Three members of the Vermont de,ega-
ton I'm Congress, Senator Proctor Sena-
tor Ross, and Congressman Powers are
heartily in favor of the passage of the
Nc MILAN Lentz bill now before Congress
providing for the adoption of radical
Improvement for the convenience OF those
who are compelled to send or receive con-
siderable sums by mail The amount OF
postage stamps, small coins and paper
money now sent through the mails is
enormous owing to the annoyance attend
ing the securing of a postofiice money or
der, and the Inconvenience resulting from
this custom can be testified to by business
houses as well by newspaper publish
crs everywhere. Stamps are not infre-
quently wasted through their sticking to
paper, while coins are lost to dlscour-
aging degree.
The post check money system now be-
fore Congress offers complete relief from
the present condition. 1t is proposed that
hereafter the government shall PRINT ali
slOO, 81 90 and $500 notes with small blank
spaces on the left hand face in which to
/ write the name OIL Il person " III pay
able TO- the city and State and the sigma
ture OF the recipient. and OF the right
hand face blank space to stick two cent
postage stamp for the government fee, the
stamp to be cancelled in ink by the seild-
crs name or initials and the date. The
money is thus turned into check on the
government and is safe to send in the
mail and is redeemed al any bank or post
office. Thus a person can quickly trans
act small piece OF business in salts
factory and safe way, free from delay OF
annoyance.
There can he no reasonable objection to
the adoption of a simple method of this
character for the transmission of small
sums through the mails, and the conven-
fence to the public that would result
therefrom can hardly be over stimated

Silly sentimentaiism and Crime.

While the public is shocked by the an
nouncement of crimes such as have re-
Gently come to light in connection with
banking institutions in Rutland and Wa
terbury. it is natural that the friends Of
the perpetra tors of these deeds should be
reluctant to have them branded as Grim
inals and should seek to excite sympa-
thy for the offenders. Nor is 1t surprs-
ing that people who have watched these
men grow from boyhood to manhood and
become trusted employees and respected
citizens should be inclined to be charit-
able in dealing with such offenders.
Developments in these as well as other
cases of similar nature have demonst.a-
ted the fact that the communities con-
cerned should beware of the insdious in
fuence of ereminate sentimentalsm
There is manifest tendency on the part
of not few people to make criminals the
victims of hero worship, and to thus
throw a glamour about their persons
which would largely shield them from the
penalty OF their evil deeds.
1t is true in too many cases that the in
large sum is more likely to escape pun
ishment than the man who approprates
an article of clothing or makes success
full invasion of a neighbours poultry house,
The tendency to discriminate in favor of
those whom We are wont to regard err
roneously as the respectable criminals is
demoralizing. There is less excuse for
the trusted but faithess employe who
has been surrounded by all the restrain
ing influences of a Christian community
than for the offending individual born in
squalor and nurtured in vice; and to shield
the one while Furnishing the other is TO
weaken respect for the law and lower the
tone of public morality.
The safety Of the community and the
Welfare of society demand that the man
who week after week and month after
month approprates to his own use the
funds OF an institution entrusted 10 his
care be held strictly accountable for his
crime, and not made the recipient OF mis-
directed charity and maudlin sympathy,
TO make a hero of the embezzler, the abb
sconder, the bank thief, Is TO place n
premium on dishonesty and crime.
