Train Bobbert and a State Police.
This country has had in the past
six montns, the Railroad Gazette
finds, sixty-one attempts to wreck
trains and forty-one attempts to rob
trains. Train wrecking is most com
mon in the belt of States from Mass
achusetts to Illinois. These states
have a big mileage and frequent
trains. They are, as every one knows,
the great tramp route of the country.
The Erie and Central have more
tramps than the Pennsylvania lines,
and the roads between Pittsburg and
Buffalo, Chicago and St. Louis, have
more tramps than lines to the south or
to the west.
This accounts for the large propor
tion of train wrecking in these states.
Train robbing is a western disease
and worst west and not east of the
Mississippi. Two-thirds of the train
robbers have been in a belt from
Iowa and Nebraska to Texas, includ
ing Kansas. The Railroad Gazette
justly says that this is a Populist re
gion and when a big political party
and its leaders arc abusing the rail
roads as thieves it is not surprising
that some men in the season are led
to try to even up things.
But whatever the reason the serious
thing is that train robbers, once rare,
steadily increases. They occur in
the old states as well as new. While
most of them are west,a full fourth are
east of the Mississippi. Their be
ginnings have been seen in New York.
No state and no railroad has made
any provision against them. In all
of them the peace, security and pro
tection of the countryside is left to
the country constable and the sheriff
and his deputies.
This has not proved enough to
keep the peace in rural and thickly
settled districts in any other country
in the world. It will not here. Every
other civilized country has a state
police, part of it mounted, which
keeps the peace on the farm roads,
the highways and the railroads. Spain,
forty years ago, was full of train rob
bers, until such a force was establish
ed. Italy had them until this was
done. Highwaymen in north and
bandits in south Europe existed in all
European countries until a paid, or
ganized rural police waj organized
and established in some way. With
such a police this evil has disappeared
in every European country but Sicily,
Calabria and Andalusia, where there
are still bandits.
This police was not paid by the
rural taxpayers. Not at all. It was
supported by the central authority.
Here it ought to be organized and
paid by the states. Until this is done
the Railroad Gazette will have an in
creasing number of train robberies to
report in every half-year and the daily
paper an increasing number of lynch
ings for the lynching is really only
an attempt to make up by popular
violence for a loose and inefficient
execution of the laws. Ptess.
