Two Attitudes: A Contrast

an investigation with mailed
fists"
"The original Fall-Sinclair
contract for the safe of the
governments royalty oil was re-
newed February 20, 1928, by
DR.. Hubert Work, then Secre-
tary of the Interior"
These two passages are from
a New York newspaper of one
day last week. What a con-
trast they suggest, between the
attitude of the administration of
the state of New York and the
attitude of the national admins
tration toward governmental
corruption!
Connolly, president of the
borough of Queens, a subdivision
of the city of New York, was ac-
cuSed of fraud in sewer con-
tracts. The next day after the
accusation was brought by a
citizen of the borough Governor
Smith ordered an investigation
and named Justice Scudder to
conduct it. When the appellate
division of the court ordered the
justice to suspend the inquiry
the Governor asked the legisla-
ture to enact a law author
lizing the inquiry to proceed,
and the law was passed. The
court of appeals decided Justice
Scudder was disqualified as an
Investigator, and, on the same
day that Justice Scudder with
drew, the Governor named
! Clarence Shearn to succeed him;
and Shearn continued Emory
Buckner, one of the city's most
tireless and successful proseeb- :
tors, as council. At Shearn's re-
quest the Governor sent a spe-
cial message to the legislature
asking for a law to compel the
attendance Of witnesses who had
left the state, and the law was
passed. When Connolly re-
signed the Governor ordered a
criminal investigation by an eX-
traordinary grand jury, called a
special term of court, and APP
pointed Rnckner a special deputy
attorney general to act as pro-
secutor. The trial proceeded,
and Connolly was found guilty
and received the maximum jail
sentence allowed by law.
We look in vain for evidence
of any such interest, on the part
of President Coolidge and his
associates, in bringing criminal
officials to book. 1t is not neces-
sary here to repeat the details of
the story of the Teapot Dome
and other scandals, of the ras-
calities of Daugherty and Fall
and Sinclair. The record is
known gof all men. Coolidge
made no move to get Daugherty
out of his cabinet until he was
driven to it by Senate inquiry,
although the shady reputation of
this Ohio gang politician was a
matter of general knowledge
and his unfitness for office had
been throughly demonstrated.
Coolidge not only did not assist,
but actually discouraged, the eff
forts of the men who were try
ing to bring out the truth about
corruption in the government.
Ancient history-that's all
been cleaned up now" say the
Republicans when people insist
on recalling the oil scandals. But
now it comes out that no later
than last February a contract
for the sale of government oil
to the Sinclair Crude Oil Pur-
chasing Company, based on a
Fall-Sinclair contract of 1922,
was renewed by Work, then
Secretary Of the Interior and
n0w HnovarJa camnai0n mana

in any government officer the
suspicion of fraud.
Altogether a most amazing
action, this renewal of the con-
tract by Work. Protests were
made to the President, and he
directed the Attorney General
to investigate Nothing was
heard from the Investigation
until the New York World pub
lished series Of articles about
the affair week before last; now,
since the matter has been made
public, the Attorney General
pronounces the original contract
invalid. Accordingly deliveries
of oil to the Sinclair company
have been stopped.
Work, being cushioned, says; !;
Il have no comment to make.
People are tired of hearing of
these oil leases"
'They are, remarks the New
York Tetegrd1n, which is sup
porting Hoover, 'but not in the
way Dr. Work thinks. They are
so tired of the oil muck that they
desire to uncover it all and have
done with this national disgrace.
Hoover should mseat Work.
The only question now is when
to unload him. The sooner the
better, in our Judgement. For
the people are tired not only Of
the oil leases, as Dr. Work says.
The people are also very tired of
DIR. Work"
But why complain of Work?
He is just one player in a great
Republican brass band which is
trying to drown out memories of
colossal Repu blican corruption
by a constant blare and boom
about "PrOsperity,"
In his speech hes Hoover alludes
with pride to the record of his
party since 1T came into control
seven and a half years ago
Never" he said in Madison
Square Garden this week, "has
there been a period when the
federal government has given
such aid and impulse TO the pro-
gfesai eot of ootttf ootttf people, Fire Fire 1f2eepu1b=

within one SO short period, ever
have within it's fold such a
shameless gang? God save the
American people if its spirit has
been reflected by such as these!
True, the gangsterS have been
thrown out of the highest places
in the government, But will
they be kept out? The party's
candidate for President is of
course eminently respectable,
but even some of his most ardent
supporters are seized with mis-
givngS about the crowd that
surrounds him. 1--WE have faith

old-line Republican leaders, who

TAMPA, Fla, Nov. 22.-The Inter.

