Bishop Darlington
Talks About Europe

Bishop u. v. w. Darlington declared
In an address before the Huntington
Kiwanis Club yesterday that bolshev-
ism and the reign OF Lenine and Trot-
sky in Russia were directly responsible
FOR most OF the suffering in Russia and
Poland at the present time and pleaded
with his hearers to do all within their
power TO keep this country clean. and
free OF the forces that have wrought
SO great destruction in Europe.
The Bishop characterized the condi-
tion existing In Russia as "the great
est tragedy since the French revolu-
ton" and painted picture so real OF
the want and suffering among the refu
gees from that country that there was
no doubt left in the minds OF his hear
ers OF the conditions prevailing among
the thousands OF innocent peoples.
Bishop Darlington said that the out
standing feature of his trip through
out Europe was the fact that no one
ever whistled or sang and declared
that apparently joy had left the land.
A condition which he ascribed to the
financial depression existing there at
the present time and the loss OF the
millions OF lives In the great struggle.
The speaker said 1t would be a miracle
IL the people Of Europe. from the Eng
lish channel to the Black sea, recover
within the next ten years.
The speaker said that the next war.
II there Is a next war, will be far more
disastrous than the struggle which
ended In 1918.

removed from office today by Presi-
dent Harding on Recommendation OF
Attorney General Daugherty.
The reason for the removal was not
disclosed by officials.

This Is the first instance in the his
tory Of Kentucky when Federal Dis
trict Attorney was removed or who

resignation. but the latter declined on
the ground that he was entitled by law
to serve out his four-year term, A
threat to remove him followed unless
he should hand in his resignation by a
given time. This he ignored.

eating frauds in the mountain coun-

CRUDE OIL PASSES
THE $500 MARK
Light Somerset Reaches
$2.05 on Second Advance
Within the Week.

II Is reported that Somerset Light
oil has had another advance OF 16c per
barrel. bringing Il 10 S2.05. Somerset
is advanced to si.so. according TO this
report
Since the last report In the NEWS
two increases have been made. car
rying the price from s1.4o and Sl.s5 to
the prices named above.
The advances are bringing the price
near the point where operators can af-
ford to resume drilling. One serious
obstacle still In the way is the price of
pipe and other aupplies tools and ma :
chinery. These things have not come
down to anything near the level OF oil
prices.
The adjustment must and will come
before much deep drilling win be done.
A contract has been signed to pay
the Pennsylvania grade price for Be-
rea oil delivered into tank cars at
Paintsvifie. A local company has laid
a pipe line to Berea field a few miles
distant and the oil will be delivered in
that way.
A regarding OF the Lawrence coun-
ty oil is hoped for by the operators
who claim that they are entitled to q
better price basis.

Pertinent Questions
About the Educa-
tional Amendments

Piso, KY. Oct. 3. 1921.
Editor Big Sandy News:
have all the daily papers I can
read but every Sunday morning ask
for the Big Sandy News and ] see this
week you advise us all to vote for the
school amendments. And before do
ing so will kindly ask you to answer
a few questions.
Is our constitution getting so frail
that 1t should be changed every year?
time, legislation or execution of what
laws we have?
How many counties In the state
failed to elect their County Education
Board Of the same politics as the coun-
ty officers?
As the Education Boards all work
without pay, what kind Of service can
we expect from them?
And last, but not least. is this gov
ernment by the people and for the peo-
pie? Very respectfully.
BUD WILLIAMSON.
(The questions raised in the above
article are very timely and worthy OF
consideration. We confess that we
have no very definite idea as to the
value of the proposltions. but they
hardly can make matters any worse
than at present, with chance for
some Improvement. That is why we
felt that 1t was fairly safe to advise
voting for the amendments. The dream
of taking the office out of politics
probably will end like all other such
dreams have ended. The plan to give
the poor counties ndsdistricts the adj
vantage Of ten per cent extra money to
provide certain standard equipment is
considered good move.
Boards serving without salary may
give some general, attention to the inn
portant duties of such positions. but
they will not get down to hard work
and constant application. 1t is true
also that many salaried officials fail
to give efficient service, but the high
er powers may and should hold the
latter to stricter account for neglig-
ence or inefficient performance. There
is no ideal system. We need honest
execution of thJ laws worse than we
need new laws)

oil SHORTAGE IN
TWO YEARS Seen
Situation Seems to Promise
Better Prices From This
Time Forward.

