BANK wRECKERs AND OTHERS.

8ANA ~NGECAEI6o AND OIdEIS@o.
LFrom the Chicago Record Herald
J. E. MARCEL was a Kansas bank
cashier. He forged papers to the
amount of $780, 900. thereby wrecking
his institution. Being found guilty.
he has been sentenced to thirty-five
years imprisonment He must serve
eighteen years of that time before he
can even be released on parole Al
ready he has put on tho convict
stripes and begun to learn the tailor
ing trade as apprentice under an i'm
prisoned outlaw and bank robber,
Emmett Dalton.
Probably it was the belief on the
part of the court that MARCEL ha !,
concealed the greater part Of his
steaI:ngs, hoping to profit by them
after his sentence expired, that led to
the infection of the very severe pun
ishment. Nevertheless. it is clear that
there was no inclination whatever to
view his offense with any sentimental
leniency. His victims We're in final
analysis the depositors of the bank
he wrecked, and it was easy to see
that he had done more harm to more
people than could possibly have been
done by the robber with whom he
must henceforth silently associate
There has been a great development
of public opinion in the last genera
ton toward the sterner punishment
of crimes of this kind. Nevertheless,
there is plenty of room for a still fur
Their development. The offense of the
promoter of a watered trust that col
lapses and thereby ruins the small
stockholders, while the promoter is
able to get safely away with his
profits, is closely akin to that of the
bank wrecker. In one case the in
noeent depositor suffers, in the other
theinnOcent shareholder. In the course
of time our criminal laws will take
cognizance of this fact. If such a de-
velopment of law had come earlier
the sharpers who operated in Wall
street during the merry days of trust
fiotation that eliminated in 1892
would have had shorter shrift and
fewer victims.

NOT ENOUGH FEET.
Engineer NIcCabe Says Majority of
Lot Owners Don't Oppose Sewer.

After assuming that all the people
who signed the remembrance against
the Sixth ward sewer had the right as
resident property owners to sign, City
Engineer McCabe finds that the docu-
met still lack 687,764 square feet of
having majority of all the square feet
of land in the district owned by resi-
dents.
City Engineer McCabe's report. which
viii be presented to the sewer COM
mittee before council meeting tonight
makes the followig showing:
Total number of square feet in
the district owned by resident
property owners ..-...--.-..-..4,4 66, S42
Necessary to constitute major
fty ..--.--......- .......--...-.-2 .233, 422
Total on the remonstrance. ..-.1, $40 657
Lacking to constitute majority. 687, 764
/ AS an absolute prohibition to the
construction of the sewer, tie remon-
STRANGE is therefore a failure. Had
there been a majority of the square
feet of land in the district represented
on the remonStrance, the proposition
would have been killed without any
further ceremony. Since a majority
was not secured. it rests with the city
council to decide whether the sewer
shall be built or not
Some think that the moral effect of
a remonstrance signed by 1913 property
owners will be sufficient to cause the
defeat of the sewer, especially since one
of the Sixth ward cOuncilmen. Col.
Hughes. is fighting the proposition
City Engineer McCabe said today:
'I don tdoubt that the report, if it
had been conner carefully compiled,
would have shown still greater lack
of names for the remonstrance. We
saw that there was going to be a big
majority against the remonstrance,
and so we simply assumed that every
name on the remonstrance was all
right. AS a matter of fact believe it
is likely that one-half of those names
could have been stricken from the re-
monstrance on technical grounds. In
some instances. the man of the house
has signed and the property stands in
his wife's name. In others the wife
has signed. while it is the husband
who owns the land. Some do not own

The fund started by T he Clio e
for the benefit of the House of the
Good Shepherd received another adj
dition yesterday in the, shape of a do

OF $40. Monday the fund will take a
decided upward jump, for that is the

The ST. Paul and. Milwaukee teams

1T is expected that the patronage will
be very large aside from those who will
be drawn from charity's sake.
Even with as much as could be rea-
sonably expected, from an entertain

be sufficient and more will have to

The pressing needs of the House of

argue strongly for assistance which is

REPORTS THE TRUTH
WiIlmar Editor startIes Repub.
llcan Central Committee

In the glowing reports of the proceed
1ngs of the Republican state central COM
mittee, held Thursday, the men who speak
by authority for the committee neglected
to make any mention of the remarks of
Alton Crosby the Willmar editor, a mem
Der of the committee from the Seventh
congressional district.
Crosby had not been told what was ex-
pected of him, and when his district was
reached and report of the conditions
asked for he told the truth as he had
found it. He detailed the disaffection ex-
listing in Kandiyohi and the neighboring
counties, and said that not more than SO
per cent of the normal Republican vote
would be cast for r. C. Dunn. The other
half of the total vote would either refrain
from voting for governor or it would vote
squarely against the Princeton man, he
+ said - sr5z%
Crosby's revelations were no surprise
to the other members of the committee,
many of whom knew perfectly well that
similar conditions prevail in their own
home districts, but they did not have the
temerity to speak out in meeting and tell
the truth of the disaffection as he had
done.
The disclosures made by the Willmar
editor before the committee were admit
tedly true, but were said by his fellow
committeeman, upon the adjournment of
the committee, to be in very poor form.
1t was no place to throw bricks or tell
the truth

feeding for the man who depends on
his brain for a living.

gentleman, II was heavy coffee
drinker. / knew it was injuring me-
1t directly affected my stomach and /
was threatened with chronic dyspepsia
1t was then that my wife persuaded me
to try Postum Food Coffee. The good
results were so marked that cannot
say too much for it. When first pre-
pared did not fancy it, but inquiry
developed the fact that cook had not
boiled 1t long enough. so next time I
had it properly made and was charmed
with it. Since that time coffee has had
no place on my table save for guests
Both myself and wife are fond of this
new cup which cheers but does not
inebriate' in much truer and filter
sense than coffee. My stomach has re-
sumed its normal functions and I am
now well and strong again mentally
