CONSERVATION OF
NATURAL RESOURCES
OF ROOSEVELT-TAFT-WILSON ADMINIS
TRATIONS BEING PILFERED BY HARD
ING’S PARTY.
By RICHARD LINTHICUM
(Special Correspondence.)
AN OPEN LETTER.
Washington, May — Discussing his
amended resolution for an investiga
tion of the naval oil reserves leasing
scandal, which subsequently was
adopted, Senator LaFollette, repub
lican, Wisconsin, paid tributes to Sen
ator Kendrick, democrat, Wyoming^
who brought the secret lease of the
Wyoming reserves to light; to former
Secretary of the Navy Daniels for
resisting the efforts of the oil monop
olists to obtain control of these naval
oil reserves and to the administrations
of Presidents Roosevelt, Taft, and
Wilson in upholding the policy of na
tional conservation and for preventing
the natural resources belonging to the
people from falling into the hands of
private interests and privileged class
es.
Of Senator Kendrick he said:
“Ever watchful of the public inter
est, the junior senator from Wyoming,
Mr. Kendrick was the first member of
this body to call the attention in a
public way to what had been done.
The junior Senator from Wyoming in
troduced a resolution calling the at
tention of the Senate and the country
to the leasing of naval reserve No. 3,
located in Wyoming, the richest of
all the naval reserves. He first in
formed the public that this lease had
been made without open competitive
bidding to some favored party. That
brought the matter to my attention.
“The able Senator from Wyoming
.‘took the initiative in this matter by
his resolution focused upon it the at
tention of the public. For that action
he deserves the gratitude of the coun
try. I propose to support and sus
tain him in the stand he had taken.”
Of the former Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, lie' said:
“The ti;uth compels me to say that
when Josephus Daniels was Secre
tary of the Navy lie did not supinely
surrender to these oil-grabbing cor
porations. I have read from the testi
mony of the Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, who during his entire ten
ure of office resisted the efforts of the
oil monopolists of this country to take
within their control the last remnants
of the public domain reserved for the
use of the Navy of the United States.”
Of the three preceding administra
tions he said:
“It is true that over an unbroken
period of more than a decade three
presidents—Roosevelt, Talft and Wil
son—maintained the policy of conser
vation in respect to the natural re
sources of the public domain which
has now been repudiated and reversed
during the first year of the adminis
tration of President Harding.
“Some time after the present ad
ministration came into control of the
government the public was informed
that a movement was on foot to trans
fer from the Navy Department to
the Interior Department the control of
the naval oil reserves. The change
of policy under the Harding adminis
tration goes much further than that
It involves the forest and it involves
the coal lands.
“I say now, and I sound it as a
note of warning to my Republican col
leagues, that you had better halt this
administration upon this course. We
cannot afford to permit a record to
he made here which will parallel the
record of Mr. Ballinger, Secretary of
the Interior under the Taft adminis
tration.”
The unanimity with which Senator
LaFollette’s resolution for an inves
tigation of the oil leases was adopted
indicates that the wester Progressive
Republican Senators will stand by him
and Senator. Kendrick in upholding
the policy of conservation and that
the reactionary Republican Senators
do not care to openly oppose it.
Editor of The News: Knowing that
your splendid paper stands for the best
interests of Fayette county, we are ask
ing you to give space for this letter.
To the prospective candidates for
the high offices of senator and repre
sentative of this county (just a word),
a mere announcement of your candi
dacy in the paper will not suffice.
There are questions of vital import
to be discussed. We want better
schools in the country. When they
say to us, thus far shall you go and
no farther, -we (question the authority
of any board to use such power.
We need nine grade schools out in
the country. We need to have a voice
in who constitutes the board of educa
tion. This board ought to be elected
by the people at the ballot box. We
need better roads as the first step
toward consolidation, and (we want to
put these candidates on notice now
that they must declare themselves. We
do not want any evasion of this great
question—give us a road that will near
ly split the county east and west, north
and south; we want to know what you
will do, and what has been done with
the taxes raised and are being raised
from the automobiles.
Either repeal the law, or give each
county its phare. There has been
enough money raised this way to pave
every main road in Fayette county.
We want to know where) you stand
on law enforcement.
Are you ready to lend your voice
and influence to suppress the lawless
blind tiger business. Have you, or are
you- willing to |go on record as favor
ing the reading of the Bible in our pub
lic schools?
If you altogether hold your peace at
this time, there shall be an enlarge
ment and deliverance from other
sources.
The common people will be heard at
thej ballot box this fall, ian<l woe is
that man who fails to speak so that
the people will hear and understand.

The Commencement Exercises of
the Brooks Consolidated School will
be held in the school auditorium Fri
day evening, May 12th.
