TOURISTS MARVEL AT CHANGE
In OUR CUSTOMS SYSTEM.
Watchful Men Give the Home Coming American Civil Treatment
and His Baggage Is Well and Quickly Handled, but the
Law Violator Stands Less Chance Than Ever.

The beginning of the return OF the
hundreds of thousands Of American
tourists who have spent the spring and
early summer abroad has started. ana
even the old-time travellers marvel at
the perfection of the new system mat
the Customs officers have inaugurateo
for the comfort of transatlantic pas
eengers. which at the same time re-
duces the chances of petty smuggling
to a minimum. The officers are so
alert in their duty that there is abso-
lutely no chance for the big swindleT
to carry on his or her ~contraband
trade as in h days of old.
In those days there was so much
smuggling that in order TO keep up
with the game the Customs men looked
upon every one of the tourists as a
possible smuggler, with the result that
no Judgment was used in the examina-
ton OF the baggage. Passengers were
insulted, and with each arriving steam
Or bushels OF complaints were filed at
Washington from indignant citizens
telling Of the i~ndiguities h they had
been subjected to AZ the hancS OF the
Customs officers.
At the same time the department was
at its wits enc how to stop the pro-
fessional smuggler from carrying on
the trade without detriment to the in
nocent tourist who was bringing in ten
or twenty dollars worth Of wearing
apparel. The hu~ndred-dollar limit for
wearing apparel was then incorporated
in the tariff law. Even after this mea-
sure had been adopted there was no
relief for the average tourist. The
complaints continue to como IN and
Investigation showed that In nine times
out Of ten proper Judgment was not
used by the officials at the pier.

sIDE-LIGHT ON PHILIPPINE QUESTION

JUST before Secretary Taft sailed upon his
" recent trip to the Far East, he was talking
of the Philippines one day with a United
States Senator who was not wholly we'll
disposed toward the American retention of the
archipelago. This man found a great deal to
say to the former Civil Governor of the islands,
and closed with:
However, Mr., Secretary, there's one thing
have got to say in favor of hanging to the
group, and that is that you've got enough
unhanged Filipnos out there to turn out
sufficient hemp to string up all the rascals in
the world
Taft laughed heartily, and said: "That's
right, and hadn't thought of it before either.
And your remark throws food of light let
me add, on the secret of the strenuous oppo-
sition from certain quarters in this land against
the free importation of manila hemp into the
United States"
