This scare about thieves and desperadoes
probably is due somewhat to Marshal An
drew's. first proclamation in which he virtual
ly ANNOUNCED that the authorities could give
no adequate protection. This production was
well meant but was somewhat overdone.
Since it was issued a large number of officers
from other cities have been secured and a
great many special policemen appointed. 1t
would seem that the protection of the city
was pretty well provided for.
In our opinion the most of the
thieves who visit the city this week will
be of the sneak variety. We do not antici-
pate the presence of any really desperate
men. Men of that stamp do not seek
crowded streets for their operations. Care
on the part of our citizens not to carry valu-
ables in their pockets, nor to leave the doors
and windows of their houses unsecured and
not to deal with strangers will be necessary.

of pistols and dirk-knives

The Massachusetts legislature has adjourn
ed and gone home and nobody seems to be
sorry One Of the notable features of the
closing hours was the refusal of the presi-
dent of the senate to accept vote of thanks,
on the ground that the thanks Of such coca
sions were always perfunctOry and meaning
less, and therefore the custom of rendering
them had better be done away with. While
the rejoicing over the adjournment is general
it is somewhat tempered by the reflection
that it will only be few months be-
fore another legislature will meet and tear to
pieces much Of the work this one has done.

"Why Not Eat Insects?" is the title of a
recent English book, The writer thinks that
such diet would have certain advantages
for poor people. and he insists that an zap
petizing relish is to be found in 'boiled cat
erpillars, fried grasshoppers. and drilled
cockchafers." His argument rests mainly on
the descriptions of half-staryed travellers
concerning their personal enjoyment of
cooked insects and the fact that certain saw
ages thrive on such diet.

The conviction of Buddensiek, the New
York builder, will probably do much to pre-
vent sham tenement building in the metropo-
lis for some time to come. He was rich, had
influential friends and made a strong fight
before the jury. There could be no doubt of
his guilt in the minds of any unbiased per
son, but the average juryman in great city
is likely to be the kind of man to be suscepti-
BILE to the Establishments of money or to be
easily muddled by the arts of skillful law
yers. There was reason to fear therefore
that Bnddensiek would escape the just penal
ty for his crimes. That he has nor will do
much to reinstate the faith of the public in
the jury system which had been good deal
shaken by the failure of the jury that tried

Richard Grant White.

The death of Richard Grant White of
New York city, which occurred last
week, removes one of our represen-
tatlve American literary men. AS a
Shakesperian writer, he was .confessedly
without rival among modern critics,
while as a magazinist and essayist he has
taken very high rank on both sides of
the water. Mr.. White was a native of
New York city, where he was born in 1921
He was the. son of Richard Mansfield
White, and eighth in descent from John
White, a prominent Puritan, and one Of
the founders of Cambridge, Mass. He
was graduated in 1887 from the Univer-
sity of the city of New York, and studied
both medicine and the law. In 1915 he
was admitted to the bar, but began at
once to engage in literary work. He
founded The Alleghdntan, a short-lived
paper, and was associated with Evert A.
Duyckinck, as editor of Yankee Doodle.
From 1851 to 1858 he held position on the
editorial staff of the New York Courier
and Enquirer, and subsequently was at
tached to the World. In 1853 he publish
ed Biographical and Critical Hand
Book of Christian Art" and in 1854 his
first contribution to the literature of
Shakespeare-"S hakespeare's Scholar
appeared. His greatest work, the Variorum
edition of Shakespeare's works, was pub
lished in twelve volumes in 1912. In
1859 he published an essay upon the
authorship of the three parts of king
Henry w." and in 1865 memoirs of
William Shakespeare, with an Essay
Toward the Expression of His Genius "
These works attracted to Mr.. White the
attention of the literary men of all the
world, and his views of Shakespeare
dramas being in several instances innova-
tions, were the subject Of much discus
sion. Mr.. White also wrote the article on
Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1885-04-17
The Conviction of Fish.

1t is not every day that a New York
bank president and a rich man. is con-
victed of swindling the institution of
which he is the head. But James ID. Fish,
president of the Marine National bank of
New York, who has been on trial for a
month, was found guilty on twelve out Of
twenty-five counts, on Saturday night. In
his charge to the jury Judge Benedict
described the crime charged as threefOld,
-misapplication of funds, false entries
and abstraction of funds and credit. The
Judge called attention to the fact that
large loans were made ostensbly to the
colored boy who swept out the office, and
to other dummy persons; that loans to
Grant & Ward were not reported to the
directors; that concealment shows dis
honesty, and that according to the rule of
evidence, false in one false in all, +" they
might disregard everything Fish said, if
they did not believe some of his state
ments. He told them evidence of previous
good character went for little, since bank
president could always bring such evil
dence, his character being good till it was
exposed 1t was simply a question of in
tent The acts charged had for the most
part been admitted. And if they found
that these were committed with intent to
defraud the bank, or to deceive the bank
directors or the bank examiner, then they
should convict; but if there was reason
able doubt in their minds as to the intent,
the accused was entitled to it.
! According to the best of my ability"
said the Judge, 81 have discharged my
duty here, and now the responsibility
shifts from me and rests on you. 1t is a
solemn responsibility, for this statute
which you are called upon now to consid-
er, is statute framed for the protection
of that great trust which is represented
by the National banks of the United States,
on which rests the welfare, one might al
most say the peace, of this community.
You have been summoned to administer
public law for your fellow citizens, acting
under an oath, as we all are The Dis
trict-Attorney is bound by his oath. |,
too, am bound by an oath | wonder il
you ever heard the oath that Judge of n
Court of the United States takes when he
takes upon him and enters upon the du-
ties of his Office
The foreman of the jury; II never
did"
The Judge read with much solemnty
the oath by which he had bound himself
to do exact justice between men of all
classes, the poor MS well as the rich, and
then continued
Your oath binds you to render YER
dict here without respect to persons, upon
the evidence as it applies to these specific
charges See to it, gentlemen, that when
you return your verdict you discharge
this high obligation"
Fish had hoped for a disagreement at
least, and it was generally expected that
that would be the result. The verdict the
city papers say, gives general satisfaction
in that city, Bail was refused, and Fish
