Hopkins Sentence.

Galena Gazette: Few readers of The
Gazetta will shed tears over the SEN
tence and fine imposed upon Wallace
H. Hopkins, the mining broker and
promoter who defrauded hundreds Of
people out of thousands of dollars
during the years 1907 and 1908 before
he fled the country. Hopkins belongs
to the class of men who are a blight
upon industry and civilization, men
who obtain through specious promises
funds of innocent investors, only to be
appropriated by the promoter. The
Galena Wisconsin mining district has
suffered seriously in the past from the
exploitation Of paper mining companies
by such men. The testimony on which
Hopkins was convicted showed con
clusively that his sole object was to get
possession of funds to appropriate to his
own use. The penalty imposed is far
too lenient and an example should be
made of all promoters who depart in
any way from the truth and from ways
of honesty in handling funds entrusted
to their care.

morning this week Mr.. G. H. BaShford
received a telegram from a Chicago
undertaken, bearing the sad intelligence
Of the finding of the dead body of his
son, Archie Basford, in a room of the
Hotel Morrison in Chicago. The blow
came like thunderbolt from a clear
sky. The Basfords were anticipating
the arrival home of their son Archie,
who had been out during the theatrical
season as manager Of the Erick Erick
son company, and their two sons who
were attending dental college in Chicago.
Archie was an industrious young man
Of good habits, and for several years
had been on the road as manager of or
assistant manager of a leading theatrical
troupe. He was of a genial disposition,
and his sad ending is all the more la
mentable because of the promise in him
Of a useful life.

He Paid His Board Bill.

Lancaster Herald: A Platteville dep
uty arrived in Lancaster Thursday with
a warrant for the arrest of a young
man charged with leaving an unpaid
board bill behind him on his recent de-
parture from that city. The young
fellow was discovered by the deputy to
be boarding at one of the local hotels.
When he produced the warrants the
man offered no resistance to arrest but
asked for permission to go to an adjoin
ing room and change his clothes. Per
mission was granted and the officer
patiently waited for him outside. In
short time, however, he looked in to
the room and discovered that the bird
had flown. A thorough but unavailing
search was made during the two days
following and the PlatteviIIe official
was finally forced to leave for home
without the man. He was very much
surprised on arriving home to discover
that he had beaten him there, had paid
his board bill and was again in good
standing so far as the hotel keeper was
concerned.

The marvellous growth of the country
demands legislation along grander, freer
lines than anything we have yet CON
ceived. We must make our great cor
porations servants of the people, not
dictators. We must go into irrigation

homes for millions of new people. We
must conserve our forests and our water
ways, reform our court procedure, our
tariff system and our currency. Against
all these things Cannon stands opposed.
