Border Towns BoomIDp

Some time ago the Kalamazoo
Gazette stated that the towns in
Kalamazoo county just over the
line from Calhoun, would boom
as result of the abolition of sa.
looms in Calhoun county. The
towns are booming alright ac-

day last. IN which il gave a glow
ing account of a street riot AT
GaleSburg, on Monday. Sheriff
Campbell and deputies had a
herce fight with a Battle Creek
gang that had come over TO the

Handouts, clubs. umbrellas and

violation of the local option law.
Rhodes escaped conviction, but
Allen plead guilty and is now
serving a term of from three to
fifteen years in the state prison
at Jackson, being the only man
to suffer punishment for this
crime from the organization of
the county to the present term
of court. We might mention that
Rhodes was acquitted
by reason of Aliens perjury. he
was, not long afterwards, sent to
the Detroit House of Correction
on a charge of obtaining goods /
under false pretenses. The same
year, 1908, another party was
brought before the court on a
charge, but the informa-

Many favorable comments
have been heard in regard TO the
boost OF the local press for a
road around the west shore of
Maple lake. Some boosting is
necessary on the part of citizens
OF Paw Paw to make Maple lake
mean what it should mean to US.
1t is beautiful sheet of water
nicely located with magnificent
shores 1t should be lined with
cottages, summer homes and
other buildings. 1t never will
be however without a road on
the west side. That is the first
Improvement that should be
made and one that is absolutely
necessary if We would real re

beautiful lake. The road would be

far reaching. The property
owners along the right of way
Of the road should be, and are
willing to assist in every wav

OF their property and would be
the starting point of a good
healthy boost for Maple lake
and a greater Paw Paw. The
necessary preliminary steps
should be taken at once.

Perjury A Grave Crime.

The Berridge case which term
mated last week, is without doub
one of the most important case.
ever tried in the circuit court o.
this county. In MS efforts to en-
force local option law. prosecu
tor Warner brought prosecution
on a different phase of the situa,
alton and was successful. 1t has
been a matter of common know
ledge, that some druggists of the
county did not pretend to report
all their sales of liquor although
such reports were accompanied
by sworn statements as required
by law. Violations of this ma
ture have been a serious handi-
cap to the enforcement of the To-
cal option law. The conviction
in this case will have its effect
not only in Van Buren, but in
other counties. 1t will have its
effect not only on druggists but
on every witness sworn on a
criminal case Many cases in
this, as well as other courts, have
been made a farce and travesty
on justice, by the false and per
jured testimony of witnesses.
The law regards the crime of
perjury as one Of the gravest Of
crimes, ranking in moral turpi
tude next TO the crime Of treason. |
When perjury is committed on
trial for capital offense, |
it may be punished by
Imprisonment for life or any
term Of years; in other cases the
term of Imprisonment is limited
to term of 10 years.
No crime IS as common as the
crime of perjury; no crime is
more difficult to prove, and no
crime is so well calculated TO
thwart the administration of pub.
lie justice, or to prevent litigants
in the courts from obtaining their
just and legal rights. Judges
and attorneys and officers OF
courts are well aware of the fact {
that any term of court that pass
es without more or less false :
testimony from the witness '
stand is an exception to the gen. c
eral rule. I
And yet, owing to the difficult 5
ty of proving this crime, not l
withstanding there may be e
moral certainty Of guilt, but com 5
Daratively few prosecutions for Q
false swearing are instituted. /
The first case in Van Buren, a
county was in 1914. The ac- a

UNEARTH SCHEMES
TO AVOID PAYMENT
From Now on Tourists Will Be
Allowed $500 Worth
of Furniture.

Repeated attempts TO defraud the
Government resulted, today. IN a new
order from the office ef the Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, regarding
the admission Of household effects into
the United States.
The law has heretofore been inter-
preted broadly, and Assistant Secretary
Reynolds was liberal In his ruling Of
what constituted household effects The
rUling has been that a person arriving
at an American port may declare him
self nonresident II he has been abroad
Tor two years, or he may make the same
declaration upon the production OF salts
factory evidence that he was a bona
TIDE resident at a given place Cor one
year. In either case he would be en-
Titled to bring into the country duty
free household effects which, in the
opinion of the customs officials, were in
accord with the tastes and means Of
the applicant.
II was recently discovered by the de-
partment that a clever scheme had been
devised to avoid the payment of duty.
A large number OF sc-called non-resf-
dents produced rental slips as proof Of
continuous residence IL one city. The
CuStoItS OFFICIALS became suspicious OF
the slips, and an investigation disclosed
the fact that many Americans who
leave their native land for a prolonged
stay IN Europe rented a room in Lon
don at small price, for which they
We're giveE receipt for a years. rent
Upon the expiration Of a year abroad.
the American, armed with the rental
slip, would be entitled to bring home
enough furniture TO stock his house
without paying duty on it.
Under the new ruling o. Secretary
Reynolds, the rental slips VIII no longer
be recognized, and if an American wants
to stock up his house with foreign
household effects he will have to prove
TO the satisfaction of the customs Of
nc1als that he las been living abroad
for two years. Otherwise, he win be
permitted TO carry into the country
500 worth Of goods free, and pay duty
on all other articles.

CUSTOMS RECEIPTS
RAPIDLY INCREASING

Customs receipts for yesterday as re-
ported TO the Treasury Department to-
day amounted to sl,4l5. S54. as compared
with s1.lS9,914 for the same day OF last
year.
Since July 1. the beginning OF the
fiscal year. the receipts from customs
have been si. 6ss. s9S, which shows an
increase OF about sI2,000,000 compared
with the receipts of the same period OF
last year, the figures for which are
SO, 40, $50 It is yet too early to make
any definite comparison between the
workings from the revenue standpoint
of the new tariff bill with the old Ding
ley law because In some sections col
lections are stu being male under the
old rates subject to revision and correc-
ton But the Treasury officials find
considerable satisfaction IN these fig
ures because they see IN them evidences
Of a general revival Of business in all
branches and a consequent return of
prosperity.
Yesterdays receipts from customs at
the principal ports were as follows:
New York, s1.0l5.973; Boston. S137, sos:
