a RULE HONORED IN THE
BREAKING.

To the common sense and public
spirit of the bankers OF New York is
due the revelation that Police Lieuten-
ant Becker came into possession of
nearly 100000 in cash during the time
he was at the head OF the strong
arm squad. This information is ex
ceedingly valuable as supporting the
statements OF gamblers that he levied
tribute on them and caused the muir
der of one OF their number who threat
ened % "sQueal."
The relations between bankers and
their depositors are considered conf
dental. II is one OF the unwritten
and strongest laws OF the banking
business. The necessity for this is ap-
parent and seldom indeed is 1t broken.
But this instance was an exceptional
one. The greatest weakness OF the
case against Becker is the disreputa-
bic character OF the men who must be
relied upon for testimony. The bank.
Crs knew they had for Becker more

When inspector Richard McSorley

McSorley and Henry in a high power

an affectionate parting took place be-
tween them.
Peterson was not impressed with
Henry's assertions that he was a mem
Der of the English gentry, although he
showed that he was a man of culture
and education. Peterson sent photo,
graph of Henry's finger prints, his
Bertillion measurements and other data

tifcation was made from the finger

children in destitute circumstances. A

ROOSEVELT AND THE BOSSES.


In one of his characteristic flights Of
fancy. Roosevelt pictures Governor
Wilson and President Taft as candi-
dates OF the same type. He charges
that Governor Wilson is boss-dominat-
ed. Just as is President Taft. In an
address at Providence, h. l., Friday,
he declared:
THE success OF the democratic ma
tional ticket means enthroning in pow
er one set Of bosses; the success OF
the republican national ticket means
enthroning in power the other set of
bosses. The effort at this time TO re
buke one set Of bosses by voting for
the candidate Of the other set of boss
es is from its very nature bound to
result in mere futility."
Let Roosevelt give some proof that
Wilson is a boss-dominated candidate
He knows he does not tell the truth
when he makes that charge. He knows
that his charge is a deliberate false
hood.
How convincingly deserving of clas-
sitication as bunk" is this Roosevelt
talk about other candidates being con-
trolled by bosses. while Perkins. Nor
gan, Finn and some other well known
bosses are footing the bull moose cam.
paign bills, and parading Roosevelt as
the hand-organ proprietor does a mon.
key.
Roosevelt's charges will convince
thinking men only of Roosevelt's ma.
liciousness.

Isn't life worth living any more?
In every days newspaper, now, one
finds surplus Of paragraphs from one
TO three inches long, telling about
some woman who has swallowed car
bolic acid, or shot herself, or jumped
into a river, or run of, or in some fash
ion made away with herself.
There are notices Of men suicides,
also, but not so many. The men, it
seems, prefer to shoot up their fami-
lies or fill their sweethearts with bull
lets.
Once upon a time a suicide occu-
pied some space in the newspapers,
but it's getting to be such habit
these days that the editors Chop EN-
down" to fill the smallest possible
space individually, because there are
so many 10 record.
And what are the reasons given in
the cases of the women who find life
not worth the living any more?
It's a love affair, usually, or family
disagreements. If 1t isn't a sick
heart, it's a sick body, which nearly
always leads to a sick brain. And
sometimes it's lack of pretty clothes
and good times.
Many young wives are included in
the suicide list. There is a quarrel
the husband leaves the house angry
the wife keeps thinking it over until
she has it fixed in her mind that
matters are irremediable.

paratively short time and that his
salary was about $4,000 a year
After consulting together they found
they were agreed that to withhold this
information from the district attorney,
who was trying TO fix the guilt for the
murder OF gambler Rosenthal and ex-
pose the corruption long believed 10
have existed in the police department,
would tend to defeat the ends of jus
tice, and morally, at least, place them
in the position of protecting crime. II
Becker came by the money honestly
they knew It would be easy for him
TO prove that. II he could not produce
such proof. the assumption that he OBJ
tanned it from gamblers and the wom-
en- Of the "tenderloin," as charged,
was fair one.
The bankers rightly acted on the
principle that they were citizens first
and business men afterward. They
have performed a service that some
OF them may fear will hurt their bust
ness, but which the public will not for
get And the bank depositors Of the
country can rest assured that the rule
they broke will never be lightly set
aside anywhere. The cause must be
imperative for the public good, as il
was in the case OF Becker's concealed
hoard.

she is sorry the moment she has done
it. The fright brings her to her senses.
And if some wise person could only
patent method by which such
woman could think she had COM
mitted suicide, and go through all
the agonies without achieving the
result, she would be a beneficiary Of
society.
The would-be suicide, as a rule,
thinks too much about herself. She
is a great self-pitier. She suffers in
tensely, it is true. But in most cases
she could cure her suffering, or at
least minimize ii, by taking more
thought of others sorrows, and by
filling her time with work that re-
CURED concentration Of mind and
body.
The busy woman who guards her
/ health seldom contemplates suicide.
/ She shuns an attack of the blues"
as she would any other disease.
When she feels a wave of selfpity
rolling up, she runs away from it be-
fore it can engulf her. She looks at
the whole big tumbling world with
grin, and even though sorrow grips
her-real sorrow, mind you, not the
fancied kind-she stands up to it like
a true woman, remembering that she
is not the first to suffer, nor will she
be the last, and that she has no right
TO put more sorrow into the world
by her complaints of melancholy.
None of us wish for sorrow. But
it Is a truth that those who have
known no heavy hours are not the
ones we love best; nor those who love
us most, nor those in whose sympa-
thy we find great comfort.
The sweetest smiles, the heartiest
laughs, the finest understanding of
our joys as we'll as our woes, come
from those who have been through
the Valley of the Shadow-they know
how to appreciate the best of life in
contrast to what they have borne OF
its crosses.

THE WISCONSIN PROGRESsIVES

when they really believe another.
In the coming campaign the fight
is one of principle. Principles are real.
Parties which clash with principle are
unreal. The fight is not between this
party and that party; it is between tor
les and progressives regardless of
party. Among the presidential candi-
dates there is only one man who has
shown by deed as we'll as by word that
he is a thorough-going progressive,
with ability to do things. That man
is Woodrow Wilson. He deserves the
support of every voter, republican,
democrat or independent, who believes
sires the general welfare.

If the progressive republicans OF
Wisconsin are TO maintain the integ-
rity and efficiency Of their movement
they will not only continue to follow
Senator La Toilette in utter disregard
of any false god, but they will vote,
as the senator has frequently voted,
for principle irrespective OF artificial
party lines.
The hope of the progressive repub-
lican lies in the staunch, uncOmpro-
missing leadership of men like Senator
La Toilette, of men who for the mere
sake of gaining office will neither
change principles as they would suit
OF clothes, nor will profess one thing
