FASCINATING BUT pIsQuIETINc

Senator Borah, "the friend of the
people. cooperating indirectly if
not directly with the Sinclair oil in

this does appear q strange and very
complicated world at times. No
sooner does one get all "het up

tion than 10, 1t Is said to have been
engineered by manipulators, some Of
whom hail from Teapot Dome!
This is the burden of the tale Ca. Ter
Field relates to the N. Y. Herald
Tribune. He tells us that it was the
favorite theory of Washington
diplomats of countries other than
Japan and America that Japan made
SO much fuss over California's alien
land laws to force this country to de-
sist from its protest against the
seizure by the Japanese of the
northern part Of Russia's Saghalin
Island, where there is estimated to
be from one to three billion barrels
of oil. to say nothing of the valuable
coal deposits. At the Armament
Conference Japan was induced to
withdraw from Northern Saghalin.
Then the Sinclair interests sent
Albert B. Fall to Russia to secure an
OIL concession in the northern part
Of Saghalin.
This was obtained subject to our
governments recognition of soviet
Russia. Certain Of our State De-
Iartment officials are said to have
characterized this as a most brazen
attempt to buy action of the U. S.
Government. 1t is in evidence that
soviet Russia hasn't a very high re-
gard for anything other than it's own
desires. and 1t may be found not
alone in this.
The Japanese arrested the en-
gineering expedition which Sinclair
sent to Saghalin. Russia made. re-

to that country the concession and
has taken steps to annul the Sin

Night Song

Night Song
The moon is up in splendor.
And golden stars attend her;
The heavens are calm and bright:
Trees cast a deepening shadow,
And slowly off the meadow
A mist Is rising silver-wllite.
Nights curtains now are closing
Round half world reposing
In calm and holy trust.
All seems one vast still chamber,
Where weary hearts remember.
No more the sorrows of the dust.
