FEDERAL ANTI-LYNCHING BILL


New York Evening Post: Would the
mob which burned three negroes at
Kirvin, Texas, have been so bent on
its atrocity if it had known that every
participant who could be hunted out
by federal officers would be imprison-
ed for from years to lifes Would the
sheriff have been so ready to hand
over the keys of the Jail, had he known
that failure to perform his duty fully
would lay him open to a fine of $4,000
or five years Imprisonment, or both
Would the county authorities be quite
so acquiescent in this horror if they
faced the necessity of paying $4,000
fine immediately-$10,o 900 for each
MANI We think not. The lynching was
peculiarly cruel; two of the three men
burned died protesting their innocence,
the only evidence against them being
the confession of the third, very
likely extorted by torture. One of the
leaders in the opposition in congress to
the Dyer bill, which would provide the
federal penalties for lynching listed
above, was Representative Summers,
of Texas. Yet Texas had 294 lynchings
in the years 1S85-19l9, or more than
anv other southern state save Georgia
and Mississippi. Every such atrocity
is worth dozens of speeches in con
gress as an argument for "wiping out
this barbaric stain, az President
Harding has put it.

So Uncle Wiggily and Johnnie Went
to sleep. And as they slept Nurse Jane
saw that there was enough water OH

at the faucet, still leaving the nozzie

And as Uncle Wiggily and Johnnie
silent. all of sudden along came up
toeing the Fuzzy Fox. The bad chap
said:
"Now / can sneak up and nlppie

he stumbled over a stone, stubbed ms

"Oh, ho! No you don't! You don t

How can you do thats' asked
Johnnie, the squirrel.

Uncle Wiggily tied the nozzle end
of the hose to a clothes post, with the
nozzle pointing up in the air, not ex-
actly straight, but about as santing
skyrocket goes up. Then, when he
turned on the water at the faucet near
the cellar window, the spray from the
hose went up i'll the air.
''But what good is that - asked
Nurse Jane, as she saw the water from
the hose spraying up in the air. 'My

"What goes up must come DOWN."
laughed Uncle Wiggily. "Just wait d
moment!' And, surely enough, after
the water had sprayed itself up as far
as it would go, it began falling back to
earth, dropping on the bed of beans
like gentle rain.
"Hurray!' cried Johnnie cit s

ed Out on Maryland Reel
procity Plan.

AS soon as the Maryland legislature
adopts the bill providing for a 2-cent
tax on gasoline in lieu of the present
horsepower fee as the basis for auto
mobile reciprocity with the District
the A. A. A. will endeavor to find out
just what the majority of Washingto
motorists think of the proposal.
This statement was made today by
NJ. o. Eldridge of the good roads bu-
reau of the A. A. A. who conferred
with Engineer Commissioner Keller
yesterday afternoon.
The Maryland senate and house have
already adopted and sent to the gov
ernor for signature a preliminary bill
providing for 1-cent gasoline tax,
but this law is intended merely to
wipe out a deficit in Maryland road
building and is preliminary to the Sec
ond bill, under which it is proposed
to bring about reciprocity.
Under the second bill, which has
passed the Maryland house and is
pending in the senate, the present
horsepower charge would be substi-
tuted by the 2-cent-a-gallon gas tax.
Maryland officials have announced
that they would agree to recognize
District tags if the National Capital
will obtain similar gasoline tax law
from Congress.
Mr.. Eldridge said that when the
Second bill is enacted in Maryland a
public hearing might be held here to
sound out the sentiment of Washing
ton motorists.
The District Commissioners have not
decided what their stand will be on
the plan, but they have indicated
clearly that they intend to be sure
before approving the change that it
