JOHN AICCALLIE has been sent 10
the penitentiary for term because he
failed TO get pension. He appealed
to Mr.. Raum, and swore that his arm
was shot off while he was in the
army. 1t was proved that he lost his
arm before the war began, and that he
never was in the army. Mr.. McCallie
went about getting his pension in a
manner that shows he was not up to
the business. II he had alleged that
he had lost his arm before the war.
and that if he had not lost it then
he would have joined the army and

esty in public place is more injurious
to morals than when merely private

It is noted with satisfaction that since the

there has been an evident subsistence of

RANCHER PIAGETT'S flight with
$4,000 of his employers money was not
a good business venture. He is the man
whom Banker Sullivan of San Antonio
had put in charge of his sheep ranch
He sold $4,000 worth of Suilivan's
sheep and was in Canada before the
sheep owner knew anything about it.
With him went a handsome woman,
who had decided to sacrifice herself
for him as long as the money lasted.
Sullivan sent 4 detective after him, and
he gave up $500 of the cash to COM
promise. The woman in the case got
5000 more, and the rest OF it went to
lawyers for keeping him out of the
penitentiary. If Mr.. Piagett is ahead
anywhere, he doesn't know it.

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE MORALITY

Bardsley, late city treasurer of
Philadelphia, has got away with
several hundred thousand dollars of
the peoples money. An investigation
shows an astonishing state of financial
and moral looseness in the manage
ment OF the city's fiscal affairs. The
treasurer took the public money when
ever he needed it. He lent it to his
friends, eXacting no security, but tax
ing only due bills that were put in the
cash drawer. One man, a justice Of
the supreme court, has due bills against
him for $4,000. Very little money
will ever be collected on these bills, as
most of them are worthless. 1t is held
by lawyers that Bardsley cannot be
punished nor held liable by the city
for his stealings, as it cannot be proved
that the city had acquired vested
right to the money he stole. The pro-
verbal acuteness OF the philadelphia
lawyer" may keep him out of the peni-
Tertiary and turn him loose on the
world as prosecuted man.
There is no denying that Bardsley
held q position OF trust as custodian
of the public funds of Philadelphia.
There is no denying that through his
corrupt mismanagement these funds
have been dishonesty appropriated,
lpc- - la c+a+o h.
ing confessed, it is hard to see why
Bardsley is not a common thief. But
there is a distinction, the lawyers say,
between this sort of theft and that
theft which consists of taking an
Others horse. This distinction is ex-
pected to save Bardsiey.
y few weeks ago. the ex-treasurer
of Missouri being on trial for embez-
zing $50, coo from that state. which was
proved, the judge charged that the
jury should acquit him if they be-
lieved that at the time he took the
money he intended to..replace it. Under
these instructions the jury refused to
convict him. He took the money, used
it, and the state lost it. These facts
the jury could not get around. But
as it could not be proved that he had not
intended TO replace the money, eight
of them gave him the benefit OF the
doubt and voted to acquit him.
The exposition of the law in this case
and the contention that Philadelphia's
defaulting treasurer will slip out
through the loop-hole of technicality,
will make it very safe thing to plumber
public treasures. Where the law
should be most stringent and exacting
it is loose and worthless. 1t should bind
with thongs of rawhide. but its bonds
are OF rotten thread. Men who win the
public confidence and are put in charge
of public treasures are the trustees of
the whole people. They should be held
TO rigid accountability with a jealous
care that demands accounting for every
dollar that goes through their hands,
and proven dishonesty should meet
certain punishment. In trials upon
charges of dishonest appropriation Of
public moneys. less pity is due the

to consider banking and our new law.
