ILL-ADVISED, OR WORSE.

By showing how untenable his own position
is, and thus by contrast indicating the course
of wisdom and propriety, DR.. Parkhursts smart
effusions are occasionally useful. Such a result
seems likely to follow the publication of his
letter to Mayor Low the excise question,
especially since he has taken pains in a supple
mentary interview to make palmer the truths
which he inadvertently suggested in his original
outgiving.
at impresses me-" said DR.. Parkhurst yester-
day, 'that the present excise law will be ex-
'ceedingy hard to enforce. Roosevelt lent all
'his wonderful energy to attain this end, and
1--WE had three dry Sundays as a result. That
'does not seem to predict success for any effort
''the present administration may make. The
whole police force used in carrying out
"Rooseyelts determination, and there prac
'tcally an open field for the perpetra ton Of
''other crimes" Nevertheless, Dr. Parkhurst
instructs Mayor Low that it is his duty to ex-
haust all his resources in an effort to enforce
law that is quite likely unenforceable," and in
doing to create an open field for the perpetra-
ton of other crimes. He is, moreover, COM
manded to do this forthwith, before he has had
an opportunity TO ascertain essential facts and
calculate probable consequences After due
consideration he might conclude that it
possible to do much, and steadily more and
more, IN tne way OF preventing VlOldtlOnS OF
the excise law. without exposing the city to an
outbreak Of other crimes; but that would not suit
DIR. Parkhurst, who enthusiastically chooses
to assume charge Of the situation and pre-
scribe a course of action which he is convinced
would fail to accomplish its particular object
while exactly serving the purposes Of criminals
in general.
II may be theoretically true that magistrate
is equally bound TO enforce all laws, but if his
resources are inadequate, as in this instance DIR.
Parkhurst says that the Mayors are he as
suredly is not obliged TO make an inevitable
failure along one line and thereby throw away
certainty of substantial success along other
lines at least important. Whatever DR..
Parkhurst may desire, or mschievously pretend
to desire, this community does not want an
open field for the preparation Of other crimes
to be assured by futile attempt to enforce the
excise law. Suppose that the legislature In
view of the fact that the children are continu-
ally running under the wheels of trucks and
trolley cars. should pass act forbidding them
to go about the streets at gait fagter than
walk. Would It be Mayor Lows duty to employ
New-York tribune., 1902-01-21
his own signature that though the Cuban sugar

his own signature that though the Cuban sugar
industry should recover from the prostration
caused by war; there is no fear that Cuban
production, even under an annexation to the
United States, can in our day expand to the
point where the United States would become
exporters of sugar instead Of importers, and
hence that protection would no longer protect"
In other words, no matter how much the beet
sugar and Cuban sugar industries may be ex-
panded, they will not In our day be able 20 sup
ply our domestic demand. What an answer
that is to the pretence that beet sugar alone
Will be able to do so In short time! Moreover,
annexation to the United States would mean
absolutely free entrance of Cuban sugar to our
markets. If the beet sugar interests had moth
ing to fear from that, on what ground can they
consistently oppose entrance Of Cuban sugar
at half the present tariff rates?
There is really logical ground for oppo-
sition to the proposed reciprocity with Cuba.
Cane sugar producers practically say: I'VE can
mot supply the demand, so we insist upon
taxing those who can, and taxing the whole
American people for using more than we can
produce" The beet sugar producers say the
same. and add: I'VE have nothing to fear from
abolition of the entire sugar duty, wherefore
I'VE object to even a reduction Of a part Of that
duty What kind of logic is that with which
to oppose what the President well calls "weighty
reasons of morality and of national interest?
New-York tribune., 1902-01-21
THE CAMERA SPY.

A recent report from Manila shows that the
enterprising photographers who go 10 the Phil
ippine Islands for the purpose of securing in
formation as to the fortifications find their
business n precarious one, and the calling has
consequently lost its charm.
Two German tourists with complete photo
graphic outfits had succeeded in making pict-
ures of every gun and fortifcation on the island
of Corregidor when they were discovered by an
officer, who, according TO the report ordered
them to light out" after destroying their
plates When the German photographers were
reprimanded one of them excused himself by
saying that he had "seen no signs up"
The value of the Photographic camera in the
Philippine Islands cannot be overestimated. 1t
has done much toward bringing them nearer to
the people of the United States, and the reports
of the various commanding officers TO the au-
thorities at Washington are specially inter
esting because of their numerous Photographic
illustrations. But the camera is dangerous
weapon also, and General Chaffee will receive
the thanks of his superiors for preventing its
misuse in the Far East The spy in the form
of the tourist or the Photographic amateur has
found the gates of fortified places in the United
States closed against him for several years, and
it seems that his day in the colonies is also over.
