One great trouble in all this coun-
try is the lax enforcement of the
law Half or two thirds of the
criminals go unpunished by our
courts, because of chcken-hearted-

lawyers and technicalities in the
law. This is the fruitful source Of
mob law, so debauching and dam
gerous. BY all means big improve

cotton futures was not especially graft
fying to either the bull or the bear side.

were governed by buying and selling or
ders as received. The market opened
steady with prices points higher, the
advance being in conformity to an inn
provement in the English market. Not
withstanding the sluggish trade con-
ditions, the undercurrent of sentiment
was easily diagnosed as of very bullish
average. Light receipts, evident
strength abroad, firmness of Southern
spot markets, advancing tendency of
home and foreign cloth markets, bullish
showing of Liverpool weekly statistics
and equally bullish weekly summaries
of American statistics, all served to
intensity the friendly feeling towards
the market.
Selling for short account was almost
totally lacking throughout the session:
the more reliant bulls purchasing small
lines on the assumption that the morn
ing cables would reveal higher prices
on the other side. Liverpool bought on
the opening, but later withdrew. The
market at the close was steady, one

New York, Dec 15.-The strength

Of the engagements of gold for export
by tomorrow's steamers was the feature
of the day. There was cons derable
hesitation and some reaction in the
early dealings on the recurrence of fears
over the effects of gold shipments. Yes
ferday's recovery in stocks, it viii be
remembered, was based on the hopes that
gold exports had been ayerted for the
time being. The fact that apprehen-
sion over this development was still
apparent this morning made the strong
advance in prices III the very face of
the news of the gold exports all the
more striking. The sterling exchange
rate today not only failed to recover, but
declined an additional fraction to 1917
for demand. The shipment of gold at
this level for exchange demonstrates
that some considerable advantage is
offered by the Bank fo England as an
inducement for the shipment 1t is
known, in fact, that the English insti-
tuition allows interest to the shippers
for the period of transit 1t has also
advanced the buying price of gold,
both for American eagles and for bar
gold. For the former the price has been
advanced one penny an ounce in two
days. The transaction may, therefore,
be regarded in a certain sense as a spe-
cial one.
The reported engagement of $1,T50,-
900 in gold for export caused no stiffen-
ing of the local money rate, which ruled
from five to six per cent. all day. The
incidents of the day which served to
offset the gold exports We're several. In

erty excepting when the hiding place is
discovered before the thieves have n
chance to do away with it2
Once let it be understood by profess
sional thieves that no promise of inn
munity made TO them by an officer will
be kept and they will take particular
pains to destroy the most valuable arti-
cles rather than allow them to fall into
the hands of law officers to be used as
evidence against them. The most astute
detective would scarcely ever be able to
uncover n nest or to recover for the
owner. This is why Chief White prop
erly exhibits such Indignation and re-
sentiment at the course pursued in this
instance by that monumental fraud and
demagogue who temporarily occupies
the position of prosecuting attorney. If
the man was actuated by honest mo-
tives instead of spite and political am
bltion to be promoted to the bench he
would have acted like an honorable man
and kept faith with the chief and the
parties who have returned the stolen
property on the pledge that no ques-
tions would be asked.

THE NAMELESS HERO.
DenYer News

Denver News
There are countless heroes who live and
OF whom we have never heard:
For the great, big, brawling world goes by
with hardly a look or word;
An@ 6f one wbo OF the th bravest pr and best of all
Is the man who falls on duty's call
Ihe man who dies at his post.
While his cheek is mantled with manhood's
Al, And the pathway of life looks bright,
He Is brought In a moment to face the
Surrounding the final night.
He buoyantly sails DER a sunlit sea
And Is dashed on an unseen coast
iii the ship goes down at the helm standy
The man who dies at his post.
Who follows the glorious tide of war
a And falls in the midst of fight,
He knows that honor will hover DER
AND cover his name with light;
But he who passes unsung. Unknown.
VINO hears no applauding host,
Goes downs In the dark to his fate aIone
The man who dies at his post
Who bears with disease while death draw.
Who faces his fate each day,
Yet strives to comfort and help and cheer
HIS comrades along the way
Who follows his work while he yet may do,
And smiles while he suffers most
1t seems to me Is a hero true
The man who dies at his post
There are plenty to laud and crown with
The hero who fails in strife
But few who offer word of praise
To the crownless hero of life
He does his duty and makes no claim:
And tonight ! propose toast
To the silent martyr unknown to fame
The man who dies at his post.
