GONE,

~ February 90 the United states Government lost
IL s5OOOOOOOO worth Of oil lands because Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer has failed in his duty to ap
peal the case to the United STATES Supreme Court
The lands go to the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany by default Pamers refusal to protect the public
interest has not a shadow Of excuse He originally had
six months in which TO appeal the case involving lands
in California in which the governments original suit de-
olared the Southern Pacific had defrauded the United
States Government. The lower courts decision was
rendered August 20 1912 The six months expired the
last day Of February.
Palmer waited until December 5 before announcing
that would not appeal the In spite Of protests
from Secretary Of the Navy Daniels the lands contain
part of the naval oil reserve members Of Congress- and
the National Conservation Association Palmer has re-
fused TO act
His failure protect the public interest in this
is made more significant by the fact that Immediately
upon assuming office attorney-general he dismissed
the assistant attorney who in charge Of these
suits
Palmer has made no defense Of his action except to
say that In his opinion, the could not be won on
appeal lie has thus usurped the function Of the court
by deciding the case himself in advance.
Appeals to the President to force him to move have
been Ineffective presumably because they reacned
the Presidents eye personally.
The oil lands in this case cannot be saved. But
when President Wilson discovers what his cabinet officer
has done there should be another Lansing incident
with a little less pollteness.
