Editorial Comment
Does the Thief Bear All Responsibility?
(New York Tines

(NeW York Tines
Comments Of several sorts are suggested by the
theft from New York hotel this week of jewels
valued at $750,0oo including pearl necklaces
worth the one $45ooOO and the other $l50.O00.
To some people the feeling first excited by read
ing the story is wonder that anybody should con
slider it in any way profitable invest S6OO,0O0
in things little responsive pearls, but it long
since noted that it is a waste Of time to argue
about tastes Whether not the return an
investment is adequate depends the investors
private and personal Judgment, and just because
some people do not much about pearls is no
reason why other people should care about them
Il great deal.
More fruitful than discussion Of "A taste for pearls
lot OF them does not thereby a rattle"
heavy obligation to take great of them in order
that others be not subjected to Il temptation to sted
And after the temptation has not been resisted ana
the stealing has been done what amount of respon-
sibility rests upon the person who, at least once,
has been not careful, but extremely careless, in
guarding great and very portable treasure?
One should not bear down too heavily on this
idea OF obligation and responsibility in such case,
but really pretty good argument for the existence
of bOth in degree or other, could be made
out by anybody at all skilled in the discovery Of
the finer mOraities. OF course. nobody should yield
to temptation but long and sad experience teaches
that when tn, temptation is strong enough every,
body is-Well in danger

Theory of Land Bridge

theory that America and Scotland W"r" once
joined together by bridge Of land is advanced
by three American scientists who have just returned
from geological survey Of the coasts of northern
Europe.
Drs. f. O. rlrich. G. e. Rcsscr and II. NJ. Field
made the survey. They came to the CONCLUSION
they did because a sharp difference was found be
tween the fossils Of ancient marine animals found
the Scottish coast and those loumd on the coasts
of England and Europe.
differences are also found III the fossils found
on the northeastern coast OF Newfoundland and the
southeastern coast OF Newfoundland. But the sur
prising discovery made by the American scientists
that the fossils found the Scottish coast
and those found the northeastern Newfoundland
coasts identical.
Their conclusion, therefore, that lanl
bridge stretched from Scotland to Newfoundland
making it possible for marine life to spread from
the one country to the other, north of the land
bridge, but making it impossible for these creatures
pean end Of the bridge.
1t remains to be how biologists in general
will regard this theory. 1t has been accepted
as fact for a long time by most biologists that
America and Asia were once Joined by a land bridge
where the Bchring Straits flow between Siberia ana
Alaska. This, however, is very narrow body of
water and not part of the great
Most biologists are inclined to believe that the
general distribution Of land and ocean were al
ways approximately they now, though at
times large portions of the land sunk below sea-
level and flooded with shallow bodies of water
flowing in from the oceans.
The theory of a land bridge between Scotland and
Newfoundland it would seem, runs counter to this
belief.
There is theory, however, which has been ad
vanced by European biologists which would
tend to fit in with the landbrdge theory. It is one
though which American biologists have regarded
with little enthusiasm
This is the theory that the continents have not
been stationary upon the surface of the earth but
that they constitute super-sructures which have
moved or slipped along the lower rock structures.
1t is possible, upon the basis OF this theory that
Newfoundland and Scotland may have been mucl
closer to each other at time than they are now

Amendments Carry


Governor Smith won signal victory at the polls
in New York last Tuesday In addition TO putting
over Senator Walker mayor of New York. his
personal fight for the amendments to the consti-
tuition was big factor in their adoption by the
voters of the state.
Two amendments authorize a bond issue of 800,
100000 for public improvements and a $500, 900 900
issue for the elimination of dangerous railroad
crossings. third amendment provides for shor;
ballot and general reorganization of the state gov
ernment outlined cdoriay in these columns
few days ago The purpose of this amendment
is to bring order into the administrative branch of
the state government and eliminate some 100 de-
partmens, commissions and bureaus with dupli-
eating and overlapping functions. This amendment
eliminates several elective Offices reducing the num-
her to Governor. Lieutenant Governor, State Con-
troer and Attorney General
The fourth and final amendment adopted at the
election eliminates from the constitution the pro
vision made for the salaries of the Supreme Court
Justices The power to regulate the salaries is now
vested with the legislature Other changes in the
administration of justice also provided.

TOwn!ey's Methods


One Of our local townsmen telling us of a
visit he made to ROBINSON n d., where this Won
derfu refined oil we'll is located. He says that a.
{. T0wnley has bunk house ,OxSO in which he
has fifty beds, that when he has some visitors
he can sleep them and entertain them. This bunk
house is surrounded by wire fence curved over
at the top, good deal like the fence at our bear
pen in the park is fenced This is done to keen
people from getting in. There is gate which is
kept locked, but if anybody goes there they are
let in by a dOorkcCpcr into the presence of the
great one. Maybe this idea Of rounding them up
inside this enclosure is just echo of the way
they used to conduct those legislative caucuses "a,
Bismarck when Mr. Townle:5 was ring master ana
used to stand in the arena and crack the whip
around the ones who faltered Il little in their all e-
glance to the nonparisan league manager and the

and many people doubt are falling for Mr..
Towneys way of contributing to the oil boom at
500 per throw. There is nothing phony about his
methods, however, He simply asks them for s.,
much money for which he gives in return his per-
sonal note and if his friends are willing to try a II
other oil right new scheme for that amount-that
is their own affair Mr.. Towney is a resourceful
chap and seems to be able to draw quite few to

The Reason

The federal government is making a strenuous
and conscientious effort to keep on reducing taxes
and it is having it's effect; but city and county taxes
keep rising by leaps and bounds
We suggest that this is SO, partly at least be-
cause OF the great carelessness of the American
voter regarding whom he elects to city and county
offices.
When all is said and done, the caliber of our
senators and congressman is fairly high. But, in
many, many parts OF the country, city and county
officials don't measure up.
Economy is word tina is utterly foreign to the
nature of the small-time politician. He doesn't
want to practice it. and he hasn't the capacity to
do it intelligently if he would
And that's reason why city and county taxes
keep rising.
