A fair and impartial investigation
of the naval oil reserve leases is all
that will satisfy the people of the
United States, since the senate in
quiry has served to stir up scandal
and has proved nothing.
The effort by either party to make
political capital out of the unfortu-
nate incident will be condemned by
everyone who wants to see fair play.
Injection of politics into the senate
investigation has ruined its chances
of accomplishing anything worth
while and the suggestion of bride
having been given to a public official
casts a reflection on the official life
of Washington.
There are far too many people who
believe that public officials are
bribed by the wholesale; far too
many who, in their Unsuitable search
for sensations, want to believe that
our public servants are dishonest, if
they can find the least trace of
evidence to support it.
We must have faith in the men we
elect to office, else our representa-
tive form of government is a failure
We must believe in their integrity
and must rely on their judgment in
matters of public welfare.
When anyone attacks the charac-
ter of an office holder, the motives
involved must be considered and if
tho obar0ac ara hacalaSs tho 70 NJ
should be broadcasted to the world
with the same degree of publicity as
was given the charges.
When political factors become
part of an investigation, it is we'll to
examine the motives.
Political parties are all tarred with
the same brush.-Ex.

Address Mail Carefully.

There is every evidence that the
mailers of incompletely addressed
matter believe that to the postal ser
vice nothing is impossible. The i'm
piled compliment is appreciated but
it must be remembered that this no
longer is the age of the town pump
and that our cities have grown so
that no longer can a mail distributor
be expected to know Everybody in
town"
Mail inadequately addressed and
requiring directory service, Of
course, means delay. Often it must
be return ed to the sender for a new
address. For the lack of a return
address nearly 20,000,000 of these
are sent annually to the Dead Letter
Office.
No matter which course these let
tiers take it means loss of money.
Directory service and the Dead
Letter Office are costly to the Postal
Service. Delay and non-delivery
are, more often than not, costly to
the mailer.
Solicitations for orders cannot
produce results if the customer does
not receive the solicitation. If he
receives it a few hours late a
competitor may get the order which
otherwise would have gone to "you."
Often the solicitation does not con-
tain the street address, of the advertis-
ing firm and then the customers
order is subjected to the same
directory service and resultant delay
which befell that of the advertiser.
Any business or commercial house
knows that the delay to an order Of
ten means cancellation, as well as the
loss of future business. Moral: Put
your street address plainly, not only
on all letter-heads and envelopes, but
on newspapers and magazine adver-
Using
The reaction OF a customer to the
return for a better address of an i'm
portant order can easily be imagined.
If he knows another firm handling
the same commodity he does not at
tempt to locate the one to which he
first sent the order.
Many of the largest and most pro-
gressive firms in the country have
long since realized that while, at one
time, to appear street-addressless
may have given an air of Importance,
! this condition no longer exists. Ac-
cordingly their exact locations now
are registered on order blanks, letter
heads, envelopes and all advertising
On the other hand, many firms
have still to learn this lesson.
Recently list was selected at ran
dom disclosing that PSI business
houses were using stationery upon
which no address was found other
than the city in which they function
ed, and in some cases even this was
missing. These firms represented
the entire category of business, their
products ranging from "accelerat-
ors" to 'zithers.'
1t is felt that a great public SER
vice can be rendered in reducing the
enormous extent of this careless and
extensive practice. The coopera-
ton of chambers of commerce
boards of trade and civic organiza-
tions, and publicity by the press can
go a long way toward relieving the
postal service of this unnecessary
drain and the result will be the saw
ing of countless sums to American
bushes.

good to him then. He was still dis
gustingly selfish, but he was headed
for home and the Father that Jesus
wanted those folks to see. Father did
not compare so unfavorably with the
elite of the personal liberty crowd
any longer and with all the strictness
he knew that he was on his heart-side
the easiest kind of mark, so he took
the road back. Tragic it is that there
seems to have been no hand to help
but then if you want real helpfulness
you have to get it out of the church
crowd and not the personal liberty
bunch. And Father was just the glo-
rious, forgiving soul that has cap
tured the hearts of uncounted num-
bers ever since. In rags or in riches,
ellis boy" was always "His boy" and
the God of Jesus is so joyous over his
return to the Fathers dwelling that
angels notice it. That was the boys
choice as his departure had been, and
that same choosing would lead him
into the Fathers spirit.
THE HOME PERIL
The peril of Gods household lies
in the causes of prodigalhood. Evil
IDENTIFY this home had been orderly
and laws had been enforced else the
product would not have been what it
was. 1t was the picture of old Juda-
ism in action under which one boy had
rebelled and the other had frozen.
And the real danger lay in that elder
brother who had become an external
list instead of a spiritist. He had
none of his fathers imagination and
all of his fathers law, all of his
strictness and none of his love. And
it must have been a riling condition
to have had to live with him and it
was not the memory Of his brother
but that OF father that brought the
return of the boy who came not be-
cause Of brother but in spite Of him.
Father clung to the relationship but
the sun had denied all brotherhood.
He had been scrupuously exact thru
| ali Uhe years but like many church
attendent had never taken anything
away that would serve for a feast
for others. Fine, dependable fellow
he was so that the farm would have
had much less worth without his
work yet his lack of sonship and his
attitude of wage service are chilling
and he was probably the propeller
out Of the home in the first place as
he was the refuser to welcome back
the returner. The spirit Of the faith
ar in the heart Of the son is still the
worlds crying need
