ExPosINo OIL SCANDAL

Senator La Toilette (Rep.. Wis., is
backing up Senator Kendrick Dem,
wyo). who brought to light the scan
day OF leasing the naval oil reserves to
Standard Oil subsidiaries. by a resolution
directing the Secretary of the Interior to
send to the Senate list of all oil leases
in the California and Wyoming naval oil
reserves. but according to a reliable Re
publican paper Senators Smoot and Cur
tbs have notified Senator LaFollette that
his resolution will not be allowed to pass
IL they can prevent it.
Secretary Fall in a statement issued BY
the Interior Department officials, under
took TO justify these leases by saying that
the naval oil reserve territories had been
tapped by private interests under the
former Secretary of the Navy Daniels,
who not only showed that the oil reserves
had not been tapped but who showed con-
clusively that he had prevented such ac-
ton.
When the LaFoIlette resolution is called
up it is certain to receive the support of
other Republican Senators, and when the
facts are known there is every indication
that the turning over of these oil lands
reserved for the oil burning suips 1i the
navy win prove to be one Of the most
odorous scandals that follow the alliance
Of the big interests with reactionaIv pol
itics.

What Madge Saw and Heard While
Waiting in the Library

waiting IN the Library
Never in my life have I approached
a task with such distaste, dislike
bordering upon the terror, as was my
portion when 1 entered the room of
the public library devoted to the ex-
hibition of valuable theatrical relics.
Ostensibly 1 was a student of dra-
matte history. In reality I was wait
ing at Lillians request for Harry I'm
derweod
1t had taken all my affection for
Lillian, all my conscience as to the
service in which 1 bad enlisted under
her direction, to nerve myself for the
task which confronted me. I both
loathed and feared Harry Underwood,
and the feeling wasn't lessened by the
fact that at times in our acquaintance
l had been swayed by the almost hyp-
motto fascination which was his when
he chose to exercise it.
walked through the room, which so
early had only the library attendants
in 1t, and selected the standing desk
which best commanded the whole of
the room. The sloping surface of the
desk was covered with copies of plays
which had been used by prominent
theatrical stars, and I reasoned that
if 1 were correct in the theory that
had given Lillian, Harry Underwood, in
defatigable collector of things theatre
cal as he had always been, would soon
er or later make his way to that desk.
Two Lowered Voices
was prepared to wait indefinitely,
to come again and again to the library
upon the chance of the encounter with
him which Lillian so earnestly desired.
But as the minutes and then the hours
Of that first morning wore away I was
appalled, by the tedium of the waiting.
Fearing to attract attention by stay
ing in one place moved from one desk
to another, until within few minutes
of noon, / found myself at a desk near
one Of the entrance doors-in fact, the
opened door shielded one corner of
the desk
I was thankful, indeed, for this shell
ter, when from the corridor outside
the clear notes of voice l knew and
dreaded fell upon my ears.
80 this is the dump where you
waste your time, is it?" Grace Draper
said unpleasantly. IT don't understand
it, Harry. There isn't a pretty girl in
the place
Perhaps I'm fed up on pretty girls"
Harry Underwood's deep voice drawled
lazily. 1--WE been dancing pretty close
attendance on one of the most beau
tiful of the species, you know, my
dear"
II know nothing of the kind" she
retorted, but do know that if you
don't get move on in certain direc-
tions you'll find your flow of pocket
money diminishing soon. Those peo-
pie aren't paying you for doing moth
ing, you know, and nothing exactly
sums UP your activities to date"
She had lowered her voice, although
as far as she knew there was no one
within hearing of them. But every
word was audible to me, huddled close
against the table behind the shelter Of
the door, and making myself as small
as possible as / bent asidiously over
the old theatrical program before me.
"Oh, cut it Quit" Harry Underwood
growled. 'T'll get busy when / get
good and ready, and won't be nagged

REPUBLICAN PRESS CONDEMNS
SENATE TARIFF BILL

Here are some additional editorial
opinions on the Forndey- McCumber
tariff bill from leading republican pa
pers:
The st. Louis Globe Democrat, the
leading republican organ OF the south
west, says: 1.-The bill seems to have
applied the principle OF protection TO
everything, without regard to present
world conditions and without regard
to our altered position in relation to
the worlds trade. If our tariff does
not wermit fair competition with 9TH
er countries how are we to maintain
the world trade that is now so essen
tial to our prosperity"
The Boston Transcript, the grand
mother of the New England Republi-
can press, expresses the opinion that
party guidance is thrown to the winds
with respect to the tariff and says this
is undoubtedly due to the prevalent
chaotic conditions of interest and Of
views. 1t then adds: There may be
some consolation in the fact that it
will take a long time to straighten out
this chaos Of views and that the de-
lay viii give an opportunity to get
rid Of some OF the injustices involved
in the senate bill. But in the mean
time, the manufacturers of the coun-
try are carrying all or most of the
expenses involved by the war without
the market which the war created
and are consequently pretty nearly
paralyzed. In this situation they are
TO some extent prepared to regard
strikes as a blessing and are content
to let the tariff repose at the switch"
Syracuse, n. Y. Post Standard, re-
publican, says: The senate must give
ear TO the changed conditions of world
trade due to our change from a debtor
to a creditor nation. 1t must give ear
also to the demand that the rates on
foodstuffs shall not be the highest ever
levied"
The Ohio State Journal, soundly re-
publican, but with a sense of humor
constantly stimulated and aroused by
this administration, says: Economic
conditions in the world have changed
so much since the war that the tariff
problem is vastly altered. We are the
creditor nation now and the only way
in which our debtors can pay is in
their products. Our agricultural and
manufacturing interests need, as never
before, a wide, free foreign market.
No one, apparently, except the hard
shelled old high protectiouists. who is
wrong about it, has clear idea of just
what ought to be done. This Is one
of the cases where it is better to do
nothing than to do the wrong thing"

THE GIANT VOICE
HUAOR
| PLAY
/ WORK

A story about a voice that can &c
heard all over a whole valley sounds
like a fairy tale about a giant 1t
Isn't. however. IT'S q story about a
machine called an af1ipiiher that mag
nifies" the human voices so that words
spoken quietly In one place can be
heard loudly miles away.
Such naDhins mas becn made for
life Saving purposes. Many places ia
America terrific storms burst sud-
denly and in an hour or less make
quiet rivers into raging torrents. Or
the spring rains and the melting Of
snow in the mountains may bring
down disaster. People are killed be
cause they cannot be warned In time
to get away to higher places.
With such a machine as the ampu-
fer. when a river is getting out Of
control and there is danger, word
can be shouted to the valley below,
warning them that the dam is break
ing. so that they win have a chance
to escape.
Up in the Catskin Mountains of
New York they have been making
tests with this machine. A tower ~
feet high was built and the ampliiars
were set up on it. with great projec-
tors to throw the voice to a dis
lance.
In order to seq how far the voice
would carry. four men were placed at
distances Of one. two. three. and
four miles from the tower, and each
carried a lighted torch. Then the
watcher in the tower spoke into the
machine in an ordinary voice, telling
the men to wave their torches And
one by one the four men waved the
torches. Other directions given we're
also heard clearly.
A series OF such towers, four miles
apart along mountain stream.
would make Il possible for the giant
voice to send warnings from the hiIlS
down TO the people endangered IN the
valley.
