the interior
II safe and decent place TO live In.
The success OF their work was due
largely to the high personal courage
and indomitable spirit Of the officers
and men.
With the passing Of the Indian raids,
the Rangers were relieved of further
purely military responsibility, anG
from 1885 TO the present they have
devoted themselves largely 10 tho
maintenance of law and Or,ler within
the state.
