A Very Proper Resignation.

would retire from the federal bench
the first of the month to give his at

that it was precisely the right thing
for him to do.

No Place for Tobacco Fjends.

AS a precaution against forest fires,
smoking has been entirely prohibited
in any part Of the Olympic national
forest in Washington. The area COW
cred by the mo smoking order
mounts to about $4,000 acres. The
period of this prohibition is to be de-
termined by the district forester at
Portland, Oregon. The urgent reason
for this action is due to the fact that
the area was largely swept by cy-
clone during the last winter and the
ground is covered with broken trees
and branches of trees so that if fire
were to get any Roadway at all, it
would be difficult to check it.

ReUiUal of Americanism

THE INCOMING Republican administration found
= American diplomacy in poor repute. The rights
OF the United States government were being DELHI
lerately ignored and fouted in several quarters of
the globe. The lives and property of its citizens
were not safeguarded. The development of its for
eign commerce was seriously handicapped.
The Paris peace conference gave to several powers
mandates" over certain territories and sections Of
the globe. These mandates were being exercised in
an arbitrary manner, to the exclusion of American
interests and TO the jeopardy of our foreign COM
merce and foreign investments.
All those nations have been notified by this adj
ministration that the United States does not con.
cede the power of any group of nations to enter
an agreement whereby any of the sovereign rights
of the United States are denied or curtailed or
American citizens and American interests denied
fair play and proper protection in their Investments
anywhere in the world.
Our forcing policy, as it has been restored by the
present administration, is in keeping with the
splendid traditions of American statecraft of for.
|mer years before it had been devitalized by the in.
|ternationalism of the Wilson regime. True to that
traditional American policy, this administration
has constantly refused to become involved in the
intrigue and politics of the old world.
This does not signify that the United States is
Indifferent to the rest of the world. Quite the con
trary. 1t always played a leading part in interna-
tional affairs; standing for fair dealing the world
over, insistent upon its rights but demanding no
privilege it was not willing to accord any other
nation. This policy, so firm in its protection of
interests ana yet so absolutely free from
selfshness, inspired the confidence of all nations
and made the United, States honored and respected
the world around.
As a result of the re-assertion of the old-fashioned
doctrine of Americanism, our country has resumed
its former position in world affairs, the greatest
influence against that intrigue and
double dealing which inevitably lead to interna-
tional war.
The Washington conference was a direct result of
the foreign policy of the United States as enun-
II nfa1 nnA ~ into nranttra I- l. nrAean o1p,i,.
The influences exerted by the United
States in that conference for peaceful settlement of
International differences not only brought success
to that conference but it promoted the cause of in.

The Teapot Simmcring

COMEBoDY pushed a fresh stick of wood in the
y stove and the Teapot is simmering again. 1t is
not likely to boil over.
1t is all occasioned by the starting of drilling
operations by the Mutual Oil company on the naval
reserve leased by the federal government to the
Mammoth Oil company which is now in possession
of the property with preparations going forward
to drill a number of wells, The Mutual company,
it is understood. is the drilling company for other
parties. who may and may not have a claim TO lease
or who may have slept on their rights at the time
of withdrawal of the reserve and at a later period
when the lease was made to the Mammoth company,
by failure to enter protest and assert the rights
they may have had.
At best of at worst the whole affair is but a
lease contest, which is the commonest thing there
is in a rich oil territory.
On the part of the contestants it is purely a mat
ter of sparring for position. Neither desires TO be-
come the plaintiff in a case before the courts but
each desires TO be the defendant should suit be
brought.
The territory invaded or sought to be invaded is
federal territory under the jurisdiction of the navy
department. and unlike other federal territory un-
der control of, say the interior, agricultural or
other department of the government. If a military
reservation was invaded it is quite likely a detach'
ment of soldiers would be sent to remove the tres
passers. The present situation is similar. 1t is
naval territory and readily explains the presence
Of marines to remove the alleged trespassers.
1t is quite natural for the navy department to pro
tect a lease made by it in good faith and maintain
the lessee in peaceable possession. The claimants to
any part of the reserve have a ready remedy in the
courts where their rights can at any time be de-
termined. In. fact, it is their only remedy. They
will find themselves unable to enjoin naval officers
from performing any action that may be ordered
by superior officers. They might make an injunc-
ton against a federal marshal stick.
It would be difficult to imagine the invasion of
any rights the state has in Teapot Dome or any
rights any citizen has, by sending United States
marines to insure possession, under lease to the
Mammoth Oil company to property owned by the
federal government and disposed of under acts of
the congress for the benefit of the department hav-
ing jurisdiction.
The rights of the state in royalty arising from
production are safeguarded by the law and the
terms of the lease. The state has no rights in the
land. The rights of any citizens TO any portion of

rights or claims to any unit of the lands included
in the socalled dome and which property it has
leased.
Therefore We have another tempest in the Teapot,
mild as compared with the former one, but afford
ing even less to stand upon as a complaint against
the federal government than in the first instance.
When the marines arrive upon the scene, the
tempest will quickly subside. The Mutual company
will depart in peace and she principals if they deem
they have n just and valid claim will doubtless go
into court to establish 1t.

glad TO learn that it can now retire after several
years arduous labor knowing that the water will

The Lady with the Gun
BY A. ~o'DoNAGHUE.

That lovely "emancipated'' woman
is rapidly attaining the level of the
once so-called sterner sex, we have
ample evidence on all sides. We see
1t everywhere and in every form. be.
ginning with the basket social graft
er'-the schoolma'm. who for her
personal expenses appropriates a
percentage of the nickels brought in
by her "kids'' for an orphans school
and eliminating in the lady with
the gun.
Now. the writer is not one of those
opposed to woman's rights. Far from
1t. indeed. 1 concede to woman AS
many rights as could be showered
upon her ever by the most time
serving politician just before election
day. Let her smoke cigarettes. drink
moonshine cocktails, n raise all of
Adams eldest son she pleases. A
woman should have the right to make
herself as disreputable as any gentle
man. But when it comes to taking
human life with impunity-yes. and
practical immunity as to penalty
that is a different matter.
Viewed from any standpoint of
ethics, one thing is certain. the lady
with the gun is a far too plentiful
proposition in this era OF piety and
prohibition-an era with whose ad-
vent. we were assured by the holy
brothers and the plous sisters, crime
OF any kind would be but a memory.
Furthermore. 1t is a universally rec
ognized fact that her tribe is increas-
ing by leaps n bounds
Truth is not always pleasant. but It
would be an exasion of candor-per-
haps moral cowardice-not to state
hat since the innovation of woman
suffrage. a veritable reign Of female
lawlessness has prevailed throughout
the land. Whether this De IN effect
OF the former or a mere coincidence.
1T is difficult to determine. But hat
it is a fact admits OF no controversy,
Returning TO the fundamental
