AN OIL CONCESSION FOR RECOGNITION

Another negotiation" by former Secretary of the Interior Fall and Harry Sinclair has fallen through a concession of 15,O0O square miles of rich oil deposits in the northern part of the island of Sakhalin, which a lower Moscow court has cancelled because the American company did not begin operations within a specified time. But as the American prospecting expedition was expelled from the island by the Japanese, 1t is evident that the Sin clair interests had poor chance of meeting Its obligations.
 It appears that one of the oo- .jccts of the Russian government in making the concession was to have the American interests work for American recognition Of Russia, out this didn't work, The Japanese also want to exploit the oil resources or the island and the Moscow govern ment had promised a concession to the Japanese which overlapped that of the Americans. The Japanese on the strength of these eonces- sions, had recognized the Russian government It is possible that had the American government likewise rendered recognition the Sinclair concessions would not have Deeh cancelled.
 Thus we find rich oil deposits held AS bait for recognition Of Mos- cow Tokio recognized the soviet and Japan gets the concessions' the r'nited States didn't recognize 'he government and the Americans lose tbe concessions. More material con- alterations impinged upon dipio' matic maneuvering could scarcel! be imagined.
 When the American government rocopnizes Russia - if 1t ever does - it won't be in pursuance 10 SUCH considerations of crass materialism' The Japanese have the right to e@- ploit the vast oil resources on the island. and recognized Russia to cain this advantage; but the ohl'eu States follows the more ideallsuc method of basing its foreign pohcy unon principle. The time may co"e when we will need that oil' but the time never will come when we can survive and prosper without pF'h- ] ciple.

of the present law wherever 1t was unpopular. The same mistake should not be made twice,
 Local option in the matter Of permitting motion picture shows on Sunday has worked to the satisfac- ton of all In this state. The law dates from 1919, and despite & veto by Governor Holcomb, 1t was passed by the Legislature over the veto.
 Cities which desire motion pie lures on Sunday have them: cities which do not want them are exer- cisng their right to prevent them. The cities, the motion picture in- tercsts, the public and the etate are well satisfied, The only dissatisfac- ton that exists Tn cities having Sum day motion picture shows is the minority which oppose such oXhibi- tions on general principles, If these could have their way they probably would also wish 10 prevent radio amusement on Sunday; but hap oily that Is something entirely be- yond the mischievous control of any state or body of citizens within a state.

CURZON AT REST
Remains of Late Marquis Are In- termed in Family Vault Under- meath Old Kedieston Church.

Derby, England, March 2s,-The remains of Marquis CurZon of Kedleston were laid to rest today in the family vault beneath the old Kedleston church, which adjoins Kedleston Hall, the Curzon ances- tral home.
 Marchioness Lady Alexandria Curzon, and Lady Cynthia Mosley, daughter of the Marquis, were the principal mourners, but a special train brought many distinguished persons from London. These with workers from the Curzon estate, vil- lagers and people from nearby towns, assembled in the park of Kedleston hall to join In the final tribute to the statesman.
 The Archbishop of York assisted by the Bishop of southwell, ofticiat- ed during the first part of the serV- Ice in the marble hall Of kedleston' where the coffin remained through out the night. Workers from the estate carried the casket to the church for the final service, after which it was lowered into Its rest ine place in the valut.

"AL" SMITH RETAINS HIS TEfluyJnIrIr

Governor Smith of New York has been having his customary warfare with a Republican legislature and is coming out on top Of the heap in rather impressive fashion. The gov. ernor's ideas upon economies are sound enough 10 alienate enough Republicans from the influence Of the state machine to permit him to attain success in his ventures of 1925; which also leads to the sup position that had he been nomi- mated by the Democrats and be- come President of the United States he would have become an unusually capable chief executive,
 The governors chief efforts this year have been an attempt to bring about % per cent reduction in state income taxes - New York be- ing one Of the states where citizens are "blessed" with a state income tax in addition to the one enacted by the federal government and the appropriation of s3Oo,OOo,O 900 by the state for the elimination of railroad grade crossings.
 Both plans give every promise of getting through the legislature, and in the form of constitutional amend ments will be voted upon at re- ferendum. There is no doubt of pub lie sentiment and that the vote at the polls will be favorable.
 While the governor of New York is achieving worthy economic re. forms, commanding the admiration and tacit consent of Republicans, Mayor Hylan of New York contin- ues to suffer a depreciation of po- l litical reputation, according to the New York press. There is a marked difference between the tactics of these two prominent Democrats -- Smith the affable, painstaking and diplomatic; Hylan the dogmatic, egoistic and blatant. Hylan In New York City has the same kind of po- ltical machine at his back which Smith at Albany faces on the other side.

