soft spot, mentally speaking; but
otherwise it is distinctly clever and.
having no relation to anything
American or anything real or prac-
tical anywhere, it has a good deal
more fun than the poor Nation and
New Republic, which take themselves
seriously and imagine that they in
fluence votes and all that sort Of
thing.
Well, The Freeman proceeded to
have all the fun it could with Mr..
Croly. 1t quoted Mark Twain's
famous sentence from n child's
school exercise: "The supercilious
girl acted with vicissitude when the
perennial time came" This, Mark
Twain observed, was curiously
plausible Sc cd; one felt sure it
meant something, even though one
could s.ever discover just what.
Similarly, observed The Freeman,
with Mr.. Croly's sentences. Said he
in this important article on liberal
ism: ut is the business of liberals
to use science for the purpose Of
humanizlng man in society. In so
far as the promoters Of such an
ideal find a sufficient excuse for in
dorsing war the compulsion consti-
tutes a grave impeachment of lib
eralism." Seems to mean some
thing. But what?" jeers the hard
hearted Freeman.
An idea is then pursued through
a whole paragraph of Mr.. Croly's-
with the same result. But this is
hardly fair, for the paragraph re-
lates to religion. and NJ. Croly's
discovery Of this odd subject-a
postwar psychosis--is too recent to
have yielded anything understand
able as yet.
Does The Freeman hold any pref
erence for The Nation in the contro-
versy? Not the least. Liberalism
displays two modes of unreality, it
asserts. One is the unreality of in
competence (The Nation) and the
other is the unreal;ty of inconse-
quence (The New Repub!ic). "The
first makes emotion do the duty of
thought; the second makes words
and phrases do duty for ideas"
After which genial and friendly
biting and scratching The Freeman
rolls over and purrs condescend-
ingly about the silly errors of the
bally old universe in general, dash
1t all. 1t must be wonderful to be a
liberal or radical and know that
you are the only wise person alive
and that everybody else is Ounce,
and those who attempt to think
thoughts at all like your own the
biggest ounces of all!

The Dignity of Labor
How Our Schools Teach scorn Of

To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Mr.. Gardner Menker, in your

what should be done to bring back

BUILDING ON INCREASE

One of the most encourag- ing features of the business outlook is the resumption of building activiy. Statistics from the country at large shows more building in pro- gress than for years.
 Contracts awarded in 26 northwestern states for April totaled more than a quarter of a billion dollars, the largest on recordfor any April, and an increase of 34 per cent over March. In some sections the increase reached Fl per cent and all sections report gains over previous months.
 Residential construction leads all other building as the nation is short over 1,- 500, 900 homes as a result of retarded construction during the war. Slightly lower wage scales and cheaper lumber have acted as a stim- ulant to building, but there must be still luther readjust- ment in prices before there will be a real building boom.
 Building, in addition to af- fording employment to thou sands of men in building and allied treades, stimulates many other industries make business for railroads and augment the purchasing power of the country and demand for commodities.

ADAMANA NO. 1

The Adamana Land and Oil Company, probably the best known of Arizona's pioneering oil companies, un- like most co m pa n i es operating a "wild : cat" does not allow the usual set backs and some very unusual ones, it might be added, to swerve them from the main object--that of getting oil.
 For some time the con- pany has been striving to swage out the casing at the 1900 it. line, but on recom- mendation of MT. Wander hoef this has been abandon ed. However, the company will attempt to drill out the casing. Should this fail, then light charges of giant powder will be used. Should all expedients fail, then the casing will be pulled and a heavier 5 5-8 casing will be introduced into the hole, the water shut off and the bring ing in of the well made a fact.
 The management of the Adamana know positively that there is oil at the bot tom of the we'll; the last few strikes of the drill bits show ing heavy with oil. So heavy in fact that the company ceased operations for fear of letting in the salt water and undoing the patient work of months.

