Oil Trial Bares Wide Open
Means of Evading Campaign
Contribution Law.
BY WILLIAM HARD.


The long, long trail of the nava
oil reserve investigation branchec
OFF in a new inquisitive direction
today when various energetic
Republicans began to follow the
blazes left on the trees of poll
tics by the campaign contributions
OF Edward L. Doheny, recipient
and holder of the lease on naval
oil reserve No. l and lender Of
100000 to former Secretary OF
che Interior Albert B. Fall.
Research through the reports
made to the clerk of the House
of Representatives for the cam
paign Of 1920 shows that large
part of Mr.. Doheny's campaign
contributions in that year seem
to have been sunk without trace.
Mr.. Doheny testified on the stand
before the Senate Public Lands
Committee that in 1920 he con-
tributed $4,000 to the Democratic
party, of which he is a member.
What Records Show.
Under the law contributions to
the national organization Of the
Democratic party or Of the Repub.
Mcan party in a campaign must be
reported to the clerk of the House.
The records Of the clerk in the
matter Of contributions by Mr.. Do
heny in the year 1920 to the Demo
cratic party show only the follow
ing entries:
On September is, $4,000. Again on
September 10, $500. On October
30, $500. Total, $1,000.
It is observed by adventurous ex.
ploring Republicans that the differ
ence between $4,000 and $1,000 is
$66,200.
The question is:
What happened to this $4,000?
Did the Democratic national organ
1zation fail to report it to the clerk
Of the House? Or did Mr.. Doheny
contribute it to local organizations
or to individuals not required to
do any reporting to the clerk Of the
House?
Wide LOOphOle Discovered.
At this point in this new raid
into the unknown a wide-open loop
hole in the federal campaign con-
tribution law was discovered. Con.
tributions made during the actual
progress of a campaign must be
reported. Contributions made be.
fore the campaign begins or after
hA he
reported at all.
Thus a tremendous gap may exist
between the total of campaign
money reported and the total Of
campaign spent.
The historic inQuisition by Sen.
ator Kenyon's nosing committee in
1920 and 1921 showed that the re.
ported expenditures of both political
parties through their official ma
tiOnal organizations and through
their official State organizations
amounted in 1920 in the last cam
paign to approximately $4,000, 900.
It now appears that immensely
larger sums might have been spent
by both political parties without
public reporting or public knowl
edge.
In Mr.. Doheny's case it is known
from him himself that after the
campaign Of 1920 was over he
contributed $4,000 to the Demo.

to elect Ex-Governor Cox Of Ohio

Of hairs
Remarking that it had been said
that personality may not be taught
or learned, or acquired, the speaker
asserted that to the contrary 1t
could be taught and learned-even
analysed. Consider" he said, "tte
following characteristics or personal
ty: consecration to duty; optimism.
enthusiasm, hopefulness, courtesy,
thoughtfulness and consideration !;
gratitude, temperance; loneliness:
fairness, peaccableness, gentle add
gentlencss," and advises his adui-
tors to Glove somebody and love him

of man-and all Christians do teach
something-with all the loveliness
which you may possess.
you owe it to yourself and to
your companions, and to the public, ,"
he told the young women, ito dress
as lovely as you can; for men do
judge by appearances, and they
ought to. Yell all you wish at the
football game. Shout all you choose
at church. Grow with youthful
eestaey as leng as you live when
the beauties of nature overpower
your soul. The world needs it; you
need it, and everyone is better for
it,"
DR.. Payne drew facetious line
of disti4ction between gentility ana
gentleness, declaring, "A COW has
gentleness, but only human being
can have gentility. At Palm Beach
some time ago, saw an old woman,
painted and powdered and wearing
thousands Of dollars worth Of
Clothes, smoking 4 cigarette. She
ad the Janguid manner Of her kiad
but she did not have the gentility

AGNES SCOTT SENIORS
HEAR BRUCE PAYNE
President of Peabody College
Is Principal Speaker AT De-
catur Graduation Exercises

DECATUR, May 28.-Addressing
the senior class of Agnes Scott Col.
lege yesterday, DR.. Bruce Payne,
president of George Peabody Col
lege for Teachers, of Nashville,
Tenn, declared that something
more than trained intelligence, some
thing more than character" is es-
sential to the present needs of So
ciety
"All around u.s." Prof. Payre
said, tive see men and women with
highly trained minds and of the
most devout character who fail in
life. That one may be trained in
mind and in heart is not an assur-
ance within itself that he will sue
coed in business, that he win SIC
eeed in his profession, that he will
become a great moral, intellectual,
social and economic leader"
That which is needed in addition
to the attributes of intelligence and
character, the speaker asserted, is
personality. Defining personality
as "the outer Manifestation of cha
racter and intelligence" he told the
young women that personality was
not an accretion. at is not what we
call style in the low sense" he add
ed, "but in the exalted meaning of
that term. There is style you can
put on, but it is not Of that / speak.
That style which one 'ruts on, cal.
be taken off. Sometimes it falls
off-in modern times it washes off.
At all times it fades"
Personality, Professor Payne
stated, ''is an internal quality. If
you do not have real manhood and
womanhood within you, you cannot
paste them on. A woman may add
paint and rub powder, but She may
still be "a rag a bone and a hank

Money Talks.
Two wealthy young degenerates IN
Chicago, after pleading guilty 10 an
atrocious crime, hold the attention OF
a court for weeks. The trial satlsnes
public craving for the morbid and
costs thousands. High priced lawyers
battle on both sides. Every Effort IS
made to save the boys from the moose.
If a pair of degenerate but poor boys
had confessed to such crime now
long do you thing their trial Would
last? And yet they say money does
MT talk.
The Herald cannot agree with the
mobilization day idea and must, per-
force. express an opinion be 1t unpop-
u1ar or not. The statute provides that
cons ress has power to call an assem-
h1v of military forces in case nation
al emergency exists. The president
has no such authority. 1t seems to US
that Coolidge in making call for mo-
bilization of military forces has as
sllmed powers not granted him by the
constitution. The idea may be very
we'll in time of war but undemocratlc
in the piping time of peace. A danger
exists in the public complying for fear
of being dubbed "unpatriotic." The
motive might not be Prussianistic but
meek compliance certainly would be.
It would be pretty pass indeed II
citizen of this country was condemned
for disagreeing with the administra-
tion. There lies the real danger

The Herald concludes that ratfles,
etc. held by organizations in con-
nection with fairs, celebrations ana
other public events are an infract1On
of the state law and clearly within
the purview of gambling. The pr1n-
cinle is the same and the lure is to
get something for nothing, whether 1t
be a ten-to-one shot or a ten thousand
to-one shot. A number of these
things have taken place and so far no
steps have been taken to stop them
because no one wishes to court ABUSE
and unpopularity by complaining even
though they might stand clearly on
the law of the state The writer has
no personal feeling in the matter and
does not think the raffIes harm adults.
We are afraid, however, that they set
a wrong example for children and IN
that respect are not credit to the
older ones.

The Herald has expressed an opin-
ion that no masked parades should be
held in this state, from a standpoint of

legislation forbidding and as long as
the paraders conduct themselves in a

termed a mob" However, we may
shortly see the mask withdrawn and
parades, if any are made, be in the
open. Khan sentiment seems to favor
this.
