That the Empire state is in as much need of the ald which could thus be given to the better maintenance of law and or- der appeals to the'advocates of the idea, and certainly there is as much reason for it as fhere is in Massa- chusetts and Connecticut. In Pennsyl- vania a state constabulary of much efficiency has proved of great value, especially in the eoal mining regions where strike conditions bave had to be handled. There is unquestionadly a large amount of business for such an organ- ization in extending to the rural com- munities the means of striking at the evasion of laws which is poorly guard- ed against without some such unbiased force. 1t has the authority and the means for}pursuit of criminals and lawbreakers not possessed by the small towns or even some of the citles, and being made up of trained men it is an active and powerful force for good. Whatever can be done in an effec- tive way for the dfscouragement of crime and® the carrying out of the laws which are made to be observed deserves genmerous support. Even though others have in many cases the authority of the state constabulary the very fact that they have it and fail to exercife it is one of the best reasons for the existence of such an active statewide body.

It is a terrific price to pay for the com- bination of sport and carelessness.
