Things Revealed by
Petition.

Tense consisted in living with hel
after he became aware of the facts o.
the case. Judge Dole asked Attorney
/ Kingsbury, who appeared for defend
| ant. what he thought the courts duty
| was in view of the policy referred
| to, of leaving prosecutions under the
| Edmunds law to officers of the local
| laws Mr.. Kingsbury thought that the
| proper course would be to impose a
| punishment as low as the Territorial
| laws allow, namely thirty days. He
said that while believing Reverb to be
technically guilty, he did not consider
him guilty under the spirit of the act.
District Attorney Breckons said that
it was the policy of the Federal gov
eminent everywhere to protect the sa-
credness of the marriage relation. He
agreed with Mr.. Kingsbury's views as
to sentence. Judge Dole imposed a
sentence of thirty days on the reef.
S. B. kingsbury, attorney for Reverb,
who pleaded guilty to a. charge of vio-
Iating the EdmundS act in Judge
Dole's court yesterday morning, voiced
remarkable opinion in connection
with the act. He declared the law to
be political one, aimed at the polyg-
amists of Utah and Idaho and not in
tended for ordinary violations of Ter
ritorial Or State laws. THE law is
political one, passed to break up the
power of the Mormon church and to
prevent polygamy in Utah and Idaho;
il is not the policy of the Federal gov
ernment to clean up IN a general way
the lewdness of Honolulu or any other
city" said Kingsbury.
1T is not the duty of this court, nor
of the District Attorney, to clean up
lewdness in this community. There is
no city in Utah or Idaho-or anywhere
elsewhere there is not the social evil,
and there never has been a city the
size of this without it. Such offenses
are left to the local governments. 1
am familiar with the practice in Utah
and Idaho. which are the states for
which the law was pasSed. and I have
never known of a prosecution for Of
lenses Of this kind in the Federal
courts there. The enforcement of this
law is confined to the class of polyg-
amy cases for which it was passed-to
destroy polygamy. The defendant here
is technically guilty within the word
ing of the law. but he is not guilty
under its spirit or intent as explained
by the courts

THE TRUTH ALWAYS,

When you are In doubt tell
the truth" It was an expert

may pass in some things, but
not in business. Fraud and de-
eeption are often profitable so
long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; then
comes the smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest
way is to tell the truth all the
time. Thus you make friends
that stick by you, and a reputa-
ton that is always worth TWEEN
ty shillings to the pound every
where your goods are offered for
sale. We are able modestly to
affirm, that it is on this basis
that the worldwide popularity of
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
rests. The people have discov-
cred that this medicine is exact
~ what it is said to be, and
that it does what we have al
ways declared it will do. It's ma
ture also has been frankly made
known. It is palatable as honey
and contains all the nutritive and
curative properties of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, extracted by Us from
fresh cod livers, combined with
the Compound Syrup of Hypo-

bination of supreme excellence
and medicinal merit. Nothing

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. "a
Some wise chap said: Make a
person happy now, and you make
him happy % years from now with
the memory of it,
If that be true the Boys Busy
Life club of Milwaukee is storing
up a lot of cumulative happiness.
While the club. with all its mani
fold activities, its manual training,
its gymnastics, its story telling
hours and entertainments each
winter, makes a home spot for doZ-
ems and dozens of boys who but
for it would be turned out on the
streets or left to seek saloon or
gambling hall for shelter, its sum-
mer camp is perhaps its most pop
ular drawing card.
The boys go in relays-20 to 80
at a time, and remain for two
weeks. In cases where there has
been i'll health or home influences
are bad, a boy is allowed to re-
main for the entire season.
The camp grounds are on the
shore of Beaver lake, an hours
ride from the city.
The camp equipment comprises
three large sleeping tents, an Of
ficer's tent, cooks tent, provision
tent and a large round tent where
the boys gather to play games and
read on rainy days.
The tents are pitched in the form
of a horseshoe within the confines
Of which is the long dining table,
while nearby is the stone bordered
campfire around which the boys
gather nightly, singing songs to
the accompaniment of guitar or
banjo, telling stories and playing
games.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Do
bank examiners examine? Is there
examination worth anything? Is
the public protected against loss
by their work?
Such questions as these are in
evitably suggested to the average
man by disclosures like those in
progress in Chicago, in connection
with the failure of the Milwaukee,
av. bank, although that was a
state bank and was examined by
state agents.
No bank inspection will protect
the public against downright dis
honesty on the part of the banks
officers, This may be taken as the
official and final statement of the
controllers office. Banking always
has been and always will be a bus
mess in which the head of the
bank must be trusted and trust
worthy.

