ROBBING RICH
THROUGH THE
DE LOOKS"
BOOKS At FABULOUS PRICES
Copies Of R0OSGVGIt'S Works
at $500 For Each
philadelphia Record.)

1t is impossible for us to feel very
deep sympathy for the persons from
whom a set Of purveyors of literature
in fine bindings are said to have sepa-
rated $5,000,000 in the past three years.
So far as we can see, they got what
they paid for, and they should be the
best judges as to the uses to which
their superfiuous wealth should be APP
piled.
Roosevelt's works in % volumes at
$500 per volume would seem extrava-
CANT to most of us, and the trial judge
said that any person who would pay
such & price for such books should
have a guardian. But he may have
supported Mr.. Taft in the recent popu-
larity contest. What if the books did
cost only 500 each; does the judge
suppose that it costs more than so
cents to manufacture the book for
which he pays $50? The dealers have
got to live, haven't they?
If the contents of the books cost two
dollars and the bindings $3.50, the
disparity is not greater than one would
expect in the productions of that gift
ed author, who has often persuaded
large numbers of his countrymen that
TWO dollars worth of fact stated in
$3.50 worth of vehemence was worth
$500 or even more. Is not Roosevelt
the greatest man who ever lived? Do
not Washington and Lincoln and Grant
look like 80 cents apiece in compari-
son with him? Why then carp at the
prices paid for his works?
Roosevelt was not the only genius
whose works were dealt in by persons
who have been indicted for their eff
forts to cultivate taste for fine liter
ature in superfine covers. They had
a set of Shakespeare at $4,000, and
there was set of something else at
$4,000, and the wife of a man who
conquered the Chicago wheat pit ex-
pended, or at least undertook to ex-
pend, some 100000, in these valuable
and ornate works. But money made
by cornering wheat could not be spent
in any better way unless it was ap-
piled to charity. If the. persons who
ordered these editions, de luxe were
incompetent to manage their estates,
what would the trial judge say of the
man who paid $4,000 for Gutenberg
Bible at the Hoe sale? These animal
versions upon bibliophiles are in bad
taste. 1t is no more evidence of in
competence to spend $500 a volume for
Roosevelt than to vote for him.

Ashes But Paper Money Total Loss.

Ames, June 20.-To deliberately burn
up SCI in good honest money Of the
realm was what the boy at the Lynch
restaurant did. 1t was cool morning
and fire was needed was his opinion
before Mrs. Lynch arrived to stay his
hand and prevent the awful confia-
grafton. 1t did not occur to him that
waste basket contained anything
valuable. 1t would not occur to any
body that money would be deposited in
such a receptacle. That was why Mrs
Lynch placed 1t there. She knew that
robbers would look everywhere else be-
fore looking into a common waste
basket for attractive cash.
Since Mrs. Lynch heard Of the muir
der of her friends at Villisca and the
frequent robberies in Ames she has
been worried. She knew that the store
might be entered and the cash drawer
broken into. She knew that If she took
money home with her she might be
held up on the way or thieves might
enter the house and the money stolen.
When she counted the money at the
hour of closing there was SCI In the
drawer. 1t was after banking hours
and the money was there for her to
look after. The waste basket idea
presented itself to her and q deposit
was made.
The paper money burned first but in
the ash pan there were found silver
nuggets and some coin that while
badly disftgured may be objects of re-
demtpion.
But everybody's dom it. A promi
nent merchant when he heard what
Mrs. Lynch had done laughed and said
IL served her right. Just then his own
boy asked If he cared if a fire was
started and he rushed to the stove and
removed all the valuables he had
placed there for safe keeping.
