FRIDAY EVENING. APRIL IS. 1906.

AFTER nearly seven years John r.
Gaynor aud Benjamin d. Greene have
bcen convicted in the United States Cir
cuit Court at Savannah of participation
in The frauds in the Savannah Ha-bOr
improvements for which Oberlin d.
Garter was dismissed from the array and
imprisoned for five years. Doubtless
there will still be appeals and some time
will elapse before the convicts will &C.
tualIy begin to pay the penalty OF their
crime. But at last they stand convicted
by a jury, and there is every prospect
that the verdict will stand. The frauds
of Gaynor and Greene we're In them
selves Of such character that punish
ment was extremely important But
yaslly more important Was 1t Tor Inc
government to face the issue MADE
nv these men and prove that neither
money, nor time, nor distance could con-
fer immunity.on those who commit Of
fences against the United States. These
men we're rich and influential. When
indicted 10 1899 they made strenuous
fight against going TO Georgia for trial.
They lost were held in bail to appear at
Savannah. forfeited $40, GEO bail EACH
for which. it is said, they afterward re-
imbursed their bOndsmen, and fed 10
Canada. There their money enabled
them TO secnre influential friends ana
skillul counsel, and the Quebec COURTS
until oyerruled by the British PrlVy
Council, protected them in their asylum
Had their cases been pending be-
fore State tribunal the chances are that
prosecution would have been abandoned
and they would have continued to enjoy
their i'll gotten gains in Canada. The
United States, however, was persistent,
and after nearly four years OF effort
brought the fugitives back to this coun-
fry aud to the trial which has resulted
in uuquestionably deserved conviction
The facts brought out in the Garter
case and the confession of flight re-
move all doubt about the guilt OF the
prisoners. 1t is good thing 10
have them punished. 1t is better
thing to have the certainty OF pun
ishment for such offences thus made
manifest The frequent failure OF the
State courts to punish crime and The
freouen, WEAKNESS which attacks prose-
cutting officers are fertile cause OF law
lessness State officials have too of!en
a habit of beginning proceedings OF
public interest with great zeal, aud drop
ping them when their sensational value
has been exhausted. That is not the
way. as a rule, with the Department OF
Justice, and it is one reason why the
laws of the United States are frequently
better obeyed than those of the States

this anarchist cannot be learned, but ne
served a short term in prison at san

in prison threatened to take the life o.
President Roosevelt when he was released.
Immediately before the expiration oil
his term OF imprisonment the anarchist
was examined a. to his threats and IN
tentions, and he madea statement under
oath that as soon az he gained his liberty,
