"Wittout or with offense to friends or foe I sketch your world exactly as it goes." BYRON Sapping Our Liberties By a decision recently handed down in New York, one of several similar decisions, private citizens are not permit ted to place on their own envelopes, which they are paying the government to transmit, legends that represent their sincere convictions. The case in question was fought by the Civil Liberties Union in behalf of a committee favoring a pardon for Tom Mooney, who is serving a life sentence in a Califor nia prison on a conviction since proven to hare been framed by perjured evidence. The organization issued stickers bearing slogans such as "Pardon Mooney Innocent." Letters bearing them were stopped by the New York postmaster and the Civil Liberties Union sought an injunction before the federal courts to re strain the postmaster, which was refused by Federal. Judge J. Coleman. Yet the government itself utilizes the mail of private " citizens for all sorts of propaganda. Mail is stamped in large letters "Join the Citizens' Military Training Camp" or "Airmail Saves Time" or some similar legend. It even per mits the boosting of scenic attractions, like out National Parks, with slogans on the cancellation stamps. It issues spe cial stamps for expositions and celebrations, and even adver tises commercial products witness the present stamps em blazoned with electric lights. The use of Drivate correspondence for commercial and other publicity by the government is assumed a divine right but the use of private correspondence for non-commercial purposes on their own stationery by citizens is banned. Such decisions show how our liberties are being gradually sapped and undermined and how hard it is going to be when a real instead of a petty tyranny is at issue. They reflect the slow but steady wearing down of popular rights through judicial interpretation and bureaucratic usurpation. Exonerating Murder "Why Dry Killers Go Free" is the caption of an article in the September Plain Talk by Walter W. Liggett, who quotes official records to show that only live out ol tne in leaerai prohibition acrents involved in the killings of United States citizens have been punished. The 'sentence of one of these five was commuted after a year, one received three years, one was fined S100. and the verdict reversed, one (an in former") received one-year-to-life, and one six-months-to-three-years. ' Prohibition agents who murder on suspicion go free, the author declares, because the federal government ams inem in evading justice. Jurisdiction is wrested from the state courts, federal district attorneys are assigned to the defense and federal judges "instruct the awed jurors that they must acquit if they find the dry officer killed the victim in the nerfnrmance of his dutv." Some of these slayings have been in self defense, but in large proportion of the cases, victims have been snot in ine back and killed when they were fleeing arrest for the mere misdemeanor of possessing or transporting liquor, otners have been killed before they had a chance to flee and other reputable citizens have been slain while operating autos or motor boats on highways and waterways witnout tnougni 01 violating: the nrohibition laws. The histories of several of the more atrocious killings are given by Mr. Liggett, who declares: Tha mnrda id the nrohibition bureau fairly reek with human blood, and In man; Instances the victims either were entirely Innocent like Vlrkula, Hanson, Thomas, or Jones, or at in worst were gw.y n sru llnt misdemeanors. Yet. notwithstanding the long list ot casualties, ot men slaughtered on mere suspicion, shot down for fleeing arrest, or slain for throwing away a pint of moonshine, Mr. Seymour iowman, essunani secretary of the treasury, la charge at the enforcement of prohibition, thumped his desk and declared. "There hasn't been a single Wiling in which the prohibition officer wasn't wholly Justified." Rewarding the Steel Trust How tariffs are manipulated in behalf of great interests "was demonstrated anew, in the senate tariff bill, when Senator Reed of Pennsylvania ex-counsel of the United States Steel Corporation, induced the senate finance com mittee to put mamranese. an ore used in the making of steel. on the free list, where the steel makers want it, over the pro-' test of American producers of manganese. - The House had allowed the present duty of one cent a pound to stand and the Senate committee first accepted this rate, even broadening it out to apply to ore of low content. The sudden change of front, followed the announcement that the steel trust bad signed a contract with the Georgian manganese trust of the Soviet Union to buy annually 80,000 to 150,000 tons of manganese for five years. Pressure from the White House is said to have influenced the action. The steel industry uses 649,136 tons of manganese ore a year. In 1929 American mines, mostly in Montana, pro duced 140,000 tons with tbe aid of the one cent duty. The treasury by reason of the duty collected $8,064,155 of reve nue which will now be sacrificed by the roturn of the ore to the free list.