The Customs Frauds.

The whole country has been on the
alert over the exposure of frauds in
the New York customs house. But
New York is not the sole offender.
Similar conditions are believed to exist
or to have existed at Boston, Phila-
delphia Norfolk, New Orleans and San
Francisco. Goods have been under
valued. False scales have been used
for weighing goods which were the
property of persons who used financial
or political inducements to secure ia
vorable treatment. Seventy-three en-
ployes of the New York customs house
have been removed, and the press has
expressed its pleasure at the wholesale
decapitation of the men who were vic
Tins as much as the causes of a vile
system.
Sunset" Cox, once a New York CON
gresham and a master of epithet, said:
1T Is as easy to run a powder mill in
hell as an honest government with d
treasury surplus" Much more difficult
is 1t to honestly administer a system
which, like our tariff system, is based
on force and fraud.
OF course, the exposures have shown
such a condition of Decentralization as
almost to justify Secretary MacVeagh's
description of the place as a NEST of
rattlesnakes," but if 1t be completely
cleaned out it will be as bad in few
years again. An honest customs house
is a contradiction in terms. 1t puts
the largest premium known on perjury
and collision. It offers the inducement
Of Independent fortunes to plant men.
No system has ever been devised ca
pable of resisting such influences per-
manently
If it be true, as our protectionist
friends contend, that the tariff is nee
essary to the existence and prosperity
of the United States, then we must
face the fact that our existence and
prosperity depend upon a system
which is the prolific mother of con-
fidence men, thieves and grafters.

Killing Direct Primaries.

The primary bill passed by the state
senate was purposely loaded down in
order to secure its defeat by the courts.
1t abolishes political parties and makes
the primaries and elections go as you
please contests for office. With two
exceptions It was opposed by the real
friends of direct primaries and was
supported by it's foes.
The primary measures passed by
former legislatures were amended by
the bosses to invite adverse decisions
from the supreme court. The present
bill is loaded down with an obnoxious
clause in order to secure its defeat in
the house or by the highest court.
The enemies of direct primaries
boldly defy public opinion. They will
not listen to the people, but take their
orders from political bosses. Such of
these legislators as reside in Cook
county cannot be reached by the peo-
pie. They have no constituencies, but
are mere creatures OF the Owners as
ISOLATION.
Legislators from down the state are
more responsive to public opinion.
They can and will be reached by the
voters, whose wishes they refuse to
respect

FIELD OF LITERATURE

! A CHEEKY, Optimistic Magazine.-A
+ CHEEKY, optimistic tone is character
istic of Lippincott's magazine, and the
February issue is no exception to the
general rule. The number opens with
long and intensely powerful detec-
tive story by that versatile genius,
I Carolyn Wells. The new tale is en-
titled "The Gold Bag" and it is fully
up to the standard of its famous pred
ecessor by this author-"rhe Clue"
which has been one of the most sue
cessful books of the season. ''The
Gold Bag" deals with a murder mys-
terry, and is told in the first person by
a young detective, who, despite his
own astuteness, finds it necessary to
call on that past master of deduction,
Fleming Stone. d character which has
figured in other detective stories by
Miss Wells. Numerous clues are in
turn run down, but all lead to blind
alleys until the remarkable Mr.. Stone
succeeds in nosing out the true scent.
Bright, snappy dialogue and a love at
fair add interest to the narrative. An
other big feature is Education Out

