Under the head Of as Theft Respectable?
the Boston Commercial Bulletin says There j
great deal of nonsensica and worse than use
less twaddle wasted on bank delaulters
weak sentimentaliSm and lalse sympathy al
ways make themselves apparent when the dc
fanlter is a respected" Citizen who has "stoo
high" in Social circles" and has occupied
position" in mercantile regions. Such offer
sve twaddle has been especially eXuberant i
the case of one Of these men who have jus
"made unlawful use of the funds" Of the bank
of which they were the trusted and well pal
serT ants. That he has been respected" is we
educated, has moved in good society, is Il
excuse whatever; it is, on the contrary, an e1
aggeratiOn of the offense. For such a ma
ought to know better, and does know better
q and he commits the crime with full knowledg
of its wickedness, and in the face of its probabl
results. The burglar may have been reare
from birth in a thieves den, and may haV
heard only thieves morality; but man reare
in Christian home cannot plead even the poo
excuse ofignorance.
