HOW AND WHY?
". C. COSTELLO,
Manager

How a man can embezzle SS.000,000
over period of years from an lnstltu-
ton that is supposed to be checked by Its
own auditors and double checked by au-
ditors for the state, is something rather
difficult to answer.
The confession OF Gilbert H. Beeseny-
or at Los Angeles to having accomplish
ed this gigantic feat is possibly the start
of an expose that may rock California
Despite Beesemyers protestatlons that
he alone was concerned IN the theft. Oh
ficials think differently and their ideas
seem to be borne out by the reported con-
fession of Rupert l.. Fleury, wee presl-
dent of Beesemyer's institution, who ad-
mitted that he knew of the latter's defal-
cations but kept still out OF spirit OF
LOYALTY to him.
Incalculable damage may be done to
MANY sound building and loan lnstltu-
tions throughout the state by the d!scov-
erv of Beesemyer's crookedneSs. 1t is
not fair to condemn all building and loan
associations because of the discovery OF
corruption in one.
But it does seem fair to ask what was
wrong with the state building ana loan
commissioners office, that 1t was posi-
BILE for Beesemyer to carry on his cheat
ing over a period of years. And 1t seems
fair to ask that thorough investigation
of all building and loan associations be
made.
Those who are carrying on business
legitimately are entitled to sucn an IN
vestigation and will welcome it. Any
whose affairs may be tangled up should
be exposed.
The layman, the small investor, most
" members Of the working class, VINO de-
posit their savings in buildings and loan
associations, are entitled to the fullest
protection the state can give. They did
not get it in Los Angeles and they are
entitled to know why.

POLICE HANDICAPPED

The odd spectacle of full page news
paper advertisement setting forth the
honesty of the police force, was present
ed to New Workers yesterday when
10000 members of the department unit
ed to denounce a score of their comrades
who have been implicated in vice graft.
Pointing out in the advertisement that
almost as many members of the depart
ment had been killed in line of duty as
were exposed in the vice investigation,
the policemen assure the voters that the
majority of the department are honest
men, ready to do their duty at all times
and if need be- forfeit their lives doing
so.
1t is not likely that the advertisement
told New Workers anything new. The
average policeman in the big cities is
honest and he wants to remain honest.
But it is almost impossible for him to
do so if he seeks to rise from the ranks.
So strong is the hold of politicians on af-
fairs that the policeman who does not
play the game never gets anywhere.
1t is distressing that this is so but it
is true. The best results the police can
hope to get from their advertising, is to
awaken the people to the necessity Of
freeing the police from the politicians
asd giving them an opportunity to per-
form their duty unmolested.
This much can be said for Mr.. Bee
senlyer-he certainly was no piker.
The marines are probably laughing
themselves to death. The army and navy
are doing their stuff in New York to-
day.
