Coolidge was only a vice-president and could not have Instituted an investigation If he had been informed of any reason for doing so; he could not properly have demanded or suggested an Investigation. His very position would have prevented that. The proper place for the Investigation to begin was in the Senate. Mr. Johnson was then, as now, a member of the Senate and should have been as alert to protect the nation's interests as Senators Carraway and Walsh, if he believed those interests were threatened.

We are not, however, charging Senator Johnson with neglect. We do not suppose that when the Democratic senators began talking about an investigation they believed there was need of one; we think they had no well-grounded suspicion of the turpitude which has since been uncovered. They made a happy shot in the dark. The promptness with which President Coolidge has acted when enough evidence was laid before him to proceed upon, relieves him and his party from any blame and gives assurance that an example will be made of those who have conspired against the Dumm and Dummtr on Oil Teapots, Cows, Domes, Etc.

Jan. 5. (By the Associated Press.) Dr. Balthazar Brum, former? president cf Uruguay, engaged in a pistol duel recenlty with Minister of War Rivera. Neither was hit.

S. Dale, and there are a good many lines between which the answer may be concealed.

We have no doubt that Mr. Dale's curiosity has been entirely relieved. "The future," says the governor, "must decide" whether he will be a candidate for renomination and lection. We are guilty of neither Celticism nor a paradox In stating that the future is in the past and that It has already reached a decision. The issue in the Democratic primaries will be the Colorado compact.

Whether it will persist as an issne Into the general campaign will depend upon what the Democrats do in the primaries. There was a time, we think, when the governor hoped that the primary might not be burdened with that issue; that the compact might be ratified or preferably, disposed of by replacement, anyway, to be kept "out of the way. Evidently the governor, without having changed his mind regarding the compact, has felt that there has been some shifting of the party attitude toward it, so that he is now not only willing but Impatient to go to the bat. The result of the primaries, though it may not be decisive as to the compact, will throw a great deal of light on the future of it. Once the compact has become an issue, the fight will not center about tbe gubernatorial contest, but rather about the legislative contests, for It will be in the legislature where the fate of the compact will finally be decided.

The governor, whoever he may be, will have very little influence upon the struggle there no such influence rpY-t In the Sixth PROGRESSIVE NORTH CAROLINA By Frederic J.

Substantial advances are being made toward the adoption of improved farming methods and machinery, and in crop diversification, but the state has a veiy real problem in the number of its farms that are operated by tenants and croppers.

The average amount of land cultivated is less than 18 acres per family. The percentage of ten-antcy is 43.5, and attempts to reduce it have proved unavailing thus far.

Now the distance between them is barely 15 miles.

This is one of the miracles of modern load building. The two county seats, of course, are right where they have always been, and the air-line distance between them is unchanged. But, whereas in the old days, to get from one to the other it was necessary to make a roundabout journey of considerably mors than a hundred miles over roads that were passable only in good weather, now it is but a medical, and financial matters.

Backsliding rrom a good resolution seldom carries a man farther back into iniquity than he was before, though our cigar proprietor has observed that his returning customers are smoking more furiously than ever as if to make up for lost time. And there is a sort of Impious satisfaction in having once more Quitted the ranks of good brothers for those of good fellows, though with erring ways. That wise and, we suspect, humorous old Chinese philosopher, LI Huang, in a famous Oriental proverb admonishes: "He who resolves nothing, never breaks f.iltli with himself." But any change of mind as to one's own conduct is, in a measure, a breaking faith with himself and we all do that. It may be enough for us if we do not break faith with others.

Though resolutions are often futile, sometimes they stick and, anyhow, they are Avorth trying. Some objection is made to resolutions on tlu ground that when they break, they Involve some fracture or weakening of the moral fiber. We do not think that result is a serious one. Anyhow, that contingency is more than offset by the strengthening of the moral fiber by a resolution lived up to. The trouble with so many of our resolutions is that they are applied to trifling errors, and not to really serious need of reformation.

This resolution lasts from two days, sometimes, to thirty, according to the stamina and ingrained habits of the subject, but It always ends th same way. Repressed habits restrained by a resolution will burst forth again. The keeper of the petty cash account, sickening from a long and futile search for an error of seventeen cents or so, hurls the diary into the street, and plunges into an orgy- of spending.

The following less time-consuming way lias been recommended: Let the man who wants to keep an account, oh New Year's day write on the wall of the garage the amount of money he may happen to have in his pocket at that time; next New Year's day, make another count of cash in pocket, and place the sum either above or below the figures written there the year before, and subtract. The result will disclose the financial progress or retrogression that has been made in a year. "Now the New Year reviving old desires," sang old Omar, "the thoughtful soul to solitude retires." And after a period of solitude it is likely to emerge resolved to make no more resolutions which are their own invitatiops to defeat of thrift and foresighted-ness, to make those principles into habits. The best way, after all, to reform is to reform, and not to resolve to reform. Reform for an hour, for a day, keep the reform going until It shall become perpetual.

A year's reform provided for in a resolution is a too appalling period. We once knew a habitual drinker who despaired of ever being able to quit He was not sure he wanted to quit. He knew he could not stick to a resolution. "I'll not take a drink this time," he said. A.

Coolidge was in no sense responsible for the acts of Mr. Fall. He did not appoint the latter. Mr. Fall was not secretary of the interior at any time during the administration of Mr.

Coolidge. The oil reserves were disposed of long before Mir. Coolidge succeeded to the presidency. Some criticism of the transfers were made at the time and at various times thereafter. This criticism appeared to be wholly partisan.

It came from sources whose, chief pastime is criticism. It rested on nothing but pretended suspicion and was not joined in generally by the Democrats. The reasons given for the transfer, certain advantages to the government, among them the inevitable loss, more or lew complete, by drainage, were satisfactory to laymen. About the worst that could be said of the contracts was that the lessees were going to make a great deal of money. The contracts in many ways were so technical that beyond the matter of drainage, nobody seemed to understand them.

Even Secretary- Denby of the navy admits that he did not when he signed them. It was not until after the resignation of Secre- -tary Fall and his reported association with the Sinclair Corporation, that any real suspicion of Irregularity began to be formed. That was the end of the thread In the unraveling. Then came intimations of the loans Secretary Fall had received from Sinclair. The farther the unraveling proceeded the more rapid tha destruction of the fabric.

The contract was no longer technical or involved. Everybody knows what bribery aid betrayal mean. How much earlier this Investigation should have begun It is Impossible to say.
