considerable literature concerning

Frank G. Bigelow, the default
ing bank president of Milwaukee,
has been sentenced to ten years
imprisoment for his recent pecu
lations amounting to $1,500,000.
Fourteen counts were brought
against him. but all save one of
these were stricken out. Under
good behavior the sentence hang
ing over him will be reduced to a
period slightly exceeding six years,
and his punishment will consist of
the arduous task of keeping books.
With proper pressure, which no
doubt will be brought to bear, he
will probably be pardoned in the
course of a year or two, after the
public has had an opportunity to
forget slightly the gross theft per
petrated upon innocent beings.
Jean Val Jean was cursed by thej
law all his life for stealing a loaf
of bread, and many another man
very likely some of those prison
comrades of Bigelow Himself
suffers tenfold more in proportion
to his crime than the gentleman
from Milwaukee. All of which re
minds one of the lines:
A little stealing Is a dangerous part,
But stealing largely Is a noble art;
Tis mean to rob a hen roost or a
hen,
But stealing thousands makes us
geutlemen.
The Portland Journal evidently
feels all swelled up. It has a
$40,000 libel suit on its hands. C.
E. Rumlein, member of the city
council who has been acquitted of
the charge of accepting a bribe in
connection with the telephone
franchise through his attorney, C.
E. S. Wood, has filed charges of
malicious and libelous publication
on the part of the Journal and
considers his reputation injured
$40,000 worth. Now watch Mr.
Rumelin get a whole lot of expen
sive legal experience and none of
the Journal's shekels. The courts
are not in tho hnbit of
JVuooia. iiie rtuiclicail press, ow
ing to its enterprise and aggresi
veness, may, like indmiuals,
sometimes make mistakes, hut is
invariably fair and reasonable
enough to make the proper amends
if convinced of its error. The lo
cal newspaper of today is the friend
and upbuilder of the clean people
everywhere. The reputable citizen
has nothing to fear at the hands of
the press. On the contrary, the
present day newspaers aid and pro
tect the reputable community. It
ia only evil-doers and law bieakers
that need fear the sayings and in
fluences of the press. They and
thev alone are the ones who gain i
li.is boell
matters.
