Il don't know whether the deal
Hamon tried to pull off had anything
to do with oil leases. If it did, never
heard anything about it. I know it
was some kind of q deal like all the
political deals-where you give me this
and I give you that, and so on.
''All it had to do with oil, as far as
I know, is that Hamon and his oil
crowd tried to pull it,
"Hamon had withdrawn his support
from my father. Then he came back
at the eleventh hour and made this
offer. He was to swing his delegation
for father in exchange for some po-
ltical office.
"Was it for secretary of the inte-
rior?'' he was asked.
II don't know think 1t was.

Lean had sent me a matter to be de-

me to be the best man to ask about it.
THE question was concerning the
attitude Of the Washington Post.
told the Senator tho question was
arising Of how the Post should handle
this matter-whether it should be
non-committal or whether 1t should
publish the official reports or what
II should do-and I asked Senator
Curtis opinion. He gave me his
opinion and that largely Influenced me
and Mr.. Mclean In the editorial pol
icy in the Post. and l think that opin-
ion has largely influenced Mr.. Spur

We'll, you have been publishing the

Yes. but we haven't been printing

Brief Nature Studies
By J. OTIS SWIFT

In fields shaded by swampy woods at Rocky Lonesome, near where the light of to- nights moon will fall on the fairy spring, and where bullrushes and hellebore are neigh bors, the green murkiness fthe jungle is lighted by the dull light-golden flowers of wild parsnip, Pastinaca sativa. This com mon biennial, with strong grooved stem, com pound leaves of many deep green oyal-toothed sections, has a special duty in making lovely mass effects where fields and wet woodlands join.
 Among its relatives of the parsley family are cowbane, Queen Anne's lace, COW pars- nip, water and early meadow parsnip. Poison hemlock, spotted cowbane, musquash-root, or beaver poison, Cicuta maculata, has on its tall branching stalks the reddish-purple mark of the murderer and is poisonous, though sometimes grouped with such beneficent folk as celery, parsley, fennel and carrot. Cattle drinking at pools where poison hemlock grows sometimes tread it down, brushing roots, so juices escape and poison the water
 Conium maculatum is poisonous Euro bors, the green murkiness of the jungle is southward and westward

MONUMENTS AND SENTIMENT

Dedication of the monument erected at the birthplace, in Kentucky, of lief ferson Davis, president of the Confed- eracy, was source of patriotic interest throughout the South. This memorial is an expression by the people of the Old South of their affection for The Lost Cause and the value they attach to the principles which it represented. It re- quired sacrifice by those people to build this monument. It is an important con- tribution in preserving history in it's bearing upon the patriotism and self sacrifice of large part of the nation in contending for what it believed to be right.
 It has been said by some materialists who have been absorbed in the indus trial and commercial rush of modern day life that monuments of this kind are of little value. Such persons lose sight of the fact that business suffers severely from low standards of conner cial ethics, which may be, and frequently are, elevated by inspiration received from contemplation of deeds of thought full and good men. In Southern city which enjoys the reputation for as high business integrity as exists in this coun- try, many of it's leading citizens attrib ute the record in large part to the in- fluence of many monuments erected to the memory of that sections best prod ucts in citizenship. Government, social life, education, without character are all worthless. Shall business, which is in a sense the basis of them all, be made an exception? .- .-..-.-.- .s-~-.
 One (of the most effective ways to
