THE VALUE OF HONESTY

c. Harold Gilpatric's dcfalcations at the First National bank in Putnam were not due to expensive tastes and an inferior salary. From all accounts, he did not lack comfortable sums of money. and his wifc's tidy fortune ap- parently was al his beck and call. The trouble with Gilpatric was he had too much money. and developed the lust to make it multiply too quickly.
 The cashier got into financial diff cultles over business deals He originally was an honest man. scquir- cd a reputation for business integrity, and as state treasurer was entitled to be relied upon by the public as man of probity and character Ii is exact ly this type of man. when he goes wrong. who creates the biggest stir and usually goes hell bent toward evil on the wholesale plan because of the sxten, of his bustesss interests.

STATES STAKE S10o,OO0

State funds approximating $100,0oo are involved in the Putnam bank wrecking. These funds, under the di- rection of State Treasurer Gilpatric, were placed in the commercial de- partment of the Putnam bank and the state will have to take it's loss, should there be any to depositors, upon the same terms as other.
 John B. Byrne, state bank commits sioner, who lives in Putnam and knew Gilpatric personally, is reported not to have interested himself In the states money in the bank; perhaps he thought it was too late. The bank commissioner knew Gilpatric per- sonally and in common with other citizens of Putnam thought highly of the business executive, bank official and state treasurer: he must have known Gilpatric's companies and that some of them were not given to de- claring profits. But the states money remained in the bank and nobody raised a query.

FACTS ON DANES PLAN

The Providence Journal takes the tims to point out a few facts about the application of the Dawes plan that it must be admitted have been gen. orally overlooked, These facts are that the London conference, now un- der way. constitutes but the second and third stages of the procedure. which has four complete divisions,
 The divisions Of the Dawes plan re- ferFed to arsi The first stage was the appointment Of the experts and the formulation Of the plan itself. The second was accomplished when the Allies gathered at London and agreed as 10 the details of applying the plan. The third stage Is in process of com pletion. being when the Germans ar- rived in London and the Allies started conferences with the delegates from Berlin. This stage is not yet com pieted and has resulted in considerable disagreement as 10 details, although the substance of the plan Is mutually satisfactory,
 The fourth stage will emerge irn- mediateiy after the completion of the third stage, and may prove the most delicate Of all. IL involves approval Of the agreements by the various parlia- ments. The London delegates, al- though they include heads of govern- mentS lack power to apply the Dawes plan after they have formed an agree ment regarding 1t. but will have to place 1t before their parliaments for ratification. The most trouble In this respect is expected in Germany, where legislation must pass the Reichstag before the plan can be carried into effect. In France there are forces in the Chamber of Deputies which are hostile to the Herriot government, who may create difficulty in ratification. No trouble Is expected in the British, Belgian, Italian or Japanese parlia- ments. As the Providence paper sug- gests, if the London agreement on the Dawes plan can survive assaults of re- actionaries in the German Reichstag parties, it probably will come to successful culmination.

NEW BRITAIN JAY-WALKING

Despite efficient traffic regulations jay-walkins in proximity to the center is almost constant, even during the peak of traffic.
 Conditions around the center being what they are, 1t perhaps is impossi- ble to eliminate 1t entirely. although this is not intended to excuse the practice.
 The western side of the center is the point where most of 1t develops. Street car patrons alight on the east side of the grass triangle and head for the west side. It makes no important difference whether they stick to the walks on the center or cut directly across the grass-in either case they will land at a portion of the outer walk where there are no cross-over marks. To reach these cross-overs they would have to walk a dozen rods or so south or further than this to the north. They don't do it.
 They head right across the street taking their chances in dodging trafic'
 A somewhat similar condition ob- tains on the eastern side of the center, where the cars stop. Street car riders leaving the cars there and desiring to cross to the eastern side of the street. usually do not walk to the corner cross- overs, but jay-hike right across the street.
 On these sides of the center it seems the natural thing to do, yet there IS just as much danger attached to jay walking at these spots as elsewhere in the city. The only meliorating fea- ture is that motorists seem to antlci- pate jay-walking alongside the tri- angle and experience has taught them to guard against it.

FEDERAL ACTION

It will have be noted that the hush. up policy surrounding the Gilpatric embezzlement at Putnam worked to a certain extent so long as state offi- cials influenced the investigation; but when the federal bank examiners got into action it was an entirely different matter.
 It appears that the federal govern- ment has no conception at all regard ing the niceties~of protecting favored political sons. These national officers simply wade in and grufly say whats what and let 1t go at that. The story told about the Putnam affair since their debut on the scene has had an entirely different sound than the scented rose stories previously.
 This reluctance of state officials to 20 the limit In matters which might have bearing upon state politics IS evident in other things besides bank busting.
