BID VERSUS LILLE ROBBERS

The record for swift retribution nneted
to malefactor Of the s1,OOOOOO grade
is claimed for slensland, the derelicl
Chicago banker. Only few hour.
elapsed between his return to Chicago
I'm custody and his Incarceration as
convict No. 1902 In the state prison al
Joliet, thirty-four miles from Chicago
In that brief time all the court proceed
uro In the case was finished, the prison
gates opened and closed, and the
whilom man Of wealth. respected and
honored by all who knew him. was
shorn, arrsyed in prison stripes and
ready for his first lesson in the lock-
step.
But. as measured by the inlexible
standard OF equal and exact justice"
the punishment inflicted for the crimes
of this rerceant banker seems very
much like a travesty of Justice. The
total amount of his robbery of the
banks funds has not yet been made
public 1t Is known, however, that
many OF the banks $1,000 de-
posltors were reduced to pcnury
by the robbery, and that several
have committed suicide or been
driven to insanity by their losses.
And yet the extreme limit of the sem
tences is said to be ten years, together
with a nominal fine AS reported, 1.-The
sentences imposed, which will operate
concurrently, are from one to five and
one to ten years, making the longest
term the prisoner will be compelled to
serve not more than ten years.
What Is the obvious lesson taught to
beginners in crime by the penalty i'm
posed upon this culprit whose robberies
extended over a period of several years,
involving savings of which he was the
trusted custodian? Does not the lesson
teach that 1t is safer to rob OH a colos-
sal scale than to filch a comparatively
trivial sum?
Even in the criminal experience o:
Los Angeles it is not unusual to note
prison sentences of five or ten years for
robberies involving not as many cents
as Stensland's robberies counted in dol
lars. And there is less ground for ex-
cuse in such a crime when committed
by man of high standing in "A COM
munity than there is for man reared
in a criminal environment. According
to soriptural teaching, where little is
given little is required, but where much
is given much is required.
The frequency of bank looting by
trusted officials has become so common
that there are bankers rows of cells
in some state prisons. These rows will
continue to lengthen just so long as
sentences for such crime are as made
quate as the one imposed upon Stems
land.

las a plN EoR EvsRY puRPosE

II takes ffty-eight pins for the sum
mer girl Of 1906 TO make her toilet on
strictly up-to-date lines.
She starts with her corset cover pins.
This bit of lingerie developed from a
strip of embroidery has straps OF ribbon
over the shoulder set off by bows. They
are not sewed to the embroidery, but
attached by four tiny safety pins, hid
den under folds of ribbon, II common
safetles arr used; in full view II gold
pins are employed. Ribbon ties the
corset cover top and lotion, but three
gold or silver safety pins ia stem 1t
where the front buttons used to be.
Next she puts on her shirt waist or
blouse, with Its seni-attached collar.
This collar is fastened taut to the neck
of the blouse In front with two dainty
bar pins, with a fancy brooch i'm be-
tween. At the back two matching her
pins fasten the collar and three gold
wire safety pins close the yoke. From
the bottom Of the yoke to the girdla the
blouse fastens invisibly, presumably
with tiny safety pins, four Of them, un-
der the fly.
Now she is ready to fasten down the
blouse or shirt waist. This was once
done by a snug fitting belt or tape Of
the same material To-day It takes two
enormous safety pins in the front and
through the corset so the blouse can
not possibly slide up. over this she
places her petticoat fastened with a
medium sized safety pin, and with
three more safeties to hold il firmly
to point in the front and sides, while
the vent Is closed with three gold
safety pins.
Next the glrde, held in place at the
back with a bar pin, or perhaps, an
81 n Ala
matching pin to close its ribbon folds
in the front.
Now she adjusts the excuse for a
jacket, known as the summer wrap
This mas cascade or fall of lace ON
either side, fastened down with tiny
brooches. Her washable linen chate-
laine bag she attaches to her girdle
with 81 fancy brooch, and her watch Is
attached amid the laces Of her jacket
by an cnameled pin.
If she wears velvet bows or fancy
knots or even gay buckles on her slip
pers they may be attached to the strap
by stout safety pins. so she can use
them on different shoes.
She gives her hair final touch
fastens up her scolding locks with a
pointleSs safety pin--gold set in pearls
Next comes her hat. Not less than
twelve pearl-headed pins are employed
to ADJUST the swathings of white chiffon
known as a veil, and finally she fastens
the hat down in the back with a huge
safety pin of dull silver and semi-pre-
cious stones, known as the automobile
hatpin. Two ordinary hatpins hold 1t
In the front.
She draws on her long gloves and
pins them to the laces in her elbow
sleeves by fancy pins, and she picks up
her parasol whose handle is finished by
spla shing bow, attached not with
thread and needle, but clasped with
gay brooch or bar to match the color
ings of the ribbon.-New York World.

