Crumpacker on Bank Wrecking.

Valparasio Messenger. Representative E. D* Crumpacker thinks one of the unsolved mysteries of the times is why men of seeming good character will deliberately move toward the penitentiary. "The conviction of W. L. Collins, J. L. Brodiick and Walter Brown,” said the congressman, as he took a comfortable position in house smoking room, “ought to be a lasting lesson to young men in Indiana, but I am afraid it will not be. Year by year the government, which we know is relentless, puts men in prison for wrecking banks, and yet men of the highest intelligence continue to offer themselves as subjects.

"The trouble is we have set up some false standards of wealth and of living in this country. I have thought about it a good deal in recent years, and it occurs to me that we are in need of a revival of the good old doctrine that honesty is the best policy. If every mw could see what he ought to tee early in life that an honest, up ' right career is the only one worth pursuing, we would bave fewer wrecked lives as a result of following the false standards of the day. "I am preaching that doctrine every day, and every man who baa any influence on men ought to preach it,” added the congressman. Wanted one ton of good timothy

hay.
