Call for stronger rural police protection nationwide
The Philadelphia Press urges better police protection for sparsely settled rural areas. It cites two elderly victims attacked and beaten by organized gangs near Erle and Norristown, one dying, and warns that without a state police presence farmers in lonely homes face bandit threats akin to those in foreign lands. The piece condemns neglect of rural defense and immigration as factors. It notes past lynching and banditry in places like Versailles, arguing it could take generations to root out if protection remains inadequate.
