provided that pipelines should be
common carriers, and regulated as
to rates and practices by the Inter
state Commission. The commission
undertook to enforce it's authority,
and was promptly enjoined. The
Commerce Court sustained the in
junction, and the case went to the
Supreme Court. There, the powers
of the commission have just now
been broadly confirmed.
But in the eight intervening years,
vital changes have come into the
great oil industry, especially in the
Middle Western fields, Because this
law was not being enforced, the very
scheme and system of commercial
development in Oklahoma has been
changed; changed, too, in the inter-
est of the powerful forces that want
ed to fix their grip just as firmly as
possible on the oil resources of that
region; changed.to the disadvantage
of the individual producer, developer,
explorer; changed to the injury of
every Independent producer or re-
finer.
Such delays as these, in these two
notable cases, command consider
alton. Governmental supervision
cannot be of much ultimate efficiency
if there is forever to be this same
privilege and opportunity for delay.
1t will not do to say that after a
while the big questions will all be
settled, and then the era of delays
will end. On the other hand, new
questions will continue to arise, and
delays will more likely be Of even
graver consequence,

Enemies i'm Civil War
Meet in Picture Studio

Fifty-one years ago. in 1859. q Con-
federate scout lay all night In
shallow creek watching the Union
lines. A Yankee sentinel watched
him. and was prepared to shoot II the
Confederate moved. A meeting that
vividly brought back the thrilling
days Of the civil war and particu-
larly this hair raising incident. when
they were enemies and fought each
other for the glory OF the blue or
when Scout W. H. Taylor and D. r.
Crane recognized each other on

KEEP AT 1T.

We have had occasion before this
to note that before beginning to fear
the worst from prospective Federal
legislation, it is well to await disclos-
ure of the Senate's attitude toward
it. Whether it deal with currency or
trusts, a bill may go from the Sem
ate to conference vastly different
from itself as it came to the Senate
from the House.
What will happen to the more in
tensely radical features of the anti
trust measures, now that a really de-
Lucrative body has taken them up,
we will not prophesy in extenso. But
if the bills must pass, as pass they
must, we can at least take cheer
from the manner in which the Sen
ate committee is going after and
correcting one of the most egregious
blunders made in them.

POLLS

Whiie We have our own ideas about
tne picking Of such a play as The
Vhslnian' Tor summer evenings en-
tertainment. the audience at Polls Thea
ter last evening was more than salts
NED with the way 1t was presented And
this satisfaction was expressed In many
tense silences. which. when you anaIyze
the play, are even greater tributes to
the ability Of the people presenting 1t
than applause would be. The Virgin
IAN Is a play that Is full of tense mo-
ments. albeit the piece Is a sketchy
sort OF thing, that only approximates
the real story owen Wister told in his
book. The major part Of the audience
that attended last nights performance
was particularly interested in seeing
Richard Buhler as THE virginian'' and
Ixetta Jewel in the part OF the New

attention thus centered on them by pre-
senting the two characters with the

spot In the Poll production to this re-
viewer. Corbett is one OF the cleverest
actors playing In stock, and had been
asked before the show I would have
preferred to see Corbett than Frank
Campeau in the part Campeau made
famous. Corbett's makeup was excel
lent-for an Indian. In his presentation
of the part he seemed to be doing II "a

THE SPEER REPORT

Judge Emory Speer, of the Fed
eral bench for the Georgia district,
has been a long time under investi-
cation by the House Judiciary Com
mitee. Charges gravely affecting
the judicial conduct of Judge Speer
have been exploited.
At the conclusion, after a long
delay reaching a report, the subcom-
mittee makes report which severe
ly criticises the court, but declines
to impeach him. 1t seems rather
a remarkable conclusion. Thus the
committee says at one point:
An examination. of the record in the
case Is suggestive Of the fact that early
In his judicial career Judge Speer as
Certained the limit to which he could
go before liability to impeachment for
official conduct would accrue and went
as close to the line upon many occa-
sions as safety would permit.
That accusation, if it is sustained
by an examination of the record as
a whole, would seem good ground
for impeachment. 4 horse trader
might be permitted to "ascertain the
limit and go as close to the line as
safety would permit" a Federal
judge, deliberately adopting the pol
icy of doing this, at the beginning of
a lifelong career on the bench, is
not fit man to be judge. There
ought to be way to remove him.
Either the committee has done
Judge Speer injustice in this sum-
mary or else it is doing less than
its duty in refusing to impeach.
Farther on the report condemns
Judge Speer's conduct, while reit-
Grating that it does not believe he
could be removed for what he has
done. 1t says:
The subcommittee does feel that the
record presents a series of legal oppres-
sions and shows an abuse Of judicial
discretion which, though falling short
Of impeachable offenses, demand con-
demnation and criticism

future are marked by the rigorous and

GREECE AND THE BAT
TLESHIPS.

The government of Greece wants
to buy two semi-obsolete battleships
from the United States. Turkey, il
is understood, is anxious to con.
vince the United States that it ough,
not to sell them to Greece. The two
countries are on the verge Of war.
1t is pretty well understood that
if Greece had these two big fighting
craft she would gain such an incre-
ment of naval power that Turkey
would not dare to force a war. In
ether words, it is a very tangible
case of preparedness being the best
preventive Of conflict.
So long as the great nations con-
tend that they build navies in order
to prevent infractions of the peace
this argument on behalf of Greece
ought to be taken at face value
Greece is as much entitled to use
that argument in defense of buying
battleships, as Britain, Germany
and France are entitled to use it in
defense of building them by the
dozen.
There has been a good deal OF
rather impracticable discourse about
disarming the nations and maintain.
ing simply enough naval power to
serve as an international police
force, pooling the strength of the
various countries in this effort. II
occurs that the proposal to sell these
two ships to Greece would be strictly
in line with this program. If the
two ships, by belonging to Greece
can prevent a war, while they can do
no service at all by remaining in the
United States navy, they surely
ought to be sold.
Without doubt, public opinion in
this country would sustain the Gov
ernment in making the transfer.
Greece has the sympathy and good
will of the civilized world in her ef-
fort to sustain herself against the
overpowering force of Turkey, and
the American people would be well
pleased with an act of the Admins
tration that would help the little
country in such a crisis.
