to its future use, the conclusions OF
the forester are well founded. The
statistics Of the production of miner
ais show that our output of cement
has. more than doubled in the last
I'VE years. and it is well known that
its use is being very widely extend
ed, This is due 10 two conditions:
In the first place, excellent cement

sections of the country; in the second
place, reinforced concrete for heavy
building material is receiving increas-
ed favor among engineers. while in
the country regions large amounts Of
cement are being used for building
blocks for smaller structures. Re-
ports received by the survey during
the six years from 1902 to 1907 show
that the production of cement in the

the federal law and the disposition or
United States judges to enforce the
law impartially.
We have lately heard some cynical
criticism that the rich malefactor is
beyond the law: that the frenzied f.
nancier who loots in hundreds Of thou
sands can never be convicted; that
the banking laws may be transgressed
with IMMUNITY and that the judges are
less severe on the powerful than on
the weak.
This conviction and fifteen-year
sentence is pertinent answer TO
those who would have us believe that
the laws are inadequate and the
Judge sindifferent or lax where the
great are at the bar.
That the national banking laws
should be rigidly enforced is essen
tial to the welfare OF the institutions
which are conducted under their reg,
ulations. wherever there is derelic-
ton of criminality, the offending off
cial should be dealt with according to
his deserts.
This New York case establishes
the timely fact that the laws are
broad enough to reach and the judges
are ready to adequately punish. the
felon of millions as well as the. man
who robs IN the hundreds.
