Permitted to do business, he is makiag restitution to hundreds. Ah, but, some will say, Morse isn't being punished as he ought to be, by close confinement and hard manual labor In| other words, the hundreds of families whose losses might be re- \¢ trieved by Morse, free to do business, ought to contribute this| chance simply to satisfy the desire of those not directly inter- ested that Morse be punished after the usual form A great many people see in imprisonment only purposes of degradation, punishment, vengeance of the law. But there are, or should be, higher purposes- If Morse were the ordinary, useful poor man, the court would have put him in the prison to make products that would compete with the products of free labor. Surely, it is better | that Morse be on the outside long enough to make good his thefts. It is especially better for the poor men, to arose whose class hatred that New York court is being by the press. I have stood on a sidewalk and taken mud from the auto- mobiles of both Abe Ruef and Schmitz, and been most dam- nably made about it. Their cases were different. They were sail- ing around in high style, fighting justice, in charge of a valet of justice. Morse is doing justice by those he wronged, and, for one, I think the court has shown surprising good sense in let- ting him do it. -reformation and restitution. “roasted” a DAZZLE OF GOLD BY STUART B.

THE CHICKERING PIANO is the AC- KNOWLEDGED prototype of tone, con- struction and durability—without a su- perior in the United States or Europe— the instrument honored by Monarchs and Dignitaries—and the joy, inspiration and desire of all true artists and musicians.
