The Ketchikan Chronicle laments because of the short term in jail that was drawn by Harry F.‘ Sinclair. It says It is true enough that Sinclair is in jail | just like a penniless chicken thief or pick- pocket. But it opens that he is serving | just about as long a sentence as a petty offender of that variety would serve. And his offense was somewhat more serious than | stealing cl ns or picking pockets. * * * Sinclair is getting off easy. Think of how much the Teapot Dome oil field is worth, consider the fact that many a man has been imprisoned for five years for stealing as small a sum as $5—and see if you don’t agree. The whole oil scandal proved, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that there is one law for the rich man and another law for the | poor man Doheny went free altogether. * . . The cynical old saying, “If you just / steal enough you'll be all right,” still holds good i One would look for .misstatement of facts and erroneous conclusions in the Appeal to Reason or other publications interested in promoting discon-| tent, but we do not expect to find it in a legiti-| mate newspaper like the Chronicle. We do not hold briefs for Mr. Sinclair or the law enforcers of the |young mining engineer. \own outdoor lin the United States and Canada, the Metropolitan | the data published yesterday on deaths from alco- he would probably have a moderate fine imposed upon him—particularly when the point was sq doubt- ful that lawyers disagreed about whether or not he was legally in contempt. As for Doheny, it must be taken into account that he, too, got nothing from the Government through his lease of Elks Hill. The lease was de- |clared void and the Government has possession of the property—plus the proceeds of more than $10,000,000 of expenditures by Mr. Doheny. No newspaper is warranted in misstating facts— particularly when writing editorials that can only serve to arraign class against class. It is not entirely the scenery and water that go to make Canadian summering places the popular resorts they are. Brcad(h_uf the Mining Industry. | (Engineering and Mining Jourpal.) Under the caption “Big Buiness Goes Collegiate,” F. P. A, in the New York World, reprints an ad- vertisement from the New York Times, reading as follows: Amateur Baseball Pitcher Wanted—Large mining interest located in Eastern Canad offers an opportunity to a young man; applicant will be placed in engineering, cler- ical, or other work suitable to his training; give education and baesball reference. Z 2023 Times Annex. Graduate mining engineers are not the only cl of youngsters that the mining companies are looking for in the spring. In fact, a good pitcher may easily assume considerable ‘more temporary im- portance in a mining camp than an equally good In out-of-the-way places such as mining camps, where professional sports do not penetrate except through the medium of the daily paper, the employees must provide, their recreation. Baseball is popular, and small inter-company' or intra-company leagues are by no means uncommon. No one cares a great deal about one team of dubs beating another, so it is usual to secure outside talent, especially for the pitcher’s box. Hence the advertisement re- printed above. Usually there is a league rule against professional players, or paid performers, s0 it is up to the company to find a suitable job, and we suspect that the company mentioned is going to find itself with at least one extremely well-paid clerk or time-checker this summer. In the Tenth Year. (New York World.) With more than eighteen million policyholders Life Tnsurance Company has a broad enough base for its figures to make these figures imoprtant. In helism there are three significant facts: First, after a slight decline in 1927 and 1928, the death rate from alcoholism has again resumed an upward march from the minimum it reached in 1920, the first year of prohibition. Second, at its present figure (3.8 deaths per 100,000) the death rate is at its highest point since 1917, three years before the experiment began. Third, the death rate from alcoholism in the country, but we find too much disposition to mis-| represent both. \ In the first place Mr. Sinclair did not steal Teapot Dome. Teapot Dome is still the pmpm!y of the United States—plus a vast amount of ‘devel- | opment work done by Mr. Sinclair's company at great cost to itself. In the next place we musm assume that Mr. Sinclair never attempted to stenl| Teapot Dome because he was acquitted of every! criminal charge made against him. And yet Iurther,: the crime for which he is serving time was com- mitted on the advice of his learned counsel. He| was found guilty of contempt of court for refuslngi to comply with the demands of the Senate Com-| mittee which was investigating his transnchom' It was admittedly a close case. It did not involve moral turpitude. It was a sort of offense that usually brings a fine. He is probably serving in jail on .account of his prominence and wealth. Ity an average man were to commit contempt of court FOURTEEN TO O’COND LEAVE FOR OR DELAYED, WILL United States, which has tried to solve the prob- {lem of liquor with a Federal prohibition law, is 3.8 per 100,000. The death rate from alcoholism in Canada, which has sought to achieve temper- |ance by other means, is 1.3 per 100,000. These ifgures are mare gnstructive: than bfoad- | sides from the Anti-Saloon !
