Allen, of Boston, carries with him the
consciousness of having stolen $4,000
and the knowledge. which might fill
some men with dread but which does
not seem TO worry him, that the police
of many cities want him. 1t is esti-
mated that Allen has with him $4,000
in ready money.
Allen is no ordinary criminal. He is
college bred and most of his life has
been spent in legal atmosphere. For
over % years ne was clerk of the East
Boston District Court and the methods
of law breakers are familiar to him.
He has witnessed the operations of all
classes of criminals. from the very
stupid TO the crafty and competent. lie
often expressed himself as holding In
contempt the mental qualities of the
average thief Perhaps while he was
speaking his mind was turning in the
direction of theft. The ease with which
he deceived the auditors of his ac-
counts as treasurer of the Methodist
Preachers Aid Society. shows how
thorough was his equipment for the
criminal career. OF course his high
standing in the Methodist Church and
i'm official circles placed him beyond
the pale of suspicion. But figures have
way of telling the cold, brutal truth;
and that Allen succeeded so long in
manipulating his accounts proves him
TO nave been Il man Of no ordinary
cunning. With the exception of one
reliable clue the only things known
about his flights are the things he
chose to make known. and those
amount TO absolutely nothing from the
standpoint OF the police.
The first intimaton given the world
that he was the thief of $4,000 came
from himself. This startling piece OF
intelligence was received early in Au-
gust by his pastor. Rev. George III.
Spencer, pastor of the Saratoga Street
Methodist Church of East Boston.
The letter bore che Montreal post
mark. 1t had been delayed several
DAYS in delivery from the time it had
first been received at the Boston post,
office. owing TO the fact that it had
been twice forwarded TO Mr.. Spencer
before it reached him.

A.stranGe Republican Doctrine.

A Strange Republican Doctrine.
The plutocratic press are especially
enamored of what Governor Durbin
of Indiana said the other day, that
THE man who violently assails. by
word or deed, the laws of the country
such as ours commits crime not only
of infamy but of insanity"
AS Governor Durbin has refused to
honor the requisition of the State of
Kentucky for one of the alleged muir
derers of Goebel when the law and
the constitution requires the perpetra-
tors of such crimes to be delivered up
TO justice, because Powers, who has
been indicted for the said crime in
Kentucky, happens to be leading Re
publican politician of that State, is
hardly a fit man to read lectures on
what is right or wrong. TO violently
assail law that is robbing the people
of the United States, such as the Ding
ley tariff law, is crime to the trust
magnates who profit by it, To de-
nounce the laws in several States, that
tax the small home and the little per-
sonal property of the poor man., on its
full value, and let the corporations and
the millionaires off with paying only
20 or 30 per cent is insanity according
to Hanna and the Republican leaders
in Ohio To all such the law of their
own making is too sacred TO be tam
pered with, and Governor Durbin only
echoes the cry of the trusts and cor
porations, who in most cases have paid
for the unrighteous laws they hold so
sacred.
1t is a strange doctrine that the Re
publican leaders are preaching in these
days, that to denounce a law is a
crime. How are bad laws to be repeal
ed unless they are violently assailedf
How is the iniquitous and unjust tar
if law to be reformed or repealed UNI
less its robbery of the poor man and
its aid to the trusts and the plutOcratS
are exposed? All laws that created
monopoly and unjust taxation, or that
donate to corporations, are as the apple
of theft eye to such Republicans as
Durbin and to attempt to repeal such
is to them "a crime not only of infamy
but of insanity"
But when the shoe pinches their own
foot and the law is in their way, these
plutocrats not only assail it but disre-
gard it. and have even purchased per
jurers and hired repeaters TO commit
the greatest crime against the Ameri-
can commonwealth by stealing Presi.

lures and defeating the viii of the

that might "injure the party" Mr..
Payne had knowledge Of the poStoffice
frauds long before they become public,
and took no steps to even investigate
the doings in his Office. President
Roosevelt must also have had this
prior knowledge, for all such matters
are talked over at cabinet meetings.
And now comes Secretary Hitchcock
and declares that he has known Of the
land frauds for several months. but
he iustifies himself by also saying that
he has been investigating them quietly.
There is no doubt that the matter was
kept so quiet that it would never have