The exercises this year' institute a
new era in the Junior High schools of
the county. This is the first class to
graduate in two years and is the first
class to meet the full requirements of
a Junior High School.
Greater improvement in the school
courses will be instituted the coming
year as the county hopes to add to the
corps of teachers an accredited demon
strator to take charge of pib clubs,
tomato clubs, etc.
A program will be remembered by
the Senior Class. The members of the
class are: Abram Steinheimer, presi
dent; May Howell, vice president;
Jesse Stephens, secretary; Nellie A.1-
mon, Callie Ree Padgett, Leslye Hen
derson.
The principal and teachers take this
opportunity for thanking the patrons
and the community for their interest
and co-operation in making this their
most successful year.
Washington.—In a detailed state
ment concerning the prosecution of
war fraud cases, prepared at the re
quest of the president, and recently
transmitted to the house, Attorney
General Daugherty declared that exam
inations so far completed disclosed in
each instance “sufficient indication
that a crime has been committed to
warrant submitting them to. a grand
jury.
Presented on the eve of a Republi
can caucus, called to consider a legis
lative program, including a Republican
resolution for investigation of charges
of alleged laxity in prosecution by the
department of justice, the attorney gen
eral’s letter provoked a partisan row
in which Representative Garrett (the
Democratic leader) broadly intimated
that it was intended to smother the
proposed investigation.
Taking issue with the attorney gen
eral, Representative Woodruff, Repub
lican (of Michigan) declared the for
mer was requested six months ago to
appeal to congress for half a million
dollars to clear up his war-time docket
and that he never acted until Republi
cans had assailed the department in
the house. Mr. Woodruff reiterated
that unless the attorney general al
lowed the courts to decide the pending
case against the Lincoln Motor com
pany “on its merits, I will move his
impeachment in the house of repre
sentatives.” That Michigan represen
tatives asserted that a Republican con
gress could “not face the country in
an election unless it clears up war
fraud cases which smell to high
lieaveh.”
It is a terrible thing, the attorney
general wrote the president, to charge
a citizen with robbing his government,
and for that reason he had insisted
upon a painstaking investigation of all
cases involving charges of criminality.
It was regrettable, too, he declared,
that public attention “should have been
so strongly focused on these cases on
the eve of their prosecution.”
Tracing the various stages of litiga
tion, Mr. Daugherty said that after
hearing counsel for the receiver and
others interested he had concluded that
the matter should be submitted to
judicial determination “and, according
ly, the government’s claim was filed
within the time allowed.”
In this connection the attorney gen
eral sent the president a letter from
Federal Judge Arthur J. Tuttle of the
eastern district of Michigan, referring
to “the recent newspaper notoriety”
and saying that Representative Wood
ruff was “entirely mistaken in making
criticism” of the attorney general and
the department of justice “in anything
which has happened or failed to happen
up to this time in protecting the gov
ernment’s interests.”
TO OPPOSE SHOALS OFFERS
Congress Not Likely To Decide Issue.
Believed That Senate Will Accept
The Amendment
Washington.—Conclusions reached
after more than a month’s investiga
tion of private proposals, for develop
ment of the nitrate and power projects
initiated by the government at Muscle
Shoals, Ala., have been announced by
Chairman Norris or the senate agri
culture committee in a statement to
the Associated Press.
After asserting his firm conviction
that the government should retain title
to the properties within itself for all
time, the senator said congress, in
his judgment, would not act at this
sesesion upon any of the private pro
posals for Muscle Shoals and all that
could be expected before adjournment
would be the authorization to continue
work on the Wilson dam under an ap
propriation of $7,500,000.
It is his intention, Senator Norris
says, to offer an amendment to the
army appropriation hill when it is up
for passage by the senate which will
provide funds for continuing construc
tion work on the Wilson dam by army
engineers during the fiscal year be
ginning July 1.
Belief is expressed that the senate
will accept the amendment, but will
decline, because of its congested leg
islative calendar and the anxiety of
members to return home for the fall
campaign to take up for acceptance any
of the offers pending in the agricul
ture committee.
“I am firmly convinced,” the senator
said in the statement, “that the gov
ernment ought to retain title to all the
property at Muscle Shoals in itself in
order to permit the people to 1 , get the
full benefit of improvements science
may develop in the fixation of ni
trates from the air. It ought not to
bind unborn generations by accepting
a contract made under existing' condi
tions of rapid change in the art, par
ticularly one which would extend a
lease over the properties for a hun
dred years.”
Future generations should have
“something to say about the control
of the natural resources of the coun
try,” the statement continued,’ addiu*
that "it seems, therefore ‘hat the bill
proposing a governmeni/corporation
for operation and development of the
Muscle Shoals plants, or some similar
legislation ought to be enacted; some
thing along that line is the solution.”
