More Oil Released

The land leasing bill introduced by
Senator Reed Smoot, Of Utah. and
enacted by the Republican Congress
promises to make available additional
sources of oil. 1t is too soon to esti-
mate how much the new territory will
yield but great production is expected
in Wyoming and some sections in CAL
ifornia. Producers are making plans
for drilling in these districts. The
worlds deposits of crude oil total co.
O00. 100000 barrels according to esti-
mates from the U. s. Geological Sur
vey. At the present rate Of con-
sumption this supply would be enough
to last the United States 1868 years.
There are still 1928, ,0OO, 900 barrels in
this country, according to the same
authority which is sufficient to supply
the United States for 20 years at our

Practical Retrenehment

A revised statement made by the
Secretary of the Treasury estimates
the deficit of the Government for the
fiscal year ending June 30. 1920, ut
Sl,3l6, 6,S90,S55. "In response to the
overwhelming demands for economy
in the conduct Of public affairs the
Democratic administration turned a
deaf ear" states Representative James
W Good, chairman Of the Committee
on Appropriations in the House Of Rep
resentatives. The committee is large
ly responsible for the reduction of S2,-
7OO,OOO,0OO in expenditures estimated
by the administration for the new fis-
cal year "Oblivious of the fact that
expenditures were in excess of revenue
the administration demanded from
Congress funds far in excess of real
needs. Possessed with power such as
has been granted to no other admin
istration, it has to its credit no single
act to put the administration Of the
Governments affairs upon an efficient
and economical basis"

Democracy vs.. Autoeracy

Hon. Charles +. Hughes Of New
York delivered an address at the cele-
bration of the hundredth year of the
Harvard Law School He took for his
subject Legal Education and Demo-
cratic Progress" Among other things
Of a special significance in his ad-
dress is this statement:
1--WE went to war for liberty and
democracy, with the result that we fed
the autocratic appetite, and we have
seen the war powers, which are es-
sential to the preservation of the ma
tion in time of war, exercised broadly
after the military exigency had passed
and in conditions for which they were
never intended, and we may well won
der whether constitutional government
as heretofore maintained in this Re-
public could survive another great war
even VIGOROUSLY waged.
Apart from these considerations we
cannot afford to ignore the indications
that the essentials of liberty are be-
ing disregarded. Very recently in
formation has been laid by responsible
citizens at the bar of public opinion
Of violation of personal rights which
SAVIOR of the worst practices of tyran-
ny. And in conduct of trials before
the courts we find growing tendency
On the part of prosecutors to resort to
grossly unfair practices"
This is a strong statement and one
worth pondering over by every Amen-
can citizen with the best interest of
his country at heart for Mr.. Hughes
speaks the truth.

Commenting upon the declaration of
Senator Harding that if he were Presi-

him to use his position to influence
the governor of state in the per-
'formance Of his duties, the New York
World, Dem, says that by his vote
Harding has already demonstrated his
attitude in favor of equal suffrage and
that his attitude toward question Of
state self elf-determination is the only one
he could possibly take. The World

ploring the Wilson policy of trying to

WASHINGTON NOTES
Effective Anarchist Legislation

Washington, July 6-(Special cor
eepondence) with reference to the
johnson bill enacted into law by the
Republican Congress, to exclude and
expel anarchistic aliens from the Unit
cd States, Representative Frank W.
Mondell. Republican leader, said re-
cently: 'lt is hoped that the enact
ment Of this Legislation will put an
end to the combination of farce, COM
edy and tragedy that has characterized
the activities of the administration in
handling dangerous, Objectionable and
criminal aliens since the war began
and down to this time. II has been a
most amazing combination of petty,
persistent and pestiferous persecution
ON the one hand and of aimless, spine
less, purposeless, pettifogging and in
action on other While certain depart
ments Of the Government have been
in many cases over-zealous, inefficient
and unintelligent in the handling and
manufacture of cases, certain other de-
partments, especially the Department
OF Labor, and particularly certain Of
ficials of that Department, have ap-
parently used their appropriations and
their authority largely for the pur-
pose Of shielding some Of the most
notorious of the alien anarchists and
in rendering abortive the efforts which
are made to enforce the law and to
protect the country"

