Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
U. Of NJ, Mar. 23.--Coach Frank
Kanaly at the University of Maine
has started proceedings for an eX-
tensive campaign on the cinders this
spring. Kanaly has his men pointed
towards the state meet at Waterville
and has strong hopes this year of
bringing another championship to the
State university.
Maine opens her track season on
April 25 against her New Hampshire
rivals at Durham. This dual meet
should give Maine a good work out
and also give some of the dark
horses a chance to change their
color. There is a strong possibility
that Bates will come up to Orono a
few weeks later and try their skill at
jumping the we'll known gun against.
the Pale Blue speedsters.
Kanaly will have four or five sure
point winners this spring when the
old State scrap starts down by the
railroad. In Capt. Ring. the Uni
versity has practically sewed up the
tall timber event. Ring equaled the
worlds record this winter at the
Portland Indoor games and a couple
OF weeks later he repeated the per-
torrance In the inter- fra ternity meet
at Orono. Art. Hillman. winner of
the mile event last spring and cross
country star, should bring back five
points for his Alma Mater. Drew
Stearns, star pole vaulter and base
ball player, will be sure of place in
the pole climbing event. Bunk"
Barrows and Ginger" Fraser will
snare few points in the discuss and
hammer respectively,
There are several men on the
squad who stand good chance to
break into heavy print this season.
Hank" Eaton. varsity relay star,
should make good bid for the
quarter along with Roundsville an
other relay man. Dan" Torrey,
cross country and relay man, has
been burning up the track all VIM
ter in the half and will be able to
step some in the hurdle events when
the roll is called down FOUNDER.
With the exception of the weight
events. Maine will have a fairly we'll
balanced team and it is being pre-
dicted that Bowdoin will have to ex-
tend themselves this spring if they
expect to take home the bunting.

as a part of his war plans for the
navy"
Referring at another point to Robi-
sons connection with the case, Mr..
Roberts said that the admiral was "a
very plant person in the hands of AL
bert B. FALL" then secretary of the
interior. Mr.. Fall executed the lease
to Harry +. Sinclalr's Mammoth Oil
Company.
Drainage Of Teapot Dome" said
Mr.. Roberts, was not the reason
for the lease. Robson. as chief en-
glneer OF the navy. thought that the
fighting branch OF the government
ought to nave great oil stores. His
egctism in handling the project -or
the navy made him a very plant
person in the hands of Fall. He did
rot care a rap who got the lease
or how it was made, as long as he
obtained for the navy enough roy
atty oil to carry out his plans and
without going to congress for 1t.
Fall had enc object. Robson had
another, and they were wholly diff
terent, but this particular scheme
OF leasing the great reserve met the
needs Of both"
Mr.. Roberts attacked the entire
II
foundation OF law and branded sec
tons as incompatible with the intent
Of the act of June 4. 1920, under
which the transfer of the reserve to
the interior department was made.
AS one contention against the ex-
cuse that the reserve was leased to
forestall drainage by the wells in the
adjacent Salt Creek field, Mr.. Rob-
erts pointed out that the contract al
lowed six months for the drilling of
twenty wells; that only fifteen of the
wells eventually were drilled and
that only three Of these were placed
near the Saddle" or drainag point
between Salt Creek and Teapot
Dome. 1t is significant. he said, that
the great majority of the wells We're
drilled far to the south and away
from the danger point" between the
two fields.
E. H. Chandler, attorney for the
| Sinclair Pipe Line Company. and the
Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing Com
pany, argued to sustain possession
within the reserve of oil tanks an
oil pump and the pipe line easement
which were established in connection
with the leasing program.
The two Sinclair companies are
| co-defendants in the case and the
government alleges they are tres
| passers on the reserve.
J. V. Lacey, of defense counsel
| will begin his argument tomorrow
morning. This argument, he said
will be highly technical and will
| probably require most of the court
| day.

In Florida. where the State FEEDER
alton of Woman's Clubs has been
chiefly responsible for the acquisi-
ton of such state parks as now ex-
list, there is a strong, movement FOR
definite policy of increase in such Ia
cilities, either in connection with

body.
Tennessee is interested in the pos
sibility of a national park in the

GIVE HIM A CHANCE

Once on a time farmers were SAID
to be very independent folk, on the
whole rather proud Of their ability
to hoe each his own row or swing his
own swath. Indeed it has been
thought that this feeling Of inde-
pendence, especially among the New
England farmers, has restrained
them from cooperative effort which
would have been to their advantage.
.. OF late there has been throughout
the country q vast amount OF propa-
ganda looking to government aid,
for this and for that, all offered as
a sure cure for agricultural depres-
sion. The casual reader easily might
get the impression that the agricul-
turalists Of the country had some
where lost their traditional indie
pendence and were seeking to be-
come the automatons Of a Federal
bureau functioning at the national
capital.
8 The new Secretary Of Agriculture
William M. Jardine, evidently con-
cludes farmers are not such q de-
pendent class a. some Of this propa-
ganda would have US suppose. He
declares that the farmer knows leg
] islstion cannot annul economic laws
Good. We had become apprehensive
from reading about the loose talk
which has been made that he didn't
know this. The new secretary calls
for less "tommy-rot". Good again
That only confusss the public, which
should keep in mind that agriculture
deserves encouragement. deserves
recognition. deserves consideration
Of it, undoubted difficulties and
practical assistance in overcoming
them. Give the farmer . fair chance
and II he IL tho man he used to be
he will do the rest.

CONSIDERING THE OREGON LAW


Considerable interest awaits the
decision Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States respecting a law
which has been declared by tte
Federal district court Of Oregon un-
constitutional and which has been ap-
pealed. That is what Is known as
Tho Oregon Law. Under this law
children between the ages Of eight
and sixteen would be required to at
tend public schools. The only ex-
ceptions would be for children
physically unable to attend school. or
those who had completed the eighth
grade, or children from eight to ten
living more than a mile and n half
from school, or those over ten living
three miles from school. and finally
those taught under written permits
sion from the county superintendent
by parents or private teachers.
This law was proposed by in
itiative and adopted by referendum
in 1922. OF this proposed law the
opponents declare that it violates the
Constitution in five ways; impairs
obligation Of contracts; abridses
privileges and immunities Of citizens:
deprives persons Of property without
due process Of law; also Of liberties;
denies equal protection Of the laws.
Ex-senator Chamberlain arguing
in favor Of the law declared that
the States have all powers not ex-
pressly surrendered under the Con-
stitution; that this. law is not uncon-
stitutional: that the passage Of this
act can be sustained under any Of
the two great rights or groups Of
rights possessed by the government
Of the respective States.
It IL urged on behalf Of the law
that compulsory education in the
public schools will encourage patriot
ism: that If the State has mo
power to provide for the education
Of children within its limits. and II
the character Of the education OF
such children is to be dictated by the
parents of such children. or by those
persons by whose influence parents
are controlled, It Is hard to assign
any limit to the injurious effect,
from the standpoint Of American
patriotism, which may result"
| It IL said many Of those proposing
the law admit the time il not
propitious; that there was no
| emergency threatening the state of
Oregan when it passed the law. If
it be upheld by the highest court
manifestly the effect respecting
private and parochial schools win be
felt in greater or lesser degree
throughout the country. The pre-
vailing impression appears to be
that the higher Court will - lain the
decision Of the Federal district court
to the effect that the law is uncon-
etitutional.

ranking on committees is that it