pOrtant series Of six papers on What

! 70 say that If / don't admit I'm a de-
scendant of over the Mountain Dodge
that you'll forbid Emfy's marrying
me?'
That's what mean" snapped Luke
Goddard.
Addison turned toward the door
every well, sir. I'm not going to lie
about the matter to gain anything, not
even Emily. She wouldn't want me to-,
would you, dear?'
His voice dropped into tenderness as
she came forward and slipped her
hand into his.
"No.'' said Emily with. trembling lips.
Father knows I shall never marry
without his consent. and if he feels
that he is justified in making me IN
happy over the question Of some man
who is dead and buried this hundred
years, why. have nothing to say"
She broke into sobs and hid her face
in her hands.
Except 'goodby.'" added Addison
Dodge. kissing her golden head.
The outer door opened and closed
and left Luke Goddard and his daugh-
ter alone in the mountain cabin.
Outside the door Addison Dodge
thrust his arms savagely into the
sleeves Of his heavy jacket. belted it
snugly about his waist and pulled
his cap down over his ears.
Then he strapped on the snowshoes
that he had left beside the door and.
throwing his gun over his shoulder,
strobe away up the steep mountain
path.
Great pines heavy With snow leaned
above the narrow trail.
AS he crashed through the thin crust
with fercely placed steps a light wind
sent the snow crystals in icy sting
ing gusts against hi; face.
AS be plodded upward the crust was
thicker, and when he reached the top
OF Bald Knob walking was difficult.
He paused and looked around at the
mountains Of snow glistening with icy
caps in tEe bright sunshine.
Overhead was Il sky of deep blue.
Below nestled the village, with his
school in the center. and under the
shoulder OF Bald Knob was Luke God
dard's comfortable home.
Addison could see the smoke pour
ing from the wide chimney 1t crept
like a blue mist up over the shoulder
and curled away into nothingness In
the light air.
The house was long and low. and it
was built so snug!y under the noun
tain that the kitchen opened directly
into great natural cave in the rocks.
and that cave was Luke Goddard's
woodshed.
Addison's strong arms had hewed
vigorously that long autumn to FL the
woodshed. Every night after school
he had come up the mountain and.
with Emily sitting near by TO gladden.
his eyes. he had cheerily reduced the
pile Of cord wood to kindling.
In the spring he and Emily were to

and Madison streets. Two inmates
were captured. A roulette wheel and
layout" were discovered concealed
under a trap door In the floor, the trap
itself being concealed by a heavy lin
oleum. AS soon as the gamblers heard
the danger signal they dropped the
Layout" into the hole, and they them
selves disappeared almost as myster-
iously as the paraphernalia was con-
cealed.
Chief Kramer is correct in his opin-
ion that too close a watch for such
violation of the gambling orders can
not be kept He himself secured the
information which led to the raid OF
Friday.
BY this constant vigilance and in
corruptible official action the gambling
syndicate which for years operated in
Springfield under recent administra-
tons has been completely broken up.
During the early days of the Schnepp
administration many of the profession
al gamblers left town and have not re-
turned Some of them have engaged
in legitimate business. A few BLACK
legs" still linger around trying now
and then to wriggle away from the
law and to operate despite the close
watch of the police, but they don't do
much.
The result is that Springfield today
is freer from the disgrace of public
gambling than 1t has been since it
grew to be a great city.
To the officials responsible for this
splendid improvement in the moral
tone Of Spriu gfeld, announcement and
commentator are due. They do, not
receive the encouragement they de-
serve. That they are unrelenting in
their policy to enforce the anti-gam-
bling laws, despite the fact that they
get more criticism than commenda-
ton, is only another proof of their sin
cerity Of purpose.
To any one conversant with the con-
ditions In Springfield when public gam
bling was permitted and protected I'M
der recent administrations, it is indeed
a pleasure to contemplate the vast i'm
provement which has been wrought.
Such moral Improvement brings ma
teTial improvement.

The storm outside may play a tuns
Upon the window pane.
May be a blizzard bearing snow
Or Just a winter rain.
But little cares the man inside
How bitter and how rough
The tempest through the town may tear
II he has coal enough.
He knows that somewhere in the blast
Are men who must perform
TIE work that lets him sit at ease.
Regardless OF the storm.
But still he sits him down 20 rest
And elevates his feet
To smoke his pipe or take a nap

The gentleman who has enough
The passing show can view
Without a feeling OF distress
For those whose Joys are few.
He may express a wish perhaps
That they were better clad
And sometimes raise his eyes and say,
'It really IS too bad"
That's how he feels when fortune comes
In answer TO his beck.
When he can make his troubles ny
BY writing out a check.
But when misfortune comes around
And camps upon his trail
He wants to turn things upside down
And send the trusts to Jail.

When he had returned 1t to his lips
and applied a match. he lifted his
keen gray eyes to the obstinate face
Of the young man on the other side of
