Buy Responsibility

Leaders in the oil industry have started move
ment to have the American Petroleum institute offer
the Office of president to President Coolidge at its
meeting early next month. This we learn from the
New York Herald Tribune
1t is believed that former president would lend
prestige" to the organization which includes in its
membership the principal oil companies OF the coun-
try Further legislation is to be sought to permit
pooling agreements for restriction of production and
it is thought the industry will need all the influence
it muster" to gain the assent of congress
Men backing the Coolidge idea hold that the in
dustry as whole has not been cleared of the blame
attaching to it from the Sinclair and Doheny scam
dals," according to the Herald-Tribune
The organized oil industry remained silent
throughout the Senates investigation of the footing
of the oil reserves 1t offered help and uttered no
word of condemnation. 1t made no effort to clean
its own house.
Even worse it has retained it's directorate Harry
F. Sinclair Edward L. Doheny. and Robert w. Stew
art all of whom have been prosecuted by the United
States on criminal charges
Now the oil men have the effrontery--if the Her
ald-Trbune is correct-to propose to buy the name
of an ex-Presdent of the United States provide the
Justly suspicious congress from which favors to
be sought.
We believe that President Coolidges answer would
be a short and emphatic
The American Petroleum institute can gain con-
dence and respect only when it outspokeny refuses
to countenance the activities of the Sinclairs Do
henys and Stewards, and removes them from posi-
tons of influence.

Requests to Charity

Payne Whitney left more than
one-fourth of his fortune to char
ity, and again he did nothing unique.
The rich man who fails so to do is
looked upon as queer, if not inhu-
man, and his own class is often first
to criticise him.
Such frame of mind was not de-
veloped by accident. 1t is the prod
uct of education and experience,
especially as they were made posi-
bic in these United States.
The monarchical theory rests on
the assumption that the only way
to make poor people decent is to
keep them poor. The Bolshevist
theory rests on the assumption that
the only way to make rich men de-
cent is to make them poor.
The American theory rests on the
assumption that all classes Of peo-
pie will not only be decent so long
as they feel they have an opportu-
nifty to better their condition through
their own efforts. but that they will
recognize the wisdom of helping one
another.

Must Be Above Board

We have a right to insist on
recognition of national debts, no
matter how great a revolution has
taken place, or what kind of govern
ment succeeds it.
We have a right to keep out any
foreigner whom we think may
create unnecessary trouble in this
country.
But-and this is the important
part-while exercising that right, we
place ourselves under obligations TO
be open and above board in all our
dealings.
In refusing to recognize any gov
eminent, we are under obligations
to state the reasons fully and frank
ly. In refusing any citizen pass
port, we are under obligation to say
why. We are under such obliga-
ton not only as a matter of justice
to those concerned, but for the sake
of an intelligent public opinion at
home.
How can the American people
form intelligent ideas of what this
governments foreign policy is, or
what it ought to be, unless they are
given the facts? How can they vote
intelligently without being able to
form such ideas
1t goes without saying that our
state department should not be ex-
pected to give out every detail, that
cases are bound to arise where more
or less secrecy is desirable
When 1t comes to such an impor-
tant matter as relations between
this government and Russia, as lit
tie as possible should be left to the
imagination.

- SERVICE
Respiratory Diseases PeYiIOMS to Clerks

to and from their places of employ
ment.
A single germ cause for the cold
has not been determined at present.
Investigators incline rather to the
belief that various germs which may
produce these symptoms are con-
stantly in the nose, throat and
respiratory tract generally, and that
they seize upon the body when it is
in a poor condition to resist disease.
1t generally is believed that an
acid condition of the body favors the
infection, that bad anatomical con-
struction in the nose and throat may
aid the establishment of the germs,
that bad ventilation. including pc =
ticularly dryness of the atmosphere,
may play a large part. Constipation
may be associated with conditions IN
the body leading to lowered re-
sistance.
The prevention of colds therefore
involves primarily observations of
simple rules of hygiene in relation
ship to diet, clothing. exercise and
rest, and avoidance so far as pos
sible of immediate contact with
persons who may be suffering with
respiratory disease.

