"Without or with offense to friends or foes 1 sketch your world exactly as it noes." byhon. Justice? "Nicky" Arnstein, central figure and master-mind in a $5,000,000 bond theft at New York has been released from the federal penitentiary where he was received May lb, rjzi on a tvfo years sentence for conspiracy. He served one year and seven months or about one month for every quarter million dollars stolen, and probably considers it a most profit able investment. The moral that "Nicky" points to adorn this tale is how much more profitable it is to steal millions than it is to steal -a few cents, or than to be guilty of the still more heinous crime of taking a drink or other infringement of the sacred commands ol the prophet Volstead. Three young men recently received at the Oregon state prison, convicted of securing a few dollars by robbing a service station and second-hand store, who resisted ari'est, got respectively 15 years, 5 years and 2 years for about $40 worth of loot or some 22 vnar.q. a vear for everv two dollars. i'iivee other villians from Southern Oregon have recent ly been locked up in the state baslilo, II. C. Conway, and two youths, Wra,' Short and Joe Palmer. For the dastardly crime oi having a still, Conway was sentenced by the just jurist to 5 years in the penitentiary, and the two youths who were ac cused of assisting him, were each sentenced to 3 years a total of 11 yfcars for a first offense! This is an example of justice as it is, and as it works in this great and glorious erstwhile land of liberty. A 85,000,000 theft brings a penally of 2 years in prison. A $40 theft a total ot 1 years. A Volstead first violation a total of 11 years ! Knows No Bounds Apparently the rapacity of automobile stage and truck line owners knows no bounds.

In brief, these destroyers tf the highways not only ob ject to paying a reasonable fee for the use of highways not built for them, object to paying anything for their main tenance, but also in a suit filed today attacking the motor vehicle license law object to paying, the license, assessed in lieu of taxation, against motor vehicles, the proceeds of which pay for the construction of the highways through retirement of bonda predicated thereon. - .

But what do the truck and bus owners care so long as they can make a few more dol lars at public expense? Such suits are the direct result of the paternalism that doles out national aid to states in a plan of cooperation where by state rights of control and regulation are bartered for a low dollars which the stato mnsr mntcli w fi,i n,i system entrenched throughout the land, its ramifications insidiously extending in educational work as well as reclama- jiu.i, um vauon, nignway construction and other branches to the destruction of state rights and the stimulation of fed- Love s Greatest Gift By VIOLET DARE A FIIFKN1) IN NLIICD Mnry telephoned to the club which sho knew that Pat Hamilton used aa on address for his mnll whenever lie was not In tlio city Hamilton had left town, sho learn ed, bo alio wroto hi in a note, tell ing mm in.it sue wunted very much to hvo him, and nsklnff hi: to let Iht know when ho returned, Kho. did not know Just what to no. she would have to find nnoih- (' position at once, of course; sho v.hert that alio could afford to . iiio even a weeks rest befor I ntiiiff for work, but that was Im- K.sslble, when sho needed money badly.

Thon you'll have to get, some somewhere," ths woman answer ed. "Certainly U can be arranged. 'But I haven't done anything." Mary persisted. "You daughter Is mistaken about me. I never went out with Mr. lilake but once, when there was some work taht he had to talk ovor with me." "He had all day to talk It over , didn't he7" the woman replied. "He'd been at his laboratory all day," Mary explained, wearily. "Ho usually was; I really saw very little of him " "But you went out with him a great deal In the evening," the woman went on. "You were seen by people who know Stanley Blake." 'No, I didn't; I never wont out with him excopt that once," Mary Insisted. 'Well, of course If you're dcterm ined to lie out of this " 'I'm not lying!" replied Mary wondered how long she would have to-trotect Celia. If only Cella had n't gone awayt Suddenly, angry at the other girl, she decided to tell the whole truth. "It waa the girl who lived with me she was the one who went around with Mr. Blalco. Ak him it that isn't so!" The woman merely smiled and played with her lorgnette. "So you'ro going to tell that story, too," she remarked. "That's what Stanley said. At least you've arranged to stick together, you two Don't you see that that only makes it worse for you? To try to make us believe that, so that you can stay here with him? I suppose you think you can go on pretending to work for him if we accept that story? Well, you'll just have to take your medicine, my girl, and manage somehow to leave town,! or things will be very unpleasant for you." "But but you con ask my land lady hero and see if I've gono out nights. She'll tell you that I've always como home," Mary pro tested. "No doubt! Probably my son-in-law hoa paid her well to aay what ever ha told her to aay. He's much too clever not to think of that. Now, I haven't any more tlmo to waste with you. I've told you what you'll have to do, and I'd advise you to do it at once. Otherwise things will be vory unpleasant for you, I assure you." Mary turned about and walked slowly out of the room and up the stairs. "There's nothing they can do to me, nothing!" she told herself. But she that there was But she knew that there was. Mrs. Blake could sue her husband for divorce and name Mary: it would got Into the papers, becauso of the social prominence of Mrs. Blake's family. Mary's name would bo mentioned ns correspondent, of course. And because she had no money with which to engage a lawyer, she'd just have to let things take their course She had just reached her room and was oloslng. the door behind her when the telephone bell rang on the floor below. A moment later she heard her landlady rapping on the radiator In the hall four times. That was tho signal for heri She ran downstairs and ovor to the telephone. "Mary? This Is Pat Hamilton." Mary felt as If a weight had fallen from her shoulders. "I've just come back to town and found your note hero at the club. I'm coming to got you at once will be there In about fifteen minutes." Mary hung up the receiver and leaned against the wall, trying to pull herself togcthor, Now that an end of her troubles was in sight she was exhausted by the strain she had gone through. How won derful it was to know that ahe had someone to help her!
