The Postmaster General on
Smuggling.
4 Curious Plea n Mitigation IN the
Porto RiCan Scandal.

Porto Rican Scandal.
Postmaster General Payne offers q
novel plea in mitigation for the Gov
eminent officials charged with kioIat-
ing the Porto Riean customs laws.
He holds that there are two kinds of
smuggling" and that the offenses
committed by the indicted Federal of
ticeTs IN Porto Rico were of a purely
playful and iunocuous nature. The
offenders, 3Ir. Payne argues. carried
in wines, liquors. and cigars, not 10 be
sold for gam IN the open market. but
to be used IN private houses or at the
San Juan clubs, Therefore. they
should not be treated with the sever
" visited on the vulgar everyday
sInuggler, who breaks the laws to
make an Legitimate business profit.
We find no force IN such transpar-
ent casuistry. The distinctions made
by the Postmaster General are more
ingenious than convincing. His the
oTy Is defensible neither from a legal
nor moral point Of view. In the eve
OF the law the smuggIer who brings in
goods for personal use IS no less 2
criminal than the snuggIer who
brings IN goods to sell them at d mar
ket profit. Each defrauds the state
for his own selfish benefit. One saves
the duty and pockets II; the other
adds It 10 the price paid by the con
Stunning public and also pockets it.
The state suffers as much from one
transaction as the other.
Nor from the point of view of NOR
ais Is II any less heinous to smubele
for ones personal use than to snug
gle for purposes of commerce. The
petty smuggler appropriates to him
self all the benefits of his crime. The
commercial smuggler may IN many
eases share the profits of his law
breaking enterprise with the consum-
ing public
There IS, however, another phase of
the Porto Rican scandal which Mr..
Payne overiooks entirely in his apoI-
ogy. He admits that the offenses com
planned Of We're committed under the
conditions invariably attendant upon
selniuliHtary occupancy In other
words, they were committed by mill
tary and civil officers Of the Govern
ment who held themselves above the
foolish restrictions OF Porto Rican
law.
The real gravity of the San Juan
scandal hes, indeed. in the fact that
officers wearing the uniform Of the
United States and sworn to uphold It's
laws should nave endeavored TO sci
up one standard OF conduct for them
selves and another standard for ma
tive Porto Ricans.
Representing III that msular de-
tendency the authority and prestige
Of The Federal Government they dis
honored themselves and it by using
their commissions as q shield for Gus
toms tbievery- If only 10 restore.
American credit, they should be pros
eeuted to the full extent Of the law.
We hope the Administration viii stop
It's efforts to whistle their offenses
down the wind. Ii cannot afford to
annuI from Washington the indict-
ments brought against these backslid-
ing officials IN the Porto Ricau courts.

about Italy's capital. IL is claimed for the
book that IL Is his strongest and clearest
book: "A novel in which. around an abb

STRAWBERRIES IN OCTOBER.
Unusual Fact of it Is That They Were
Raised in This County.

Strawberries in October in this latitude
are as rare as the fruition of Democratic
campaign promises. but the guests at the
Claypool during the past few days have
been enjoying the luxury of strawberries
and cream and strawberry shortcake and.
more than that, Manager Henry w. Law
renee says the berries come from a Marion
county patch and that they are not hot
house products.
Our steward Mr.. Callaghan, won't tell
just where he gets the berries" said Mr..
Lawrence last evening, land L believe he is
wise, for If the public knew where the
patch is we might not be able to get any
more of them. The berries come from
Marion county, however. They are, of
course, second crop berries, but they are
remarkably good ones and it seems that the
crop is unusually large for the second one

LYNCHEHAUN CASE TODAY.
The Argument Will be Resumed I'm

The hearing of the case of James Lynche-
haun. the Irish refugee who escaped from
the Marlborough prison. Ireland. and whom
the English government is attempting to
extradite in order that he may serve his
life Imprisonment, will be resumed this
morning before United States Commits
sioner Moores in the Federal Court room.
The continuance of the hearing Will begin
with further testimony from Lynchehaun,
I'm an attempt of the defendants TO show
that the crime for which he was sentenced
was a political one and therefore not ex-
traditable under the treaty between the
two countries. Several new witnesses, who
are from Cleveland. but VINO were with
Lynchehaun in Ireland at the time of his
crime. will be introduced by the defense.
IL is impossible to tell how long II Will take
TO finish the case, as il is one of the most
intricate ones that has come before the
attorneys of this city for some time. one
of the lawyers said. however, that ne
thought the case would be settled within
two days at least.
Lynchehaun has made many friends since
he has been before the court The irish
people have come TO his aid with both
money and sympathy. All Irishmen of the
city are greatly interested and anxious as
to the outcome of the case. 1t is expected
that the courtroom will be even more
crowded than at the previous hearings.
