As to DENLY
(Boston Post, Dem.)


1t Is inevitable, as the aroma of
graft, if not fraud, arises more and
more pungently from Teapot Dome
and its oil leases to private COM
panies, that n deal of criticism be
directed at Secretary DENLY, without
whose approval the leases could not
have beenA made. Some there are
who go So far as to hint that the
Secretary himself is not above sus-
picion.
From what we know and have
heard on good authority about
DENLY. we do not believe that there
is any blot on the mans escutcheon
of honor and honesty. He is a good
natured, tolerant, easy going per-
son. and it was those qualities that
made him too trustful of others.
The trouble with him was that, as
he testified before the committee. he
knew nothing of what was going on,
and simply let "technicalities" slide
when he signed the leases.
DENLY has shown up as weak
sister in this scandal; but we think
the country will regard him as
honest, if henceforth impossible.

Investigation Needed


The charge. reported in a Port
land paper to have been made by
federal officers that their presence
in this city was tipped off by a po-
lice officer, should be thoroughly
siftcd and its exact character deter
mined. The day when policemen can
have any alliance with rum sellers
has passed. or at least is rapidly
passing. While. cooperation of po-
lice forces in this state with other
officials engaged in enforcement is
not all that could be desired, the ten
dency in that direction is decided
and plainly what the people as a
whole want.
If the charge regarding an officer
in this city actually has been made
by federal officers. it should be sub
jected TO proof at once and If sus-
tanned the guilty officer properly
punished. No one wants any more of
this sort of thing going on and Wa
terville certainly does not wnt to rest
under any such suspicion as this,
just or unjust. Give the matter a
thorough airing and see what hap
pens.

RUCTlONS BECAUSE OF ONE
CROP FARMERS

Difficulties always attend the
reign of any one crop. 1t was no
ticeable when cotton was king, when
corn was dominant, 1t is missing up
affairs in the halls of national legis
lation. following the reign of wheat.
an area in which enterprise is
curbed and sometimes threatened by
fluctuations in prices. Ructions
arise in consequence.
The wheat area in this country is
suffering severely because the de-
mand has fallen off and a surplus
accumulated. Naturally the enter
prising wheat grower is looking to
expand his business. If he doesn't
look beyond the end of his nose ne is
in favor of government buying up
his surplus so he can realize a profit.
1t ought not to require much reflec-
ton to foresee the end of this.
Banks that lend money to wheat
growers. politicians and demagogues
VINO Spl llito oIliCe DetiuSe iHey
promised TO bring relief would ex-
Ceedingly REFLECTOR the moment
to have this done. And the latter
are raising ructions in Congress right
now to bring something like this
about. All the country suffers be-
cause they are mussing matters after
the manner of refractory child in
tent on having its own way.
Now there are and there should
be limits to what the federal gov
eminent may do under such condi-
tons. We are not ready to be
Prussianized yet awhile. President
Coolidge is suggesting the only
practicable relief in sight. He would
give the War Finance Corporation
extension of existence to meet this
issue; he would extend credit by
means of fund from which loans
on chattel mortgages might be made !:
he would enable banks to renew the
paper of the farmers. And this is
important IL heeded-he would have
the wheat grower not rely exclusive
ly on growing wheat.
The predicament of the wheat
grower Is not unlike that of the soft
coal miner. The latter does not want
to secure some other kind of en-
ploymcnt, so demands wages suffi-
cient to enable him to live a year
with six months work. The public
should not be forced TO comply. The
public should see to it that those
seeking votes are not permitted to
trade government aid for them, for
the rest of us have to pay the bill.