Electric lights however, required more than the in
venton of satisfactory light 1t necessary to de-
wise most of the instruments which go along with the
nghts-dynamos meters, switches line systems and
so on.
OnDec 81, 1879, Edison gave the first public dem-
onstraon OF the use of his lights for street and indoor
lighting at Menlo Park N. j.
In 1880 he found time to invent magnetic ore
separator Then the electric light began to occupy his
attention again.
He opened an Office in New York at IS Fifth avenue
and began to make plans for the commercial manu-
acture of electric lights and the generation and dis
tribution of electric power.
plant was established at Harrison, N. j. to man
ufacture lamps The first commercial station for the
distribution of electric power opened in New York
on Sept A, 1882.
Between then and 1887 Edison took out more than
three hundred patents covering fundamental details Of
the electric power industry.
In 1887 he moved to West Orange N. j., where his
present laboratory is situated.
Before 1900 he had invented the wax photograph
record and taken out eighty patents the phono
graph, he had invented the motion picture camera
and he had made number of inventions which are
diSpensable to the iron ore industry.

The Solution

IN this problem some very I'M
i usual but equally essential lead
ing and diScarding occurs to bring
about the proper result.
South leads the ace of clubs
and North discards the deuce of
diamonds. South next leads the
ten of spades, which West wins
with the jack.
West must now lead a diamond
or a trump. If he leads diamond,
North wins the trick and South dis
cards the king of spades. North
then leads a trump and South dis
cards the ace of spades. Now
North's spades will win the last
three tricks.
If West leads trump to the
third trick, North wins it and
South discards the king of spades.
North then. leads diamond and
South discards fhe ace Of spades.

"RicheS Are No Longer
Looked Upon as a Ii
cenSe to Be Vicious or
TyrGnnicaI."
SAYS:

DAYNE WHITNEY left an estate
Il of $178,000,000. That is a pretty
big fortune, even in this age of
multi-millionaires. 1t was not big
enough, however, to make him a
Snob or tyrant.
Payne Whitney was not exception
al in this respect. Most rich men
in this country are fairly sensible
and fairly democratic. That repre-
sents not only a great change, but
great triumph for the American
system.
Time was, and not so long ago
either, when men could not possess
vast fortunes without abusing them,
when they were not only hated for
their wealth, but justly so.
Riches are no longer looked
upon as liceESe to be vicious or
tyrannical. The idea that they con-
stitute a trusteeship and that those
possessing them are under obliga-
ton to set a good example has gone
deeper than we realize.
That idea is the child of DEM
ocracy. The kind of government
which our forefathers established,
and under which we have lived for
more than $50 years, has created a
new spirit of cooperation.
Men always have recognized the
wisdom of working with and for one
another when it was necessary. The
American system, as we call it, has
taught them the wisdom of doing so,
even though the necessity is not APP
parent.

THE CLASS IN PERJURY
BASTING THE TURKEY
A JULIET WHO SHEWS

THIS story of Thomas A. Edi-
Il sons wrestling with John
Wansmaker some years ago reminds
us of a dinner the great inventor
once gave his statesmen when he
kicked hat, held at least foot
above his head.
He was then about eighty, but
could easily have qualified for the
chorus in musical comedy.
. n
This Chicago gentleman who asks
a divorce because his lady chews
tobacco is entitled to a patient hear
ing. One can see how even the most
highly combustible Romeo would be
handicapped in singing "Oh Fair
Dovew to a Juliet chewing either
plug or fine-cut.

Soviet Cannot Survive

I am one of those who believe
that the Russian regime is impos-
sible: that it cannot survive in its
present form; that it is bound to
be modified or collapse.
The fact that it has lasted eleven
years means little. The Romanoff
regime was as repugnant to our
ideals as it Communism, but we
did not scruple to recognize 1t.
That being SO, why should we
scruple to recognize the Soviet gov
eminent, provided 1t is willing to
admit and fulfill its obligations?
Why should we discriminate against
it's officials, and representatives., if
they desire to visit this country
for no other purpose than to pro-
mote trade?