Words of encouragement are offered
oil operators of Kentucky and else
where in an article in The Wall Street
journal. which says that the low prices
paid for crude oil through most Of 1921
are not likely to recur again.
$50 far as can be seen at present"
the article says. cheap oil Is thing
'of the past. The new condition is due
to the fact that production of vast
quantities of crude oil in Mexico at
low cost ds declining and that in the
future production of Mexican oil will
be better controlled.
There never was q time In the oil
industry when 1t had the advantage of
such an abundance of cheap oil as It
had in the last few years from the
Mexican fields. The producing wells
in that country are located only a score
OF miles in from the seacoast, which
made the cost OF transportation to
market small. The wells yielded pro-
digious amounts of oil over long per-
iods. The Casiano basin produced an
average of more than 100 900 barrels of
oil to the acre. an amount not ap-
preached by any other field anywhere
in the world.
Recently during the glut OF oil, indi-
vidual producers who had no pdpe line
to the coast offered oil as low as 10
cents barrel in Mexico. That oil is
not available for less than 40 cents a
barre! az present HiSher prices VIII
be established In the next few months.
"The two or three companies which
will continue as large producers In
MeNco because Of their reserve acre
age will get prices for their oil that
win more closely correspond with
prices OF American oil. and they will
make more money in their business in
the next few years than in previous
ones.
at is not probable that production
OF oil in the United States win main
tain the average OF 1920-21.
1T is likely that consumption Of oil
will tend to increase over present rates
through improvement in domestic and
export business. The latter ds about
one-half of normal at present. but do
mestic demand holds up surprisingly
we'll in view OF general conditions.
Indications now are for a serious
pinch in oil within two years. Present
big supplies are apt to save the situa-
tion during the next year, but after
then the situation viii become acute,
in the opinion Of those best informed.
In respect to new fields the cost OF
getting the oil is sure to increase. 1t is
not profitable to market oil from South
America with the market for crude in
the United States at $1.50. It will cost
81 barrel to transport the oil through
1000 miles of pipe line, as must be
done from some of the South American
fields. to say nothing of additional
costs to get the oil to market"

DEMOCRAISLOSE
INJUNCTION SUIT
IN HIGH COURT
Cannot Get Names Of Nom
mess on Lawrence Co.
Ballots.

The Court OF Appeals dissolved the
lnis=ssss.cs of the Lawrence Circuit
Court In the case Of ID. b. Adams
againHt w. A. Arlington and others.
which means that the Democratic
nominees for Circuit Clerk, County
Clerk and Magistrates In three dis
ifiete, can not have their names print
ed on the ballots for the November
election. II also means that tho par
~ eemnitsee can not MI the vacancies
and that no names WIN appear on the
ballots In the place of these men ex-
cept when written In by the voters.
The three magistrates thus denied
are ". B, shortridge, Add skeens and
Silas lobe.
This action was the result OF these
candidates failing to file their certih-
eates ef nomination with the county
clerk not later than IS days previous
70 the election. September "a was the
last day and they did not file until the
2eth,
Tho local Republican committee re-
ceivcd notice from headquarters on the
last day. It II reported. to look after
this matter for their candidates.
The Court OF Appeals gave out no
opinion IN the case. so II IL not known
upon what point the case was decided.
II IL not believed the Legislature In
tended that vacancies can not be filled
on a ticket within the as days period.
hut this Is tho effect OF the decision
BY the Court OF Appeals. On such an.
important new point II n regarded al
rather surprising that the high court
would refuse to publish an opinion on
the points involved. The law was
changed In 1918 10 as days. thus catch
ing many persons who knew that the
limit was shorter under the old law.
Al the county clerk has perman-
ent record In his office OF all certifi-
Gates issued, II looks like a foolish law
TO require all candidates TO burden the
fiies further by taking back 10 the clerk
and fiiing the copy OF certificate issued
