The Buffalo News. trying its hand on the Bigelow matter. says that tne defaulting President had helpl in the absconding cashier, but far more help in the board of directors of the bank. No director stole dollar. but the en- tire board permitted the huge robbery. Neglect of duty on the part of bank directors Is not technically @ crime, but in it's evil effects 1t often is next only to embezzlement itself" Prob ably the distance from Milwaukee to Buffalo is great enough to make it safe for The News to talk so glibly about the directors being bank robbers and the like. Some newspapers find it quite easy to fling epithets when they think there is no danger in the pastime.

Miss Susan B. Anthony, in all the hoariness of her accumulated wisdom, takes occasion to snarl at MT. Cleve- land for his recent magazine article in which he bestowed some rather strenuous raps on Woman's Clubs
 What Is more. she is guilty of the ridiculous absurdity of charging that his magazine articles are written by others and printed under the sanction of his name. Even such a Democrat hater as The Chicago Chronicle finds itself constrained to say that what ever other faults may be attributed to him, no one can possibly accuse MT. Cleveland of a dearth of views-not to say convictions-upon any subject that can be mentioned, nor can any one doubt his ability to set forsI. those views in a literary style which is all the more unmistakable because 1t is neither frivolous nor light nor airy. Any man capable of counterfeiting that style could much more profitably em- ploy his time in producing original lit- erature than in writing magazine arti- cles for the ex-President to sign"
 | Few things could be more absur than to charge or insinuate that MT. Cleveland is not thoroughly able to write a good paper on almost any sub ject. No doubt his article touched Miss Anthony. as well as some others. in a very tender place, and she may not be blamed for resenting it, but she only makes herself ridiculous iwhen she accuses him of want of originality or lack of literary capacity. me

Samuel Gompers. one of the most prominent Labor Union men in the country. replying to the charge that a man who joins a union loses his in- dividuality. replies by saying that "the laborer has been deprived of his in- $ dual liberty the moment he enters ,n nlgoar industrial plant" This Is stsrt. s1asec~ or hair-splitting, as r ,se. tzc Gompers ought to Ssnw. Every an who occupies any yositloa o1 a or or trust. or who Is enrared la an / business or occupation. from Pree.deat down to hod-carrier. loses his Ind ividuality to a certain ex- tent. To compare the position of a man who accepts employment to that of one who puts about his neck the collar of the Union Is not even decent argument.