On protest Of the Growers and
Shippers League of Florida and
other shipping organizations the
commission last week suspended a
proposal by railroads 10 increase
minimum weight on mixed carloads
Of citrus and vegetables from $4,000
pounds TO 32,400 pounds, the mini

Citrus fruit is heavier than most

IS
IMPRESSED BY
ARMOUR CARE
u. S. Inspection Guard
To Health, Local
Man Finds OF Visit
To Chicago Plant

F. z. Macmanus. manager of the
local Armour and Co. plant has just
returned from Chicago. where he
spent considerable time studying the
methods Of that company in the
preparation Of meats for public con-
sumption.
He was greatly impressed by the
value OF United States inspection in
the protection of public health.
"0ne of the things which inn
pressed me most on my recent visit
TO the great Chicago plant of Ar
mour and company was & e large
number Of hogs in which the govern
ment inspectors found some evidence
Of disease" he said. "All hogs b.
fore slaughter are inspected alive by
government experts but none are
bought by Armour and Company ex-
cept those which pass this inspec-
ton. In spite OF these precautions
there is a considerable proportion
Of animals which shows infection
from disease upon further examina-
tion of the carcass after slaughter.
"It is worth knowing that only
about two-thirds Of the total num-
Der Of animals slaughtered for food
in this country comes under the
trained Y of these government in
spectors, and judging from the per-
centage Of infected animals found
by Armour and Company among
those IL purchases from the general
run Of live stock offered for sale
on the open market. ] cannot help
being impressed by the danger a
purchaser would run who bought
meat for food which had not been
subject to this thorough inspection
and which didn't bear the govern
ment's stamp Of vholesomeness.
armour and Company cooperate
with the government in making 49,
inspection as effective as possible.

Boost Estimate
On Potato Crop

WASHINGTON, d. C., Nov. o.
With the acreage Of potatoes large
~ increased in nearly all import
ant states as a result Of encourag-
ing prices for three years. and with
the yield per acre the second high
est on record. there appears to be
a large supply Of potatoes in all
parts of the country. says the Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture
in its November l report. The total
production Of early and late pota-
toes Is estimated at 1886 900 bush
els, compared with 406, $4,000 bush
els harvested last season. The esti-
mate for this season includes some
potatoes that may not be harvest
ed and a considerable quantity Of
second grade potatoes that will not
be marketed.
The estimate was revised upward
compared with a month g when
production was placed at 1853. 722, 900
bushels.

As I mentioned before, when the
company buys meat animals they
have already undergone n govern
ment inspection-alive in the stock
yards. After the animals have beer
slaughtered and while they are IN
the course of being dressed. they
are again subjected to thorough gov
ernment examination by government
inspectors.
These men are skilled in detect
ing any evidence Of disease and
their verdict i5 final as to whether
or not a carcass Is fit for consump-
ton. Where they find disease, they
quickly determine whether rne
wholesomeress of the carcass has
been affected or whether the dis
ease has been confined to certain
glands or parts. In this latter event
they may cause the affected glands
or parts TO be removed and pass the
rest of the carcass for sterilization
before IL can be sold for food. In
the event the entire carcass is IN
demned. the animal goes to Il tank
in which il is reduced TO fertilizer,
grease and other inedible materials,
"Carcasses which pass this rigid
examination may be relied on to be
wholesome and free from disease.
Each carcass and each major part Of
the carcass is stamped with a lit
tie label bearing the inscription u.
s. INSPECTED and Passed together
with the number Of the establish
ment or company which slaughtered
the animal. In the case of Armour
and Company. this number is either
one or two. followed by a letter in
dicating the particular plant Of the
company which did the slaughter'rg.
Il don't mean to say that all the
animals slaughtered show evidence
Of disease. That. Of course, is by
no means true. The total percent
are is large enough. however, TO
make the value of government in
spection at once apparent to anyone
who has stood. as I did recently, be-
side the Inspector and watched him
st work.
"Uncle Sam insists on his nephews
and nieces getting good wholesome
meat. 50 far as he can control il.
In this work he has the thorough
cooperation. 7 can assure you, Of
Armour and Company"

AUTO ACCIDENTS

Max Dinsmore and Norman Fost-
sr, of this town, figured in an auto
accident Monday evening, at Ham
morton, Pa, and came through in a
miraculous manner, with scarcely a
scratch. They were enroute to
Philadelphia, and in attempting to
avoid crashing into car that in
turning around had backed directly
n front of them, turned sharply to
one side, their machine going off the
concrete roadway and turning COM
pletely over.
The occupants were thrown out,
and despite the fact that the top of
the big Studebaker sedan was brok-
en- completely off both escaped with
aothing more than minor cuts and
bruises.
Another accident that occurred
The same afternoon was near Not
ingham, when Ford coupe occupi-
I'd by ]. W. Lewis, of Baltimore, and
IN Oakland machine in which were
Mr.. and Mrs. S. C. Jones, of Media,
rashed and while the Ford car was
,adly wrecked the occupant escaped
serious injury, being shaken up and
bruised somewhat, but not badly
hurt. The, occupants of the Oak
land car were not injured, nor was
the car damaged much.

BUILDING APRON AT CONOWIN-
GO DAM

An apron is being constructed on
the Cecil county side of the Como
wingo dam by the Arundel Corpora
ton, several hundred men being en-
ployed on the job, which will take
three or four months to complete.
The Bel Air Aegis says of the apron:
"Of course there is no foundation
to rumors that the dam is in dan
gerous condition. When it was con-
structed an apron was built on the
Hartford side, but none was put on
the Cecil end until effects OF the
water we're noted. 1t is reported
that the great pressure of the water
pouring over has had some effect
even upon the massive native rocks
so that an apron to let the water
roll over gently was considered adj
yisable."
