Plainfeld Police to Break Up Illegal
 Liquor Stores by Her Method.
 Plainneld, N. J., June 12.-A crusade against the sale of liquor in the so-call- ed "speakeasies" of the city, with Chief of Police F. J. Kiely at it's head, has been started here. The officers of the force have been instructed to follow the methods of Mrs Carrie Nation in every case discovered. The 'tspeak- easy'' is ordinarily located in some lit tie shop and is generally run by some woman among the young people of the vicinity.
 For the last year complaints have been coming in from the West end about store of this description, but the police have not been able to find evidence to convict. Parrolman Morris Higgins was detailed to hunt out the place Sunday. He broke into the store of Mrs Cartharins Burns and there found quantity of beer in bottles. He broke upen the cases in which the beer was kept and smashed the bottles upon the sidewalk.
 His method has been approved and all the policemen instructed not to wait for complaints nor warrants whenever they hear illegal sale, but to effect entrance by the quickest way and break the place up. The officers are thor oughly in sympathy with the orders, and lively times in "speakeasy" dis trict are expected. -

The lNsuLAR CASES.

The supreme court of the United
States has at last disposed of the re-
naming so-called insular case, ane
the country and the government now
have for their guidance a string Of de-
clsions which are remarkable for their
complexlty and seeming contradic-
tions. Taking the whole series to5
gether, the essence Of the different
rulings Is to the effect that the consti-
tuition follows the Gag, and remains
where it is dragged by the flag until
congress sees fit to pull it back. In
other words, the Philippines. as well
as Porte Rice, ceased to be foreign
territory for every purpose the mo
ment the treaty of peace with Spain
was ratified, but all the insular terri
tories acquired by the treaty are sub
ject to the action Of congress in rev.
enue matters. which fction need not
be uniform with the revenue legisla-
tion affecting the country as whole.
The customs laws passed previous
ly to acquisition of the islands can
not be applied to these new posses
slons as foreign territory. but congress
has the power to regulate the com
mercial intercourse between the main
land, or union Of states, and the mss
lar possessions, when there is some
special reason for enacting and en-
forcing regulations in reference there
to which are different from those con-
trolling the intercourse of the states
with each other and as a whole with
countries which are foreign in every
sense.
In the Foraker act, congress took
such action in regard to Porto Rico,
but has not yet done so in reference
to the Philippines. Il is now empow-
cred to do so, and doubtless will take
advantage of its powers at the pres
ent session by the formulation of such
special tariff legislation as the labor
and other conditions existing in the
archipelago demand The action of
the supreme court may afford another
proof that the law is, as has been said,
the perfection of wisdom, but there
are those who win remain in doubt as
to whether or not It is always the per
fection OF common sense.

IAE PASSING oE JENkINs.

(From the Detroit Free Press)
Abundaat material for comic
opera is supplied in the brief record Of
William NJ. Jenkins, whom the presi-
dent has just removed from the gov
ernorship of Oklahoma. A more in
genuous offender has never appeared
upon the American stage of action. In
compliance with his official duty to
let a contract to some person or cor
poration to look after the insane Of
the territory, he awarded the job to a
sanitarium company which appears TO
have sprung into existence in res
ponse to this particular requirement.
Ten thousand dollars worth of the
stock OF this concern found its way
into the hands OF the governor as the
result Of this deal Some observing
citizen had Mr.. Jenkins brought to
book for this thriftiness and upon his
naive explanation of his crookedness
he worked his own removal. II is i'm
possible upon the face Of the facts
not to give him the benefit of a doubt
and wish that he could start the
whole thing over again.
II is perfectly apparent that ~Jen-
kins thought It the usual thing for a
statesman in office permitting such
action, TO gather some of the money
going about for himself or his friends
or both. He had no thought that he
was doing more than following an
established and recognized custom.
Other men with the vested power Of
letting contracts we're taking down
scale and it was proper for him to
do the same. He does not make the
slightest effort to excuse his course,
but explains it all just as though the
explanation carried with Il yindica-
ton. The governor owed some politt
cal obligations and he was man enough
20 want 20 pay them. an evidence Of
political probity that is in itself re-
freshing.
Not having any Idle onices or READY
mnnav with which 10 meet the indebt-
edness jenkins saw and seized his op-
portunity In the sanitarium company
It had stock to burn. as it were, and a
few thousand shares cur little figure.
for the tax payers of the territory
we're to settle and the company allow
ca margin enough TO square any Of
nclal power that might be in need OF
a little help. jenkins may not be a
profound scholar or deeply yersed Ia
the morals that should govern prac-
tlcai politics. but he Is evidently a
keen and accurate observer. Job
berry ana indirect bribery are rampant
