LOCKWOOD ASSETS
 SOLD FOR $2I,OOO
Alvey And Ringelburg Purchase
 Amusement Park

W. W. Alvey and Martin Ringelburg have purchased all the assets of the Edgewood Amusement company for $21 600 from Judge Edgar Allen, re- ceiver of the company, according to a contract approved Wednesday by Judge William M Walker, of the chancery division of the circuit court.

The Edgewood Amusement company, which has been operating the Edgewood amusement park for several years, was thrown into the hands of a receiver two weeks ago, when majority and minority stockholders of the com pany were unable to agree upon the sale price of the cOmpany's assets.

 President McLendon is out against this plan, on the ground that "the un- fortunate persons who face the recorder would have to bear the whole burden of this additional salary raise." There were indications that other commission CTS would take a similar attitude.

It will be unfortunate If the widespreading sean
dal connected with naval oil leases should be allow
ed 10 obscure the main issue. Scandal alone is not
important save it calls attention to important
things punishment of guilty persons is not OF final
importance The thing underlying all this mess and
brought into prominence by it, IS the old question OF
conserving the nations public resources.
That question was regarded settled after
Theodore Roosevelt had awakened the country to the
need of conservation. Yet there came the Balnger
epsode only little LATER to show the need Of eternal
vigilance Then few more years of comparative
safety for the public domain to have given the
public and the government notion that conservation
was assured forever The sudden discovery recently
of the alienation of of the most essential puoc
reserves has been and pungent proof that pubic
property has to be safeguarded more zealously
than private property.
After the oil leases, there should be new lease OF
life for conservation. 1t should apply not only TO
petroleum but to forests, coal, waterpower and all
other vital possessions of the nation.
This does not mean shutting the door against all
private acquisition and exploitation of natural re
sources. There must be or less of that, right
along It merely the application to public con-
servation of principles of honesty and thrift already
laid down by far-sghted custodans of the puohc 60
