POSITION

Mayor Flatter yesterday appointed
Mrs. Helen Stephenson, now connect
cd with the Federated Charities, as
special police officer working under
the direction of Chief Of Police Thos.
Malone. The appointment OF Mrs.
Stephenson as policewoman is made
In concurrence with the action OF the
city council recently, authorizing the
trial Of policewoman for three
months, and under the provision OF the
law which permits the naming of spec
ial police officers by the mayor.
Urged to Accept
Mrs. Stephenson will serve only part
OF her time lnasmuch as she Ii still
connected with the Federated Chari-
ties. Her selection for the post meets
with the approval Of many OF the la
dies organizations In the city, and
she was particularly urged to accept
by the members Of the Ladies' Lit
erary club. For some time she was
insistent i'm her refusal 10 accept, but
the assurance given her that the work
as pollcewoman would not require sew
erance from her position with the
Charities. led her at last to accept.
Mrs. Stephenson was not Obliged to
take an examination. IL being the
unanimous opinion of those who had
urged her appointment. that she pos
sessed every necessary qualification
for the position.
Mrs. Stephenson Is q newspaper

papers at Ashland and Portage for

20 be carried to the point Of the use
of firearms on the alleged violators Of
those laws, unless, of course, it comes
to the extreme point in which the pro-
tector OF the law Ii himself threatened
with death. In the case which has
developed in Bennington county the
warden who is alleged to have shot q
Sandgate man through the head as
serts that he fired III self-defense mas
much as the man whom he was arrest
ing pointed shotgun at him. Grant
ing for the moment that such was the
case, there does not Seem to have been
any necessity for the occurrence to
have progressed to such a point that
firearms should be brought into use,
if the game warden had exercised
enough tact. The majesty Of the law
--even though game laws--might have
been maintained, it, would appear,
without resort to violence and with
out the necessity for self protection to
the extreme point. AT least, all in
formation now available on the case
would seem to carry that conviction.

SAFEGUARDING THE MAILS.

An unguarded driver Of United
States mail truck in New York City
was held up by three bandits at the
midnight hour and his load of mail
was robbed of four sacks containing an
amount Of property variously esti-
mated from 100000 to s2,O00,000.
Mind you, it was an unguarded driver
"a single person in charge Of such a
large amount of money and securities
as that and travelling through the
crime jungle of the great metropolis.
Such laxity in the handling of the
mails and Of the property which goes
through the mails calls for sharp pro-
test on the part of the public. The
United States mail is the exclusive
agency for the delivery of mail matter
and as such it is used by the public to
transmit important letters as well as
property in compact form, The public,
trusting to the safety OF the means of
conveyance, has right to demand that
more than one person be put in charge
Of truckload of mail, which is being
transported through the streets of New
York City. Postmaster General Hays,
not long since, issued an order that
postal employees on railroad trains be
instructed in the art of shooting so
that they could meet just such an
emergency as that which arose in New
York City one night recently. If it is
important that postal employees on
trains be taught how to use firearms
and instructed to use them when nee.
essary, it is equally as important that
custodians of trucks carrying valuable
mail be similarly trained and instruct

A Cheering Breeze from the West.

One only has to spend few days
in the central west to observe more
smoke coming from the chimneys Of the
industrial plants than in the east, Not
all plants--in fact not many are work

them are in operation. The westerner
is certainly more optimistic concerning
business conditions in general. Rather

tact with men who have passed the pes
simistic stage and view the future with
the. right sort of courage. Grumbling
over poor business Is not the proper
remedy to speed up business and the

it out the better. Sometimes it is nee

Town correspondence from one small
hill town in Vermont tells Of the re-
cent purchase of farms by two parties
from other states. This particular
town happens to be the one in which
family of newcomers to the state has
made notable success Of their agTi-
cultural venture on hillside farm,
which was thought to be good for little
except grazing. Possibly the success
Of this family is proving an incentive
to ambitious people in other states.
There are good many hill farms in

ties to come and make good.

The formation of a state COMMITTEES

dubious times just ahead; but it

that the committee will not be forced

that the Limousine was hurled onto the

death against support Of the ele-
