If there is any honor among thieves, thieves are not aware of it Ne gateman who stole five dollars by a day's careful pilfering of receipts would turn it over to any person except to keep for Such communistic instincts are not found in dishonest persons. Rather, he would have carefully kept his plunder hoarded it away or spent it at his first opportunity, When twi score of thieves begin to prorate their illegal accumulations the millenium will not be far distant. There is little doubt but that there was some petty steal ing at the exposition gates. It would have been remarkable had it been otherwise. It was expected by the exposition man agement and every precaution taken to reduce it to a minimum The cause of this whole exaggerated scandal was the tac tical blunder on the part of the management in branding the innocent and guilty alike and placing the stigma on every gate man. Public opinion will not tolerate an injustice of this char acter, and while public opinion is in a resentful mood it is feady to believe anything that the injured parties may say. It may be that some gatemen who were strictly honest suspected that their fellows were not equally so. Theoretically, these honest gatemen should have turned informers, but as a matter of practice this is not to be expected. All the world despises It is an il logical attitucle, but none the less a fact, and the gatemen, hired to take money, can easily be excused for not assuming the duties of inspectors and making known their suspicions. The exposition management should single out the guilty gatemen and make publicly known the names of the men against whom no dishonesty was proven.

BY MARION LOWE. “Tam glad to meet you,” a warm hand-claap and “Good morning” was the length of my interview with Mra. William J, Bryan, but there was a “wireless” message for the men and women of Seatt! That's the story of a happy hus band and a happy wife. It was Mr. and Mra, Bryan, of Lincoln, Neb,, who were at the Washington Hotel Tuesday morning, not “the Honor. able and Mrs, William J, Bryan,” nor the public an and public woman, Jost a happy man and wife, that's all, “We're not in politie, you know,” Mr. Bryan had told me, “and we thought it wasn't neces sary for Mra. Bryan to assume the responsibility of interviews on this trip, but you may meet her if you like.” And with a little rap at her door, such as he might give at the door of her own room at home, Mr. Bry: an walked in and smiled at the wife of his home, Mra. Bryan looked at him inquiringly for an Instant, with an expression that sald: “William, I told you that I would not see any newspaper people.” Every bus band knows the look. But back of the first shadow of reproach in the wife's eyes was the appeal of the woman who is look ing into the eyéa of the man she knows is standing between her and the knocks of the world, so far as his broad shoulders can keep them off. Like a wise and devoted hus band, Mr. Bryan kept on smiling and sald: “This is a representa tive of The Star. I have told ber that you were not giving out Inter views, but that she might meet you, if she iWked.” And it was Mra.
