Northfelds Trouble.

Financially, the people of Mortified
viii not suffer as the result OF the tax
ing OF money from the town s funds by
the young woman who was trusted by
the treasurer to keep his accounts. She
was not IL town official, was not under
bonds, was accountable only. TO her en-
ploYer. by whom she was primarily en-
ployed as houseleeper. The financial
responsibility is the treasurer : and the
assurance that the town VIII not lose
lies in the fact that he IS presumably
able to meet the loss and that back OF
him stand his bondsmen. The treasurer
is moreover a trusted citizen and OF IN
questioned trustWorthiness, an lndustri-
Gus, honorable, prudent and high minded
man. II the quality OF prudence Is ques-
toned it is only in the instance OF his
trust in the member ofshls household. q
matter between him and his unofficial
assistant
But Mortified does suffer, first in
the notoriety which has given Its trouble
the first pages of the newspapers, and
more than that in the revelation that
a woman whose life in all other respects
was blameless, who was held IN esteem
| has broken down under the temptation
to use money not her own and under
the enticement of speculation. 1t IS
only a country town that takes such
collapse to itself as the personal al
fair OF all its people. 1t Is almost a
family auaIr, SucH Is the close IeiaJlol
ship of the people of a small community
1t need not amaze nor puzzle the out
slider that the people OF the town sym
pathize with the young woman, even
though the fault seems to him to be all
her own.
Close guarding of town funds has been
advanced in recent wears by better re-
| quirements as to auditing accounts. But
! it seems that it has farther to go. Sc
curity ought not to rest upon the bond
| ing of treasurer, even though that is
ample as against loss Of funds. 1T ought
not to be tested by an annual report OF
a yearly audit BY methods which any
! business concern would employ for like
| volume of transactions, there should bC
a continuing safeguard in the account
! ING. which would work both to the ad
vantage of the treasurer against sucl
| occurrences as North6eld 5 present one
| and to the town itself.
There being in this instance no be
: travail of his trust by public official
| certainly no conscious one. there is hap

/ misplaced confidence on the part of thC
! people The personal feature is OF an
| other sort. distinctly personal one, II
