BECKER STOLE MILLIONS,
BUT DIED IN POVERTY

New York, Sept. 19.-The death here
almost week of Charles Becker, who
won international notoriety as a for
ger and a penman of skill, became
known here today. He died in poverty,
according to his friends.
Becker once stole 100000 francs,
approximately $1,O00,0O0, from the
Bank Of France, through his for
geries, and with confederates was
successful in similarly obtaining
enormous sums from banks in Rus
STA and Turkey. In the last named
country he was arrested, but escaped
from prison.
A life sentence behind bars for
raising. a 50 check to $4,000 was
Becker's apparent future fate in Cal
.ifornia twenty years ago, but his re-
lease was brought about by the
American Bankers Association. Beck
er was IS years old when he died.

PROSPERITY AND RECRUITING.

While recruiting in many districts has been sat
isfacory since the army ordered into Mexico there
is nevertheless feeling in quarters that there will
be difficulty under present conditions, in increasing the
size OF the army According to army officers who
rule unwilling to talk for publication about the army,
the main difficulty to be that with the present in
dusta prosperity not anxious to go to work for
the government at S15 month and their board and
clothes Work ii most large industrial centers is pen
tfuindeed it has been plentiful in the last
fifteen yeaIs-and wages relatively high.
The government has asked for 10000 men Immediately,
and with view to raising them the army has opened
crtng stations which have been closed for long time
The call has been general and with the army in Mexico
there is fair possibility Of fighting This is what young
men profess to want They complain that in times of
peace the army is dull 1t is not dull now, and with the
preparedness program outlined by the administration well
under way looks though the army offers fairly
interesting and remunerative to young will
ing to study and become candidates for commission.
There should be question of pay involved To give
this for sluggish recruiting is to admit that
something else is the matter for the average young
American does not take kindly to the idea of having his
patriotism rated in dollars and cents 1t may be that
while prospective recruits the advantages offered
day they doubtful about how long the new army will
remain in the public favor Certainly if decisive victory
is achieved by side the other in the European

there may be less talk of larger army in this country

the fact is measure OF their incapa-
city to read the signs of the times, and
the Republican party should no longer
be handicapped by leadership that Is
densely stupid as well as corrupt.
Borah's Timely Warning.
The election returns OF 1912 ought to
have been sufficient warning 10
Barnes and his stripe to keep hands off,
but 1t appears to be necessary to repeat
the warning lest greater disasters fol-
low. Senator Borah has served timely
notice upon the Republicans of the
south that the conscience of the party
revolts against the uses to which the
southern delegates have hitherto been
put by designing politicians. Four
years ago the regular and the revolving
factions were equally guilty in this re-
spect. The Idaho senator properly
maintains that the south can only free
itself of the charge of prostituting its
influence through the sale of its dele
gates by the selection Of men to repre-
sent 1t at Chicago whose standing will
be a refutation of the indictment. And
he strikes the nail on the head when he
utters the warning that
1t ought to be pretty well UNDER
stood and pretty well accepted By this
time that the Republican party will
never again submit to some of the
practices which have dishonored and
disgraced its handling of delegates In
the past. II any such practices are at
tempted in the future it will convince
thousands and thousands of the people
Of this country that there is no redemp-
ton from the old practices, and that
might mean the end of the usefulness
OF the Republican party"
Although the foregoing warning had
particular reference to the misuse Of
delegates from the south. IL is equally
applicable to the political methods of
men like Barnes; and unless the party
can go to the people in November with
clean hands 1t will be terribly handt-
capped And its hands viii not be
clean when it submits to or accepts the
triekery and chieane which constitute
the essence OF strategy as understood
by the reactionary leaders who were
responsible for the overwhelming de-
feat OF 1912.

Hands OF Mr.. Barnes" Is the
Warning Sounded by a Leading
Newspaper Of the East

That Mr.. William Barnes OF New
York and his type in the Republican
party who have been repudiated by
the rank and file, should not be per-
mitted to have a controlling voice, or
even the semblance of one, in party af-
fairs, unless II is planned to create
incalculable mischief, is the warning
issued by the Public Ledger, Philadel-
phfa, which in the same article points
out that United States Senator w. Z.
Borah of Idaho gave some wise advice
to his party when he said the party
revolts against the uses to which the
southern delegates have been put by
designing politicians.
The editorial in the Public Ledger
appeared March 20. while the sub
committee of the Republican national
committee was in session to outline
the preliminaries for the national con
vention. It is here reproduced for the
significance 1t bears to the entire party.
The article is as follows:
Hands off, MIR. Barnesl
According to the story that comes
from Chicago. Mr.. William Barnes IF
New York, one-time leader of tho
Republican party in that state but now
repudiated and discredited by the bet
ter element among the Republicans, Is
in Chicago with the avowed intention
Of controlling In his own interest the
action of the sub committee of the Re-
publican national committee which is
to meet today to select a temporary
chairman for the national convention.
It seems hardly possible that Mr..
Barnes can succeed in such a purpose.
or even that he can secure q serious
hearing before the subcommittee, but
his continued activity Is a menace to
Republican success and II 1t Is not
given its quietus it will do incaleulable
mischief to the cause Of genuine Re-
publicanism.
So long as Barnes and all men of his
type are allowed to have even the SEM
blance of controlling voice In the
eounsels of the national committee the
possibility of reunion OF the divided
forces of Republicanism will be made
more remote. The Progressive element
is still powerful enough to demand seri-
ous consideration at the hands OF those
who shall direct the Republican politi-
cal campaign this year. In the face Of
the definite overtures for harmony
made BY the Progressive national com
mlttee 1t would be suicidal for the Re-
publican national convention even TO
appear to be dominated In It's personnel
and policy by the reactionary forces
against which the four million votes
cast for Roos Relt IN 1919 were espe-
eially directed. If the politicians OF
the Barnes type fail to appreciate this
