CONCORD, y H., March 10.-In the
United States court in this city Yesterday
Ernest A. Bunker. bookkeeper of the Ma
tional State Capitol bank of this CITY.
pleaded guilty Of embezzlng about Sic
from the bank and was sentenced by
Judge Adrich to not less than i've years
in the federal prison at Atlanta
Mr., Bunker was represented by Alex
ander Aurchie, who after the Indictment
was read, entered plea of guilty in behalf
Of his client, Mr.. AIurchie then told the
court of the case. He said that Mr..
Bunker at no time was an extravagant
liver, and in the 20 years he had been EN-
ployed by the bank, he had been held in
high esteem by his associates and by the
people Of the city
The embezzlement said Mr.. Murchie.
was due to the fact that illness had existed
in the family OF his client and ON the sal
airy which he received he could not meet
his obligations
Mr. Aurchie asked for leniency and gave
as has reason for so doing that the money
in the case had not been used for extrava-
gance or speculation but simply to meet
the expenses of his daily life
Mr. Bunker has led very quiet life
and his downfall came as a great surprise
He had been prominent in church, frater-
nal and musical circles
Josiah +. Fernald, president Of the
bank, made this statement yesterday all
ternoon: The discovery of Mr. Bunker
wrong doing was made on Feb. 10. by VA
tional Bank Examiner Norwin s Bean
When confronted with the charge. Mr.
Bunker confessed and told the details oil
ms crime. He was placed under arrest at
that time by the United States marsha
and bail was furnished for his appearance
before the grand jury when called Since
that time he has remained in the bank
employed upon certain duties under care
ful surveillance
''AIl the accounts and books of the bank
have been gone over carefully and the
amount OF his shortage has been fixed. Al
he gave it, at SIT 900. This amount ha.
been charged off, and the banks surplus
stands today at S25000O, with sol, (1lC
undivided profits The method OF HI.
manipulation was such that every individ
ual account appeared correctly upon tht
books, the thcfts being hidden IN the
gross amount.
Mr.. Bunker confessed that his pecula
tons had been in progress for more than
dozen years, all being in comparatively
small amounts, and due, he said, to fnan
cial pressure upon him through sickness
and other extra family expenses
Mr.. Bunker has been in our employ u
years and has been regarded by Us, as b,
the whole community, as a man Of gooC
character and correct habits, a careful an,
competent employe. His salary was raised
some time ago from 81 500 to 81 500
year
It is probable that Bunker will start o.
his journey to Atlanta today lie wa
permitted to visit his home after sentenc,

There is one very easy way tt
take the tariff out of politics
That Is for the Democrats to
come around to the ''Americs
First" policy and give up their
advocacy of the purchase of pro
ducts of foreign labor. If the
Democratic party will favor a
tariff that gives the American la
borer a degree of protection
commensurate with the higher
standards of living in this coun-
try and the increased cost of pro-
duction, the tariff question will
stay out of politics. The Repub-
licans believe in an America
First" tariff. 1t isn't a partisan
question; it is question of patri-
otism and good business sense.
There is no reason why the DEM
ocrats should keep the question
in politics by trying TO destroy
American industry an effort the
Republicans feel their duty to
oppose. Since Preaident Wilson
is so adept in changing his mind
let him change it on this, and use
his influence for the enactment o f
a law that will insure the stabil-
ity of American industry af-
ter the war is over, and the tariff
question will be speedily removed
from politics. With that ques-
tion removed, we shall be able to
discuss the mismanagement of :
foreign affairs, the demoraliza- 7
ion of the postal service, the ex-
ravigence of the administration.
ne folly of govrnment ownership
nd the assault upon the civil

Ition or revenue measures. q
