North avenue as a guest Of the city
and as a warning to other prisoners
who might be tempted to wander
from the guardianship of their keep
ers.
According to a statement made by
the Jail officials, Dineen was working
with n gang of other prisc1ers in the
yard attached to the Jail. He was
very Industrious pulling weeds out of
his war garden, when he spied a hole
in the fence and while the guard
turned to find out the baseball score,
he skipped to freedom.
Since leaving North avenue, Will
liam has wandered about the country
to a considerable extent, but could
not forget the charms of Bridgeport.
Answering the call OF the bright lights
he turned his footsteps toward the
Park City and met with such royal
welcome, that once his foot slipped
and he found himself in the tolls Of
the brass buttons and harness again.
When he reappeared in the lobby of
the hotel he left SO uncerimoniously
two years ago he was at once recog-
nized and the host insisted upon his
prolongang his second visit.

ROBBED WHILE
IN PLAYHOUSE

Joseph Lederer, of 62s Washington
avenue, and employed at the Ashcroft
company's plant, complained to the
police today that he was robbed of $45
and pay check No. 115 while witness
ing a performance at one Of theatres
on Main street last night. He was
unable to give any description of
those sitting next to him, but said
that he had his money divided, having
50 in one pocket and $50 in another.
According to the police this points
to the fact that he was either robbed
by some one sitting back of him or
jostling him in the crowd leaving the
playhouse.

AMERICAN DYES AND THE TARIFF.

We have become so accustomed to thinking
Of the establishment of the dye industry In this
country as something accomplished with the
aid of substantial tariff duties that we need to
be reminded that congress has seen fit to limit
the operation of the present dye schedules. Tx
IcelIent results have followed the increase IN
protective duties by the act of September, 1916,
but the increase is not permanent Congress
recognized the force Of the plea made by the
dyestuff makers and the textile interests for
tariff legislation favorable to the new industry,
but it took pains to provide for gradual with
drawal of the new duties after five years. The
law says that during the period of FIVE years be-
ginning FIVE years after the passage of the act,
Z. such special duties shall be annually reduced
by twenty per centum of the rate imposed by
this section, so that at the end of such period
such special duties shall no longer be assessed,
Levied or collected But the end of the new
protection may come earlier than the time indi-
Gated for the law provides that ii at the expira-
ton of five years from the date of its enact
ment the president finds that there is not be-
ing produced in the United States as much as
sixty per cent. in value of the domestic con
sumption of dyes, he shall put an end to the
collection Of the special duties.
Fortunately there is reason to believe that
the American dye makers viii meet the condi-
tions imposed by congress unwilling to amend
the tariff law in the interest Of an important
industry without limiting the operation of the
amendment In a year and half of the first
fve-year period mentioned in the act, there
has been rapid development of dye manufacture
ing here. 1t is said, In fact, that domestic pro
ducers are already meeting large proportion
Of the requirements Of domestic consumers, and
their position should be stronger In two or
IL
fort should be made to retain the protective
features of the dye schedules beyond the date
mentioned in the act will depend on develop
rnents In the meantime. Certainly it would be
folly to permit the loss of profitable industry
through failure TO protect American manufac-
turers from unfair German competition after
the war.

cAMPAIGN AGAINST LYNCH Law.

In his address to the executive committee OF
the American Bar association. the attorney
general of the United States made a timely pro
test against the law of the mob. Urging MEM
hers of the association to conduct an educa-
tionaI campaign against lynch law, he pointed
out that one of the principal reasons for our en-
tering this war was the lawlessness of the Ger
man nation and he said that for US TO tolerate
lynching is to do the same thing that we con-
denim in the Germans.
But the matter has most practical side, ana
one that no sober-minded American can lgnore
After considering all the facts he has been able
to gather concerning the lynehing of Robert
Prayer in Illinois, Attorney General Gregory
doubts his having been guilty OF any offense
The crv of the mob is that it Is protecting
American bows at the front, but the reverse Is
true and the attorney general says that ne
greater wrong can be done to our soldiers IN
France than that of lynching Germans In
America. as such acts viii be seized upon by our
enemies as iustifying severe reprlsais. Mr.
Gregory has not exaggerated the evil of lynch
ing nor does he overstate the case when he
saws that. unless the hysteria which results LII
the lynching of men is checked, it viii create
condition of lawlessness from which we will sui
fer for many years.
While there is special danger at this time IN
the mob violence that finds its victims among
alien enemies. lynching is reproach constantly,
and. apparently, willingly borne by some OF our
states. 1t is not peculiar to the south. though
more frequent there than elsewhere The IN
terest shown by the department of justice IN this
matter is timely, and something worth whlia
should result from Mr.. Gregory's appeal to the
American Bar association.

THEY LOOK THEIR PARTS.

Senator. Sherman, of Illinois, declared in a
recent speech that one had only to look at the
brutal physiognomy of General Won linden
burg to know that no reasons founded in right
and justice would have an effect on him. Apro-
pos of this it is related OF General Hoffman,
one of the Prussian commissioners who forced
on Russia the infamous Lityosk treaty, that
when he made his announcements as the repre-
sentative Of the kaiser his face would become
red like beetroot and his eyebrows would swell
enormously and overhang his eyes when
glowed like those of an animal in rage. Who
has seen the portraits Of the men now prominent
in Germany, Ludendorff and all the rest of
them, without the feeling that their cruel, AFRO
giant visages showed what manner of men they
are? Compare their faces with those of Joffre,
Foch, Haig, Pershing and other allied COM
manders and they almost seem to be of another
race of men, Greedy hard ren1rseless, their
faces indicate their utter lack of spirituality,
compassion, nobility and sense Of justice that all
their acts have shown. They are men for whom
might is right, for whom there is no higher law
than force; and they look their parts.
