Solution of Oil Problem Seen
In Proposed Interstate Pact

owned fields when Mr.. Hoover Withdrew
such lands from further leasing indi-
cate that this Is no idle dream. It is
by no means impossible that, in the
long run, Government regulation of the
oil industry will become as necessary
as Government regulation of the rail-
roads. This would, of course, involve
price fixing, just as it has in the case
of the railroads, and Mr.. Hoover Is OPP
posed to price fixing on general prin-
cipleS. But If all other remedies failed,
then Government Intervention. even to
the extent of price fixing, would become
necessary"
In confirmation of these suggestions,
the Butte Montana Standard comments: :
1--WE have been lectured a lot about our
duty to poSterity. That obligation is
admitted by all. Still there seems to be
a consensus of opinion that the present
generation should not be impeded or
handicapped In the great task of de-
velopment and progress with which the
citizens of this State are engaged. They
have overcome many difficulties. The
Wanted resources of the region have
been closely guarded. Progress has been
beset with obstacles that older regions
Of the country have not known. These
are considerations which, perhaps, re-
ceived little attention when the new re-
Strictions upon oil development were de-
termined at Washington" The Stand
ard contends that its own State and
Wyoming will bear the brunt", of the
Government policy.
The Great Falls Tribune suggests
that the Government might conserve
the tremendous losses now known to be
everyday occurrences in States like Ok
lahoma, Texas and California, and per-
NIT Montana and some of the other
States to go ahead with legitimate de-
velopment work"

majority Of their problems were such
as to need the services of 3 psychiatrist
able to probe to the basis of the fears
and drives which determine human des-
tiny. But the prncticing psychiatrist
does not get the cases. Of normal peo-
pie. Patients are brought to him only
after they have passed the border line
Of abnormslity.
The experiment showed the need Of
such an institution so strongly that
Rev. Mr.. Lowell win reopen it next Fall
for an entire year. The eyes Of the re-
ligious world will be upon the progress
of the work. 1t is interesting to note
that some OF the foremost physicians
and psychiatrists in washington are
devoting their services free. because Of
their interest in the experiment. Rev.
Mr.. Lowell himself credits DR.. william
A. White, superintendent Of st. Eliza
beth's Hospital and one Of the fore
most psychiatrists In the United States,
FOR much of the inspiration which led
him to open the clinic.
The average person lives behind q
mask. Watch persons passing along
the street, says the minister. They talk
and. smile and seem perfectly happy
Yet, mine out of ten" of them are
bearing up under secret fears and sor-
rows Of which the world has no real-
zation. These are the patrons of the
Life Adjustment Center.
It is quite different from q mental
hygiene clinic, such as Is about to be
established by the Council of Social
Agencies. This will deal mostly with
persons who display definite behavior
abnormalities. Willard c. Smith, pres
ident of the Monday Evening Club,
which has sponsored the plans for the
clinic up to this time, estimates that
there are ut least five thousand in
Washington, many Of them In the pub
lie schools, who require this sort Of
treatment. .Kt
But the Life Adjustment Center deals
mostly with those who do not display
abnormalities, but, who need more
strength to bear heavy burdens.

Jones Law Puts Fear
Into Alcohol Trade

From the Kansas City Journal-Post
The Jones act seems to have given
new vigor to enforcement officers and
caused terror to law violators which the
volstead act never inspired. The GER
tainty Of Jail or penitentiary sentences
caused alarm among keepers Of drink
establishments, who we're always ready
to add fines and the cost Of legal de-
tense to the overhead. But there is no
way Of passing jail or prison sentence
on to the customer.
Some of this may be ascribed to the
traditional activity of a new broom But
determined sweeper can WELD q broom
with systematic regularity and yigor.
If the entire enforcement service gets
the idea that the broom Is to be used
without fear or favor, continuously in
stead of sporadically, there win be far
more effective and impartial enforce
ment OF the law than has been hereto
fore known.
It is reported that many saloon keep
erS In the larger cities have closed their
places outright. Transfers of manage
ment, and OStensibly of ownership, have
not. been uncommon, but the actual
closing Of places is something new.
There Is another unusual manifesto
ton of activity. Some Of the higher
grade clubs, which served liquors to real
members, have been raided. The stew
ord of the Oldest and most popular club
at Springfield, ILL., patronized by men
of high political standing, either tenn
porarily residents or visiting at the. cap
ital, was arrested the past week and al
the stock OF liquors was confscated.
Systematic, regular enforcement Of
the law. win work wonders and, contrary
to the expectations OF the opponents OF
prohibition, such rigorous impartial en-
forcement will not make the law linpop-
ular. It is whimsical. sporadic enforce
ment, showing Partially, that Is ilnpop-
ular.

