1.-THE GREAT CHANGE IN OUR
ETHICAL STANDARDS"

Which do you blame most for past
frauds in the custOms-the people who
have perpetrated them, or the officials
who have let them perpetrate them?''
'I cant answer that. put just IN that
way. But III say this:
''In the old days when this office was
a political power and occupied by poll
ticians, the days before the great change
IN our ethical standards as a nation
had begun to come about"

OF corruption which was eating into
the very heart of the customs admin

the country about $4,000 COO a year.

and in every city and in many OF
them has brought honesty where be
fore there was dishonesty. 1t has put
on guard faithful public servants
where before there were creatures
who robbed the taxpayers with both
hands. On every side there is proof
that higher ideals prevail in both pub
lie and private life
It was a marvellous work, and there
ig good cause to believe that It has

that death was due to heart failure,
the death resulted from excessive
laughter.
Tired from his days labors, Mr.. Bos-

his wife read him the news of the

Tenyo Maru will be on the new sche-
dule and as soon as the new boat is
completed it will take up the run
ming. The new schedule has not yet
been made out but it is expected that
before the Nippon Maru gets to Japan

sary arrangements will have been
completed. ---'"-',t si'"''..,, .-.
