The president is directed to secire counsel and institute pro- ceedings in federal court, and to cancel the leases, if fraud, bribery or other crimes or misdemeanors are discovered to exist. There has been too much smoke already stir- red up in the matter to permit of the slightest application of whitewash in the interest of any person connected with the situation. It seems incredible that many of the charges will hold water in court., Yet true or false, they should be and doubtless; under the presi- dent’s direction, will be. sifted to the bottom. | The public is not figuring on a Roman holi- day, where honorable men will be figuratively butchered or dragged through the mire of dis- grace, nor will it view any such spectacle. The matter is altogether too serious. It brings forcibly home to the people whether or not| the highest officials of the government can be trusted not to betray them. If guilt or wrongdoing anywhere along the) line is uncovered in the courts, those perpetrat- | ‘ing it must be adequately and promptly punish- ed, regardless of their standing or importance in the country. The honor of the government is at stake and poities is adjourned. The nien’ involved@must The disgrace bears upon the whole people. The unworthy example if proven is unfit for the sight of the rising generation, Two Party System It is important to the success of our form of government that the two great political par- ties maintain their organizations and their readiness and willingness to serve the people when they are called to power. Political par- ties are vital to the life of the republic and no republic of the past has long existed without them. The two party system has demonstrated its usefulness in many ways, not the least of which has been the general check the one party exercises upon the other. The fixing of respon- sibility for works of good or ill upon the party in power is as old as the parties themselves. | The public thoro the parties. Discouragement of minority parties Trepresent- ing an idea or a single issue should be practic- ed by citizens and directing heads of both the Republican and Democratic parties. These con- tingents are wholly without standing or politi- cal responsibility and have no fixed status be- yond a single campaign. In view of conditions existing ‘today, the highest patriotism consists of the alignment by every citizen with one or the other of the estab- lished parties. Blocs and political parties bas- ed on single issues have no proper place in our system. At this crit time, they are pogitive- ly dangerous. Every particular citizen should return to his former party obligation. Militant minorities are a serious menace. Honest dif- ferences of opinion should be worked out in the regular party organizations. The many small, but vociferous groups in Congress are prevent- ing needed legislation. Their influence is just as pernicious as that of the striking Boston policemen who were scored by a Coolidge epi- gram. It is curious to consider that the Separation of the legislative and executive departments by the founders of our republic is serving us well today. The Administration at Washington is able to function completely, except for appro- ughly understands this, so do priation bills, without the aid of Congress. There is serious difficulty in England, because of the customs of the cabinet automatically relinquish- ing office when the dominant party sustains de- feat. Public opinion should be aroused so that min- ority parties representing usually one issue will be forced to affiliate with their former parties, The situation in Congress today, is critical. It amounts to a virtual defeat of the constitution- al Legislature. It is not possible, as it is in England, to create a coalition form of govern. ment. _ There should alwzys [ be ample opportunity within party lines for the expression of new ideas and the formulation of new policies. The two parties e capable of investigating any situation which may develop. Each party de- sires to win and will be influenced by any Movement which appears to have public opinion behind it. No citizen of the United States is too big or too good to be a member of either the Republi- can or the Democratic arty. No Political Capital The strongest and ablest among the Demo- eratic newspapers of the country is the New Lork Times. It sees no room for political capi- tal in the Teapot Dome affair which promptly vindicated or promptly penalized. | 1 rT occupying so much public attention. The Times in an editorial op’ expresses these senti- ments: ! “That the Fall scandal will have political consequence is undeniable. The American peo- ple would not be what they are if they were so insensitive to official wrongdoing as not to wish to visit dire punishment upon those re- | sponsible. Undoubtedly the first effect will be harmful to the party in power. It ought to be, Any Administration will suffer rightly if it al- lows the moral’ fibre of its subordinates to 33 to eaten out by corruption. President Coolidge in no way involved in this, but he will have bear a part of the burden of what went on un- Sri Hee ephedrine ST gr Administration ready setting ou! do by following to the end every trace of dis- honesty or fraud and running down crim- inal, no matter how highly placed. The evil already wrought can be largely overcome, in a political sense, by such vigorous stamping out of its remnants as the President is pledging himself to undertake. “Meanwhile, the country will have little pa- tience with small-minded men who rush to make party capital out of a national humiliation. What the people want most of all just now is not partisan taunts, but a