while. It mlynC pofnapS seem like oil development is dragging, nothing could be farther from Ine truth.
 While there is not so much actual drilling as a host of us would like to see, never theless all things considered, the field is in the best shape it has been for a year or more
 The Zuni has temporarily suspended operations. But not for long. This company has excellent holdings, fine eau; u;pment and a good hole so far. They will be in the ring again shortly.
 The Black Canyon Oil Co., mpany is a first class outfit in every respect, and is ably managed. They have suf- fered some disheartening set-backs in their drilling operations, but are now plug ging along in good shape.
 The Holbrook Oil Com pany are marking time wait inp for the cement tO set when there will be a re- sumption of drilling. This company has an excellent hole, and there are very en- couraging indications that the cement will effectually shut off the water. About Aug. 1st should see a re- sumption of drilling.
 The Breckenridge-Texas- Arizona Company are all to the good--in holdings, equip ment, etc, and with the ar rival of a few more items of field equipment will be ready to tackle the old Hopi we'll in the style they un- derstand. They recently ac- quired additional acreage in Stevens County Texas, which should give the com pany finances for any de- velopment they might de- sire to undertake. How ever. they are in excellent condition for their Arizona operations.
 s. Earl Taylor, the excell- ent oil man, is going right ahead with preliminary work that will lead to much de- velopement in the Holbrook field. Undoubtedly MT. Fay Tor is a man of purpose--a definite purpose, and Hol- brook is indeed fortunate that he has decided to drill in this field. His operations will begin shortly.

WIFE TO FACE MURDER TRIAL
Case Against WidolU of Santa Fe Conductor, Slain ct Arizona
 Home, toili Open Wedneday

The trial of Mrs. Elsie McLennon, charged with the murder of her husband, Rob ert A. McLennon, Santa Fe Railroad conductor, will be- gin Wednesday at Winslow, Arizona, according to infor- nation received by the Ex- aminer yesterday from Chief of Police Ed Gardner of Winslow, who brought a. bout the woman's arrest.
 Mrs. McLennon was arrest ed July II, following an in- vestigation lasting nearly six weeks. The Board of Supervisors of Navajo Coun- ty have retained two o f Arizona's best criminal law yers, J. L. Sweeney of Win slow and c. H. Jordan Q f Holbrook to assist i n the prosecution. More than forty witnesses have been sum- moned for the prosecution and there are said to be thir- ty-sevel defense witnesses besides a large number of affidavits and depositions to read. The trial will last sev- eral days.
 McLennon was shot in his Winslow home on April 30. He apparently recovered from his bullet wounds, but meningitis developed and he died at the Santa Fe Hospi- tai in Los Angeles, where he was brought for treatment, on the night of June 15.
 A few days before he was shot, Mrs. McLennon separ- ated from him and filed suit for divorce. Later, when her husband was found wounded in his home she re- turned to him, temporarily withdrew her suit and ac- compained McLennon t o Los Angeles, remaining with him until he died.
 At first it was thought l that McLennon shot himself, | but this theory was later found to be groundless, and certain well defined facts pointed to murder with the woman charged as a suspect. She has consistently denied all knowledge of the crime. Il. A. Examiner

TURN FOR BETTER EXPERIENCED
 IN BUSINESS CIRCLES

Washington, July 21-The
 feeling is general that indus
 try and business have turn
 ed the cornef Tangible evil
 dence of this it on hand. Some of the high lights con-
 tributing to this conservative optimism are:
 The full swing of the har- vest season in the agricul- tural belt, and the prompt moving of crops to primary markets. This is bringing millions of dollars of actual cash into the agricultural heart of the country which has been the hardest hit, fin ancially, and the stimulating effect is already seen in all lines of retail and wholesale business. In addition, ar engagements either have been made, or are about to be completed, which will give the farmers $125, 900, ,000 in new long time credits.
 Increasing activities in a very great number and var iety of manufacturing indus tries. many cases, man. ufacturing plants are run ming to capacity in order to meet fall deliveries.
 Reduction of bank loans to almost one-half of their high level of last winter.
 A general increase in build ing activities.
 General and very appreci- able increase in retail busi- ness resulting in increased orders for fall deliveries.
 Demonstration of the fin- ancial stability of the "aver- age man" as shown by re- ports to the Federal Reserve Board. These reports, sub- nitted by over 800 banks in more than 100 of the chief cities of the country, show m increase in savings de- oosits over lastyear of $238,- )00,000. This condition was quite contrary to the gen. erally accepted belief that he average man was ''going ,roke" or using up all of his var time savings.
 Decrease in number of business failures and in a. mount of liabilities.
 Increase in freight traffic md demand for cars.
