Camel the choicest tobaccos grown, blended for smoothness

an overwhelming tribute to the taste and fragrance of this

PENNSYLVANIA LAW AND YARE.
A United States District Judge in
Philadelphia recently dismissed an
application of the Senate Campaign
Funds Committee for impounding the
ballots of Deleware County, Pa.,
which were cast in the Vare-Wilson
senatorial election. Now Senator
King of Utah, a member of the com-
mittee, has instructed the commit -
tee's special attorney to prepare an
appeal from that decision. Mr. King
purposes to carry the case immediate
ly to the Federal Circuit Court at
Philadelphia. In this he differs from
Senator Reed of Missouri, chairman
cf the committee, who apparently
prefers to take the case directly to
the United States Supreme court.
Mr. King's procedure stems the
more practical. The Supreme Court
is now in recess, which will continue
until October. Meantime, under the
law of Pennsylvania, the ballots in
question will be destroyed just pre
vious to the next election. This next
election will be held in September.
Therefore, unless preventive meas
ures are taken, the ballets of Deio
ware county will have been destroy
ed before the Supreme Court can pas;i
upon the appeal, and
the evidence
those ballot boxes mav contain
will
have been reduced to ashes.
It would be unfortunate, indeed,
if the Senate committee's effort to
examine those ballots should be frus
trated. Such an eve ntuation, what
ever the reason, would be deplored
by public opinion, and a'si resented.
And if the fru.-tration should be en
compassed by the operation cf a
Pennsylvania law public resentment
would be angrily acute.
The American people as a whole
are fed up cn the election laws of
Pennsylvania- Some of those law
seem to be designed for promoting
corrupt practices. That is especially
true of the statute p-rmitting t he
employment of watchers at a wage
of 10 a day. Thanks to the inves
tigation cf the Senate Campaign
Funds Committee the country has
seen the abuse s spawned by that
law of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh,
where watchers were employed in un
believable numbers, where money
was uisi ! luuieu ill u.iuur, rn ,
of a Henry Ford's payroll, where
the electroaf.e of Pennsylvania's two
metropolitan cities was flagrantly
and horribly debauched.
Under the devious laws of Pennsyl
vania Mr. Vare has gone far. He
has readied the doorstep of the
United States senate. There he has
come to a halt. Is another Pennsyl-
vauia law going to pu-h Vare
bpitm t!ip S.-.nMe'a thrc f.hhrdd? Thr.t !
is a question which the
people may now j. nder. It
Americ:1 n
is a que?-
tien which, by virtue of Senator j very easily be impossible within an
King's motion, the Federal Circuit J other 20 years to fuel our warships
Court of Appeals in Philadelphia ' at a tim cf conflict without resort

Vv'E GET BACK TIIE NAVY'S OIL
Few political cycles are so com
plete as that which nill end exactly
where it started when the naval oil
reserves are restored to the guard
ianship of the Navy Department. It
is announced that by agreement with
the Department of the Interior this
will occur on Aug. 1. The Secretary
of the Navy, guided by the counsel
of the Geological Survey, will under
take to conserve the oil at Teapot
Dome and Eiks Hills against the
time when our navy will need it.
So ends the cycle. The damage
done by all that has happened has
probably been more meral than ma
terial. It is not believed that very
much of the oil has been lost. At
any rate there's a great deal left, the
old propaganda as to outside wells
drilling it off has been exploded, and
Uncle Sam is in a position to fit
down on his reserve oil with as
much confidence as General Jackson
u-ed to sit down on his dry powder.
There are three small leases at Elk
Hills undisturbed by the closing of
this remarkable incident. Authority
to make these reposed by congress in
j the Secretary of the Inteiior before
'the Ohio Gand rode into Washington,
I They are not very important.
What is important is that the navy
gets the oil back. Oil is not in our
time
scarce, but it will be. It might
i War, to some foreign oil field. The
English fleet in that war was fueled
j by the great oil fields at Tampico.
i It was foreseen at the time the naval
I reserves were withdrawn that it
might not always be possible to go
beyond our borders for fuel. Resti
tution of the reserves to the navy
makes it certain that for a very long
time we will not have to do so.
Nor has the moral damage been
lasting. It took the country a long
time to believe that the government
was corrurt. It was not an easy thing
to believe. Contrary to all our tradi
tions, it was something' of a poser
for the American people. When they
did become convinced of it there was
no mistaking the verdict. It failed to
bring down the Republican party,
which had given us the rogues and
rascals of the Harding regime, but
that the individuals involved were
forever damned both politically and
morally there has never been the
shadow of a doubt. It may be said
that in the revulsion from rascality
the nation rededicated itself to the
admirable principle of honesty in the
public service. No one believes that,
in our time at least, such a scandal
could happen again.

HE KNEW Km WHEN
Idol-smashers have been busier
than ever in the recent years, which
have seen an increased popular in
terest in biography. You may read,
for instance, in some of the most re
cent biographies of George Washing
ton, that he was rather a common
person, mediocre, somewhat illiterate
and devoid of real greatness.
Against such conceptions of Wash
ington there are many arguments,
but perhaps one of the most signifi
cant is the characterization of him by
Patrick Henrj. who sat with him in
the Virginia House of Burgesses.
"Washington, 'said Henry, "was,
for solid information and sound
judgment, the greatest man in the
assembly."
After all, Tatrick Henry really ;
knew the man and saw him in ac-
tion.
