New York, Jan. 14.--Custom spies

 In way, the government is forced to this unworthy espionage for it is the only way to cope with smuggling. The informer is paid 25 per cent of the fine imposed for in formation and in no instance is his identity revealed to those whom ne betrays.
 Thus the valet or nurse in a wealthy family may keep tab on purchases abroad. tile the list with officials and receive a handsome re- ward without even losing his job Clerks in European icwelry houses are the biggest profitcors in get ting their diyvy Of smuggling fines
 Even in reputable establishments clerks have been known 10 jockey customers into q trap. They whisp 1T ways and means of cyading duties and immediately dispatch inform1- ton to proper authorities and later receive the rewards of their treach- cry.
 The biggest smuggling indicators - outside of the professonais-are the extremely rich. They are forever taking chances and forever being caught. At times they are permitted to get away with loot for several voyages and then one day their bag gage- is sealed and carted off 10 warehouses.
 Custom inspectors and appraisers are usually tolerant with petty in fractions. Eacn passenger is permit ted to bring in dutiable goods to the amount of $100. But where frugal passengers have saved for years for the Big Splurge and bring m trifle above that amount the official eye is winked.
 Human equation governs custom l nspectlon. The professional is shown no mercy. If he has offended be- fore, he is taken into the inspe cti0n quarters, stripped, and often de- ta1ned A hours inComr0unicado His luggage goes under a microscopic examination.

WILSON DRY TALK
| IS M|SCONSTRUED
| Temperance Leader Explains
Prohibition Remarks
at Philadelphia.

8y the Associated Press.
DR.. Clarence True Wilson, executive
secretary of the Methodist Board of
Temperance, Prohibition and Public
Morals, said last night that a speech
he made Sunday night at Philadelphia
had been misinterpreted.
He had been quoted as saying that
prohibition was not designed Ito keep
you and me from drinking" which, the
quotation added, lis a matter for our
personal tastes TO decide"
IT said" DR.. Wilson explained last
night, "the private appetite is controlled
by sentiment, judgment, education,
home training, religious standards and
by the exercise of moral suasion on
the will. If people are still drinking,
that may not be the fault of prohibition.
at may be the fault of parental eX-
ample, lack Of home training. lack of
moral suasion in the Sunday schools
and churches, and failure of the pub
lie schools in accordance with law to
give instructions to the youth in the
effect of alcohol, narcotics and opiates
upon the human system. But why blame
prohibition for our failure all along the
line?
prohibition is the designed remedy
of the evils of the public and legalized
liquor traff1c. Its purpose was to out
Law the making and selling of intoxicat-
ing liquor. If it stops the distillery, the
brewery, closes the saloon, breaks up
the power of the liquor traffic in public
life it has succeeded in its purpose.
"The temperance reform Is a two
handed affair, not one-armed. 1t has
total abstinence for the individual and
complete legal prohibition of the traffic
in liquors as the duty of civil govern
ment.
eff I drink liquor, have violated
the principle of total abstinence, but I
have not shown that prohibition is a
failure. II I sell liquor, I have vio-
lated prohibition, but have not proved
that total abstinence is a failure. The
two movements, though both a part of
the temperance reform, are totally dis
tinct."
The Associated Press is glad to make
the correction.
