We can very well understand that tho

counties would have 20 comply with a.
The same rules and regulations would be
enforced ia each county Doubtless tho
Prison Commissioners would want 20 hire
out the able bodied convic.s In order to
increase the states revenue. The county
would be left with the incapablos who
would be worthless for any sort Of work
on public improvements. The .county
would have 10 incur an extra expense for
labor 20 do drainage work while the ex-
penses OF enforcing the criminal laws
would not be reduced IN the least
II Is not improbable that greater re-
suits could be obtained from the county

statement that the present system Is Gar
ana away better Tor the county than the
plan recommended by the Governor We
do see some results OF the money spent on
convicts now. but under the Governor =
plan the chances are that about as much
money would be spent without any re-
suits
No doubt the Governors recommenda-
tion Is Justified by the condition q anairs
which exist 10 some ol the countics-many
OF them in fact-but that fact doe nor
Justify interference with counties which

II IS no wonder that the announcement
that note clerk Alyord Of the FRS, Na
u0nal Bank Of New York had robbed tina,
institution Of nearly $4,000 startled the
bankers and hnanclers OF that city. Two
things made Il startling one was that
the stealing had been carried on through
half dozen years or more without ex-
citing suspicion OF anything wrong. and
the other was the amount that was taken.
The thought that presented Itself was
this: II a note clerk could seal from a
bank hundreds OF thousands OF dollars
ana could carry on his populations for
series OF years, what assurance was there
that many Of the other financial instltu-
tons OF the city were not being robbed
by employees or oncers2
And 1t seems strange that the chief OF.
dcers Of the bank did not know that the
note clerk was what Is called high
roller" one New York paper contains the
assertion that there are dozen or moro
bank cashiers in that city who are heavy
tettors on the races Doubtless they ar,

Judging from tho First National Bank
