The Constitution" Senator Lodge
SAID, creates representatv We democ-
racy and divides the government into
three great branches. The intents and
purposes of the makers of the Constitu-
ton were that no one of these branches
would usurp or trespass ON the powers
|, of the other two.
MIR. Wilson has, throughout his ad-
minstration. steadily sought to usurp
the functions of the Legislative branch.
SO tried to ria-'e a government of one
man. The country is conscious of this
attempt and intends to bring il to an
end = -
"Acts of n Napoleon
His acts arc those of 4 third Ma
poeon. We are fairly familiar with
one example of his autocratic rule. Tn
der the Constitution the Pres dent has
the sole right to negotiate and draft
treaties. but no treaty can become the
law of the land except by a two-thirds
vote of the Senate. 1t was impossible
for Mr.. Wilson to secure a league of
nations without the consent of the Sem
ate. His plan was simple. He aimed
to compel the Senate to ratify the
covenant of the league by attaching it
to the treaty.
col. House has recently stated that
he thought that if the policy of Sepa-
rating the treaty from the league had
been pursued we would have had
peace with Germany Immediately
after the armistce. What a benefit
it would have been"
Senator Lodge then described what
had happened to the treaty and the
league covenant, and said the cove
nant had been sent back to the Presi-
dent
The treaty is in good hands," said
Senator Lodge, because nobody cares
for it as much as he does. This was
one great attempt on the part of Mr..
Wilson to usurp the functions of an
other branch of the government"
Senator Lodge attacked the methods
of the President in conducting nego-
tiations with foreign countries
through his personal agents. saying:
He sent men like John Lind and
William Bayard Hale to Mexico. al I
though he had ambassadors, appoint
ed by himself. Ii Europe his ambas-
sadors played a very small part in ne
gotiations between our country and
the countries to which they were ac-
credited. He negotiated through his
personal agents. like House, Creel,
Heron and some others This is the
method of the autocrat."

Unlike most bird refugees, Perce
Rock, picturesque island near Perez
village; the east and north cliffs Of
Bonaventure island, three miles further
away; and the northernmost of the
Magdalen islands, 124 miles out to sea,
have been set apart specifically to pro-
tect birds whose value to mankind is
chiefly their beauty as a part of ma
ture.
There is no attempt to argue, for
example, that the gannet, the kitti-
wake, or the razorbill aux should bs

cause they are birds.
No human being may steal an egg

SEEK GOLD IN THE ARCTIC
Adventures Are Now Prospecting the
Coasts Of Baffin Bay and
Davis Strait.

| One Of the really pathetic stories of
modern history Is the mutiny Of Henry
Hudson's crew when he was exploring
the arctic waters Of North America,
and his abandonment, with his son, in
that vast inland sea that bears his
name, a writer in the Brooklyn Eagle
remarks. Many lives have been sacrl-
feed in the quest Of the North and
South poles" Sir John Franklins and
the }eannette's parties in the north
and the recent Scott expedition at the
south only need be mentioned.
Plans are afoot to open up the Baffin
bay region to commerce. For many
years small steamers have been max
Ing summer visits to Hudson bay to
trade with the natives, and the Cana
dian government is building railway
to one of its ports. Railroad and com.
mercial development Of Alaska by
American enterprise has caused pros
pecting of the mineral resources of
the coasts Of Battin bay and Davis
strait, with the result of finding, at the
former place, gold in sufficient quanti-
ties to Justify development, and coal
of excellent quality along the latter.
The latitude Is about the same as that
of the Yukon region and only few
degrees north of that Of Nome, which
has developed into large community.
So impelling Is the lure of gold that
the hardships of an arctic climate will
not deter adventures from hazarding
their lives against the wealth said to
be buried under the eternal snow and
ice of Baffin island.

PROSPECTS APPEAR VERY BRIGHT
FOR DIES Laos WESTERN OIL CO.
Ga Spoung from North Dakoa Deepest Well at Intervals
Preparations Made for Early Spring Operations

The Des Laos Western Oil Co. is
making valuable history for the state
of North Dakota and that the people
appreciate this has been manifested
by the manner in which they have
purchased stock in the concern.
The company has maintained a
very accurate Log Of it's operations
which appears in comprehensive
manner in this issue of the Business
Bulletin and this Log, together with
samples taken from North Dakota's
deepest well, drilled by the company
on the Blum project west of Minot,
will be turned over to the geological
Survey upon the completion of the
WELL
When winter set in the well had
been drilled to depth of little more
than 3,1OO feet, by far the deepest
hole that has ever been sunk in the
ground in the state. While the well
was drilled for the express purpose of
securing oil in commercial quantities,
from a geological standpoint, the dis
coveries will prove Of great value.
No work has been done at the deep
well since winter set in. At that time,
the conditions were very favorable for
striking the oil sands, known as the
Dakota sands. Manager Henry S.
johnson declared at the time the drill
ers were right ON the verge of enter
ing the Dakota sands and that he fully
expected to enter the sands within the
next few feet. He is just as confident
of this today and is looking forward
with the greatest expectations to the
time when the drilling operations will
be resumed, which will be winthin the
next five or six weeks. Mr.. johnson
bases his opinion entirely on the state
ments made by oil experts, including
some of the best known biologists in
the United States. The superinten-
lent in charge Of the operations,
states that he will complete the well
within ten days after resuming opera
ions.
There are suspicious things happen
ng out ut the Blum well these days
which cause the manager and those in
'harge of the work to smile in q conf
lent manner. The we'll belches up
,reat quantities of gas at various in
ervals. There is something very
much out Of the Ordinary going on

down there more than a half mile be-
low the surface of this old terrestrial
sphere and Manager Johnson fully be-
lieves that 1T is caused by nothing less
than the oil seeking it's freedom.
The Des Laos Western Oil Co. is
now negotiating for the purchase of a
second big standard drilling outfit,
which will soon be on the ground, for
spring operations.
The company has taken it's stock
off the market, but at recent stock
holders meeting, it was decided to
place on sale limited number of adj
ditional shares at $500, the money to
be used for further development. y

has not been entirely an enviable
task. Many obstacles have been en-
countered, but they have all been
overcome; many delays in drilling
have been experienced, due to various
causes, but with dauntless courage
and a tenacity of purpose Manager
johnson has stuck by the proposition,
and his firm determination is that
when they drillers are through drill
ing the Blum we'll will either be pro-
ducing oil in paying quantities or the
company will know without any doubt
that there is no use seeking further.
In other words they will stop at no
halfway point. -

the skepticism of the public must be

What he does say is that they hAve
