THE MANN LAW AND BLACK.
MAIL.

The amazing revelations Of black
mail on a nationwide scale, made
possible by the existence in the stat
utes Of the Mann act, revive the
question whether that law is going
to remain permanently in the books.
II members of Congress would vote
as they think about this act, it
would never have passed, and 1t
would be repealed with the least
possible delay.
The Federal authorities have not
the facilities, and it is not their bust
ness, to look after matters of private
morality. The Federal powers are
nowadays used for the most i'm
possible purposes, and withheld in
cases in which they ought to be en-
ployed. The Mann act is a stretch
Of national authority over interstate
commerce, 30 inexcusable that, If it
is logically justifiable, then Federal
police courts might fairly be set up
in every town and usurp the last
shred Of State and municipal author
ity on the general ground that the
National Government is worried lest
interstate commerce be injured by
the tendencies Of people to commit
every possible sort Of improprietyl
1t has been held that insurance is
not commerce; but here we find that
morals are commerce - interstate
commerce, too! 1t is altogether too
strong. 4.
The Mann act is an invitation of
adventurers into the fruitful field of
organized blackmail. That is exact
ly what It is. The present revelation
Of a big blackmail syndicate Is not
the first proof. Blackmail began
to thrive Immediately after that law
became effective. Nobody knows or
ever will know to what extent it is
carried on. Not many blackmail
victims have the courage to "squeal. {"
They pay and keep still, or they bluff
their way through and likewise keep
still. The Mann law doesn't put an
end TO the sort Of immortality at
which It aims, and that sort of a law
never will. But it does provide in
yiting opportunity for the exploita-
ton Of a new realm Of highly Guilt
waited blackmaiL

GREAT STAPLE FRUIT

Hail to the Baldwinsl They have
nosed out the Ben Davises, and this
months apple forecast Of the De-
partment of Commerce puts the
luscious Baldwins away ahead of the
erstwhile leaders.
To the commission merchant, these
100000 barrels of forthcoming
Baldwins will mean prices, orders,
and sales. But to the apple lover,
and there are many of them yet, II
will mark the decline of those old
fayorites, the Winesap, the Northern
Spy, and those formidable hard New
York Imperials, which, nevertheless,
were great keepers, "as any house
wife could tell you.
=. Out in the rural districts the
apple epicure still persists. There
the large plates of rudy skinned
apples still are brought in just be-
fore bedtime. Father is apt to take
his peeled" the children scorn to
remove the epidermis, and prefer
eating by the cylindrical process
right down to the core.
Even in the city, memory of rustic
life is not so dead but that the Gus
tom of nocturnal apple eating yet
prevails AMONG many, who will re-
gard the commerce report, not from
a coldly commercial viewpoint, but
with the concern Of Epicurus, and
Will follow closely the relative preva-
lence of their favorites.
Many who look upon grapes as in
cidental and extraneous to the
scheme Of life, and upon pears OF
peaches as occasional luxuries to
supplement their diet, esteem the
apple prime necessity. For these,
apple forecasts are almost like re-
ports Of the wheat crop. Any marked
higher cost of apples would be to
them a calamity indeed.

OWING THEM A NEW CHANCE

"A veteran postoffice employee at
Milwaukee was convicted Of opening
letters, and sentenced to the peni-
fsntiary. He was released recently,
after serving his term; and It Is an
hounced by the Prisoners Relief So
ciety that the Postoffice Department
has agreed that he shall be given a
position In the department II he will
pass the civil service examination.
This represents, It is explained, the
upsetting Of a tradition in this de-
partment, as old probably as the pos
tai service itself. No employee hav-
ing once been convicted Of crime
against It has been restored. A more
Intelligent humanitarianism has for
years been appealing to corporations,
firms, business houses, employers>of
all kinds, to take down the bars
against the man who has once done
wrong and expiated the offense. 1t
has been pointed out, and nobody has
denied, that the ex-convict finds it
almost impossible to become once
more good citizen even il he has
the desire; which is the explanation
Of why the penitentiaries contain SO
many second and third and fourth Of
tenders. There is no reason why the
National Government should not lead
in the effort to do something for the
man who has been unfortunate.
There is every reason why it should
do so, and the determination Of the
postal authorities in this case will be
hailed as an evidence Of a better
Attitude.

changes that have taken place. the
principles must have been 90 def
nitely laid down as to make 1t sim
pie matter to determine whether
promises had been violated in specific
cases. More prompt and pointed ac-
ton by the Washington Government
ought to be possible. The German
admiralty must be extracting vast
amusement from It's performance Of
threatening unrestricted" subma-
rine war, and thereby making WASH
ington believe It could, IL It would,
do something much more frightful
than II is now doing. Americans
aboard the Strathtay and the KEEL
vinia win wonder just how their
cases could have been made more
serious than they were when their
ships were sunk.
