George Spilios arrived from
Fenore, Korithias, Greece today
and will make his future home
here with his brother James
Spilios. He is but sixteen
years old and with two compa-
MONS younger than he, made
the trip here without accident
and in record time. They were
twenty three deys on the road
and were mighty glad to reach
their destination. None OF
them speak a word Of English
but in q few months time they
will be able to hold their own
against all corners. Foreigners
assimilate the customs of this
country very rapidly and in q
very short time it is hard to tell
they are foreigners.

Post Office Robbed

The local post office was bro
ken into last night and about
SO 90 secured for the trouble.
Entrance was gained by crawl
ing through a small air vent
under the building and then ac-
cess obtained by coming thro' a
trap door. The first place Wis
tied was the candy counter of
Chas. Neitzsch where one box
Of candy was taken and anoth-
er about half emptied. The
cigar case and money drawer
were not disturbed. After fill
ing their pockets with candy
the thieves climbed over the
money order window and ram
sacked the mail, tearing open a
number of letters and packages
but not finding anything of
value so far as is known. The
money order drawer was pried
open with a brake shoe key,
taken from the r r. yards,
from which they obtained near
ly Sc 90 and about So 90 from
the stamp drawer. No stamps
were taken or anything else of
value except an old silver
watch by which Postmaster Ad-
Unused to tell when it was time
to close up. He regrets the
loss of this more than anytning
else.
Deputy Sheriff Myers and
Marshal Cooke were on the job
lin a very short time after the
work was discovered and are
using every effort to locate the
miscreants so that they may be
properly punished.
Nearly everyone who has
looked into the case pronounce
it the work of local talent and
young talent at that and an eff
fort will be made to find out
the guilty parties so that an ex-
ample may be made of them. A
United States Inspector will be
here shortly and then things
will begin to happen. An Ordi-
nary robbery is committed and
an effort made to clear it up,
but If the officers are unsuccess-
full the matter is let rest on &C.

it is different. They have men
paid to do nothing but ferret

ones who did the job last night
forgot they were monkeying
with Uncle Sam and by tearing
open the letters and packages
they laid themselves liable to q

Property Owners and Street Paving,

Decision having been rendered by the
corporation counsel that the so-called
Borland amendment to the District ap-
preparation bill, putting part Of the cost
Of street paving upon the owners of
abutting property. applies to work un-
dertaken this year. the Commissioners
are to proceed upon the new basis with
the Improvement of the streets by origi-
nal paving and resurfacing. The question
arises whether the owners of the prop
critics abutting the streets chosen for
paving or repairs are to have any de-
termining voice in the matter. 1t would
seem only just to give them the chance
to veto any proposition for the expendi-
ture Of money which must come in large
part from their pockets. In many cases
the assessment of paving costs upon the
owners of property will prove an un-
bearable burden upon them. 1t is con-
ceivable that some owners of property
may be overwhelmed by these costs. If
put upon them without their consent.
OF course the improvement of a street
cannot be left to the individual wishes
of the owners of property adjacent alto
gether-that is to say, street cannot be
paved piecemeal, or left unpaved ac-
cording as A. or B. or c. may elect. But
IL a majority of the owners along a
pair or for original paving protest
against the work. their unwillingness to
stand the cost which the new system
would impose upon them should operate
as a deterrent. in all equity.
Evening star., 1914-08-01

agreed with the views Of the majority
of the Congress considering them.
There is something misleading, therefore,
in the talk about creating a tariff COM
mission for the purpose Of taking the
tariff out of politics. The tarin cannot
be taken out of politics while Congress is
invested with the power of taxation: and
Congress could not part with that power
il it would except through an amendment
to the Constitution.
The present is an era Of commissions
But commission invested with the
power of customs taxation would be SO
much more important than all the other
commissions combined. Its creation is not
within reasonable calculation. The party
in control will always determine the
character of national taxation.

Chairman McCombs.

When Chairman McCombs Of the dem
ocratic national committee declined the
French mission gossip carried two ex-
plantations: one was that he was
..miffed." and would have nothing to do
with the administration. The other was
that his success in politics had given him
a strong liking for the game. and that
he preferred active political life at home
to the leisure of IA diplomatic post
abroad, even in SO attractive q city as
Paris The latter explanation seems to
lit the case.
Mr. McCombs must be fond of politics
He keeps his hold on the national COM
mittee, and is in touch with what is 60
ing ON In political circles.
Just now he is busy trying to bring
order out of chaos IN New York. He
wants democratic governor. a demo-
cratic United States senator and as many
dem. cratic representatives as possible,
elected in November. His choice for gov
ernor is thought to be Gov. Glynn. and
his own name has been connected with
the race for senator.
Copying the republicans, the demo-
Gratis are preparing a platform in ad-
vance Of their state convention. and Mr..
HcCombs is the chairman of the COM

mittee which has the business in hand.
Those who will assist him are William
Church Osborn, George Blauvelt. George
Burd, William Temple Emmet, D. Cady
Herrick, Martin w. Littleton and Fay C.
Parsons Besides, all other democratic
leaders in the state are invited to make
suggestions as to what the platform
should contain.
But Mr. McCombs is not confining his
attention to New York. His official eye
is glancing from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and back. again. He is getting
line on the situation throughout the
country respecting the next House, with
view, of course, of assisting democratlc
candidates in their campaigns.
If there was at one time GOODNESS be-
tween Chairman McCombs and the Pres
ident it has disappeared. They meet for
conference at the White House apparent
ly on the best of terms; and maybe Mr..
McCombs is the stronger there for the
fact nat his name has not been associ-
ated at any time with controversies
growing out of patronage. There has
been no 'McCombs slate" mentioned in
any quarter when the hunt for office has
attracted attention.
Paris is bright and gay, and the HE
of an ambassador there is full of move
ment and pleasure. But in deciding to
remain at home and bear a hand In the
rough -and-tumble Of our political activi-
ties, Mr.. McCombs made the choice
which testifies to the American spirit of
wanting to be near when big things are
stirring and to help to give them shape
and consequence. The President is for
tunate in the friendship and assistance of
so capable a man, whose position gives
weight to his words and deeds.
