ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS OF CIVILIZATION

Most of these crimes of purely artificial
creation, like the offenses against the law
ing trusts giving rebates for railroad transporta
ton Practices of this sort were formerly accounted
merits and still are in certain cases. When the
farmers or fruit growers enter into combination
to keep UP the prices of their products they are
appauded. When a retail merchant makes rebate
on the price of his goods to large customer no
objection is raised. Smuggling is an offense of
purely artificial creation and nobody has been
able to persuade that it is wrong to slip
her diamonds or laces through the custom house
without payment of duty.
MUST JUSTIFY THEIR EXISTENCE
Every time we create a offense
obliged to supplement it with elaborate and ex-
pensive machinery of detection and, of course, the
detectives have to justify their existence by finding
something wrong. Not long ago two barrels en-
tered as whisky at the Hasett bonded warehouse
in this city were found to be filled with water No
body knows how the water got there. There
stories of bribes offered to Inspector, but the

is the attempt of the railroad companies to make
ticket scalping crime. find this in a southern

Charles Jordan, Los Angeles ticket seller has

panies on the charge of illegal use of the mails
The allegation is that Jordan used the mails to
inform prospective customer that he could sell
him railroad tickets into Kansas Jordan
unable to furnish $1,000 bail and remained in jail
all night
The railroads have tried stamp selling
unused tickets the part of called
scalpers Finding no law that they
fully apply, they seeking the aid of the United

ticket scalpers.

should be prosecuted for selling commodity
or privilege that he has bought and paid for.

isles, where the people make living by taking in
each others washing