whole-hearted and non-political endeavor to cut this cancerous poe clean out of our hinged life. When that is done it will be time eno’ to apportion party praise or blame. And in striking that ance the people will be able to form their own judg- ment, withont indécent promptings by petty politicians who run before they are sent.” The Atlanta Turtledoves Down in Atlanta, Georgia, is ae enacted, it is hoped, the last chapter of a breach of promise case instituted by Onezima De Bou- chel, a young widow against Asa G. Candler, Coca Cola king, eighty years old. The heart balm desired is the modest sum of half a mil- lion dollars. The case has reached the stage of reading the illuminating correspondence ex- changed by the principals, which for pure gush has not*been equalled by lovers young or old in many a long day. It is only the prominence of ‘the defendant in the case and his monumental asininity that attracts public attention. The old sport should long ago have kept his mind upon ascension robes in place of upon wedding garments and saved himself the humiliation of being held Md to public scorn at the end of a successful busi- ness career. Of course Onezima was at no time desirous of being led to the altar by an old bird of eighty hard winters. What she did desire from the start was to wed the old boy’s bank roll and no doubt would have brought herself to submit to the marriage ceremony in order to accom- plish her purpose. Candler should have had a guardian a long while ago to keep him out of entanglements and the clutches of designing females. Now that he is in, he onght to be s: enough to enable Onezima to marry the man of her choice. A woman by that name would never have been a fit mate for Asa. It would have been too much to ask that they live hap- pily ever afterward. Ay | Strike a Snag It is being noted that if Great Britain yields to the demand of her dominion representatives for. preferential treatment in the markets of Great Britain for Dominion products it will run up against a snag. In the first place, Great Brit- ain does not wish to put a duty on raw mater- ials and foodstuffs in order to establish a pref- erential duty on Dominion raw materials and | foodstuffs, as the effect would likely be an in- crease in the British costs of such products, Still, such a preference might be created if the Dominions would give free access to British manufactures in their home markets. But this they are not inclined to do, because the people of these same Dominions are so set on extend- | ing and expanding their manufacturing indus- tries. They see in increasing diversification of production freedom from the thralldom “of low prices on their products when the latter include manufactures. The greater the diversification, the Dominions find, the greater the yalue of their products, but this is impossible if the mother country is to have free access for hone made products in the Dominion markets. Britons are seeing more of the seamy side of things, nowadays, than ever before. A Home Or a Car -The commission investigating family welfare in an eastern state, reported to the legislature, stating that many tenants complaining of high rents are owners of automobiles. The commis- sion did not hold this up as a crime against them, but finds in it the text for a brief sermon on economical living. It admits that automo- biles are desirable articles of property, but points out that garage rent, upkeep and expen- ditures incident to running an automobile in- evitably make drains upon the family purse and that “it should be the aim of every family to own its home even though great thrift must be exercised and some luxuries sacrificed to attain this goal.” Curiously enough, this preachment will be approved and welcomed by many peo-} ple who are themselves guilty. They recognize the truth of the principle involved, though they do not recognize the right of anybody to apply it to them. Undesirable Citizens One may fall very far short of treason and yet be an undesirable citizen in the community. The man who becomes Europeanized, who loses his._power of doing good work on this side of the water and who loses his love for his native land, is not a traitor, but he is a silly and undesirable} citizen. He is as emphatically a noxious element in our body politic as is the man who comes here from abroad and remains a foreigner. Nor ing will more quickly or-more surely disqualify a man from doing good work in the world than the acquirement of that flaccid habit of mind which its possessors style cosmopolitanism. — Theodore Roosevelt.

Aside from the hauling cost the additional yie’'d of one ton per re represented an increased net approximately $8.00 ‘an acre to beet growers of Piatto county. Nearing Completion - DOUGLAS—The Sinclair pipe line built for the transmission of the ol} from the Teapot Dome to Freeman, Mo,, near Kansas City, is nearing completion and {t is announced that of will be moving through the Une by March first from the tanks at Clayton, The line across the mile- wide Platte river at Kearney, Neb., was finished Tuesday. The com- pany secured the use of the county bridge at that point to carry the pipe thus avoiding the expensive and difficult task of anchoring it on the bottom of tho river. By next Saturday it is expected tha the connecting link in the line will be finished and in two weeks the pumping plunts completed. The cost of the line is sald to be $26.- £00,000.

The Thermop- olis company is capitalized at $2. 600,000 and is to build a 2,000 bar- rel factory. The first links of the highway to be paved, according to present , are those between Casper lenrock, and between Ther- mopo'is and Greybull.
