Will Doheny Grease
His Way to Heaven?

MR.. EDWARD L. D0HENY has just given 100000
1fl to Los Angeles church The gift is in Mrs
Doheny's name but il is Doheny oil money-out of
the same pot that Albert Fall got 100000 for giving
Doheny's concern the oil leases which resulted in
national scandal.
The idea in the back of Dohenys head seems to be
that the money may help some years hence, when he
dies. II is as if he said to the Recording Angel:
Here's S600,000 Get some whtewash and see how
many grease spots you cover up"
People who work hard and honestly for their money
give dimes and quarters, pnched from meager saw
ngs to the church. Other portions of their meager
savings sometimes go into oil companies.
Some of us up here have evolved the theory that
because lot of the wealth amassed by oil magnates
from the hard savings of the poor the Record
ing Angel isn't writing in the Doheny ledger at ALL
We have the idea he's spreading the 100000 out
over lot of poor folks ledgers, instead.