Apparently. then. judgment. poise.
character, count for nothing. These
critics do not want sane, practical
man of affairs for President, who will
content himself with recommending to
Congress the measures he regards as
desirable or necessary for the welfare
, of the country and with faithfully ex-
ecuting the will of the people as ex-
pressed in the enactments of their re-
representatives.. They seem to have be-
come enamored of the conception Of
the President as ''the Real Throne of
Administration and the Frequent
Source Of Politics." and they want
him, in consequence, constantly to be
listening to voices in the air and gaz-
ing at visions on the horizon. decorat-
ing himself with blazing pinwheels,
and turning all manner OF flip-flops ON
the flying trapeze.
1t must, of course, be conceded that
Warren G. Harding is not that kind of
man. He never turned moral, in
telleetual or political flip-flop in his
life. He has no bag of tricks up his
sleeve. He purposes to serve the peo-
pie, not to bewilder them. His con-
eeption of the Presidency is that of
a place in which, preeminently, con-
struction, not contortion, is desirable.
He sees that the nation is sick almost
unto death Of fantastic fads and ex-
travagant experiments, and that it is
crying out for peace, for restoration
of normal life, for constructive and
constitutional craftsmanship and not
for doctrinaire thimblerigging. He has
never thrown kisses with both hands
to crowd that was acclaiming him
as a god" nor aspired to be known
as president Of the World" To be
President of the United States, under
the Constitution, fills the full measure
of his ambition.
The people of the United States will
agree with him. They want Presi-
dent, rot a prestidigitateur; q Presi-

Samson Tractor Company Bringing
Out a New Type of Tractor

For months is has been known that
General Motors Corporation at its
Samson Tractor plant at Janesville,
Wisconsin, was preparing to undertake
the manufacture of decidedly ''dif-
fereat" sort of light tractor in hithei-
to undreamed of quantities. Naturally
not little curiosity was excited over
what sort Of tractor would finally
be announced, the sort of work which
it would accomplish, ard what it might
sell for to the user.
All these questions can now be an
swered Formal announcement has
just been made by General Motors
Corporation that the SAMSON Iron
Horse-known at the factory as Model
"D".-is four wheel drive, short
turn tractor, which drives like team
with lines. The user will be able to
obtain an Iron Horse at the sensation
oil price Of S63O.OO +. o. b. Jonesville.
Wisconsin. and will have a machine
which it ig claimed will do all the
work that might be expected of three
horses, IN addition 10 performing bel,
power work such as grinding. shelling.
wing wood. running cider mil.
portable sprayr., etc.
No doubt the SAMSON Model "D"
Tractor will be called ''The Iron Horse -
by both users md dealers the county
cvcr-for that peculiarly descriptive
name exactly suits it-tells the whsle
story IN three words.
Since the SAMSON Iron Horse
lrives with lines. the operator is able
TO handle both the tractor and an ad-
iunal implement or vehicle, alone
nd unsssist"6. Riding on the impls-
.icnt, he will be able to drive and at
all times control the operation of the
tractor by means Of the lines. A pull
on the right line turns the tractor to
h. right. pull on the left line causes
10 turn to the left and a slight pull
or both lines, brings the .ractor % a
stop.
In draw-bar work, the Iron Horse
win easily handle two or .hree horse
main drill. single disc, harrow, a
mower, a corn-planter, a two-row corr
cultivator, corn binder, a three horse
plow. a hay rake or tedder, a wagon
with a hay loader, a road drag, scrap
er or grader. And when n new cul-
tivator, corn planter or mower is need
ed, it is not necessary for the owner
of an Iron Horse to buy the entire
new machine, as special attachments
are provided for the Iron Horse at
about half the cost of the whole new
implement.
Though but now being formally an
nounced for the first time, the SAM
SON Iron Horse has been tried and
proved beyond doubt, for it has been
in actual use on farms in various parts
of the country for more than a year,
undergoing every sort Of a field test.
All tests having proven satisfactory
in the highest degree, the Samson
Tractor Company is now formally an
nouncing the Iron Horse and the gi-
gantic Janesville plant of the Company
is engaged in quantity production.

model being manufactured by the Sam
