sfrWEtH HARDING AND HAvNER.

The governor and the attorney gen
eral have locked horns in such a
manner that one or the other is like
ly TO lose a horn before the locx is
broken. The attorney general inter-
prets the law as mands tory upon the
executive to consult the board OF
parole in pardon cases, rules that the
Rathbun pardon Is void and commits
the defendant to prison to serve his
sentence. The governor replies that
Haver IL not governor Of Iowa nor
shall be and that he is going TO see
about it. The attorney for the defense
asks for a habeas corpus and the
habeas corpus proceedings are set for
the middle OF next week.
1t is well enough that matters have
taken the turn they have. The habeas
corpus proceedings will bring the
| matter Of the pardon into open court
That Is where it belongs. II the judge
| holds that the law does not require the
governor to consult the board or the
pardon will stand; If he decides other
wise the defendant is out of luck in
that court. But the matter will be
threshed out openly.

the attorney general is incidental to

rHsEt AMERICAN GUIDE POSTS.

This year more than any other
within generation Washington's
birthday has peculiar significance.
Wa shing,on was the first president OF
new republic, the experiment OF
which Abraham Lincoln spoke at
Gettysburg. Washington's presidency
marked the breaking Of ties and en-
tanglements with Europe. Lincoln's
presidency endured while the question
Of human slavery was argued in the
last arbirament. And now we are
come to question as important TO
the future Of this country as '"e
revolution or the civil struggle.
Perhaps the three great American
leaders TO whom the public mind turns
when confused and doubtful are
Washtn gtoa. Lincoln and Roosevelt.
They are the TRINITY OF American his

trusted O: all the splendid leadership
which has been granted the American
people 10 follow.
Any attempt 10 twist the utterances
OF Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt
into an Endorsement of an information
alism which would involve and en-
tangle this nation with every squaebfe
Of the eastern hemisphere and every
disputed island in the seven seas will
bly, fail. None Of them said or
believed anything that can be tor
tured into such approval or indorse-
ment.
Strong. sensible men. idealists Of the
possible and rot T'ss.ohary millenialists
were Washington and his TWO mighty
companions on the high pedestal OF
popular trust and esteem. democrats
but not oolshevid asking for what
might be and doing what might be
done. They are guide posts to the
greater American future as they were

THE coloaEp TROOPS FOUGHT sosly.

The reports from the Colored troops

endures 10 .h!s day. IN this war
across the seas the colored regiments
engaged brought honor &c their coun-
try and their face. Again the colored
troops fought nobly. Citation upon
citation fell to the negro troops.
They carmel much for themselves
and their race that will not be theirs
unless it is given them By the nation.
Willingly and purposetuIy the south

to give couor is due Of equal oppor-

be given with ;he dominant race.
But the colored men nave earned
the right to ask and receive from the
United States OF America direct as
sistance in education and vocational
training that VIII afford every colored
child equal opportunity to earn a good
living. That IS the first essential
OF good citizenship-to be able 10 earn
a decent living and TO earn Il. The
avenues 10 employment must be op-
ened wider 10 the colored race. They
will not be widened until the capacity
and technical knowledge Of it's mem
oers deserve admission.

Oil Shortage Forced
German Miitarists to
Ask Sudden Peace

Oil experts Of the United States
have come to the conclusion that one
Of the chief reasons for Germany's
complete and sudden acceptance Of
peace terms was her stringent insult
ficiency of petroleum products. This
was evidenced by the sporadic efforts
Of her submarines, which could not
operate uniformly and in accordance
with the admiralty program. In ad-
dition, the lack of activity of Ger
man airplanes and the fact that she
could not operate tanks, except on
limited scale, seemed to prove con-
clusively that oil was unobtainable.
Gasoline and the larger supply of
her oil came from Roumania
Galicia, and in small part from Ger
man crude. Another source was
from retorting coal, Ignite, peat, and
shale. Products of coal and other
volatile fields were undoubtedly
utilized for motor fuel, while the
cracking process and synthetic proc
ess Of passing hydrogen over hot
carbon were likewise employed to
meet the enormous demand when the
country found her oil supplies wan
ing.
The effect OF the armistice with
Austria meant complete cutting off
Of oil supplies, with the result that
Germany signed the surrender that
halted hostilities.

Passing Of Old John
Barleycorn Is Boon
to Motor Industry

Says one motor car builder, who
is also a bit of a philosopher:
Old John Barleycorn is getting
ready to take the count. By next
July he'll be groggy and by January
/, 1920, the average citizen will not
be able to fiji thimble. What will
this mean for the automobile in
dustry7 A great deal, viz:
/. There will be few motor car
accidents, because rum has been at
the bottom of most disasters.
2. There will be fewer arrests
for spreading, because it is rum that
makes the auto go.
3. The pest of the roadhouses
and their bars will be removed,
thereby enhancing touring for
those who don't care for barroom
lettering and the pursuits thereof,
4. Billions of dollars spent for
booze will be available for other
purchases. The motor car industry
will benefit by this.
5. There will be more alcohol
to put into anti-freeze mixtures
not for the human system, but the
automobile system.

Ackernan Predicts
Prosperous Year for
Automobile Industry

A good idea of American business
mems attitude toward the future
might be found in the experience
of S. E. Alderman, sales manager
for the Franklin Automobile COM
pany Of Syracuse, N. Y. In The in
terests of the company. Mr.. Acker-
man has, within the past few
months, held sales conferences with
Farnklin dealers in practically all
sections of the United States. AS a
consequence, his analysis IF business
conditions is national, rejecting the
spirit of the country as a whole, and
not influenced by any particular To-
cal condition.
The result of this widespread in
vestigation can be viewed almost as
a complete assurance that, despite
the short time since the United
States was in the midst of war, 1919
will prove the most prosperous year
this country ever saw.
Steel and coal production and
farm crops are the barometers by
which the clouds of depression or
the sunshine of business prosperity
must be measured" says Mr.. Acker-
man, "and certainly the readings are
clear enough at this time" Facili-
ties for the production of steel have
increased tremendously during the
past year, as also the production of
coal. And in practically all the ag-
ricultural regions the outlook is
most reassuring.
With this greatly increased pro-

duction, large markets are required,
and these are readily available
through the greatly increased buying
power at home and the pressing
need for American products abroad
With our company these condi-
tons are already being felt. Even
though our productive effort has
been especially vigorous, the demand
exceeds the supply by large mar
gin, and the pressure is increasing