MAKES HIS BED
ON CITY HALL /
BOILER

Above the usual noises of his
engine room Janitor Vedder of the
| city hall heard snores and grunts.
These were strange noises for
| boilers to make. Vedder was
| scared. He eased his way to the
| door, then dashed upstairs into the
| police STATEN all out of breath and
calculated: "H-hi there! Come
down stairs quick. Something's
| the matter"
Now the average policeman may
face even newsboy and never bat
an eye, but to go into an engine
room out of which the man sup
posed to know all about machinery
has dashed with hair on end and
shaking, tried their nerves. But
they went finally, all together.
1t needed no Sherlock Holmes
deductions to prove that a human
being was about the place and
making those long shores. Still
1t. But when loud voice exclaim-
ed "Yee-ow-oof!" they knew it was
human for they themselves may
have been rudely awakened from
a snooze fernist a telephone pole
and made that same sort of noise
on coming out of it.
The next question was to find
that man who seemed to inhabit
the boiler. Every hole large
enough to admit a mans body was
poked into. Still no man. Finally
shaggy head. eyes and face be-
smudged with coal dust and dirt
peered out from on top of one of
the boilers and the owner ex-
claimed, Washer mat-hic-er?"

And he couldn't. The combined

He was taken to the station up
stairs and washed up, but he had
hard time trying to recollect who
he was. On being searched he
was found to be Jack Frost, har-

S22 in his pockets. Last night he

IT has been shown repeatedly
that collision between two offic-
ials in a bank (or sometimes mere
ly the dishonesty of one Officially
will deceive the best bank exam
liner in the employ of the govern
ment.
A good illustration of this fact
took place in the failure Of bank
not long ago at Redbank, n. ]. One
of the best examiners on the con-
trollers force was sent to look in
to the affairs of the institution. He
spent several days going over the
securities and books. and reported
that the bank was perfectly sound
and that he would recommend that
it go on.
At this moment the cashier of
the bank came in.
You are entirely mistaken, gen.
tlemen," said the cashier. This
bank is busted"
The examiner and directors look
ed at the man in amazement.
at is very simple" said he. "If
you will wait a minute l will 90
into the cellar and get some pa.
pers."
Presently the cashier returned
with some loose sheets which had
been removed from the ledger
They contained the record of de
posits. Most of them were OF
money which had been put in fol
saving, and to draw interest. bu
1t was one Of the banks liabilities
and it put a very different face on
the matter.
Until the dishonest bookkeeping
was discovered the affairs of the
bank appeared all right. There
was no way in which the examiner
could tell that loose pages hac
been taken from the ledger-un
less indeed he were gifted with
some Sherlock Holmes instinct be
yond the ordinary equipment o.
the accountant.
In other words, the national OF
the state bank examiner is not
Sherlock Holmes In most case
he judges a banks condition b,
surface conditions. Only whel
rumors of something wrong hav
come to him does he try to inser
the probe below the surface. And
even then, he has small chance O
outwitting the sharp and crooke,
bank officials who are on tn
ground, and who have had ever
chance 10 oever their tracks.

HOW EASY II IS FOR CROOKED MEN
TO FOOL FEDERAL BANK EXAMINERS

I How little chance there is for
bank examiner to do detective
work.
There are literally hundreds of
banks which are kept from failure
by the supervision and wise re-
straint of the controller" said an
official of that department to your
correspondent. "Of these cases the
public never hears. That is neces-
sary. When a bank fails it be-
comes public, but when the Off
GERS are told to call in some loans
or to replace bad paper with good
securities, the public does not
know about it. All the public
knows is that the bank goes on
doing business and does not fail.
There are hundreds of other cases
too, where directors are warned
that they are leaving the business
too much to the bank officers"
But the national bank inspection
is admitted by the government Of
ficials to be less affective than it
should be. 1t has one great weak
ness, namely the fee system. Con
troller Ridgely says of this:
There are rs national bank eX-
aminers to examine 1866 national
banks. Last year these examiners
made a total of 11,716 examina-
tons. Anybody will see from the
figures that an examiner does not
linger long over any one bank.
What the examiner does is to
look over the securities, check up
the amount of loans and discounts
see what proportion they bear to
the capital and assets, and gener-
ally to make sure that the books
of the bank do not show anything
contrary to the national banking
act. The examination is, in fact,
more a check on the officers way
Of doing business than a precau-
ton against actual dishonesty.
1t will be seen when it is remem-
bered that national banks are not
supposed to be examined oftener
than twice a year. And then all
that is necessary, in most cases, is
that the records appear all right.
Among the assets may appear GER
tain notes which are forgeries; but
the bank examiner does not take
each signature to the person sup
posed to have signed it and ask
if it is in fact his signature. Meth
er does he pry into the cellar to
see if there is a secret set of
books being kept. He does not
have time.
THE weakest feature of the pres
ent system of examinations is that
the examiners are paid by fees in.
stead OF salaries. | believe every
controller of the currency in re.
cent years has recommended a
change in this system. The exam.
liners on the whole are a good BODY

attentive TO duty. But unfortunate

vidual.
The government can and should
by all means improve the service
by paying, examiners by the day
and greatly increasing their num-
Der, so that a man should have the
time and take time to go into mat
tiers as thoroughly as is necessary
to get at the real condition of the
bank. The men ought to be paid
good salaries; large enough to at
tract and hold good men. 1t is one
of the difficulties of the present
service that it is hard to keep good
men"
