MORROW THE
MAN OF THE HOUR?
The whole country will be heart
ened by Dwight Morrow's decisive
victory in New Jersey. ,It is, of
course, a great personal victory; but
it is far more than that. It is a fine
demonstration of democracy's capac
ity to function at critical junctures.
It is a striking vindication of the
theory, sometimes questioned, that
this is a government of public opin
ion. According to the dope sheet of
practical politics, Mr. Morrow's
chances were dubious. The "talent"
argued thus: Mr. Morrow and for
mer Senator Frelinghuysen, both op
posed to prohibition, would divide
the wet vote. Representative Fort,
chosen candidate of the Anti-Saioon
League, would command the full
strength of the drys. Such strategy,
though shop-worn, has often won.
It failed completely in New Jer
sey. Its failure is explainable by
the extraordinary character cf tho
successful nominee. It is safe to say
that no man in the United States is
held in higher popular esteem than
.Mr. Morrow is. And it is not a paper
reputation. The magic of propaganda
has had nothing to do with it. Mr.
Morrow has won his spurs in actual
combat. Coming into i ublic life un
der the disadvantage of a partner
ship in the Morgan firm, he accomp
lished things as Ambassador to Mex
ico which surpassed public expecta
tion. The country has since learned
that, between the date of his appoint
ment and the presentation of his
credentials, Mr. Morrow familarized
himself with the history of Mexico.
He fortified himself with the facts;
but the genius to apply that knowl
edge in the probating of conflicting
claims, material and tempen.mental,
was truly a revelation.
A man whom the country had
known only as a professional and fi
nancial success was suddenly discov
ered to be rarely equipped for public
service. Whether Mr. Morrow is "the
man of the hour" for the crisis im
posed upon us by prohibition may
not yet be asserted. What may be
said is that his statement on the
opening of his campaign for the sen
atorial nomination is generally ac
cepted as the wisest utterance yet
made on this contentious issue. It is
the position of a real student of the
American system of government. The
matter of the use or nonuse cf liquor
is the merest incidental in the grav
ity of the situation. Are the police
powers, constitutionally reserved to
the states, to be vested in the Fed
eral Government and our whole na
tional structure and character to be
abandoned for an imperial bureau
cracy? That is the issue with which
we are confronted. Mr. Morrow
stands for the Constitution in the
spirit in which it was written and
under the aegis of which the United
States has made its history and
achieved its destiny.
Within the compass of this issue
Mr. Morrow has assumed the leader
ship of what might truly be called
the Constitutional party of America.
That is why the whole nation was
watching the senatorial primary in
New Jersey. He has just to prove
himself equal to all the tests of this
leadership. But public opinion looks
to him with a confidence it bestows
on no one else. He is the star on our
stormy political horizon. St. Louis

VANISHING OIL RESERVES
If industrial America should waKe
up tomorrow morning and be told
that there was no more oil, and nc
available substitute, it would be stun
ned, and then, beyond doubt, would
turn hysterical. The unfueled boil
ers would grow cold, the unlibrica
ted wheels would stop, the ungassea
motors would be so much useless iron;
the entire gigantic industrial ma
chine would have to be shut down.
Oil has been and is being wasted
at a rate which makes the old waste
of forest lands seem almost negligible.
Overproduction has been chronic
since the opening of the first well.
More and more ne wfields have been
discovered and exploited, not becaust
there was need for more oil, but
because thier riches are too tempting
to remain (untapped. Oil has been
the plentiful and chap product. It
has, threfore, been allowed to escape
into sand from carelessly fitted wells;
has been stored in all sorts of make
shift reservoirs, where it is lost by
seepage or loses its valuable proper
ties through evaporation. Cheapness
of the raw product has led to slip
shod methods of refining. Sometimes
pure crude oil has been used for boil
er fuel, and altogether hundreds of
millions of barrels and precious lub
ricant have gone up in smoke,
thouEh the fuel would have been
quite as useful had lubricating oils
been refined off.

IS
THE REPARATIONS BONDS
It is not often that the announce
ment of a bond issue is charged with
the peculiar significance of the $300,-
000.000 loan to the German Govern
ment now being floated in this coun
try and in eight other countries. One
phrase in the advertisement of this
bond issue is especially interesting.
The German Government states that
this loan, through the Bank of In
ternational Settlements, "is definitely
accepted as a complete and final set
tlement, so far as Germany is con
cerned, of the nancial questions re
sulting from the war."
The bitter reparations controversy,
which was political news on the
front page of all the newspapers of
the world ten years ago, has now
been relegated to the financial page,
as a matter of sound business piac
tice. This is an extremely important
change in the management of inter
national problems. From the realm
of rancorus national dispute, the re
parations question has been trans
formed into a business proposition,
calmly and scientifically disposed cf
through the regular channels ot
banking procedure.
If more of the controversies of the
nations cculd be carried to the coun
cil table of business men and tankers
experts in the questions involved
we might look forward to a period
of wholesome international progress,
free from the tragic conflicts of arm
ed forces. But one has only to com
pute this achievement respecting the
German war reparations with the
manner in which we are handling the
tariff another international prob
problem to see that the common
sense handling of the economic dif
ferences between 6tates is advancing
only with halting steps. There is a
long road still to travel;
