Help to Take the A. & NJ College Ou Of Politics. Vote For
James A.-WilsOn


Friends of Oklahoma agriculture have
drafted James A. Wilson as a candidate for
the presidency of the state board of aericul-
ture at the Democratic primary. The chief
plank in MIR. Wilson's platform is pledge to
take the A. & M. College out of politics. ~
The issue is vital to everyone interested
in the welfare and progress of Oklahoma aeri-
culture, and that should mean everyone in
the state
The state college is now controlled by
the state board of agriculture. Mr.. Wilson
proposes to remove it from politics and place
it under an independent board of regents.
This proposal was indorsed by graduates
of the A. & NJ College in resolution adopt
ed at their annual meeting in May. 1t is
supported by hundreds of men prominent in
Oklahoma agricultural pursuits.
James A. Wilson has been connected
with the A. & NJ College for fifteen years.
He has been director OF the agricultural ex-
pertinent station, assistant director and later
director of the extension department at the
college, and recently dean of the rural &C.
onomics department He has worked with
the farmers in every county in the state, and
knows their problems intimately

ABSTRACT JUSTICE.

Abstract justice in the settlement
of war problems is the ideal, admits
Frank A. Vanderlip, the American
banking expert, writing from Genoa
to the New York World, but he in
sists that it is an impossible one,
because it collides with facts.
Germany ought to be treated Sc
gerely, by way of penalty for her
war crimes and reparation for the
damage she has done. Russia ought
to be treated severely for the sins
oil. the Soviet regime and the enforce
ment of old obligations. The allies
ought to be obliged to pay the SILL
600, 100000 they owe the United
States.
Yet, "if Germany were treated
with abstract justice, it would ruin
her financially, with the result of
social and political upheavals which
would go a long way toward ruin
ing British industry" If strict JUS
tice were imposed on Russia, cher
The Russian people would not en-
dure such burdens as a pressing of
legitimate allied claims would i'm
pose. Perhaps they could not meet
them if they wanted to.
There is growing perception of
these facts. The French alone, says
Mr.. Vanderlip, seem blind to the i'm
possibility of enforcing indemnities
to the letter, and to the probable
ruin that would follow if it were
possible to collect those indemnities
in full.
The blindness of the French, he
adds, is paralleled by the blindness
OF the extreme American view which
persists in demanding full satisfac-
ton of all the American claims
against the allied countries for war
supplies and credits.
There is going to be another con-
ference, he says, at which the rela
tion between abstract justice and
concrete facts may be better under
stood, and at which America will
be represented. If that is the case,
it is just as we'll for the American
public to start in now to reconcile
theory with actual conditions.

according to A. w. Ambrose, chief
petroleum technologist of the Blu
reau of Mines. This failure to eff
feet a greater recovery Of the under
ground oil. said Ambrose, is due to
the exhaustion Of the subterranean
gas flow.
"The manner in which gas serves
as an expulsive medium was recent
ly shown by an experiment at the
petroleum experiment station of the
bureau of Mines" Ambrose as
serted. "A steel container about
three feet long and three inches
in diameter was filled with sand
which was then thoroughly saturat-
cd with oil. The amount of oil in
troduced was known by weight and
measurement. After the sand had
been saturated, gas was forced in
to the cOntainer under a pressure
of 200 pounds to the square inch.
Then a valve at one end was
opened and the gas allowed to es-
cape, bringing with it perhaps IS
per cent of the oil put into the
container,
'In other experiments" Ambrose
continued, "the amount of oil re
covered varied from Is to rs per
cent. depending on the pressure and
other conditions After the gas had
forced out Is per cent Of the oil,
the container was held in yert-
cal position for the purpose of de-
termining how much oil would drain
out, but the capillary force exert
ed on the oil was SO great that
only a negligible quantity of oil
drained from the stand.
This simple experiment empha-
sized the fact that gas is the pre-
dominant factor in moving oil out of
the well and that when the gas is gone
Che production is gone" declared
Ambrose. in any event, it is I'M
that large quantities of
oil are left underground and
whether the figure is 60 per cent
or 80 per cent, it is too large. In
certain parts OF the Appalachian
fields the practice of forcing com
pressed air or gas into a central
we'll, from where it goes to adjoin-
ing wells ana carries the oil with it.
has caused weIls to produce as
much Oil as they had up to the
point when considered ready for
abandonment.
There are undoubtedly other
means of effocting a greater re-
covery," Ambrose concluded, "and
these questions should be studied
and applied before the wells are

PEACE EMISSARTES.

Jack Dempsey is in London, oc-
Icupying a royal suite in a big ho-
tel, and rather embarrassed by
splendor and acclaim. His quarters
are thronged with sporting men
and reporters. The streets are i'm
passable when he appears. His
opinions are sought on all sorts Of
things. The public hangs on his
lightest word He is treated as
another John l.. Sullivan. Bernard
Shaw turns from literature and art
to tell the world:
"Unless Dempsey is prepared to
take on our champions three at 4
time, his visit here will be one Of
peace-perfect peace
The whimsical Shaw might have
gone further, and said in all seri-
business that man like Dempsey
with all his lack of diplomatic quail
ities-or possibly because of that
lack-is true missionary of peace.
The great public, anywhere, cares
nothing for ambassadors. II does
care for pugilists, and a fighter is
an effective peace-maker because, in
applauding him, red-blooded men
everywhere find common bond Of
unity and therefore feel peaceful
toward each other. Perhaps the
great need of the world right now
is more international sport and less
diplomacy.
