THE CHICAGO BANK STEAL.

THE CHICAGO BANk STEAL.
The looting of the Milwaukee Ave

cials of that institution. Is one of the
most dastardly crimes perpetratedln
recent years. The story OF the i'm
mense steal. leaving in its wake sui
eide. sudden death. poyety AMI de-
spair. PLANNED and eNecutedunder the
eyes of incompetent or dishonest OF
ficials. IL enough to make the blood
of honest men boil Tie spectacle OF
some 10000 families being pauper-
lied and robbed OF theresult OF years
OF hard toll j. enough to move these
poor victims 10 murder and arson.
The strange part OF it all is that the
stealing has been carried ON ON this
gigantic scale, and for long time
without detection That the dircc-
tors were criininally negligent. if in
deed they were not parties To the
steal. there can be- no doubt. This
is clearly shown by the answered. one
OF the directors. Frank Crane, to
questions propounded to him 10y As
sistant State Attorney Olsen. and il
a pretty fair sample. We have no
doubt. OF the manner in which the Iii
rectOrs attended to their important
duties.
Is there any wonder. under that
kind of management, the rascals
got in their Infamous work 50 effect
ually and that the Chief offender skip
ped the country before the steal was
discovered? In the matter of gigan-
tie and wholesale steals. this country
presents "A sorry spectacle. Before
we recover from the shock Of one big

fronted by another Thequestion is.
how are We going to put a stop toit?
There il IA just and adequate punish
ment prescribed for almost every
conceivable offence. and usually Of
tenders are punished when they are
apprehended, and yet the violations
go on Maniiestly the remedy lies in
devising means of prevention, and
to that end the efforts OF law abiding
people should be directed. The old
adage, can ounce of prevention is
worth a pound OF cure, is as true OF
"a diseased condition OF the body pO-
little as it is OF thehuman body. The
devising OF preventive means is the
