• MeADOO IS VINDICATED
- E. L. Doheny makes a somewhat tardy
retraction of his original charge that
(^iis company b»d>4 |>}iid <ji!500tK) to the
law firm of which W. G. McAdoo is a
member now declaring that it was
only half that amount and that in-
stead of having paid Mr. McAdoo $f>0-
l>bo yearly his pay was only $2f»<HH)
and that his services had no connection
whatsoever with the oil leases which
have been under investigation.
The fact that Mr. McAdoo is to go on
the witness stand himself anil could
so easily have proven that Doheny had
lied in his effort to besmirch the dem-
ocratic leader doubtless is responsible
for Doheny's recalling his grossly ex-
aggerated statements concerning Mc-
Adoo's employment by the Doheny com-
pany.
The hosts of adherents of McAdoo
all over the country have felt confident
that their leader could acquit himself
of any connection with Doheny’s cow-
ardly betrayal of his country through
his “loan" to a member of the Harding
cabinet.

People who are determined to make
their quietus might he more consider-
ate of other people when they set out
to do the rash and fatal act. So many
of these unhappy ones have chosen to
make their exit by drowning themselves
in the Teaervoir in the New York Cen-
tral Park that the practice has become
a public nuisance while at the same
tijne the reservoir has come to he re-
garded almost as a menace by offering
a -convenient means for suicide. Con-
sequently the management ia compel-
led to build a suicide proof fence

around the reservoir to put n stop to
its use as a source of subjects for the
morgue.
I THE SPIRIT OF THE ROTARY
The tri-city meeting of Rotary Clubs
in this city the other evening was a
wholesome exemplification of the real
spirit of Rotary—the spirit of fellow-
ship and good will. This interchange
of courtesies and commingling of the
Kotarians of neighboring cities if
bound to have a beneficial effect ir
the promotion of good feeling an*1
unity of sentiment between them. Fre
quern intercourse with people outside
one’a daily circle has th« effect o
broadening the vision and increasinf
culture and general information ant
such occasions can but he mutually
beneficial to all who are so fortunut<
as to participate in them.
The spirit of the Rotarian organixa
tibn is one that must be greatly help
ful in cementing friendships and ii
cultivating a fine mutual understandini
• and creating a community of feeling
People who mingle often about th<
same board with their fellow citixen
cannot go around packing a grudg<
against each other. And people wh

interAt especially on service to the
other fellow—"service above self—
are bound to reach a wider horizon in
their views of life bound fo broaden
and to grow in sympathy and kindly
spirit towards their fellow man. Ro-
tary inspires good citizenship and to
achieve the highest results of citizen-
ship it is necessary that we should be
willing to cooperate in all efforts to
promote the general good.
The true Rotarian cannot he wholly
selfish in his conceptions of his part in
this world but on the contrary as be
grow's in the spirit of the organisation
he must become the better friend tho
better neighbor the better citizen.

The growing loss of lives in mine
disasters should command the atten-
tion of our best minds and every ef-
fort made to protect the men who must
earn their living by working in these
mines which seem little more than
deuth traps at present. Surely there
should be laws requiring strict and
frequent inspection of all mines so as
to insure the greater safety of those
who must delve underneath the ground
gaining a livelihood by such precarious
lakur running the risk daily of being
sacrificed by explosions or flooding of
the mints. . The miner’s life is a hard
one at best. If there he anything in
our boasted efforts in behalf of human-
ity then let it be shown in some de-
termined effort to save the miners’
lives.
First thing we know it will be ne-
cessary to establish a bureau to inves-
tigate government scandals at Wash-
ington if we want congress to have
time for the work for which it was
primarily intended—that of legislating
for the nation.
Well shall Uncle Sam now send
arms and ammunition on credit to the
president-dictator of Honduras in or-
der -4® help him to put down the new
rebellion started in that country? If
we undertake the role of maintaining
I every government on the American
continent against revolution we shall
^ probably have quite enough to keep
ourselves busy.
So far the votes in the popular re-
ferendum on the peace plan which won
the Bok prize are overwhelmingly in
favor of the plan. Can it he possible
that thosp who interpreted the result
of the 1 election as a mandate to
stay out of the League of Nations were
mistaken? The plan embodies more or
less the features of the League and
to endorse it is more or less an en-
dorsement of the League plan. At least
it would cause the United States to
take a part in the affairs of the world
and renounce its selfish policy of iso-
lation.
Television or the transmission of
pictures through space from great dis-
tance as radio transmits sound is now
predicted as a certainty within the
next twenty years. It seems as if it
might be accomplished more quickly.
Science should he able to devise some
means of utilizing the principles under-
j lying that wonderful but not uncom-
mon phenomenon the mirage which
brings to view the reflection of scenes
often far remote. Nature can transmit
and focus the waves of vision as radio
now transmits and centers in the re-
ceiving apparatus sounds which origin-
ate thousands of miles away. Science
should he able to wrest this secret
from nature.
The state of Wisconsin was called a
j ••Herman province” during the war.
Mayor Hoan of the city of Milwaukee
must have gloried in that designation
though it meant treachery. He belongs
rightfully in Hermany along with the
despised slacker Bergdoll.
