Operative L.36'

Government counsel prosecuting Fall and
Sinclair upon charges of conspiracy growing
out Of the naval oil lease scandals presented
information tending to show tampering with
the Jury in that case The court ordered a
mistrial and the charges were investigated by
grand jury.
In the course Of that investigation, the de-
tective agency charged with 'shadowing" Jur-
ors countered with an affidavit alleging the
government had tried to tamper with the jury.
The agency insisted it was merely trying to
prevent such "illegality."
The reports of Operative L-36" were the
basis of the agency's charges aimed, apparent
", at Assistant Attorney General Lamb. Now
comes one William J. McMullin, averring that
he is "L-36'' and that the affidavit and the re-
ports upon which it was based are false. For
a week "L-36" says he has been working with
the government while ostensibly still an opera
tive for the detective agency. He insists that
he signed the affidavit, denounced by him as
false, because he was ordered to sign it by
agency men.
The more this Fall-Sinclair mess is stirred
the worse it smells. There were predictions
when the mistrial came that new scandal
uglier even than the original oil cases would
result Those predictions seem about to be
verified.

A Pershing Boom

According to Chicago newspaper, General
Pershing is in receptive mood as to presiden-
tial honors, and it goes without saying that
being in receptive mood and also being man
of resources and of active friends, sentiment"
in favor of his nomination is discoverable. Re-
publican nomination is in mind.
This is somewhat unusual opportunity for
dark horses, particularly in the Republican
camp The entry list is wide open, and if Pres
ident Coolidge definitely will not accept re-
nomination the chances of dark horse are
better than usual. And even if there may be
possibility of drafting the president for an
other running, by virtue of last-minute emer-
gency, the dark horses will all have an oppor-
tunity to come out before the emergency can
be declared.
General Pershing's candidacy was suggested
in 1920, but it did not get far. It is not at all
unlikely that, if circumstances were to develop
in which the dark horses of the field were to
be brought up as real entries, he would be
stronger today than in 1920, when the war was
just over and his military achievements were
in every mind

When a Comma Counts
(Seattle Business Chronicle

Seattle Business Chronicle)
Editors should be careful Of punctuation, re-
marks Commerce and Finance, after present
ing as the text for paragraph this sentence:
Woman, without her man, would be savage.
The statement is open to debate. There are
those women who are better off with a man
looking after them or for them to look after
there are maiden aunts, and lady school-teach-
ers; there are busy women intent on the social
uplift; there are rich and idle women; and
there are those women usually unmarried, who
achieve their greatest fling telling a congress
of mothers how to raise children. But those
women are not savage; not all of them.
Getting back to the text, here is what the
writer intended to say: Woman! Without
her. man would be savage
All Of which goes to show that the innocent
looking comma, if misplaced, may become q
source of real danger.

Editorial Comment
The John Alden of Virginia
(Pathfinder)

\IdlullIlUCTJ
The courtship of John Alden and Priscilla
Mullens had counterpart in Virginia. "The
John Alden of Virginia" was the Reverend John
Camn, who was president of William and Mary
college from 1771 to 1777. The romance of
the parsons life came to him when he was 81
years old, which was two years before he be-
Came president of the college. Among his
Pensioners was Miss Betsy Hansford, whom
he had baptized in the early days of his min
istry. A young friend, who had courted Miss
Betsy without success, asked the parson to aid
him with his eloquence. Camm, accordingly,
called upon the lady and, among other authori-
ties, quoted the Scriptures as enjoining matri-
mony as one Of the duties of life. His persua-
sions had no effect
Finally, however, Miss Betsy told the par
son that if he would go home and read II Sam
uel 1877 he would learn the reason for her re-
fusal. Upon reaching his home and searching
the Scriptures he found these words staring
him in the face: "And Nathan said to David
Thou art the man." The marriage of Miss Bet
sy Hansford to the Reverend John Camm was
announced soon afterwards.

arrive nearl, . month ahead Of the
tree sparrows though remaining as
late. Although they spend about
three months with us, or nearly as
long as some Of our summer resi-.
dents.
Lapland Longspurs Winter Here
During the pleasant days Of late
fall, large flocks Of small birds may
be seen flying southwark across the
prairies. These are the Lapland
longspurs, which nest on the arctic
tundras and wander over the fields
Of central United States in winter.
A good many Of them usually re-
main in North Dakota during the
winter. Small parties Of horned
larks may be seen at the same time.
These birds are mora widely dis
tributed, some staying with us
through the summer, others in win
ter. Late fall may bring us also
strictly northern birds such as snowy
owls, redpolls, snow buntings and
Bohemian warnings.
It may be kept in mind that in
dividual birds do not usually remain
through the lengths of time men,
toned. New groups are contiuu-
ally arriving and other departing.
Some individuals probably stay but
. day or two, and some may re-
main for many days. Reports are
frequently seen Of birds which have
remained unusually late or even
through the winter. This may be
due to exceptionally favorable food
supply, but the occasional individ-
uals probably are to b classed g
mentally deficient.
Even those birds viii i we regard
q permanent residents may have

chickens seem to have Z distinct
southwark movement in the fall.
The white-breasted nuthatch may be
found IN our woods at all seasons,
but in fall and spring they often
are quite common in our groves and
yards away from the woods. These
probably are birds from farther

NORTH DAKOTA BIRD NOTES
BY @. A. Stevens
North Dakota Agricultural College

The fall migration Of birds in
general is the reverse Of the spring
flight. Those birds which come
first in the spring are the last to
leave in the fall. The wild geese
and the mallards appear in the
spring as soon a. the ice has melted
and they remain in the fall until
the water is closed by ice once
more. Robins come with the last
days Of March when the ground
begins to thaw, and remain until
October when freezing begins
again. The meadowlarkC are just
= little more venturesome than the
robins, coming few days earlier
and staying until late October.
Birds which feed entirely or chief.
j. upon active insects are Of neces.
sfty warm weather species. The
kingbirds, orioles, martins, chimney
Swifts and cuckoos delay their m
rival until late May when frosty

Washington, Nov. 21.-It probably
is mere coincidence that the best
newspaper woman in Washington is
also the most attractive and the
most feminine.
She is one of 10 girls admitted
to the house and senate press gal
leries among more than 800 men.
Her name is Ruth Finney and she is
correspondent for the San Francisco
News and other Scripps. Howard
newspapers over the country.
Miss Finney found herself in the
news last month when the FALL
Sinclair oil trial opened and defense
attorneys asked prospective jurors
whether or not they had read any
of her stories in the case. Miss Fin
ney has q faculty Of putting known
facts together and letting them draw
their own conclusions.
The Fall-Sinclair lawyers didn't
want anyone on the jury who might
have been impressed by her articles.
She is reputed to know as much or
more about The oil cases than any
newspaper man in Washington.
After q mistrial had been declared
and an Investigation begun, William
]. Burns INDUCED in some fancy
cussing during an interview with
newspaper reporters outside the
grand jury room and Miss Finney
made careful note Of the fact in her
next days story, much to the open
disgust Of a person named Burns.
Miss Finney's fame has spread so
far that the other day she blossomed
out as public speaker on invita-
ton of the Ohio Newspaper Wom-
ems association, meeting in Toledo.
She talked about newspaper work
for women in Washington and else
where, with feminist touches.
There were women III the press
gallery years before the civil war;
she said. Political newspaper work
is easier for women in Washington
than anywhere else. In covering
state legislatures and home politics
most information is obtained in
hotel rooms and Hobbies or in saloons
or elsewhere, over q drink.
