WOULD STEAL FROM THE BLIND

Tho automobile has afforded facili-
tics TO banditry. 1t has much to be
responsible for in the ease it affords
Tor rascals TO make their getaway.
Now comes an added charge that it
affords convenience to petty thieving.
Recent Investigations made by the
National Motorists Association re-
veal some honest dispensers of saso-
line. out more crooks who are prac-
Using methods Tor filching part Of
that for which the motorist pays good
money. In many instances there was
. shortage of two pints to every FIVE
Snllons, which IL 1t occurred in all
Eases would mean that the motoring
public Is paying ninety million dol
lars fer gasoline which it doesn't re-
ociye. Hardly petty thieving in the
aggregate but shamefully petty steal
ings in the individual instances.
Rascals like those would steal from
the blind.

Sonia of the "Village"
Wins Fight for Life

New York, Sept. 12-Greenwich
Village, that Bohemian center re-
garded as perpetual fountain of
mirth, for a time was threatened with
its little tragedy, but now the tale
has taken a new turn and the happy
ending is in sight.
A few weeks ago, Sonia, the Cigar
cite Girl, was stricken desperately
i'll. Heart disease, a strange form, the
doctors said.
For weeks she lay in a hospital
ward, pale and wan. And very lone
ly was Sonia, for she found that her
village friends, the poets and painters
who laughed with her and blew smoke
rings with her in cellar and garnet,
had deserted her.
On the walls were none of the gay
tapestries, the paintings and the
sketches in which she delighted. The
sounds which came to her were omi-
nous sounds, lacking the music and
laughter which to her had constituted
life.
Sonia is only in her twenties.
Youth rebels at grim hospital walls
and white clad doctors and nurses,
with their stethescopes and mysteri-
Gus charts.
But now doctors say that Sonia has
won her fight-that soon she will be
discharged.
Everyone knows Sonia in the Vii
lage. In her snocll and sandals, she
could be seen any day walking bare
headed through the alleys of the Lat
in Quarter, shaking her'bobbed head
violently when engaged in argument
over Bellies Lettres or the theories Of
Freud.
Sonia-she has last name but in
the Village she is known only as
Sonia-is Bohemian. Thousands of
out-of-towners who have visited the
Village have seen her slipping from
table to table in the fantastic tea
rooms which the Village boasts. ca
johing the merry makers into buying
a package of her cigarettes.
Sonia is versatile. Now she would
make little money at one thing. at
other times at another. Sometimes
she would make nothing at all.
Once she went to Boston and there
staged a Bohemian dance largely at
tended by Harvard. undergraduates.
Arrangements went bit awry, the
dance was not wholly a success. and
the police reserves had to be called.
A few months ago. she opened
little shop of her own in the Village.
To her stock of cigarettes she added
erudite tones and fanciful batiks.
Then she was stricken.
Her acquaintance tried to find her
family. They were all dead. she said.
She smiled mysteriously whenever
she was asked whence she had hailed.
She just appeared one day in the

THE DYER BILL

Either Congress has the power to
pass effective legislation against
lynching, or the United States cannot
protect it's own citizens from murder
and their property from destruction
at the hands Of their fellow citizens
who are subject to its jurisdiction
It can impose burdens, but it cannot
defend rights. 1t can tax, but it cam
not save the taxpayer. That lynching
is a nation wide evil, that no action
by the states can be expected and
that the evil should be abated for
the sake of the nation quite as much
as for the sake of those who suffer
by it must be conceded.
ITO admit that tie nation is pow
erless to abate such an evil and to
protect its own citizens is to admit
that our government is weaker than
any other civilized government. This
is an admission which we should be
ashamed to make"
The above Is from brief submitted
by Moorfield Storey and which was
reported by the majority of the Sen
ate committee having under consid-
Grafton the Dyer lynching bill. This
is the opinion Of one prominent au-
thority in favor Of the constitution
alty of the measure, which is the
feature of it most strongly attacked.
This bill having passed the House
ham fo h11r frny,, fh
Senate committee of the judiciary is
expected soon to be brought up in
the Senate for action.
The need of restraint upon lynch
ing cannot be disputed successfully.
The Herrin massacre emphasizes that
need, which is seen to be confined to
no section of the country. After long
delay the State of Illinois has moved
and indictments are being found
against the lynchers. This is better
than often happens in the South
where the lynching of a negro seems
to be regarded a minor matter. OF
the 1924 persons lynched in the
period. 1Ss9-1921, 2,706 were negroes
practically all of whom were lynched
in tho South
Under conditions as at present our
Federal Government that makes de-
mand on foreign countries for protec-
ton OF the American citizen within
their limits is helpless if citizen of
one Of those countries happens to be
lynched in one of our states The
Federal Government can go into the
State and arrest violaters of the pro-
hibition amendment and it would
seem as though it ought to have the
authority to do this in the case of
those who burn others at the stake.
While the central Government should
be used charity in the work of doing
that which the State should do for
itself, there ought to be some way
by which the State might be held
accountable for its neglect to per-
form the duties ascribed to it.
