reputation was dfssiDated in day.
When the door of his cell in the Leaven-
worth penitentiary closed on him his
carefully erected structure became ss
dust under the public feet. He has
learned to his everlasting sorrow hat
it does not pay in this country any
longer TO be even a big thief.
The conviction and Imprisonment of
this man should be an eneoura cement
to all believers in individual honesty
and in the majesty of the law. tt
should also be 4 warning to those who
are restrained from criminal acrs only
by fear of prosecution. And fo= this
latter fact the case Of Bigelow VIII lie
most impressive. If the defaulting
banker were released from prison to-
morrow he would probably be an honest
man TO the end of his days
A brief Imprisonment, though, would
not be sufficient in this instance be-
cause the lesson was needed. BigeIow

THE ART OF SILENCE.

| Anti-garrulity, elevated to a high art
/ by the Japanese. was a great factor
! in the late naval battle. We know now
that Togo lay in wait somewhere un-
der the shelter of the Korean coast.
How long he lay there we do not know.
and probably will never know unless
the Japs see fit to tell US. But he was
there That much has been proved.
'Togo's real whereabouts were known
to many Japanese, but the secret was
successfully guarded" a dispatch from
/ Toxic naively informs US
or course his whereabouts were
known to many Japanese, off the ships
as we'll as on them But did the Jap
anese who saw the ships hurry over the
country shouting: I know where
Togo Is; he is at (for instance Masam-
POI Not on your life. They just
chuckled inwardly and noiselessly and
read with much glee the outside guesses
as to Togo's location. As d result the
world in general, and Rojestvensky in
particular, whose business it was to
ascertain if possible the location Of the
90 A'ei'-'s9e meet u 81 = ttlL 10 SuTlQlSe- We
had the fleet located all me way from
NladivostOk to Formosa. and were not
sure that We had played it safe then.
Presently Rojestvensky's feet came
proving along the Korean straits. The
Russian feet had an imperfect battle
formation, which indicated that Ro-
jestvensky did not expect to meet Togo
off Tsushina. says the Toxic dispatch.
We must differ from this. We believe
Rojestvensky expected to meet Togo
almost anywhere. that is to say. he
didn't know where the dickens he
might meet him. The fact that the
Russian feet was in imperfect battle
formation IS not significant It had
probably been in perfect formation and
out again a hundred times in expecta-
ton Of something breaking loose Togo
happened to catch it when il was out.
Could an American fleet. under sim
lar circumstance, remain IN an Amer
lean port without the whole world
knowing it? We imagine not. Anti
garrulity is not a high art among us.
We haven't learned how to serve the
country by keeping our mouths shut.
