USE OF FIREARMS IN DRY"
ENFORCEMENT.

The affair at Canaan In which Gus
toms men fired a rifle into a house and
~narrowly missed the woman OF the
house in their efforts to stop an auto
mobile party of men suspected Of be-
ing engaged in rum-smuggling is q
fragrant case Of extremely bad jnlg-
ment in law enforcement. Rum-smug-
Cling now presents a serious aspect
and requires strong efforts to cope
with it; but it is not so serious a mat
ter that the lives of innocent persons
in their own homes should be placed
in jeopardy or that the safety OF per-
sons on the street should be endan-
gered. In the Canaan affair the Gus
toms men took their stand at a point
in the highway just at the entranee
to the village and when the suspected
men refused TO stop when confronted
with a large sign stretched across the
road the customs men began using
their firearms. The range of their sul-
let's, of necessity, was directly toward
the village and down the principal ses-
idential street of the village. One bull
let caught one Of the men in the pur-
sued automobile; another found its
way into a house and came perilously
near striking a m Had it not
been for the fact that the bullet, par
TALLY spent by passing through he
outer wall Of the building, was defect
ed by a hardwood surface it is prob
able that the m would have been
struck by the missile and would have
received serious il not mortal wound.
Several more shots were fired at the
fleeing automobile but, fortunately,
none Of them struck pedestrians or
entered other houses.
The use of firearms in this manner
was very unwise. Indeed, there is
doubt about the wisdom of using fire
at all unless it be in an effort
to cripple the motor vehicle by pune
turing tires or gasoline tanks. 1t is
known that many of the men engaged
in the rum drumming business are des
perate characters and would not stop
at anything; but unless the officials
are themselves attacked or menacsd
ought TO be instructed to fore 20
The use of firearms entirely, or merely
10 confine their efforts toward dis
ibling the carrying machines. And in
he latter instances the customs men
ind enforcement agents should be IN
to take up their stand at
POINTS where their bullets would rot
inter villages or single houses in ne
districts. Federal Commission
II Haynes is reported as having de
against the use Of firearms en-
ess in case of attack, so that it is 10
,e expected that there will be no repe-
ition in Vermont Of such a wretcLed
fair as that at Canaan recently.

Newspaper accounts of the observ-
ance Of Memorial day last Tuesday
seem to agree in the estimate that this
years observance was in some respects
IN exhibition of more patriotism and
more reverence for the nations lead
han it was in several of the recent
years. Memorial day is the one holi-
lay Of the year in American life in
which a particular appeal is made to
the patriotism and loyalty of all
Americans by means of address
through their minds. Other holidays
we have of a patriotic nature but none
IF them is like Memorial day in its
appeal through the intelligence. Iris
good to see the progress that is being
made in reaching the people in this
way.

The %marauding gypsies who entered
a house at South Randolph, stole all
he food off the table set for supper
and then fed in their automobiles gave
new proof of the undesirability of hsr-
boring this class of bandits in any
community, even for a few minutes.
These nomadic people live off the land
they travel over; and they have no
compunctions whatever about the man
ner in which they get that living.
Stealing a supper off a mans table is
only one of the manifestations of their
