concealed weapons by Special Officer

For what shall it profit man II ne gain

For what shall it profit man if he gain
the whole world and lose his own soul!"
Now, we are not preacher nor the son OF a
nreac acher but we have some well dehned IDEAS
about right and wrong.
Recent events in connection with the life and
affairs of the founder of this colony give US the
opportunitv of sermonizing one of our pet theo-
ries, which is, that ill.gotten gain is disgrace
rather rather than a credit; is wrong that al
wavs merits and often receives the severest
penalties.
Mr., P. H. Fitzgerald we'll known to large
number of our readers as the founder ct TINS
COLONY. and who has number of loyal friends
still among the colonists, has been indicted by
a grand Jury composed of the best citizens OF
his CITY and has plead guilty to this serious
charge.
Mr.. FITZGERALD adopted methods in his col
onv work, that were so far from the line OF hon-
esty and uprightness and square dealing that
manv of the men who did business with him.
long ago lost confidence in, aud respect for him.
And at last when he is old, and tottering on
the brink of the grave with palsied step, he ap'
nroaches bar OF the Court of Justice, and
pleads guilty to charge of fraud.
Mr.. Fitzgerald has doubtless been the envy
of many business man. He has been success
full far beyond the average, as we count success
in this age of commercialism,
To our mind his life isa failure-his exam
ole bad one-for what is he profted? Though
he has gained a large share of this worlds
goods, he stands at the end of his career dis
graced man, looking back on the record with the
consciousness that it is not creditable one.