A Kentucky Test.

The Republicans made greater gain
IN congressional strength in Kentucky
in the elections last November than in
any other Southern or border State. Six
seats In the House Of Representatives
formerly held by Democrats were won
by Republican candidates as President
Hoover carried the Blue Grass State
over the Democratic nominee, Alfred e.
Smith,. This was tremendous turn
over, leaving the Democrats only two
members of the entire Kentucky dele
cation in the House. Heretofore the
Democrats have held eight of the eleven
House seats and the Republicans three.
The recent death Of Representative
elect g. w. Roark, the Republican who
captured the hitherto Democratic third
Kentucky district, win make necessary
q special election to I'LL the vacancy in
the House. And this election will, in a
measure, provide test to determine
whether Kentucky is really becoming
more Republican or whether 1t was the
opposition In the State to election Of
Mr.. Smith as President and the prefer
ence for Mr.. Hoover that was entirely
responsible for the results in the gem
eral election last Fall.
Already John w. Moore, who was the
Representative Of the third Kentucky
district during the last Congress. and
was defeated by Mr.. Roark for re-elec-
ton, has announced his candidacy on
the Democratic ticket for return to the
House. Mr.. Moore succeeded the late
Representative Thomas, Democrat,
Who represented the district for many
wears. The third district has been .
reasonably close district, however, with
4 very considerable Republican popula-
ton. Back in 1916 Thomas carried It
BY 1914, and in the Harding landslide
81 1920 he was again elected, but by
only 657. Two years later Thomas had
y lead Of 1875 over his Republican cp-
Inonent Nooge carried The district -

The New Judgeship.


BY training, experience and natural
aptitude Alfred A. Wheat of New York
is undoubtedly qualified for the men,
bership on the District Supreme Court,
for which he has been chosen by Presi-
dent Hoover. He will take his place
as Judge on distinguished bench with
the good will and the good wishes OF
the Washington community he now
must serve. He is congratulated upon
the honor and distinction that come to
him as a reward for meritorious service.
But at the same time, fortunately able
In this case to dismiss personalities and
confine discussion to the issue involved,
Washington regards with regret and q
keen disappointment application Of the
principle of filling local Offices by the
selection of men whose residence and
Affiliations have marked them as being
strangers, crediting such appointments
to the States and overlooking entirely
the field of qualified and able candi-
dates presented by our own community.
If there was no such field, this ques-
ton, of course, could not be raised.
The Presidents duty requires him to
choose the best of available material,
without regard to the business Of salts
flying local pride. But Washington'S
bar has always numbered in its MEM
bership men who possess the qualifica-
tions and who hold the respect, the
esteem and the Endorsement Of the
community. This was true in the pres
ent instance. That the President failed
to take the opportunity of filling local
office by the selection of Washington
man, and appointed, instead. one
who previously had been recommended
for Federal judgeship in New York,
Is the source of keen regret. This is
accentuated by study of the list Of
nineteen distinguished citizens of New
York who sponsored the selection OF
Mr.. Wheat. Among them one fails to
find the name of single Washing
tonian.
, No such condition conceivably could
exist in the States, blessed with the
privilege of actively participating in the
construction of the Nations political
machinery, expectant Of and demanding
the rewards of good citizenship. But
here in politically innpotent Washington
there Is the ever-present threat which
lies in the bestowal Of rewards in the
name of political expediency, with the
local community holding the bag and
taking the consequences.
In the case of Mr.. Wheat there Is
nothing of the sort to be feared. The
President has selected man who came
to Washington in his youth, who re-
ceived his legal education here, who
served the community as teacher In
the public schools, and who, after
transferring his residence and his in
terests to Brooklyn, came back to Wash
ington as public servant. He Is not,
therefore, an unknown stranger. His
ability has been tested in the exacting
ONCE of assistant solicitor and acting
solicitor general Of the United States.
The President could have gone farther
afield than he did, and Washington is
glad that he did not.