NUTMEG YANKEES aNn THE OLD FOE

The 10th Louisiana Tigers were foes worthy Of any opposing regi- ment's steel. They got their name from the way they fought. Once at Cold Harbor - their battlenag was captured - after every man defending 1t had been killed The ,2th Connecticut regiment carried the bullet-ridden flag from the field.
 This flag has been one Of the cherished possessions of the Con- necticut Grand Army of the Fe- nubIic. Grizzled veterans whenever tbey met, would look upon what IL .vmbolized in suffering and achieve ment and then retell the story or the famous victory that brought II to the state.
 But shades of the indomitaois General Grant, the broad human ism of Abraham Lincoln, the quie' efficiency of General Lee and dasn- ing stonewau Jackson - the Con- nacticut Yankees have no desire to keep this symbol of a lost cause t.o,,, +bair southern friends any longer but will return it to the former owners with a great out nouring of good will and frieno- shin. Sixty years have changed the'F attitude upon public questions - the Tigers and the Nutmeggers are willing to sleep in the same pea and talk of the horrors of the CIVIL War as bygone frolic that haa to be to tlarify their minds and in- duce mutual understanding
 The Louisiana Tigers will pay :" handsome consideration for the re- turn of the old eattlehag' lhe sword of Col. Ledyard Colburn Of Connecticut, captured by the south erners as they upheld their end Of a furious engagement, will be re- turned to Connecticut for the flag The sword has been repoeins III a New Orleans museum.
 It will be a great day when the vets of our most sanguinary con- aict go to Louisiana this summer to escort the tattered and battle i scared Confederate flag and get the rusty sword. As everyone

A BACKWARD ROAD
 PROGRAM

It was brought out at road hearing in the Legislature yesterday that the state highway department had been authorized to construct 300 miles of improved roads by previous legislatures which up to this time had not been built,
 This is an indication of laxlty somewhere in keeping up with the public demands. The fact that past Legislatures had favorably voted to construct these roads Is sufficient proof that the intention was to have them built without unnecessary de- lay.
 The state cannot afford to permit the highway division to get too far in areas on it's authorized construc- tion program. There can be no logl- cal excuse for it. When the Legisla- ture authorizes construction of a road it should be built without fail and without delay. It is useless for the Legislature to authorize roads that are not built, and 1t is time that more business-like methods were adopted in this matter and less of conversation and interminable discussion. The state needs the reads already authorized and others to be authorized by this Legislature-and there is no reason to wait until the next generation to see them con- structed.

EVOLUTION BURIED IN TENNESSEE

Down in sunny Tennessee, one Of the garden spots ots Dixie, a law has been passed and signed by the governor which prohibits the teach ing of evolution in schools support ed by the state. Fundamentaiists consequently are quite elated, while those of the Modernist school think a species of bootleg evolution" will crop up and gain quite as many adherents as would otherwise be the case.
 We doubt however, whether there will be any special text books, deleted scientific volumes, encyclo- pedias or books of knowledge gen. erally issued for use in Tennessee. An investigation of several months has brought forth the conviction that evolution is more than merely mentioned in virtually every refer ence book published. Although evo- lution may not in future be taught in the public schools and state-sup- ported institutions of learning in Tennessee, the printed word will gain access as before, and there probably will be very many more inouisitive and curious people read ing about evolution in the future than have done so in the past, and just because there is a law about

A GOOD IMPROVEMENT
 AT THE CENTER

Big bodies move slowly, so it is said, For this reason. perhaps, 1t took the Connecticut company un- til now to see the advantages of hay Ing patrons get on and off cars on the left hand--or sidcwalk-side of the Center
 For a week or so all double truck cars have been closed to the public from the right. Instead Of being forced to get uncomfortably close to whirring street traffic the public Is able to step 10 or from the side walk The rule holds good for all except the single truck cars, old timers which might be rebuilt to meet the demands of a more flexa- ble service.
 The remarkable point about the innovation is that it took until now for 1t 10 materialize. Because every where else people enter and leave cars on the right, the custom was also adopted at the Center, where as it was self-evident to all observ- CTS that exit and entry on the left at that point was the logical meth cd.
 The improvement in handling pos sengers was a long time coming, but 1t is very welcome. Now if some- thing could be done about the one truck dinky cars the situation would be perfect.

The bill in the Legislature de- signed to permit professional sports An Sunday under a species of local option, which has been favoraoiy reported by the judiciary commit tee, is in line with democratic prin- ciples.
 Cities that do not wish such Sun day sports can prevent themi In those cities where such sports are desired by public sentiment they can be permitted, That is being done at present, although theOreti- cally it is against the law
 r will be remembered that seV- .ral years ago Governor Temple ton vetoed q similar bill, preferrins to retain the present law which seeks to prevent Sunday sports How inc law has prevented sun dav sports in cities where they are desired is known to all observers law that is contrary to puoilc continent simply does not funcuoh' and the sooner law-makers dis' eover this fact the sooner unen' forcea and unenforceable laws VII not be passed.
 It is a condition and not a theory that eohfronts lawmakers.

The holding of the motorman who operated the runaway car which hurled to the sidewalk re- gently and the freeing of the conduc- tor, is in line with logic. Theoreti- cally, the conductor of car or a train is the chief in command, yet the motorman or engineer Is the lookout and has charge of the trot- tie. If there is undue speed at dangerous points, or if cautiop sig nals are passed, it is the motorman or the engineer who is to blame, not the conductor.
