Kidnaping.

When the Cudahy boy was kidnapped,
some months ago. and the father was
forced 10 pay a heavy ransom for the re-
turn of his child, public Indignation was SO
wrought up throughout the country that
It seemed as though little time would be
lost in the writing of new and more strin-
gent laws on the subject of child stealing.
The general demand was for the enactment
of death penalties in all the states for even
attempted kidnapping, although a more
sober second thought modified this PROPOSE
ton somewhat A few states attempted
the passage Of more stringent laws, but
the net results Of the agitation were small
in comparison with the volume Of the pop
ular outcry against the 1axity of the exist
ing statutes. Now attempt at kidnapping
is revealed in the east, with the demand
equal to that which was met by the Omaha
man. Thus far the father of the threatened
children has preserved them from harm,
but his efforts to capture the Would-be kid
napers do not promise to be successful.
If there is any virtue in the laws which
deal with crime it should be in deterring
criminal actions. There is little satisfac-
ton in mere sunishment for the sake of re-
venge. In the matter Of kidnapping, such as
was successfully accomplished In Omaha
Pittsburg millionaire. the stake on which
the criminals fix their eyes is valuable and
tempting. If they win they are compare
lively rich. If they lose, under the laws as
they now stand in general, they can at
most suffer only few years Imprisonment.
The fact that they threaten the death Of
their little victims If the ransom is not paid
does not make their punishment more Sc
we're. The temptation Is so strong 1t Is a
matter of wonder there are not more at
tempts at this crime Just as in the case
of burglary, the punishment is inadequate.
Not only should the crime itself be consid-
cred, but Its possibilities. The burglar arms
himself to kill if dist sturbsd at his work The
kdnaper threatens to kill If his demands
are not complied with. Each Is a potential
murderer and each should be menaced
by the law with the severest punishment.

sions, such as the luncheon when the Me-
teor was launched, offer especial tempta-
tions to these people. Wllnout considering
that the articles they take are of value.
and that their abstraction represents q loss
to some other person. they cheerfully strip
tables of silverware and even glassware
linen and decorations. Their bland excuse
is that they are merely taking souvenirs" 4"
Amply able In most cases to pay even
heavy prices for such trifles, they prefer to
take unasked and unnoted. There is an ex-
citement in the chase for such articles
which reflects the buccaneer spirit Of the
old days when the laws Of possession were
vaguely defined and rested mainly upon the
doctrine Of opportunity and force. Now
that the unfortunate Gotham caterer has
been forced to the wall by the souvenir
raiders the public conscience has been smit-
ten. and already propositions are offered
for the restitution to him Of the goods
taken from him. Public acknowledgment
by each OF the pilferers Is of course out OF
the question. 1t may be that q trif1e of
good may come from SO conspicuous an
illustration Of the practical effects of this
dishonest habit.

Six Sacks of Sugar.

.The shipments of sugar last week from
the port of Havana amounted to six sacks
writes Mr. Charles NJ. Pepper to The Star
from that city under date of the 18th in
stant His letter printed today. read In
connection with that printed in The Star OF
Saturday, shows that Cuba is waiting upon
the decision of the American Congress with
more than interest, with an expectancy
which is steadily growing into impatience
and which carries with 1t the issue OF vast
business interests. Mr.. Peppers knowledge
of Cuban affairs gives weight to his sug-
gesti0ns concerning the problem of the fis-
cal relations between the island and the
states He shows in these letters mat
Cuba is today practically paralyzed in busi-
ness owing to the uncertainty Of the future.
Meanwhile trade is at standstill and Eu-
ropesn nations are gaining ground from
which they may later make heavy inroads
upon the commerce which should naturally
belong TO the United States. The delay in
deciding the. character OF the future tariff
arrangements is evidently promoting the
growth of an anti-American sentiment for
which some classes OF the Cubans are alto
gether too ripe. Practical Illustrations
which Mr.. Pepper gives in the course of his
letters show just how the uncertainty af-
fects the sugar industry, Cuba's mainstay.
Starvation may not be Immediately ahead
Of the Cubans OF the lower classes. but there
are some very hard times In prospect in
case the United States hesitates much
longer about granting the tariff relief
which our relationship to Cuba requires us
In honor to extend. Incidentally it is evil
dent that the Americans who visiting
Cuba and learning of the case at first hand
are strong in their belief that Congress
should act promptly along the lines Of the
administra TONS recommendations.
