The jurlst bases his argument on
the principle that while the Views
of the President are entitled to re-
spectful consideration they are not
conclusive on the question, because
II Is one for the sovereign people TO
decide. He contends that the only
custom In this country relative TO
terms of the presidential Office re-
lates to elective terms. and so does
not apply TO Roosevelt, and that
even were II otherwise the people
have the right to modify II as they
may see NJ.

REASONS WHY ROOSEVELT
SHOULD BE REFLECTED
Sacramento Bee.)

Sacramento Bee.)
Justice Frank Norcross, OF the
supreme court OF Nevada, was the
winner of the prize of $1,000 offer
ed by United States Senator Bourne
OF Oregon for the best article on
the theme of "Why Roosevelt
Should BE Reelected" The win
ming paper has been published in
the National Magazine, Boston, and
makes strong and convincing
showing.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1908-04-17

SO Justice Norcross concludes his
argument ander this branch OF the
question thus eonyincingly:
What Mr.. Rooeeyelt is pleased
20 call his first term, was, In reality,
the second term of President Me
Kinley, by Theodore Roosevelt, act
ing capacity similar 10 that of an
administrator with the will annexed.
II may be conceded that during these
three ana half years, the people
obtained some intimation OF the
character OF administration that Mr..
Roosevelt would inaugurate should
he be elected President and thus be-
come free 20 carry out his own pol
icies. As a matter OF fact, hewever
he never lost sight of his declara-
ton made In an solemnity at Buff
falo TO carry out absolutely un-
broken the policy OF President Me-
Kinley,' How then, can his re-
election violate the substance any
more than Il does the form OF the
customg Il violates neither"

A Customs Scandal.

Chicago, Aug. 19.-The United States
authorities 81 Ohicsgo, Boston and Wash
ingt)n for the last eight weeks have been
investigating the most remarkable al
legged attempt u "beat" the customs laws
ever brought ID their sttettion. Mrs.
Emily Rockwell Crane Chadbourne, who
is now living on the North Shore Drive,
daughter of Richard L. Crime, million
aire head OF the Crane Manufacturing
Company, and Mrs. "Jsck" Gardner, of
Boston, are the persona involved. Ii is
alleged thst Mrs. Ghsdbourne brought
into this country IS, her household goods
under false declaration, nearly $780,
600 worth of articles OF virtus belonging
to Mrs. Gardner, on which she placed q
valuation of IS. 900.
While In Europe, Mrs. Ohsdbourne
formed the friendship of Mrs. Gardner,
the eccentric Boston widow, well-known
for Der famous Venetian palace, brought
to this country, plaster BY plaster, from
Italy.
The palace, erected at great expense
10 Back Bay Fens, known as Fenwsy
Court, is filled with rare and costly
paintings and s!stusry that Mrs. Gard
ner collected In various parts of Europe.
About two months ago, secret service
agents in Paris learned that large ship
ment of Mrs. Gsrdner's goods had been
made from Paris to London. The au-
thorities there lost track of the goods.
Last month Mrs. Ohabonrne came back
to Americs. She had several large
cases labelled "household goods" ship
ped Ia bond to Chicago. She made q
declaration that she truthfully invoiced
goods which were "household articles. !"
She declared they had been used less
than a year abroard, were her personal
property and hence eDt; tiled to admission
free.
Following q tip from abroad that 1t
might be well to investigate the ship
ment the goods were opened and In
stead of IS, 900 worth Of pots, pans, ETC.,
$50, 600 worth of tapestry, marbles, oil
paintings, srmor, porcelains and other
things of the like we're exposed.
What explanation wss made by Mrs.
Chadbourne Ia not known, but P. Mont
gomery, chief OF the secret service de-
paItment, was put on the case. He In
terviewed Mrs. Ohadbourne here and II
is said she admitted the deception and
then began heroic efforts to keep 1t quiet
and effect a settlement. The authorities
assessed the legitimate duties amounting
to $50, 900 and then added 6 ty per cent.
penalty on the gross valuation Of the
goods. A check for $40, 900 was given
the authorities. Then the goods were
declared forfeited to the government and
If Mrs. Gardner wishes to get them back
she must pay the govsrnment $50, 900,
their value. Otherwise they will be sold
at auction. When this step is taken thu
commercial honor of the government
will be satisfied.

Terrible Mine Explosion.

Wigan, England, Aug. l9.-After the
recovery today Of 90 burned and uti-
lated bodies from the Msyp1le colliery,
where a terrible explosion occurred yes
terday evening, flames drove the ras-
cuers back with between 80 and 60
bodies still undiscovered. Her,ic tff r s
are now being made b Subdue the flames
80 that The rescuing party can re-snter
the wrecked mine, bu. thtre is no hope
of finding any of the entombed men
aliye. The rescuers are working sgaintt
fearful odds and at imminent risk of
losing their own lives in the flames and
gases that gil the mine. Many were
overcome by the fumes and brought TO
the top OF the mine unconscious. Eighty
men were 10 the mine when theexplosion
occurred and but four escaped. Most
of the bodies recovered are either head
less or limbless, showing the terrific
force of tie explosion. Many of the
niue ponies we're also dismembered.
A freDzied and grief-stricken mob,
after an all-night vigil at the mine, is
still lowering near the shaft, in the hope
that some OF the ent)mbed miners may
yet be rescued alive. A party Of seven
rescuers that attempted to re-euter the
mine this afternoon we're overcome by
gas and are now in critical condition.
They we're dragged out of the mine un.
conscious by second party OF rescuers,
one of whom is also at the point of
death. Later in the day another patty
Of rescuers entered the mine. Midway
down the shaft they found that the root
OF the mine had fallen In, completely
blocking the entrance to the place where
the miners are entombed. 1t will re-
quire many days to remove this wrecksge
and before the entombed men can be
rescued they will have starved to death
II they are not already dead from the ex-
plosion and asphyxiation.
