General comment on the Large
verdict seems to agree that the yer-
dict of the jury which found Mr..
Large mot guilty" of crime was the
reasonable verdict to bring in.
1t is true that some. perhaps many.
who lost money in the institution had
a strong desire of seeing Mr.. Large
sent to the penitentiary. but of course
people who lose money by the clos
ing of a bank can rarely look at n
matter OF this kind imparfiaily. How
ever. many who lost money in the
institution did not share this view
The evidence plainly showed that
there was a great loss in the bank.
1t perhaps showed that Mr.. Large
was not a good banker.
But no evidence was brought out
that even indicated that Mr.. Large
profted in the least by the failure of
the bank.
On the other hand. the evidence did
show that Mr.. Large had made many
personal sacrifices to make losses in
the bank good. He had often charged
off his salary instead Of taking II
out. and had put in many thousands
of dollars Of his own money to cover
losses.
When the bank closed Mr.. Large's
mother-in-iaw had over $4,000 in the
bank. which could have been easily
taken out IL Mr.. Large had wanted
to save himself or his family. As
soon ms the bank closed Mr.. Large
mortgaged his home and other prop
erty to protect depositors Is far as
possible.
The bank lost money because the
men to whom II had loaned money
failed in business and could not pay.

SECURED 4 BIG
CONTRACT IN SALIDA

]. A. Heckart & Son returned TO
Canon City on an early train this
morning from Salida. where they
were on Tuesday awarded a contract
by DR.. Cochems for the building of a
SIS. 900 addition to the Red Cross hos
pital.
The contract is one of the larger,
of its kind that has been given In
saiida for some time and Heckart &
Son are to be congratulated on secur-
ing it. They erected DIR. cochems' res
iaence last year and the very salts

that time is believed to have teea IN
asentiai in procuring the hospital
ssntract for them.
They will leave for salida on Mon

THE LARGE VERDICT

It also lost big sum OF money IN
the depreciation OF the value of the
bank building which the bank built for
the benefit of the institution and the
town-and for the building OF which
IL was loudly applauded by the press
and the depositors at the time.
Whatever the condition OF the bank
may have been when it was closed
last March. II was certainly no worse
than II was six years before and the
business had been continued all these
years under the watchful care and
full consent OF the banking depart
ment OF Colorado.
II the banking department OF Colo
RADIO thinks that Mr.. Large shouit
have been convicted OF a crime. then
the banking department OF Colorado
has surely been derelIct In its du-
ties for many years. And to It may be
charged the losses of those who have
put money In the bank In recent
years. for most OF the bad papers this
department objected to was on the
books six years ago and was as well
known to the department then as on
the day the bank was closed.
II Mr.. Large should have been con-
victed on the technical charge that
the bank was insolvent the day II
closed. then the officers OF every
bank which closes its doors should
be sent TO the penitentiary.
These remarks are made out Of the
spirit OF fairness to Mr.. Large and
the jury. Few men in this town and
no men about this office know Mr..
Large even by sight-at least knew
him by sibht before this trial began.
We believe We can take . fair and
impartial view of the question

that the railroads get square deal
for this is the only power which
stands between them and ruin.
We believe every intelligent citizen
will agree that agriculture, com
merce and industry cannot ger along
without the railroads. On the 9TH
er hand, the railroads cannot get
along without the patronage and,
what is equally essential, the good
will, Of the people. That some OF
those who have been entrusted with
railroad management in the past are
somewhat responsible for the appar.
ent gulf between the public and the
transportation companies is perhaps
true. Busy and harassed by the
Herculean tasks entrusted to their
care, there has been too little con-
tact between them and the people.
Again, 1t is undoubtedly true that
the world of railroad finance as well
as other lines of industrial activity
has had its share of inexcusable
abuses--but just as the public does
not hold the banking world, or the
ministry responsible as a whole for
the shortcomings of an occasional
black sheep, so the hundreds OF
honest railroad officials throughout
the country should not be condemn
ed because of the misdeeds Of the
few.
