AMONG THE MAGAZINES.
Theft Galore

Is making millions at the expense Of
honor profitable occupation, in the
minds of financiers who are now being
tried at the moral bar? To form a vast
combination, knowing it to be so watered
as to be unsafe, and to bargain for your
own gains at the expense OF those who
trust you-what is the name for that?
No number of technical schools founded
by the executor OF such..a deal can clear
his record, any more than mawkish NOR.
alizing and founding colleges can cleanse
the life of a man who has conspired
against the law, with the aid Of bribery,
to crush competitors. 1t is depressing to
have smirch on financiers who have
heretofore seemed faithful to their trusts.
If they were in such dire want of few
millions more, why did they not say so.
and let us help them out, instead OF CIV
ing another blow to our confidence in
them and in human nature? With mil
lionaires willing to be sharpers, in order
| to get more millions; with politicians
stealing from the people, in the city,
state and nation, and habtually using
men, women and children as mere pawns
in private game to capture wealth t;
with yellow papers plunging their read
ers into dirt and danger for business and
circulation-the love OF money NAV fair
y be called d sickness in our country.
Unhappily we cannot call these reeking
instances exceptions. Other departments
in the COVE, nment are only less eaten
with corruption than the postotfice. Lit.
tie cities have their rings, as we'll as big
ones. The more that is learned about
corporate methods the more universal
seems the willingness to trick the public
Corruption, caused by the opportunity
which all have, in this country, for
worldly progress, and by the desire for
fast advancement, is undeniable and
vast. Leaders in business enterprise are
among the least excusable when they
juggle, for they are men who have had
opportunity to acquire understanding
which should forbid dishonest gain.
"These men" said Judge Grosscup,
''bring nothing to humanity but suerffing
and leave nothing to mankind but dis.
grace" To send one of then to Jail
would do more good than the punish
ment OF dozen walking delegates or
gambling kings.-Collers Weekly.

KALB SECURES JUDGMENT
Against the Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany.


Henry Kalb, an Aberdeen logger, Sc
cured judgment by default in superior
court against the Northern Pacific Rail-
way Company in the sum OF $42S.40, last
Monday.
On October 2, 1902, plaintiff owned a
raft Of spruce logs, which was tied up at
Aberdeen. Two cars owned by the rail
way company ran off spur and fell
down into the raft, distance of eourteen
feet, breaking loose the boom sticks and
letting the logs 90 adrift. The raft con-
tanned 81 logs, scaling 81 200 feet, valued
at $42S.4O, for which amount plaintiff
secured judgment, the company failing
to defend the case.
The company's claim agents are behind
in their work on account of the Chehalis
wreck, hence had not looked up the facts
in this case. An attempt will be made
later to set aside judgment and set case
for trial.

WHERE DID THEY GETlT?
Postoffice Inspectors are Curious Re-
uardinu Certain Conner Stocks


sardins Certain Copper Stocks.
Washington, Aug. 11.-Postoffice in
spectors are busy trying to ascertain
definitely If George w. Beavers, former
chief of the salary and allowance d.
vision, has any stock in the Yaqui Cop
per Company, and If so. how he ac-
quired it. They are also interested in
knowing how other postoffice officials
acquired stock in this company, it be-
ing understood that one or more. in ad-
dition to Mr.. Beavers, have such stock.
The reason for this solicitude on the
part of the inspectors is the fact that
the Yaqui Copper Company was formed
largely thru the efforts of George e..
Green. of Binghamton, N. Y, and its
organization was perfected about the
time that the Bundy Manufacturing
Company, of Binghamton. secured the
four years contract to supply the post
office department with time clocks. Mr..
Green is reported to be a heavy stock
holder in both companies. AS these
clocks sold on the market for from $50
to SIS and under the contract the post
office was to pay 500 and SIS for them.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow would like to know if there is
any connection between the holding of
stock by certain postoffice officials in
the Yaqui Copper Company and the
awarding of the contracts to the Bundy
Company.
