A republican exchange has the following editorial comment extent
e alleged government frauds, read and be convinced if it strikes you
• The Republican United Slates Senate and the administration art* j
. lx* oougTutuJated upon having begun the investigation of the. alleged j
auds in connection wiitth oil leases and in which it is charged that cer-j
dir public officials have bee*n guilty of betraying their trusts A prima I
wrie case has been established, but. we do not .presume to pre-judge the j
wised parties. They may be guilty or innocent. but that, is yert to lx* j
(itermiaied. Hut the ipromptineas with which our government has taken j
matter up wflth 11m* view to determine the facts of the case- will re- i
ssure the public mind.
••Irregularities in government administration are no new tiling, nor
re prompt measures on the part of Republican, administrations to ferret
ut the truth and to punish the guilty. Tin* infernal revenue frauds in
onneertian with bonded whiskey at St. Louis. hi which a member of
‘resident Grant’s cabinet was accused of nonKpOoity is a case in point.
Jeneral Grant, like some other of our presidebts, was a man who trusted
da friends. Naturally he would have every confidence in his official
tousehold. liis cabinet, ;t» would adi presidents. But President Grant did
uot hesitate When, the frauds were brought to his notice. Friendship,
van last .sight of in the public good, and his order. “Let iro guilty tmin
’■scape," has become historical.
“In the present unfortunate case the midnight inter of President
“oolidge is likely to become ais famous as President Grant’s tea's*- pro
nouncement. The eat fere statement should be read and preserved We
reproduce it in full as follows:
“It is not for the president to determine criminal guilty or render
judgment in civil causes. That is the function of the courts. It is not
for him to prejudge*. I shall do neither, but when fact; are revealed to
mo that require action for the puu-poee of insuring the enforcement of
either civil or criminal liability, sue* aejion will be taken. That is Uhe
province of the executive.
“Acting under my direction, the Department of .Justice has beeai
ohfcervTng the course of the evidence Which has been revealed at the
hearings conducted by the Senatorial committee invetstigating certain oil
leases made cm na-va.l reserve*. which I beiinve warrants action for tihr*
ipwrase of enforcing the law and protexjLlng Che rights of Che public.
This is confirmed by reiports made to me from the committee. If there
has been any crime it must, be prosecuted. If there has been any pro
perty of the United States illegally transferred or lea.sed it must be recov
“I feel the public is entitled to know that in the conduct of such
actions no one is shielded for any party, political or other reasons. As
I understand men are involved who belong to both political parties, and
having been adviBed by the Department of Justice that it iB in accord
with former .precedents. I propose to employ special counsel of high raiuk.
drawn from both political ’parties, to bring such aations for the enforce
ment of the law. Counsel will be instructed to prosecute these cases in
the courts so that if there is any civil liability it will be enforced: if
there is any fraud it will be revealed, and if there are any conltracts
which are illegal they will be cancelled. Every law w?ll be enforced and
every right of the people and the government will be* protected.”
“So far as the administration is concerned there is to be no secrecy.
'The puMc is entitled to know.’ No one is to be ‘shielded for any party,
pofittical or other reasons, but exact justice is to be dealt out to all.
“Both the Senate and administration have treated the* matter in the
same spirit. There has been practical unanimity in the Senate, without
regard to party lines. No corruption will be tolerated, nor will the
public interests be allowed to suffer.
“We congratulate anew the Senate and the president, bat, mare than
afl beside, we congratulate the people of the United States because their
interests are In aoch safe hand®. ‘Guilt will be punished. . . . every
law- wIH be cm forced and every right of the people and the government
will be protected’.''

