FUEL FOR WARSHIPS.

If we are going to build warships,
it goes without saying that we must
provide fuel for them. If we are to
have battle cruisers and scout cruis-
ers capable of sailing circles around
anything else afoat, we must have a
plentiful supply of oil to feed them.
The naval experts say that oil-burn.
ing engines are indispensable for
such craft; with coal they cannot
make anywhere near the speed ex-
pected of them, or have the same
cruising radius.
The government has a plentiful oil
supply "in underground storage" but
IL the bill favorably reported recently
by the senate public lands committee
should be come law large amount
of that oil will pass into private
hands. The bill is intended to legal
ize certain entries on mineral lands
that were withdrawn from entry by
President Taft in 1909. These lands
are situated in California. They are
said to represent the best part of the
petroleum supply remaining in the
hands of the public. There are other
deposits available for public purposes
in California and Wyoming, but the
navy department estimates that they
would last the navy only fifteen years
In time Of peace or five years in time
of war. Some Of the men interested
In opening the oil lands to private ex-
ploitation insist that these estimates
are wrong-that there will still be
enough oil left to run the navy for
several decades. even on war basis.
But as long as there is any doubt
about it. Congress had better safe
guard the public interest and take no
chances.
The oil lands, once alienated, can
not be restored for public USE. And
II the big navy of the future has to
buy its oil from private corporations
1t commercial rates, it will immense
" increase the nations navy bills.

Wayne Madison CT. Barney Sherry.
Madhon is sprung from an old fam
lily anu is used to Difference on that
account. Horn despises Madison for

spect. When Madison tells story at

by saying he had heard it ten years
before and, that 1t was old then.
Madison has invested heavily in
West Central stock. Horn determines
to ruin the social luminary and manip-
ulates the stock SO that it keeps fall
ing. Facing disaster, Madison sends
for Horn and wants to know what his
terms will be t. save him financially.
Horn has become interested in Viva
Madison (EEid Markey), the daughter
of the society man. He demands the
hand Ct the girl asthe price for rescu-
ing the father.
This is a bitter dose for Madison to
swallow. However, for the sake of the
family he tells the girl of Horns
terms. She is enragedat the proposal,
but the tears and pleadings of her
mother and sister prevail When Horn
asks the girl if she win marry him,
she reluctantly accepts him.
He brutally asks her is, she, knows
what price had been put ION her by
her father. This insult soEworks on
the sensitive girl that she calls SER

moved as ever by her disdain and an
ger.
He causes the West Central stock to
go up and the Madison family rejoice
because their fortune is restored.
Horn writes to the girl saying that ne,
of course, took her dismissal as final,
but that had she accepted him under
the conditions he would have left her
father to his fate. Though hopeless
of winning her, he told her of his deep
love and respect for her.
Understanding now the test Horn
had made of her and realizing his
high ideal of .womaihood, the Girl
called him up on the phone and asked
him to tea the following afternoon.
Gladened by the good news, Horn
smiles and whistles for the first time

.scRAPPING" THE BIOGRAPHIES

oNnAFVlNo TIC oCOonFNTT1IC0
The board of education of West Ho-
boken, N. j., refuses to buy any more
biographies until the war is over.
whats the use?> asks a member,
named Hensel. "Pretty soon nearly
the whole continent of Europe will be
marked Germany, and then the maps
we buy now will nave to go to the
scrap heap
The same sort of argument might
be made by anyone Of opposite war
convictions. It might be remarked,
for example, that more than 100000
square miles of territory marked
German in our present biographies
is actually in possession of Great Brit
ain, France and Belgium. How that
great colonial empire will be dispos-
ed of after the war is even more
problematic than any prospective
changes in the map of Europe. And
how about Turkey? ..
A good many boards of education
doubtless find themselves in the same
puzzling situation as the West Hobo
ken board. The only sure thing
about future biographies is that
there are likely to be immense alter
ations in the maps. Millions Of at
lases will have to be "scrapped.' The
first months of peace will be a flour
ishing time for the photographers
and distressing time for the teach

MAY ENLARGE
NAVAL PROGRAM

.a & j n ID.
Washington, May 30.-Determined
Republican efforts to enlarge the
building program of the naval appro-
priation bill reported by the naval
committee resulted today by the sit
ting as committee of the whole, of
an amendment increasing the num-
Der of submarines.
In order to finish consideration Of
the bill by the time fixed, o'clock,
Friday afternoon, the. House had a
three-hour session today instead Of
recessing over Memorial Day as usual.
So decisive were the votes against
additional battle and scout cruisers
that the bigger navy advocates prac
tically have decided to abandon tn
fight for them, but hope to get the
two battleships.

NOMINATING VICE PRESIDENTS

NOMINATING VICE PRESIDENTS.
Is it too much to hope that the Re-
publican and Democratic parties this
year will depart from an absurd and
dangerous custom, and pick vice
presidential candidates on a basis OF
craftsmanship rather than locality OF
faction?
1t is an opportune time to get back
to the original conception of the vice
presidential Office. 1t was never in
tended as a cipher in our government
al scheme. And it need not be, in
spite of the foolish tradition that has
grown up around it. No doubt the
vice president might we'll be given
more specific and responsible duties,
by act of Congress or the will of the
President. But even as matters
stand, a vice president might fill as
big a place in the government as his
inclination and ability justified.
The fathers of the constitution
seem to have regarded the Office as a
stepping stone to the presidency. It
was so in the case of the first two
men who held it, John Adams and
Thomas Jefferson.
It is admitted by every thinking cit
izen that no man should become vice
president who is not fit to be Presi-
dent. Our history shows how great
is the likelihood of being thrust by
fate into the executive chair. About
one President out of five has failed
to finish his term. For the nation to
be burdened by accident with weak
or incompetent President, as in the
case of Andrew Johnson, is a far
greater calamity than for kingdom
to inherit an unfit king.
And even aside from the possibility
of succeeding to the presidency, it is
a national misfortune merely to have
weak man as vice president. Why
not man of such statesmanlike quail
ity that the President could rely on
him as his chief counselor? Why not
man who could be as powerful in
the senate as a gifted speaker can be
in the House of representatives
Why not vice president who could
assume much of the burden of party
leadership, acting as an intermediate
between the President and Congress
in shaping legislation?
In short, why not make the vice
presidency genuine training school
for the presidency, and also an i'm
portant Office in itself? 1t could be
done simply by nominating men of
high ability, reputation and aggres-
siveness, and expecting more of them