- On the Steel Corporation contract alone the trust will save between $5,000,000 and (6,000,000 during the life of the contract The Steel Corporation also imports manganese from Austria and Brazil. Here we have the tariff utilized to penalize American mining interests to enhance the already fabulous profits of the steel trust, which supported the Republican party in the recent campaign ana ja securing iva i-umiiciisuuuu m iicvm privilege. - ' SEAPLANE FOR SAFETY URGED OVER CHANNEL Parts (LP) A great fleet ot giant seaplanes to replace the present cross-Channel air liners and the construction of airports , on the Seine and Thames are suggested by tne Belgian airman. Captain Willy coppens. . . . His suggestion follows the disaster to tbe London-Par la-Basle air giant. uny oi Ottawa. In the English unannel recently with tne loss of seven lives. Including one American. willy coppens, winged hero of the war on tbe Western Front, has been long an advocate of floats for planes crossing any considerable expanse of water carrying heavy loads of passengers. Although the English Channel Is only twenty-onej miles across at the shortest points. ioppens contends mat tne quarter' hour of thereabouts required for i heavy commercial plane to cross is too long for the machine to be away irorn iana. Thousands of crossinzs ma be made in safety, but tbe time comes when something happens, perhaps not serious enough to cause an ac cident on land, and the eiant nlun- ges' into the waves with its cargo ox numan me. T have crossed the Channel bv air 130 times in a machine without uoata and always considered it risk." the Belgian declares. T mi. eluded long ago that a catastrophe was necessary to call attention to tne danger. The catastronha has aoppenea, alter otners less terrible ana i now believe It right to stress the lesson and urge the construc tors ot transport air liners to atuav floating airplanes or amphibians and encourage transport companies to employ them in nreforenr fnf the 'mixed' air lines, that is to say wnere iiignt over both continents and sea are involved." Consulted on the scheme aim lane manufacturers themselves declam flying boats would certain? hnUi be safer and more convenient. They could land on the Setae near the Place de la Concorde and the Chamber ot Deputies and, corres pondingly, on the Thames near the Houses of Parliament in London. At both terminals, this would en able a saving of three-nuartera of an hour auto Journey from city to air iieia. The type of giant flying boat now used in the regular daUy service be tween Southampton and the Chan nel Islands Is favored for the service. Coppens' augestlon la not llkelv to bear fruit for some time, how ever, since both French and British air lines have nut in construction entire new fleets of luxury planes on wneeis ana tne cost of super seding these and their existing iieets oi air giants would run into many millions of dollars.

Vienna (U Should tbe world ever tire of lass and decide to rid herself ol her aaxaphonlst and other syncope tors ail she need do 1 to ship them to southeastern Europe in cages addressed respectively to the various gypsy chief tans. And she can do likewise to those bril liant statesmen who aat around green tables Just after the World war and - hatched black plot for the division on Europe, This may be done with the cer tainty that nothing will ever again be heard of either Jaza friends or the treaty maker. Also everyone may be sure that their fate will be the worst possible, the reason for this being that Jaczed music and even more jazzed national frontiers together have deprived the gypsy folk of the one mean of earning an honest living which any of their blood has ever cared for or ever employed. Coming from somewhere In Asia several centuries ago the gypsies under tne leadership of their val das" first halted their caravans and pitched their tents in what Is now Rumania and Hungary. Here and to a certain extent in the nearby countries ec round, cecnoio- vakla, Bulgaria, Jugoslavia, and Austria most of them have remained since. A few. more hardy or more nomad tc than their fellows, sought new land across the sea but most of them restricted their wanderings to countries which could be reached m covered vans. In that Dart of Euone which formed pre-war Hungary the gypsy was particularly hannv. and here he more or It i established bis home. Barn with a musical ear and with sensitive fingers capable of repro ducing on the violin the sounds which reached his ear. it did not take him long to realise that In the Hungarian folk-tongs there was something which found a ready sponse In bis soul and which aroused In him a desire to reproduce this something in hi own way. Hungary as a national state was left by the Treaty of Trianon a mere slice of its former self and a population which had only enough money to keep from starving and none for the gypsy musicians. If he stayed in Hungary the irvnsv bad to tighten his belt, move often. and resort to petty thieving which eventually landed him In Jail If he emigrated to Czechoslovakia or Ru manla to Join his fellows there his fat was even worn feeoaua even . those Hungarian living la these state who had no money to pay him were not allowed to engage or even to permit nun to play hie tune near their house. Some young gypsies art them selves learning to play Jan. Other art being placed by the authorities In schools and in workshop. Tat other, who prefer to die rather than surrender to such modernity, have returned to the caravan of their family to live in the open until exposure kills them.
