take place there Tho Boston Post

Is CHARLTON GOING TO ESCAPE?
New York Globe and Advertiser.

New York Globe and Advertiser.
The history OF our state department
policy, the strength OF the Anglo-Sax
belief in trial and punishment in tho
jurisdiction where the crime was COM
mitted, and the fact--a most practical
consideration-that II would be irreg-
ular and may be wholly impossible for
any OF our courts, state or federal. to
take jurisdiction, all of these things
combine to create the desire that the
Italian government shall ask the ex-
tradition OF Porter Charlton for trial In
Italy.
II. refusing to ask extIsditIon where
IL has refused to grant II, the italian
government should take no steps In the
case. ana II IT proved impossible, even
by strpinine a technicality for our own
courts 20 take Jurisdiction, a serious
gap would be revealed In our laws and
relations. In that case II
would doubtless be impossible to pass
q law that would cover the Charlton
case itself Such legislation, so far as
II related TO past offenses, would be
in the nature Of ex post facto legisla-
tion, and therefore unconstitutional.
But assuredly In such an event the
most earnest efforts should be made TO
make impossible the recurrence OF such
n dlsgraceful condition OF things-a
condition OF things that would bring
itself into contempt.

\ TIMELY WARNING.

DR.. Francis Clark. a Christian En-
deavor leader In an article In the
Christian Endeavor World, Boston,
calls attention to a subject of more
than passing Importance He claims
that In many OF the High Schools of
the country the moral conditions are
far from what they ought TO be- He
refers especially to the dance, and he
claims that by these dances. many
young girls have been ruined, body
and soul. because the dances are
sometimes so public and promiscuous
as TO have all the Objectionable fea-
lures OF the public dance-halls" DR..
Clark also condemns the secret So
cieties as another source of evil. In
this connection he says:
Il formerly thought that girls we're
more easily reached By the appeals
OF religion than boys, that their con-
sciences We're more sensitive, and their
higher natures more fully developed

than among those OF the other sex

IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.

few days ago we quoted an Eng
lish writer who undertook to review
the present financial situation Of the
United States, and who predicted dis
aster one OF the facts upon which
he based his forecast was the excess
~ imports over exports and the ne
cessity of gold expectation to settle
foreign obligations
The reports for May. however. show
an excess OF exports over imports of
no less than s11.215.S2O. This was
due to the decrease of the value of i'm
ports rather than an increase In the
value OF exports. but the balance of
trade was nevertheless in our favor.
and the gold exports, consequently,
fell from s6,2Ss. 900 in April, to So
$4,000 I'm May. This removes one of
the foundations for fear OF the future.
The figures for the eleven months
ending with the month OF MAY are per
haps far from satisfactory, though
the year is a record-breaker In the
matter OF imports. The total Of ST.
48sl6s,5O2 shows an increase of $780,
$4,000 over the same period last
year Exports OF sI.s17,O0O, 600 for
the eleven months show a gain of s71-

ports, best known as the balance of