“I am impressed with the fact that
we are asked to make a contract bind
ing upon future generations when we
do not know the conditions that will
surround the people during its life,"
says Senator Norris, “and that applies
particularly to Henry Ford’s proposal
because it continued for 100 years;
“Improvements undoubtedly will be
made in the art of extracting nitrates
from the air,” continued the senator,
“and it is not unreasonable to assume
that, within a few years, when these
new processes are developed, that the
methods used at Muscle Shoals now
will be entirely obsolete.”

The Land of Blades.
Japan is called "the land of blades"
by Its own people, some of the older
scholars having declared that the first
sword was invented by the same god
who Invented poetry. A maker of
swords In Japan was ever highly hon
ored among his fellow mechanics. An
unusually skillful and artistic smith
sometimes was recipient of high mili
tary rank, a yearly pension, or was
even raised to the lordship of the
province in which lie. dwelt.
Inevitable Study.
“Do you put much study on your
speeches?” “Invariably,” replied Sen
ator Sorghum. "Every speech is going
to compel study at one time or anoth
er. If you don’t give careful consider
ation to your remarks beforehand,
they’re likely to keep you guessing for
years to come."
Education Not Complete.
A man was lamenting his wife’s ex
travagance—but mope in sadness than
in anger. “Her parents were thrifty
foil*” he explained, “and they failed
to teach her proper business principles.
She was taught only to save her money
—never how to spend It intelligently.”
Probe Of Convict Mutiny Is Begun
Columbia, S. C.—Investigation has
been begun by prison officials of the
mutiny of prisoners at the state peni
tentiary here the other day which re
sulted in the wounding of fourteen
men and a guard. Two of the pris
oners are in the city hospital and their
condition is reported as serious. Ap
parently the prisoners had planned a
general delivery, officials stated, add
ing that severe punishment would be
meted cut to the men responsible for
the disorder.
Constance Talmadge Files Divorce Suit
Los Angeles, Calif.—Constance Tal
madge, motion picture actress, has filed
in the superior court here a suit for
divorce from John J. Tialoglou, “a
natice of Turkeyfl a subject of Greece,
native of Turkey, a subject of Greece
and a cigar manufacturer of New
York,” according to the complaint.
She charges “cruel and inhuman treat
ment.” They were married September
26, 1920, at Greenwich, Conn., and
separated April 5, 1921, the complaint
states.
8th U. S. Infantry To Quit Rhineland
Washington.—War department plans
now contemplate the return from the
Rhine of the Eighth United States in
fantry, the last combat unit of the
A. E. F. to leave Europe, late in June,
according to a letter from Secretary
Weeks recently sent to Senator Wil
liam J. Harris of Georgia. The regi
ment’s headquarters will be at Fort
Screven, near Savannah. “The exact
date of the arrivals at Savannah,” Sec
retary Weeks wrote, “cannot yet be de
termined.” However, it will sail some
time in June.
Paris.—Premier Poincare is seeking
closer co-operation with the United
States in dealing with European prob
lems, especially that involving soviet
Russia.
This became apparent when it was
authoritatively announced that France
would not recognize the soviet govern
ment except after agreement with the
United States.
French hjgh officials are evincing
greater respect for America’s foreign
policy, especially since the Genoa dif
ficulties.
Whether they are looking ahead to
a possible rupture with Great Brit
ain, in which case the United States
would be the only great power they
could turn to, is not known. But high
officials have left no doubt that they
will endeavor to act in harmony with
America’s views whenever possible.
France, is is learned, concedes that
the breaking up of the conference is
inevitable, convinced that the soviet
reply will be either negative or in
conclusive. Every time the allies have
proposed anything concrete, officials
say, the soviets have sidestepped or
countered with demands for loans and
advances of credits.
France considers that the Genoa
conference has changed nothing with
regard to the allies’ relations with
Russia. In fact, the highest officials
admit that America proved right in
refusing to participate.
“It isn’t the first time we’ve learn
ed a good lesson from the policy of
the United States,” a high official
laughingly told the press.
“We hop^i to learn others. Here
after we will liave a good understand
ing with the United States before ar
ranging with the soviets.”
This indicates that the Poincare
government is seeking a closer and
more intelligent co-operation with
America than its predecessors desired
and are trying to draw what benefit
they can from the example of Amer
ica’s method of dealing with Europe’s
problems.
Meanwhile, officials point out that
it is unnecessary to have formal trea
ties to enable individuals to trade
with Russia so long as the soviets
are in power. France, it was said,
rather prefers to deal this way.

Orders Formation Of New Annual
Conference In The State
Of Arizona
Hot Springs, Ark.—The formation of
the Arizona annual conference was or
dered in the general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South. Dr.
