SHUTS FOR PREMIER.

Sir Philip Gibbs has precipitated lot
of discussion by nominating Jan SHUTS
for the next premier of Great Britain.
The British premier. as most Americans
know. is the real head of the British en-
pire. possessing power greater than that
of any other ruler in the world, with the
possible exception of the president of the
United States.
The audacity of this suggestion lies in
Englishman or a Britton, but a full
blooded Boer. who fought against the
British in the Boer war. That is hard for
BritOn to forget. even after SHUTS has
ruled South Africa fairly and ably for
years as premier of that dominion, and
has proved his loyalty to the empire most
amply throughout the World war and
since. and has undertaken the Herculean
task of bringing Ireland into agreement
with England, and is rated by many capa-
bic observers besides Sir Philip. in many
! lands, as the ablest and most honest
Header in the British empire today.
| If Lloyd George steps down, it would
can standpoint. Lloyd George is recog-
nized as an able OppOrtunist. He gets
| things done. But his ideals are not high.
SHUTS is regarded by his admirers as a
man of vision and answering integrity,
with Imagination enough to strike out in
to new paths and the strength of mind
and will to succeed without trades or
tricks.
Yet Great Britain has never had any
but a British premier, and is hardly
ready yet to accept one. Some day,
though, it will surely come. The domin-
ions are growing up. South Africa, Can
ada Australia and New Zealand are to-
day held to the mother country by little
more than sentiment and self-interest.
They are asserting themselves in London
more and more strongly. The present i'm
perial conference has shown them al
ready out of hand. 1t is only question
of time when they will stand forth as
equals in a British federation of repub-
| lies, with equal claims to the foremost
places in the central government, II the
empire is to hold together at all.

THE DELUGE OF OIL.

The crude oil output of American
fields, and this includes those of Mexico
and Colombia, is shrinking every day.
Presently we may expect to learn OF an
increase in the price of gasoline and lub-
ricants The law of supply and demand
is busy at the same old stand. The war
years. and those which followed, wit
messed unprecedented demand for petro-
leum products. The natural result was
a feverish activity on the part of pros
pectors and drillers. throughout our own
Southwest, in Latin America, and IN sub
Arctic Canada. New fields were discov-
cred and new pools tapped. Old proper
ties in every section were developed IN
tensiveIy. and the result was flooding
of the markets of the country, and the
world. with crude oil Then the market
broke and producers discovered that
prices had fallen below production cost.
Prospecting continued, for the oil oper-
ators see far into the future, but drilling
came to a sudden stop.
Today. for the first time in decade,
the world finds itself with the greatest
potentialities for oil production in his
tory, with more good drilling territory
available than ever beforehand with a
world consumption which has failed to
keep pace Decreased output seems the
obvious remedy for the situation and, of
course, arbitrary restriction of produc-
tion cannot but bring sharp criticism.
Price-making always does, under circum-
stances such as these. But, in any event,

President Grants Veto.
lSt. AIbans AIessenger.)

1t has been brought to the attention of
President Harding that General Grant
when president found it wise to veto a
soldier bonus bill, measure that would
have given extra compensation to the
very men he led in the Civil war. 1t is
not to be supposed that President Grant
took such n step without great reluctance.
for 1T is only natural that he would have
been more than glad to have rewarded
his boys But the condition of the
treasury did not permit it. and as his
charge was that of the larger good of the
nation. the veterans as well as the rest.
he returned the bin with his veto.
1t nowhere appears that the Civil war
veteran suffered in the long run from that
veto. SO soon as the nation was able to
assume the burden proper care and At
tention were given the matter and we
have spent billions of dollars on the yeter-
ans of 81. Nor is it at all likely that the
veterans of the World war are going 10
suffer because, for the time being the
proposed bonus legislation has been nut
to one side. Time works its changes and
brings about new conditions The Mes
senger predicts the time will come when
the World war veteran will profit moro
from the present delay than he would OBJ
tain if the bonus bill were passed at this
time

Mortified News

Let's get this right. The international
Paper Company's different plants have
been having an argument with their help.
We presume it is over wages, hours of
work, etc All right The men were
given a certain time in which to return
to work. They did not see fit to do this
All right No. .. Naturally the Interna-
tional Paper Company wanted to keep
their plants in operation. for the news
papers of the country want to keep NOV
ing. What did the International Paper
Company do. sit down and say they
couldn't run because, their help would not
work: No. not for minute. They found
plenty of men willing to work. even with
the odium of being called strike breakers.
The company in trying to open their
plants and give men work who arc will
ing to take chance are subjected to the
usual methods so well known to those
who have had experience in these matters.
One town in New Hampshire has even
requested the company to withdraw these
men who are willing to work, telling the
state authorities there is liable to be
trouble. Nothing new in the above. but
it is refreshing to keep it before us occa-
sionally. Taking the above condition as
fairly representative of all such cases, is
it any wonder people are getting sick of
condition that leads to such things ?
Any town whose officials will not protect
any man wanting to work ought to be
taken up bodily and dumped into the sea.

The Truck Menace.
{ Bennington Banner.)


The city of Rutland has taken a sensi-
BILE step in fixing regulations under which
heavily laden trucks may be used on the
new city streets Bonds of ST.
600 each from the owners and
operators of the trucks which
are limited to certain routes and
must not exceed a fixed load. Every town
in Vermont ought to be empowered to fix
reasonable regulations of similar import.
On hard and dry roads trucks do little
damage. During a wet spell they often
do an immense amount of damage in a
short time. Trucks are necessary, but
there is no good reason for letting them
do as they please, to the financial injury
of the town and to the discomfort of
everybody who uses the public roads.

the ultimate consumer can take heart.
With so much crude oil in sight and al
most ready for the market, he can feel
sure that the danger of such outrageous
prices as prevailed recently is far re
moved. The motorists and users of lub-
ricants may congratulate themselves on
the fact that several years at least must
elapse before there can be any risk of
shortage. Gas and oil prices are due to
spend some time on lower levels.
