The moral is obvious. Do not attempt to
excuse things that are inexcusable.
A Condition That Invites Crime.


The American bank employe of dishonest
instincts is having just now an unusually
soft time. While his honest brethren are toll
ing day after day for thousand or two a
year, and struggling to lay up something for
q rainy day he stuffs cool 100000 or so in
to his pocket, walks to the depot esurely,
buys through ticket to Canada and the
next day when the directors wake up and
find that bis accounts are awry he is across
the border beyond the reach of the law with
enough of his plumber to keep him in COM
Portable circumstances for the rest of his life.
This is not fanciful or exaggerated state
ment. 1t has been exemplifed in real life
a half dozen times within year or two. 1t
was only three days ago that a man named
Scott who had been the paying teller of the
Manhattan bank OF New York for twenty
years went through precisely this perform
ance. he went out of the bank at the close
of the days business with 100000 of stolen
funds in his possession with as much non
chalance as his fellow employees who had in
their pockets only what they had honestly
earned. He FASTENED to the depot, took the
train going west and soon had escaped every
danger but the qualms of his own con-
science.
Scott appears to have lived correct life
during all the time that he was connected
with the bank, with the exception of two or
three months past. He was not gambler,
he did not own trotting horse, he had no
expensive tastes, and he apparently did not
live extravagantly. There is no evidence
that he had been specializing and drawn on
the bank for the necessary capital. His case
is altogether unique and the usual explana-
tons are inapplicable to it.
There is abundant room therefore for spec
ulation as TO the origin of his crime. 1t seems
TO us that the most plausible theory is that it
was largely the result of the knowledge that
IL could be committed with IMMUNITY. Scott
was probably one of those men whose in
herent virtue is not proof against tempta-
ton, but need the bracing Of the fear of
punishment. 1t can hardly be doubted that
any time during the last twenty years he
would have yielded to temptation as readily
as he did within the past few months had
there not been before his eyes the vision of

The Massachusetts legislature has come to
the conclusion that it will not undertake to
regulate the price of telephones. Probably its
decision resulted from the conviction that
whatever bill it might pass relating to the
subject would be overthrown by the courts
on account of unconstitutionality. The bill
embodied the popular sentiment which is
that the Bell Company is altogether too
greedy and had it not been for the legal
difficulties in the way it would undoubtedly
have become a law.

Special Announcement.

We take pleasure in announcing that
we have made arrangements with the
publishers of the Chicago Weekly News
which enable us to club that paper with
the Turner County Herald at the very
low price of S2.25 per year for the
two. This is beyond question the first
time that a metropolitan weekly has
been brought within the reach of sub
scribers at so small an additional price.
For this comparative small amount our
readers can place themselves in COM
mand of the whole situation. All events
of interest, local. national and foreign,
will be presented completely and
promptly by one or the other of these
publications.. The single feature of
full and trustworthy Chicago market
quotations will be worth. to many OF
our readers, more than the additional
amount involved in the clubbing ar
rangement. TO those who are not fa-
miIiar With the character of the Chi
cago News, VIC would say it is the best
representative of independent journal
ism in thew west.
We trust that all our readers will
avail themselves of this unusual oppor-
tunity of securing a Chicago weekly at
so tritling a cost.

A DISASTROUS FIRE.

Shortly after midnight last Tuesday
the citizens of Swan Lake were aroused
by the dread CRY of fire and We're
able to get to the scene only in time to
see the ruins Of the postotfice building
with all its contents, including the
records of the probate court, of which
y. z. Stuart. postmaster, was judge.
The fire next communicated to the
store building of Jerry Murphy, which
was entirely destroyed with portion
of its contents. Mr. Murphy's loss is
in the neighborhood of $500, upon
which there was no insurance, his
policy having expired a short time ago.
The postoffice building was the proper
ty of Mr.. Stuart. and his loss will
amount to about $3.50, upon which he
has an insurance of $50, in The Yank-
ton company.
That this fire was the work of an in.
cendiary there is not the least donbt.
There had been no fire in the building
since four o'clock in the afternoon, and
Mr.. Stuart stepped in and got his over
coat about six o'clock, just previous to
going to his farm. a number of young
people returned to Swan Lake from
Hurley between eleven and twelve
o'clock and there was then no sign OF
fire. The object of the burnidg is a
mystery, but time will doubtless clear
itup.
The building containing the register
of deeds and county clerks Office was
saved by hard fighting.
There will be a public installation of
officers of the l. 0. G. T., Tuesday eve
ming, February Sd. Also a lecture by
Rev. j. p. Coffman. Meeting TO beheld
at School House Hall, commencing at
7:3o. The public are cordially invited
to attend.