INTOLERABLE CONDITION OF OUTLAWRY.
! Thoughtful people iu tihe United States are giving serious consider
ation Bo the unlawful liquor traffic In the United States, and the coovfc
i tion everywhere is that conditions in the large cities are now intolerable.
| A method for enforcing the prohibition law must be worked out or tfhe
J saib* and use of light wines and beer must be allowed or thore will be
! serious consequences in the country.
j The Detroit News is exposing the conditions in that city where it
U«ys there are 10,000 blind pigs in which liquor is sold, operating without
J the law. as compared to 2.334 places where liquor could be purdluased be
| fore prohibition went into effect, It declares that there- have been 07
1 killings directly attributable to the unlawful liquor traffic since 1910
i and probably many more that have that as a cause. It quotes Judges,
i prosecutors, and polfce as saying that it is impossible to enforce prqhibi
tion in Detroit, and the' Detroit News alleges that he whole United States
Army would be inadequate hero. Among the bootleggers, tilve News says,
the law of the jungle rules. They war against each other, and all sorts
of crime, robbery, bribery, blackmail and even murder, hold high carni
val in the underworld which operates outside .>f the law.
At the bust election on that subject. Detroit gave a wet majority
of over 32.000 the actual vote was wet. 80.203. and dry. 56,404—and
officers of the lew. Hvfludiog trial judges, who are wrestling with the sub
jects. say that it Is absolutely impossible to enforce a law where public
sentiment is opposed to if.
The differences between the condition in Detroit and other largo
clti<w are in the degree and. jierhaps, some of the phases of outlawry.
The New York State <uot city) Chamber of Commerce went on
record by a votp of 15 t<> 1 (there were nearly 200 votes cast! in favor
of amending the Volstead Act soa-s to permit the sale, under Government
regulation or otherwise, and use of light wines and beer. It did so in
the interest of law and order. This was not ;« gathering of people who
profit through the sale of liquor nor was it a gathering of politicians. It

traffic in it,.
The National Convention of the America

Federation of Labor, in
•took part, recently voted as did those New York business men. They
represented a different and more numerous class of American people, and
they voted for light wines and beer by ev.-n greater unanimity than the
New York business men and for the same reason-—the restoration of law
and order in the country.—Exchange*.
It KIN DUE R STEAK COMING
( From the N. Y. American.) ,
I)id you ever eat. rein-deer meat? Probably not. but y<« will bo- j
fore long. Reindeer meat from Alaska.
Alaska’s annual contribution of reindeer to the American meat sup
ply will eventually be of more value to the country than the godd Alaska
sent us in the palmiest Klondike days.
The Esquimaux ami Lapiand<«rs are raising hundreds of thousands of
reindeer in Alaska at this moment. Or. rather, the doer are raising
themselves. They graze in the open all the year round, feeding; themsel
ves in Winter on lichens under the snow. The tme value of Alaska is
as a reindeer range.
At the present time reindeer venison nioa-t is being delivered in
Scuttle us cheaply as beef. Soon it will be coming in shiploads to New
York, to become a part of the average man's died.
In other words, snow-bound Alaska is furnishing us with a substi
tute for the disappearing cattle of Western ranges, converted into farms.
The census tolls us that from 1911 to 1021 our human population
grew from 92,000,000 to 109.000,000. wliile our food animal population
declined from 173.000.000 to 161.000.000.
That’s why meat prices are so high.
That's where the reindeer meat will come in very handy.
HARD TO PL11ASE ALL.
Every man thinks h-ie bursnesx or ipnofegeLoiii is beset with tihe most
Drying and discouraging expertences. 'Hie world enpoets too much of
him and his line. People judge so harshly on ho Utile evidence.
Pew of the active people in the busy fields of life who do not »t some
time or ocher feel that their efforts go unappoeciiated.
The man. who sfits down at a fatale in the dining room of a public
caterer is displeased with much that comes before hint. So few things are
prepared according to hia exact taste. He frowns as he partakes of hds
food. He forgets that the caterer has to cater to a hundred or more
different tames and has to strike an average line.
The publisher of a newspaper is in about the same sort of a position
as the man who caters to Dhepublic appetite. One carters to the mind,
jtlh** other to the body. Both cater to the multitude and have to strike
One reader of the newspaper wants the whole paper summed up in
front page headlines so that he may read quickly and get away. Another
wants the details of every story. One wants political! editorials and tfhe
other wants literary or scientific discussions. Some* of the readers axe
interested only in the social page or the sport page. Others do not look
at these pages. Some study the market page more closely than others.
A great many enjoy the discussion of moral and refligious questions.
Some few devour the sensational and salacious. AM read the advertise
ments and find fault if the typesetter left a letter out or got one too
To such a critical public goes the publisher of a newspaper daily.
Did you ever try the Job of pleasing severaa thousand different minds
daily? If you have not. try it just one week and then pity the poor pub
lisher of the newspaper. His is a trying task, though he does try so
hard to please a/H.
The newspaper publisher worthy his calling does try to strike an
average line so that he sfliaiM each day offer all of lids raaders something
to feed on and enjoy. He can only average it up, though he would be
false to llfci calling and to b«s patrons did he not stress the higher and
better things of life and soft pedal the questionable and immoral.
Law breaking is on the increa^, and to In lawmaking,
there is some connection.—-Han Francisco Bulletin.
