WEDNESDAY JANUARY 27, 1904 ~ TRUSTED EMPLOYES Wil0 GO WRONG WO notable cases have occurred within the past month or two of trusted employes in certain cities who have proved dishonest. In both cases the dishonesty was the result rather of opportunity than of intent. The men who fell were weak rather than resist temptation, wicked. They were unable to It has been said that to every man comes an opportunity. which if seized will carry him to success, and it may as rightfully be said comes as well, that the opportunity for evil Men who are strong either by nature or education resist while others, with no criminal intent, fall. Experience has shown the wisdom of reducing these opportunities for wrong-doing. In the two cases now before the public the chances for theft were made actually inviting. Careless methods of book-keeping and equally careless auditing made robbery easy. The trusted employes yielded to a temptation which to them proved irresistible and are now suffering the consequences. It is impossible to draw the lime between weakness and dishonesty, and those who have stolen, no matter what the . mmetive;-éxce very properly regarded as criminals. Yet everyOne realizes that ‘=.difference exists and that the man who yields to a temptation is not of the same order as the professional thief. Everyone feels, too, that a certain amount of blame rests with those who careléssness or indifference made the temptation possible. The two recent defalcations prove the need of better busness methods. There should be no “trusted” employes. Every man occupying a position involving the handling of momwey should be watched and his office hedged about by safeguards to reduce the chances of dishonesty. The honest man would welcome these precautions for they would lessen his responsibilities and make his work easier: the dishonest man would by force be kept in the right path, and the weak man would be saved from a temptation that otherwise might land him in the penitentiary.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 26—A large, ferocious dog, belonging to William Barr, entered the family home Saturday -night {carrying the head of a young child in its mouth, which had apparently been jerked from the child’s body while the latter was yet alive. It was reported to the Coroner, who went to Buri’s place, which is four mites distant from the center of the city. The police are of the opinion that Barz wes afraid to report the case because the dog belonged to him. Barr is a German and unable to speak English, and is also unfamiliar with American Coroner customs. He did not koow what action to take until told by friends this morning. A further examination of the child’s heed leads tothe belief that it was probably not more than one year old The Coroner’s theory is that it was abandoned on a lonely common and and frozen or benumbed into unconsciousness by the cold; that tbe dog found it in this condition and tore it to pieces. The commons are covered with snow today, preventing the fluding of the body. Death Rates. SAGRAMENTO, Jan. 26.—The report of the State Board of Health for Decamber, 1908, as compédled by Dr. N.K.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 26—A large, ferocious dog, belonging to William Barr, entered the family home Saturday -night {carrying the head of a young child in its mouth, which had apparently been jerked from the child’s body while the latter was yet alive. It was reported to the Coroner, who went to Buri’s place, which is four mites distant from the center of the city. The police are of the opinion that Barz wes afraid to report the case because the dog belonged to him. Barr is a German and unable to speak English, and is also unfamiliar with American Coroner customs. He did not koow what action to take until told by friends this morning. A further examination of the child’s heed leads tothe belief that it was probably not more than one year old The Coroner’s theory is that it was abandoned on a lonely common and and frozen or benumbed into unconsciousness by the cold; that tbe dog found it in this condition and tore it to pieces. The commons are covered with snow today, preventing the fluding of the body. Death Rates. SAGRAMENTO, Jan. 26.—The report of the State Board of Health for Decamber, 1908, as compédled by Dr. N.K.