J. E. Harrison of Phoenix presented
the following facts:
Methodism in Arizona has doubled in
membership and in property owned and
acquired the past quadrennium. The
new conference created will embrace
all the state of Arizona and territory
will be equal to the states of Mary
land, Virginia, West Virginia and Ten

Preacher Robbed Of Many Jewels
Philadelphia. — While the Rev.
James Isenberg was exhorting his
flock to “Make the Jericho Road Se
cure,” thieves were looting his home
of jewels and other valuables. They
made their escape through the rear
door as the pastor walked in the front
door on his return from church. The
Rev. Isenberg is planning to preach
on “The Return of the Prodigals," but
will have a policeman guard the fatted
calf,
Proposes Probe Of Steel Merger Firms
Washington.—Inquiry into reported
plans for a merger of seven large
steel corporations was recently pro
posed in a resolution introduced in the
senate by Senator LaFollette, Repub
lican, of Wisconsin. The resolution
referred to the reported merger of the
Midvale, Republic, Lackawanna and
Inland Steel corporations with the
Youngstown Sheet and Tube com-
panyil the Steel and Tube company of
America and the Brier Hill Steel com
pany. It added that the Bethlehem
Steel corporation would join.
Secretary Mellon is certainly the
modern wizard of finance. By a sim
ple twist of the wrist he changes a
deficit into ja surplus, thus:
There is an admitted threatened
deficit of $24,000,000 for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1922. Within that
period $71,000,000 obligations fall due.
By postponing the payment ,of these
obligations until next year the secre
tary’ of the treasury is able to make it
appear that there will be a surplus of
$47,000,000.
This is the same kind of financial
sleight-of-hand by which $17,000,000 is
put in the list of “savings” of the Har
ding administration when $17,000,000
of Pittman, act 'certificates fell due and
were not paid.
Secretary Melon has already admit
ted that there will be a deficit of $4S4,-
000.000 for 1923, but this does not in
clude a proposed $50,000,000 for Mr.
Lasker or $75,000,000 for the initial
bonus, $17,000,000 extra for rivers and
harbors and $60,000,000 extra for the
navy in excess of General Dawes’ esti
mates. There is a prospective deficit,
therefore, for 1923, of $66,000,000, and
the administration is going right on
claiming that it is saving money, prac
ticing economy and reducing taxes.
Atlanta, Ga., May 10.—Prosperity i*
here—according t oreports from Atlan
ta, which city is planning to hold a
big celebration during the week of
May 29th through June 3rd—a full
week of wonderful entertainment,
pleasure and profit. The movement
resulting in this event is being direct
ly sponsored by the Rotary Club, Ml-
wanis Club and the Lions Club, #h
every other civic, social and commer
cial organization in the city co-operat
ing.
Atlanta calls this event “Progress
and Prosperity Week,” with its object
and purpose to revive and foster a
stronger feeling of optimism, confi
dence and civic pride. Its scope is ,
not confined to the city of Atlanta, bull
encompasses the state of (Georgia and
the entire Southeast. ■"*
R. M. Striplin, secretary of the South
eastern Fair Association, has been
chosen as director of the event, jand
he has arranged for a most elaborate
program of amusement. A splendid
float parade will usher in the week of
festivities. This parade is an exact
reproduction of the famous Proteus pa
rade of the New’ Orleans mardi-gras,
said to rival similar parades of New
Orleans and Paris. Numerous other
parades, band concerts, etc.Jwill be a
part of the downtown, program.
At Lakewood, Atlanta’s big amuse
ment park, there will be a great vari
ety of entertainment, including Chey
enne Rodeo Round-up, light opera, pa
geantry, athletic and water sports, aes
thetic dancing, lectures and moving
pictures, band concerts, fireworks, div
ing girl exhibition, Venetian singers,
and nummerous other attractions.
This is an event that will attract
thousands of visitors to the city during
the week and it is hoped by those in
terested that it will furnish a busi
ness, commercial and industrial stim
ulus that will extend ove'r the entire
section.
Our Great South’s
Needs for Cows
There is right here in this civilized
country thousands > of boys (and girls,
underweight, with bad teeth and dull
intellect, starving for the cheapest and
best food on earth, milk and butter.
If we are to develop our citizens, jwe
must produce the food that is doing
this, and in doing this the producer
will provide himself with the best in
surance policy for a standing income.
Cream is one item that can be sold
every day in the year, winter and sum
mer. It can be made to pay bills and
keep money jingling in our pockets.
Old King Cotton is sold one month
of the year, but it is treacherous and
disappointing, when we depend upon
it the other eleven months—so we say
get good cows; grow good pasture for
them; give them good food; consider
carefully the marketing of their prod
uct, and you will soon find that your
farm is making money for you. For the
good cow not only pays good dividends
to her owner, but pays them every day.