The devastation at Mobile which fol-
lowed in the wake of the great tropical
storm will excite sympathy throughout
the country. Millions of dollars worth
of property has been destroyed and
many lives lost, not only in Mobile but
in Pensa cola and other gulf coast cities.
Al each recurring autumnal equinox a
hurricane sweeps up the Atlantic coast
from the tropical isles. During many
years past this storm has done little
damage, confining its course to the
seacoast as far north as Norfolk. The
storm of this season. however, DETECTED
westward and struck the gulf coast
full head on, doing great damage to
cities, to cotton crops, to steamers and
other property.

POLITICAL PIRACY

Detailed accounts of the New York
Democratic convention show that the
nomination of Hearst can be fittingly
characterized only as an act of political
piracy. The capture of the nomination
was effected in manner akin to the
exploits of the late Captain Kidd. ex-
cept that the latter's flag was black,
while that of the Buffalo pirates was
the Hearst rag of yellow Journalism.
The complete revelation of the near
employed to secure Hearst's nominal
ton shows even greater infamy than
was at first suspected. 1t seems that
with all the efforts of the ring bosses
In New York and Brooklyn and the
other beneficiaries Of the Hearst bar
rel" the number of delegates required
for Hearst's nomination was not in evil
dence at the counting of noses in Buff
falo, Only 2lO assured Hearst votes
could be mustered. Murphy and Nc
Carren had failed to deliver clear ma
Jority of delegates as per contract. In
spite of the bargain and the "bustedp
barrel the Hearst gang was con-
fronted with defeat.
But scheme worthy Of CAPTAIN
Kidd was quickly concocted. That was
to gain control of the committee on
contested seats, and then unseat
enough anti-Hearst delegates to as
sure victory for the yellow flag. The
outcome OF that plot was seen I'm the
turning down of ninety-five sdelega tes
who would have voted against Hearst
and the seating of like number of
yellow flaggers.
Thus was the bsIgain and sale con-
summated whereby the true Democrats
of New York are disgraced and hurnili-
ated as they never were before. A
nominee has been forced upon their
ticket whom they utterly despise.
From New York to Buffalo. in every
county Of the state, an indignant Dem
ocratc chorus of protest is heard
Hearst is repudiated. the treachery of
the men who accomplished his nomi-
nation Is reprobated and the whole
atmosphere of the state is blue with
anathema.
What will be the response next No.
vember to this forcing of Hearsts
name upon the Democratic ticket by
the method here outlined? For answer
note this extract from New York
dispatch mot single newspaper in
this city supports the Hearst ticket
except those owned and controlled by
Hearst and Murphy" Democratic
newspapers in other parts of the state
are denouncing the Buffalo treachery IN
stinging terms, ana some Of them
boldly declare their purpose to support
the Republican candidate for governor
As for individuals, II is said thai
Democratic delegates returning from
Buffalo openly assert that they will
knife the head OF the ticket; the popu,
lar feeling growing out OF the acts Of
violence, triekery and sordid hypocrisy
In the convention Is very intense"
The yellow flag will be shot from the
Flagstaff by ballots in November anC
the political pirate chief will dangl'
from the yardarm.

Tonight Los Angeles will witness the
opening Of the most vigorous Demo-
cratic campaign in the history Of South
ern California
The fact is recognized, all along the
political line, that the southland will be
the chief battle ground In the present
contest In this stronghold Of the
enemy lies the Democratic opportunity
for victory To grasp that opportunity
and place California in the column of
Democratic states is the determined
purpose Of the party's leaders and of
the rank and file as we'll
The mistake Of 1902 will not be re-
pea ted in 1905. There will be no post
election regret, on the part of Demo-
Gratis, about what might have resulted
il the full measure of Democratic
strength had been mustered at the polls.
Failure to accomplish that result in 1909
turned to defeat what should have been
a victory, placing a Republican instea d
of a Democrat in the gubernatorial
chair.
But tonight the slogan will be
sounded in Los Angeles calling upon
the Democrats of Southern California
to redeem the error Of 1902. The fore
most leaders of the party in
the northland will be here to
tell us that the outlook for VIC
tory is bright in their section and tha t
the election of the Democratic ticket is
certain II the party in the southland
polls its full vote.
Hon. Theodore A. Bell, who deserves
to be called "the young man eloquent. -
as an adaptation of the distinction ac-
corded to John Quincy Adams, will tell
the people of Los Angeles why they
should vote the ticket on which his
name leads.
Hon. James D. Phelan, San Fran
cisco's foremost citizen and a man uni
versally admired by California for his
devotion to the common veal also will
speak to the people of the southland
from the platform tonight.
And other exponents of true Demo-
cratic doctrine. including prominent
local leaders of the party, will aid in
giving an auspicious start to the cam
paign in the southern counties.
The first gun of the campaign in the
southland may not be heard around
the world" but the bang will rever-
brate from San Diego to Siskiyou. e
will mean that the Democratic party,
supported largely by non-Democrat : $
who are loyal to the best interests of
California, means to make a supreme
effort to rid the state of the CALLING
tyranny of Southern Pacific dominance
and Republican machine rule.
