Mr.. McAdoo' S Oil Retainer.

No wonder W. G. McAAdoo, the hustling
candidate for the democratic nomination for
the presidency, was eager to appear before the
senate committee investigating the oil scan
dal and offer testimony. Mr.. Doheny, the
California millionaire oil man, testified that his
company had paid Mr., McAdoo $150,0O0 for
legal services and admitted that he was pay
ing him a retainer of $4,000 a year as his
attorney.
Mr. McAdoo, no doubt, is interested in estab-
fishing himself in public opinion as merely an
attorney who accepted legitimate employment.
That is what the transaction appears to be.
The former secretary OF the treasury on leav-
ing the cabinet of President Wilson, engaged
in the practice of law. That was his announced
reason for quitting public life. He wanted
to earn larger income, and when he went
to Los Angeles he opened Offices and went
to work
In justice to Mr.. McAdoo it must be said
that he had right to accept employment from
Mr. Doheny the oil man, or from anyone lese,
That was exactly what Mr.. McAdoo wanted,
work that would bring him liberal fees He
was lawyer, one of influence, shrewd, inform
ed clever. Mr. Doheny evidently believed
he was getting good lawyer as Mr.. McAdoo
was bound to have reflected that he had OBJ
tanned a splendid retainer and promising
client There is no connection whatever SO
far, between Mr. McAdoo and any part OF the
scandal attaching to the loan advanced to
Mr.. Fall That evidently is what Mr.. McAdoo
wishes to let the senate committee and the
people understand.
Public opinion, however, when it considers
politics is likely to establish connections hurt
full to a candidate in a national election. 1t
is certainty that Mr.. McAdoo is not pleased
over the development OF the information that
he was employed by a multi-millionaire oil
operator at an enormous retainer. The cor
poration lawyer who seeks public Office al
WAYS has a difficult time in convincing the
public that if elected, he will forget his former
connections and apply himself to the JOB in
the interest of the people
In justice to Mr. McAdoo the people
ought to understand exactly what the situation
is in reference to himself. Then if he can win
the nomination or the office on merit let him
do so

Death Penalty for Women.
From the Macon News

Commenting on the disposition shown re-
Gently by trial uries i'll Georgia and else
where to impose the death penalty upon wo-
men who are proved guilty of murder, the
Savannah Morning News gives expression to
a rather interesting viewpoint.
The Savannah paper thinks that the reason
for lenency in this respect in the past was
due largely to chivalric consideration Tor the
weaker sex" a sort of feeling OF pity for
them because, like orphan, or step-child,
they didn't have much Of chance, anyhow,
and that, nowadays, with women voting, help
ing to make laws. elbowing men folk in the
business world. demanding equal rights and
otherwise making their presence known up and
down the world, the old-fashiOned consider
ton for them is passing away; that the male
of the species is becoming more and more de-
termined to make the erstwhiie weaker sex
take its medicine along with the men, even
unto the death penalty where murder is in
vo1ved.
The Morning News goes even further and
expresses the belief that "chivalry IS having a
hard time staying alive" since woman has en-
tered those fields OF human endeavor hereto
fore sacred to man, and is demanding that
she be accorded ali the rights and privileges
formerly enioved exclusively by the latter.
There is no doubt that in a good many IN
stances the women are getting exactly what
they asked for when they entered the held OF
notifies and business, but doubt II this has
ANYTHING to do with the very marked change
~ attitude on the part OF our Juries when wo-
men are arraigned on charges OF murder. 1t
inst naturally goes against the grain OF the
average white man to vote that a woman shall
die regardless OF how deserving OF the death
penalty her conduct may be in the eyes OF the
law.

Nuisance Tax to Go.

Some persons who consider all taxes nui-
sances may expect too much i'll the announc-
ment that the house ways and means commit
tee has decided to repeal levies which will re-
duce taxation amounting to $103,000,000. War
taxes on theatre admissions, on beverages
and on various other services and commod-
tiles are the nuisances to which the commit
tee has given its attention. Some have been
repealed and others have been cut in half.
ANY relief is welcome to the great mass of
people affected.
Nuisances taxes, such as those on admis-
sons, telephone and telegraph messages, soft
drinks and the like amounted in each case to
only few cents The fact that the levy was
included in the selling price prevented the
nuisance from annoying the public in an ex-
fensive degree. The purchaser of a COM
modify usually paid whatever was demanded,
without thought to the amount OF the war
tax. Millions of dollars poured into the
federal treasury in this way. And that was
what counted. A little here and little there
made in a former congress. The levy was ap-
proved in a former congress for the reason
that it could be handled in such way as
would distribute in the widest manner posi-
Bile the burden to be carried.
It is noteworthy that the decision to repeal
the taxes was reached by a non-partisan vote
which suggests that politics did not enter into
the agreement Suggestions made in the
tax reduction plan offered by Secretary Mel
Ion and that of the democrats were included
That is rather good way to reduce taxes
The compromise plan is excellent in making
real progress. AS far as the result is con-
cerned in the eyes of the public, the bench
cary, less attention will be given to which
party was responsible for the increasing OF a
burden or which should be given credit Tor
Tightening the load The people are more
concerned with the effect upon themselves
Summed up, the decision to repeal the nul-
sance taxes is good news. 1t indicates a
movement in the right direction-a general
reduction in taxes, for which there IS de
mand on the part of all the people

RUDE RURAL RHYMES
WALKING BY FAITH

AS hair grows thin upon my head | have
to wear it longer; and as the strength OF
youth is less philosophy is stronger. l look
with wiser, kinder eyes on all things here be-
low. | see mems footsteps moving toward
goals they do not know For all of US, or
high or low, see something in the distance
toward which we throw our awkward feet
with more or less persistence We spend
our strength through all our years, still hop
ing to attain it, but likely see the night OF
death fall dark before we gain 1t. NO high
brow buried deep in books can furnish ex-
plantation; it takes some good old-fashioned
faith to give us resignation. This earthly
life is incomplete, and no real goal is in it;
we are not here to win race, but only to be
gin it. We reach no stars they only guide
and show the right direction. Let's DO
our darndest day by day, for that is what
we came for be less concerned with what we
hit and more with what we aim for.
