Winthrop Protests Agaist
 Importing Postmaster

Winthrop, April 7-(SpeciaD We see from Wednesdays paper that Foreman has the honor of receiving the indorsement of man to be post master here at Winthrop. We make protest for there are as good Republi- cans in Winthrop as anywhere; they have not stayed hidden in the bushes but have been shoulder to shoulder in the fight in iRpublican victory, and remembering ''that to the victor be- longs the spoils". We do not intend for Foreman to eat our piece of pie for our loyal Republicans know how good the old pie tasted eight years ago. a
 Should the Harding administration abolish this Republican idea and re- quire efficiency for it's postmasters ir- respective of party, then we could truly say there is not man, woman or child in Winthrop, but what would support the present postmistress, for she has proven herself worthy and deserving of the job.

You hear everywhere what is the matter with the world is the lack of money Is it? We all have to admit that money as medium of exchange is essential to modern business, but wo do find everywhere an over- valuation of money. We have come to measure everything in standards of money and the results are not prov ing satisfactory. Money will not build character nor buy happiness. We have made the mistake of meas uring most every kind of success in terms of money Has mankind lost the power of seeing before it a greater vision than many colored rainbow with the pot of gold at the end. Who has enriched the world most, Frank lin, Washington, St. Paul, a Knox, a Wesley, an Edison, or one of our modern kings of finance? Our public prints are full today of the exposures in a divorce suit of America's most famous banker, stuff not fit to print  nor to read, and yet that man has ability of the highest order He will leave to civilization no heritage that will enrich it. Our schools could ac- complish no greater work that to systematically teach the young the higher standards of success, the great CT purposes of life, an allegiance to country and service to the world. As long as our boys continue to drop out of school in their early teens for a job and money we may see the evil dence of the modern day vision of suc- cess as measured by the wrong stan dard. We know of no better time to mention these things than on an oc- casion when our schools are gath ering together in an effort to give i'm petus and inspiration to higher edu- cational ideals.

NEW TESTS PLANNED
Hope Not Satisfied With Results at
 the City We'll.

Hope, April 6-Another test at the city well early today developed that there is superabundance of water which will prevent an imme- diate thorough test of the sand. The bailing was done by air, and each time the air was turned on oil show ing in the ditch were very pro- nounced. Many oil men watching the test expressed surprise at the show and and regret that the condition of the hole is such as to prevent casing off the water to make a more thor ough test. There is no way to esti- mate the amount of oil in the sand. according to those in charge, and it is believed that frequent bailing with air has tendancy to drive back the oil
 The we'll has been tested for several days, and on each occasion with the same result. The water forced out by the air is we'll coated with oil tracings. Those in charge of the test say that the gas pressure is very good, but the use of air in bailing may be responsible for the bubbles that break in the ditch.
 It is doubtful if the tests that have been made will ever determine the productiveness of the sand found around 1,400 feet, and it probably will take a new hole to determine that city will undertake to sink a new hole for the purpose, but the informa- ton obtained through this test is valuable, and it is very probable that test we'll will be sunk somewhere in the neighborhood by individuals.
