Is the World Too Young?

If it is the belief. however whimsical,
of DR.. Osler that there would be much
virtue and gain in chloroform for the
man Of 40, it is the belief of DR. Ellie
Metchnikoff that what this world chief
ly suffers from is human immaturity!
In an age which for long enough has
been proclaiming the inestimable value
of the young man, he congratulates
himself that through medical progress
the balance of power may be given to
those whom we now call the old.
And probably we should still continue
to call them old. But we must keep in
really be one of middle life. What is
now mere hattened hilltop would be-
come a understanding plateau At pres
ent it is those still climbing who, from
their egotism and short-sightedness,
most largely give the law; the future
would be for those standing firmly and
with ripened thoughtfulness upon the
,lpper level. Above all, indeed, does this
Russian wonder worker hold to the
thought that longer life will have its
highest value in the restoration of the
old man to his rightful position in the
world He will not only gather wisdom
and experience. but he will be able to
make it felt preponderantly in the gov
ernance of the family and the state.
For what science is now determined to
arrive at is the ''healthfully DID," not
age that is feeble and ailing, and mis-
erably doubtful of itself. but age such
as we may see it in some fine old oak
or elm; having reached its maximum,
it retains it, with scarcely the forer
shadowings of decline for score after

IS KELLY MNfI1NE2

C. c. Coleman, attorney general Of
Kansas, has filed suit in the Shaw
nee county district court against the
Title Guaranty and Trust company Of
Scranton, Pa. In it he charges that
T. T. Kelly wrengfully and unlaw-
fully deposited the states money in
the First National bank. For that
reason he asks the Scranton company.
which was on Kelly's bond. to make
good the loss to the state caused by
the banks failure.
In other words, Attorney General
Coleman in this petition charges 7. T.
Kelly with a crime. The crime is
depositing state money in a bank.
which is expressly forbidden by the
laws.
Why doesn't Mr.. Coleman prose-
cute Kelly for this crime? Is it not
the usual course of procedure, when
a crime has been committed, to bring
the criminal prosecution against the
guilty party first. and let the civil
suits follow?
Attorney General Coleman has
known for nearly two months that
this crime had been committed, and
by it the state is out $4,000. Why
has he not prosecuted Kelly for it?
Why is Kelly immune?
The law which prohibits the state
treasurer from depositing state funds
in any bank-the one which Kelly
violated in this instances section
1868 of the General Statutes of 1901.
1t is as follows:
''Embezzlement-If any state treas
urer shall convert to his own use. or
to the use Of any other person or per-
sons, body corporate, association or
party whatsoever, in any way what
ever, or shall use, by way of invest
ment in any kind of security, stock,
loan, property, land or merchandise
or in any other manner or form what
ever; or shall loan, with or without
interest, to any company, corpora
ton, or individual. any portion of the
public money; OR SHALL DEPOSIT
WITH ANY COMPANY, CORPORA
TION OR INDIVIDUAL. ANY POR-
TION OF THE PUBLIC MONEY, or
any other fund, property, bonds, Sc
curities, assets or effects of any kind,
received or controlled by him for safe
keeping, transfer or disbursement, or
in any other way or manner, or for
any other purpose; or if any person
shall advise, aid, or in any manner
participate in such act, every person
so offending shall be deemed guilty of
an embezzlement of so much of said
moneys or other property as afore-
said as shall be thus converted, used,
| invested, loaned, deposited or paid
out as aforesaid
Again we ask, why does not Mr..
Coleman prosecute Kelly?

THE sTATE,s Position.

1t appears as though the state is in
a peculiar position in the suits which
it has brought against the bondsmen of
State Treasurer Kelly and the First
National bank.
In the suit against the Title Guar
anty and Trust company of Scranton.
Pa, the state alleges that Kelly de-
posted the state funds in the First
National and that it was done contrary
to law. 1t will be necessary to prove
this in order to collect from the
Scranton company and even then the
Scranton company may find some
loophole to creep through.
In the suit against the banks bonds
men it is alleged that the money was
in the bank in the process of collection
and that the bank did not take the
proper precautions to protect it. This
allegation is necessary to collect from
the banks bondsmen, because these
bonds were given only to insure drafts
given the bank for collection and thew
do not insure deposits.
The total of the bonds given by the
bank amounts to only $350,OOO, of
nearly 100000 less than the states
loss. OF this s35O,O0O, $25O,oO0 was
given by the United States Fidelity and
Guaranty company of Baltimore. There
is some dispute as to whether this
bond was in effect at the time of the
failure. The other 100000 bond was
given by c. J. Devlin. w. H. Rossing-
ton, c. E. Noel and VIM. Sims, all of
whom are all more or less involved in
the First National failure, so that
even if Judgment is secured on the
bond, other claims may come in ahead
and shut the state out.
The state is in a very contradictory
position with reference to these bonds.
Its allegations in one case are contrary
to those in the other
If, as the state alleges, in the petition
against the Scranton company. Kelly
had only $4,000 on deposit in the
First National on June 2, which had
increased to $4,000 thirty days later
| it is evident that upwards of 100000
was not in the bank for collection. for

paratively few drafts come into the
state treasury for collection.
