NATIONAL SCANDAL PROMISED

Inc conservation Of natural re-
sources, which was hobby of Theo-
dore Roosevelt and a policy of Presi-
dent Roosevelt'sI administration. Is In
danger Of being completely overthrown
Ito judge by the violent assaults that
are being made Upon it In connection
with oil and coal lands
What promises to be a great ma
tional scandal Is the alleged turning
over OF the huge Teapot Dome oil
fields in Wyoming to private inter-
ests. This in one of the fields held
in reserve for the navy to keep ade-
quate reserves of fuel for It's oil burn
ing ships. The naval oil reserves
were recently taken over from the
navy department by the interior de-
partment under an executive order by
President Harding. The deal for the
Teapot Dome district is with the SIN
clair oil interests subsidiary of the
Standard Oil, and the later company
is said to be preparing to build pipe
lines to carry the oil to it's refineries
In the middle-west. The Sinclair oil
stock has been more or less dormant
for a year. Just, prior to the time Of
the alleged closing of the deal with
the interior department, the market
value of the stock increased more
than $3O,OOO.O0o in three days, as a
result of the huge transactions on the
New York stock exchange, indicating
that there was an inside tip on the
alleged deal

OPENING OF THE CAMPAIGN

The thoughts Of the people through
out the Third Congressional District
are at present centering on the COM
Ing race between the two gentlemen
who have announced their candidacy
for the honor Of representing the four
teen counties in the district at the ma
tons capital.
Both Congressman Smithwick, who
IL out for recollection, and Mr. Han
cock, his only opponent, are carrying
advertisements in the daily and weekly
papers telling the voters some OF the
things that they are for and against.
However. the opening gun of the
campaign. strictly speaking when the
race will begin in earnest. IL on May
1st at the annual picnic held at Wa
kulla Springs. In previous years, and
this will be no exception, the candi-
dates have met there on May Day to
stage the initial battle. And those who
have ever attended one Of these cele-
brations will testify to the fact that
some real battles have resulted. Some
of the finest and most scholarly poll
tical speeches ever made In the state
have been heard at these annual pic
MICS In the past.
It Is on this occasion that the office
seekers present to the voters the is
sues, the platform, on which they base
hteir hopes for public office.
It is understood that Secretary of
State Henry Clay Crawford, who will
act az master Of ceremonies, has in
vited both candidates for the congress-
manship to be present and oppose each
other in debate. Whether either or
both will accept is not known, but It is
reasonably sure that the result, II they
are present, will go long way to-
wards electing the winner.
The Journal believes Mr.. Smithwick
has made good representative, and
does not know OF single instance
where he was called upon to transact
any business at Washington for the
good of the people, his constituents
that he did not perform that duty with
diligence and dispatch. In view of his
capability as representative and TAX
ing into consideration the experience
that he has gained since being our con
gresham, and the efficient manner in
which he has carried out the duties
and responsibilities of the office. II
believes that the people If West Flor
ida will express their appreciation by
re-electing him.

PEOPLES FORUM
Editor Pensacola Journal.

Editor Pensacola Journal!
4 Some months ago the editor Of the
i Journal was kind enough to publish an
article Of mine on the public schools.
I should felt complimented that he. re-
ferred to me as he" but I must not
sail under false colorsI am a woman.
When hear the public schools dis
cussed I always prick up my ears"
for I am proud OF my profession and
proud Of the word that the public
schools are doing. The public school
system is by no means perfect, many
of US teachers fall far short Of per-
lection, but we are working to a pur-
pose. under conditions that are GER
tainly not ideal, and we achieving
splendid results, though some of you
may not realize it.
/ At a womanis club meeting recently,
heard much adverse criticism Of the
public school. After the meeting, I
discussed the matter with a primary
teacher who had been present, and
am passing on to you, mothers and
fathers, her diagnosis of the situation.
Time was when mothers and fathers
thought more seriously than now of
the responsibilities of parent-hood-
mothers deemed 1t a precious privilege
to put their children to bed, and the
bed time hour was filed with the sweet
old stories and tales that made lasting
impressions on the little minds. Child
rem learned to lisp their Now lay me
down to sleep" at their mothers kneee,
and went to dream land with mother's
good night kiss upon their brows. In
many homes today, this glorious hour
is given to an illiterate negro servant
who frightens the little ones off to
slumber with tales of "ha'nts" and
COLLINS or lures them to rest by stories
of Charlie Chaplin and Fatty Arbuckle.
Mother and father are watching the
hair breath escapes OF Douglas Fair
banks or weeping over a screen story
of neglected little ones, or perhaps
they, with other young parents are
miles away breaking the speed limit
on a joy ride.
Is it any wonder that primary teach
ers have to defer the teaching Of the
three RS? They have to do the par
ents' work in teaching morals and
manners.
Then too, large percent OF children
are coming into our schools physically
unfit. This is an age OF science and
enlightenment too. The under nour-
ished and poorly developed child does
not always come from the homes of
the poor and ignorant. It is not In

DEMOCRATS HAD NO HAND IN
TARIFF BILL

1t should be understood in advance
that the democrats in congress had no
hand or part in the framing OF the
tariff bill recently reported in the
senate. They were not called in until
the tinkering of the bill had been
completed. and were then permitted to
cast vote on reporting the bill, but
having had no opportunity to see it
or study it they naturally voted against
reporting it. The democratic sena-
tors, however, have until April 90, to
make minority report and until then
the many objections to the measure
will not be known In detail. This
much, however, is obvious upon the
face of the bill:
1t Is q profiteers' tariff from start to
finish, and If enacted in its present
form will greatly increase the present
high cost Of living.
It displays throughout an ignorance
Of even the elementary principles of
economics; in many respects 1t is as
much OF an economic joke as 1t was
when 1t came fresh from the hands of
Fordney of Saginaw and was generally
known as Fordney's Folly.
Der bill are higher than under the
Payne -Aldrich act against which the
people revolted in 1910 and elected
democratic congresses for the follow
ing eight years.
The senate bill apparently rejects
the Fordney American valuation
plan, generally opposed by importers
and business mon, and then gives the
president authority, in defiance of
the constitution, to modify tariff
rates either upward or downward and
to change the basis of ad valorem
duties from the foreign to the Ameri-
can valuation.
In this bill as in the emergency
tariff act another effort is made to
fool the farmer by placing high duties
upon agricultural products, but the
opponents Of the bill contend that the
experience of the farmer following the
emergency tariff act when prices of
all his products declined to point at
which II was Improbable to ship them
and compelled him to burn his corn
while millions were starving to death
in Europe for lack Of his unstable
products has taught him for all time
that what he needs is not tariffs but
markets.
Opponents Of the bill also point out
that when republican orators this fall
tell the farmer that this tariff bill is
framed in his interest, he. the farmer.
will naturally ask why the repubr-
cans who have had full control of
congress for three years. have waited
until now to offer him prosperity in
the form Of q tariff bill.
Although the bill itself has just been
published and only its most glaring
defects are apparent at a cursory
glance, 1t Is already manifest that OPP
position to the bill IL not to be con-
fined to democrats. but that republi-
cans themselves are divided, and In
tense opposition may be expected not
only from republican senators, but
from a large section of the republican
press.
1t has been suggested that perhaps
one reason why Attorney General
has not started any prose
cution against the profiteers in gem
oral was because he has been waiting
to find out whether the persons to be
prosecuted would include the repub-
Iican tariff tinkers.
