Washington, jan. 1s.---A little com

have fed from the Bolshevik rule.
These refugees, she says. are prac-

sors. geologists, chemists, bankers, ar
fists, engineers and students. She re-
calls DR.. Charles Cranes statement
that more Russia " with professional
ability We're crushed by Bolshevism
than by tho Tartar invasion which
shook Russia centuries ago.
Naturally the Princess is against
the Soviet government. She believes
that It is nSaring q collapse, and that

JUSTICE TO THE BLIND.

MI. =. tx. van trump, SnuTulan OF
the Delaware Commission for the
Blind. has sent the following COM
10 Every Evening:
The article entitled Books for
the Blind, by Mr.. Frederic ]. Has
kin, Is much appreciated by those
interested in the blind and In their
library. This article differs from
most OF the matter published on
this subject, in that It gives
facts in a clear and excellent
style. We assure you that books
for the blind are most import
ant subject in this country at this
time and for the amelioration for
the condition of our intelligent
blind.
II the writer's elation, after sew,
ersl years OF darkness, could be
presented when an embossed book
was placed in his hand Git was
John Gilpin's Ride)," this sub
jeet would be clear.
Now ii 10 hoped that the new
library will open blind depart
ment with stan and location
and facilities which will not only
attract the blind. which will seek
its resources for recreation and
pleasure. but also their more for
tunate sighted fellow beings, who
may reach out to some sightless
one who may not know his privi-
lege. The great hopes OF the In
telligent blind are on this subject.
C. r. Van Trump.
The suggestion that the new librar
open a department for the blind shoul
net fall upon unheeding ears. 1t
Every Evenings impression that som
other cities maintain such depart
ment IN their libraries. Knowing tina
the librarian and all officials In chars
OF our public library are forward
looking citizens who approach the
duties from tho point OF renderin
the greatest service TO all classes {
the public, we are certain that III
idea falls upon rich soil.
OF course there is the matter I
expense. Braille books-and othel
published with raised lettering-al
expensive. But we do not belle,
that such a handicap will prove il
surmountable. In many respects Wi
mington IS one. OF the richest 9th
in the United States. Its roll Of mi
lionaires is a long and impressive on
Its wealthy citizens can be nam,
by the hundred. This. is a well-t
do community. and one which HI
never been backward In spending
funds when the well-being Of al
particular worthy set has been
stake.
II would cost comparatively lit
10 establish the nucleus of a bill
library. That nucleus could be add
TO from time to time, even as [
library is augmented by new boo
today. We would not look upon II
as a matter OF charity. 1t is nothi
OF the sort. 1t is really a duty tn
we should perform to certain Of o
citizens who unfortunately are not
the same state OF physical being
the rest OF us. -. Let us do
in the name Of justice.
