QUIZ
PROMISED into
| OIL LAND GRAB
La Toilette Resolution De-
manding Probe Not to
Meet Objection.
BY j. BERT CAMPBELL
Ry international News Service.

A far-reaching Senate investiga-
tion of the leasing by the Interior
Department of the $500 900, 900 naval
oil reserve in Wyoming to private
interests appeared certain today.
Republican leaders indicated that
they would offer no objections to the
passage of the resolution sponsored
by Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin,
which provides that the proposed
investigation be conducted by the
Senate Public Lands COMMITTEES.
La Toilette announced that he
would shortly lay before the Senate
the circumstances surrounding the
leasing of the naval oil reserves In
California to private interests.
Charges Conspiracy.
He charged that there was a "con.
spiracy" on the part of the Standard
Oil and other "monopolistic interests
to corner" the country's oil supply
so that the oil-burning, first line.
fighting ships of the navy would be
absolutely dependent" upon them
for their fuel.
"I have only submitted a small

deal was made with Harry F. Sin
clair, the oil and horse-racing man,
and others by which they were to
be given the last of the great naval
oil reserves-the Teapot Dome tract
Of six or seven thousand acres or
rich oil land in Wyoming-under
conditions by which they are GER
tain to make millions Of profit at
the expense Of the country's tax
payers" La Toilette said.
Questions Secrecy.
When all of the disgraceful de-
tails of the scandalous deal are
made public the Senate will be
staggered by them. Why, l ask,
was the leasing of the Teapot Dome.
If it were really considered neces-
sary, not done publicly instead OF
behind closed doors? Why was the
public kept in ignorance OF it for
two weeks? Why were not public
bids for the lease advertised and
asked for instead Of the Oil reserve
contract being turned over to pri-
vate individuals by the mere cross.

Characterizing the women of the
world as ignorant In economic ques-
tons, Sir Auckland Geddes. ambas-
sador from Great Britain. amazed
and surprised the National League
of Women Voters last night at their
final meeting in the Memorial Hail
Of the Daughters of the American
Revolution.
'If the women of the world are
going to exercise international power
in conferences of the world" said
Ambassador Geddes, they must
learn about the basic matters that
lead to these conferences.
THE trouble with women of today
is that they are all too ignorant in
such matters. They have a super
ficiaI knowledge of the questions
that 1t takes even the men years to
know about.
Unless the women voters of the
world get down to good, common
sense study of national and interna-
tional questions, they are going to
be a positive danger to the interna-
tional relations of nations. You've
got to know the real essence from
which the economic problems spring.
I'VE are at the beginning of an
era of international economic confer
ences. Genoa is just a beginning.
We're going to have lots more before
we're through.
There are plenty OF things In
your own countries that will keep
you busy for years without interfer-
ing in international politics, about
which you may have only a super
ficial knowledge. Get your minds
clearly tuned about the questions
that interest and affect the people of
the nation before starting forth to
conquer the public opinion of I'e
world"
An amusing episode Of the even
ing was the omittal of the playing of
the British national anthem, after
the anthems of the twenty-five coun-
tries represented had been played.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
ADVISED FOR RETAILERS

Newspaper advertising as an effec-
tive means for making business prof
liable was advocated by Frederick p.
Mann Of Devils Lake, n. D., who
told the Retail Merchants Associs-
ton this week in Louisville that
so per cent If the 100000 business
houses in his section were not paying
because of poor business knowledge
and because Of lack Of advertising.
Retail merchants must overcome
competition of the large mail order
houses, he said. and this competition
can be overdone only by advertising
and practicing modern efficiency.
A large part Of s650,00 volume
of business done by stores in DEVILS
Lake, having a population Of only
5000, was due TO efficient use of
newspaper advertising, Mr.. Mann
said.

Men of the mountains were first to
resist the English tyranny. Men of
the mountains won the battle OF
Kings Mountain. These were the
men from Tennessee, under the COM
mand of Campbell, Shelby and Sc
vier. Andrew Jackson stopped the
Indian invasion. The mountain men
stopped the invasion Of New Orleans.
Volunteers from the mountains Of
Kentucky kept Kentucky in the I'm
ion. Men Of the mountains always
remain loyal to the American flag.
In the late war, Breathitt COUNT

teers, which was 400 more than their
quota. The mountain men allow no
one to insult the American flag.
They are jealous promoters of free

"The Challenge to Live Young Men,
He stated that dead man, even tho
he was walking about, didn't need to
be challenged, because he would not
heed. The young man who is wide
awake to the present day problems
will meet the challenge face to face.
He divided his subject into two
divisions, namely, the social revolu-
ton and the racial line. He stated
that the former was due to the large
chasm existing between the wealthy
and the poor classes Of people. The
poor class, which includes the large
percentage of the population in the
United States, are wanting fair play
Each working man deserves a good
living wage, which is about $4,000
per year for a family of FIVE. But
just think, seventy-two percent re-
ceive less than $500 per year, and
thirty-eight percent get less than
$1,000. This inefficient wage Of the
husband is the cause Of thirty-seven
percent Of the mothers working out
side of their own homes in order that
they and their children may live.
The racial problem is due TO the
lack Of education, fair mindedness,
and brotherly love.

will continue to be an important fac
tor in the lives of young men in help

LIST. Pure Anglo-Saxon blooded
people. Over SO percent Of the
people are pure-blooded natives. In
9s counties there are 94.2 pure Amer.
lean Anglo-Saxon. In 3s counties the
average runs above 80 percent. Two
percent of the population Of the
Southern Mountains is foreign born.
These people come from England,
Scotland, Ireland and Wales. The
settlers of jamestown are the ances-
tors of some of the people of the
mountains. Twelve percent Of the
population of the mountains is Ne
gro. Mountain people did not believe
in slavery, they did not need slaves,
hence he was not taken there. In
many places he is not now welcome.
The mountains are the great reserve
for pure Anglo-Saxon blood. Instead
of talking of the last killing in the
mountains, talk Of this.

Bravery. The mountain people do not
know what it means to run from an

that any one of their group could be

The mountains have five universities,

schools, 200 independent and private
