THE BLacKMAIL BUSINESS.

Warmer stole the funds of a rail-
way company Of which he was treas
urer. His explanation and excuse of
his crime is as ancient as Genesis. He
stole because a woman's demands were
beyond his means. He says she black
mailed him. Anyway he gave her some
portion &c his thefts. It is shown
pretty conclusively that $1,000 went
to the woman. She wanted it to edu-
cate her son. But Warmer stole about
six times that sum.
Warmer is a pitiful figure, a con-
fessed thief confessing that his life had
been such that he was susceptible to
blackmail, weak enough to pay it and
crooked enough to steal He will prob
ably be sent to the penitentiary. The
woman will be lucky if she escapes a
prison term. Both appear to deserve
all they are likely to get.
Blackmail is a profitable business for
the blackmailer. Generally it works

tremely uncommon that ttiile . ssiiiiisssI,S
operator is either exposed or punished

Quoted that it Is astonishing that they
were worked at all. The conclusion is
Irresistible that a legion of weak men
who have been wicked or foolish or
both, are paying the price of conceal
ment to harpies who dares not open

1t is a question where blackmail be-
gins and legitimate pressure leaves off.
The debtor arraigned under criminal
charge in order that a creditor may
force collection of a claim which Is not
justly a criminal case might and does
feel that he has been blackmailed when
he settles in order to save reputation;
the courts and the laws have been used
to collect a debt thru a process utterly
at variance with legal intent or proceed

partnership in compromising a felony

has been annoyed and prosecuted by
some lawyer until in self protection it
turns part of its legal business over
to him may not be able to prove black
mail but it feels it.
The innocent man who finds his
enemies on his trail seeking the aid and
concurrence of crooks and prostitutes
in order that they may brighten him
into acQuiescence or quietude as regards
their own acts, political or otherwise
is victim of blackmail and those who
seek thus to influence him are black
mailers.
The newspaper that holds the club of
exposure over any official or individual
in order that it may influence mis- ac-
tons TO its own individual benefit OF
the sordid interests of individuals and
private interests is the meanest black
mailer of all.
Thousands of men are paying crooks
for silence Thousands are purchasing
immunity from quasi blackmailers
Warmer is not alone. Neither is the
woman who blackmailed him.

 Let's see the one with the fluffy feathers. Mercy, mol I mean the one just seems to suit me, doesn't 1t?

Show me that lavender one. Yes, the one that woman has on. It makes her look awfully old. Excuse me- madam: vii you let me take that lavender hat now? You've had it so long. Oh, you've bought 1t? Goodness, didn't she act mad? I wonder if she could have heard what said about her looking old?" @

 Don't take it away, young woman; I'm ordering another. She can't be In any hurry; she didn't act as if she was. She's coming back9 Oh, well, all right, but think you're very wrong to sell a customer an unbecoming hat, and besides I wanted it myself.

REGULATING BUNDLES OF SHIN
 GILES.

In Massachusetts they have discov- cred that even in this day of high priced lumber, when shingles should be shingles, many of the bundles are sim ply frauds. There is before the legis- lature of that state a bill defining a standard bunch of shingles, to be made up of shingles four inches in width and 25 rows by count on either end of the bundle, and requiring that all nonde- script bundles shall have stamped in large Roman numerals the exact num- Der of shingles in them, which Is plain evidence that they are not first class or put up according to law. We think back to a time when specific laws of this kind were not needed for the pro- lection of buyers, because the princl- pies of honesty and honor inculcated and lived up -u by business men were all the protection needed; and this in- cident cannot sbe added to the cumula
 tive evidence that the world is grow ing better all the time. The commer- cial methods of robbery have the old fashioned robbers beaten to a finish.
