GEORGE PUTNAM, Kditor und i'libltehcr
BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his
enemies to be at peace with him. Proverbs 16:7.
The Teapot Whitewash
Sinclair's Teapot Dome securities advanced $13,000,000 in
value overnight as the result of the decision by federal
district judge, T. Blake Kennedy, upholding the lease of the
government oil land by ex-Secretary Fall and white-washing
the entire transaction whereby the navy's oil reserves were
bartered away. The court swept aside all allegations of
fraud, altho admitting the lease by Sinclair to Fall
"suspicious" but legitimate.
Doheny who loaned Fall $100,000 and secured the navy oil
preserves on the coast was not so lucky as the federal judge
in California held the lease fraudulent. However, Doheny is a
democrat while Sinclair one of the pillars of the grand old
party.
In the final outcome, no one will have to return any
money secured by robbing the government of its oil and no
one will have to go to jail for corruption. Multi-millionaires
always escape the consequences of their crimes or receive a
reward of merit. It is the little fellow who finds the way
of the transgressor hard.
If Sinclair and Doheny had been country postmasters and
taken a few dollars worth of postage stamps, instead of a
hundred million dollars worth of oil held for the navy in case
. of war, it would have meant federal prison for a long term.
Justice is quite relentless in such cases.
The moral of course, is that if you must steal, grab big
chunks. You can then secure immunity, endow universities,
create foundations for uplift work, become a philanthropist,
a social leader and a pillar of the church, for "to him that
hath shall be given."
Amundsen's Flight
It is hard to understand just what beneficent results will
be forthcoming from Amundsen's attempted flight to the
pole, news of which is copy-righted commercialized and
exploited to the profit of news-feature syndicates, other than
to refresh the public with arctic weather tales during mid
summer heat, and to provide topics for future lectures,
magazine articles and books.
If Amundsen proves Admiral Peary a faker, as Peary
proved Doc Cook to be, and locates the pole on land instead of
a field of floating ice, as Peary claimed, the trip will have
been worthwhile, but any such result is improbable as feary
got closc enough to the pole to make a shrewd guess, if he did
not actually locale it, and Amundsen's airship landed in the
same sort of a place, 200 miles away from the pole.
Peary claimed to have "nailed the stars and stripes to the
pole" on April 6, 1009, on the last lap of a GOO mile dash made
from Cape Columbia, on the northern shore of Grant Land. I
Remaining in the party were Peary, Henson (the negro), and
four Eskimos. Flags were hoisted and the pole claimed lor
the United Stales. No evidence of land was seen in any
dirnrfinn. nnr wjis there anv evidence of plant or animal life
with a below zero temperature.
The utilization of the airship for Arctic exploration con
stitutes the novel feature of the expedition, Amundsen's
fliiriit luinir fhp first of several scheduled atempts. The
discoverer of the soulh pole also failed in a similar effort
in 1022. Little of scientific value can however be nccom
nlih.,l hv those hazardous flights over a barren field of
shifting ice.
Tail of a Man
The tail of a monkey, an entirely different sort from the
tale related bv William J. Bryan, adorns man before birth,
and occasionally afterwards, asserts Dr. Adolph II. Schultz,
cmbryologist in the John Hopkins Medical school, in an
article in the Baltimore Evening Sun. He declares:
Tim pmlirvoloRlst has Irrefutable anil nlinnilaiil proof lo ilomon-
trnin ihni num. lone hfforn birth and when measuring hut a third
nf nn hu h. hiMira a truo external tall one-sixth Iho length of his body.
This tail projects (or a considerable distance beyond the place where
the lens hrani-h from the trunK. 11 contains anywnere iroin seven iu
nine vertebral rudiment, brinRlnc the total number of segments in
the spinal column to as niuny as thirty-tight. This tall soon becomes
completely overgrown by neighboring parts and disappears from the
surface. Some of the vertebral rudiments beeonio resorbed so that in
adult man there are only four or five of them left small vestigial
bones of the flocalled coccyx, at the lower end of tlte spine, which
In adult man consists of only thirty-three or thirty-four vertebrae.
In some apes, notably the orang-utnn. tiie evolutionary reduction
of the tall has gone fnrlher than In man, since in the former only
three, sometimes two, tail vertebrae have remained and tho adjoining
muscles are still more rudimenlnry than in man's own anatomy.
Moreover, a human being is horn occasionally with an outer tall.
The cmbryologist spoking truth, cannot help noting the
striking resemblance between man, ape and monkey in early
development which can only be understood by assuming a
common origin for both, from which they inherited the
tendency for the same growth processes, which have become
modified through later specializations.
It is well demonstrated, says Dr. Schultz, "that the
human body in a number of points is loss removed from
ancestral conditions, and hence remained in some parts more
original and primitive than have some of man's simian
cousins."
But the fiat of fanatics sweeps aside the findings of
science and would ban the search for truth with prison bars.
My Ma trimonial
VA CA TION by Violet Dare
JIM'S 1'IjANM
'All rulht; we'll ro for n whllo.
and then I'll tnke the MIowa nlonpc
with mo to n place I wttnt to show
them, und you can take Nancy on
' home wllh you later," ho told
VIrKlnln.
I loathed Jim In that fllpnnnt
' mood. Hut there was nothing I
' coufrt do 'to -change him. IC I
hadn't loved him no much, It would
have be n enny nouh for me to
make him feel uncomfortable, and
had a Just revenge. But tome
f how I couldn't do It.
At the' supper table, while the
them wei4 dancing, I had a chance
to talk with him alone. "I wlah
you happiness,' I aald, "even
though you're making me no un
happy." "I making you unhappy?" he re
peated, unlielievliiKly. "Hut I'm
doing exactly what you asked me
to do letting you divorce me with
out a murmur."
'Yos, beenuse you want to marry
Cells," I answered.
With all my heart I wished he'd
tell me that he didn't want to mar
ry Olla, that ht wanted me. Put
he didn't aay anything of the kind.
He Just kept atlll for a moment or
two, and then aked me If I didn't
want to dance.
I waa perfectly wretched. I tried
to ill ink ol If ill KwiiiK, ami
member that he loved me, but It
didn't do any good. Tho only man
I could ever love was Jim.
I kept reminding jny.ielf of mar
ried couples I'd known who hud
separated, and then been recon
ciled to each oilier, Nathalie and
her. husband, Nick and his wife,
oven my own mother and father
surely thoro ought to.be hope for
mo. ;
Yet there Jim was, perfectly
happy In the future that he hud I
planned for himself and Cclla
Hut on, not caring what became of
me.
To make matters nlil worse, Jim
began telling me about what he
ind Celia were going to do,
I suppose you'll run over to
Paris, or go to Mexico,, to get your
divorce, won't you?" he asked. "It's
ho much quicker. I hope you can
get it quite soon. Celfa's going to
Mexico to get hers. When we're
married I'll be able to get leave,
and we'll travel for awhile, unless
I can put through a plan I have to
bo appoi ii led attache to one of our
emba.'-Hics in liurope. In that case
we'll settle down at once, of
course."
My heart was so heavy U was
like lead.
"Celia likes living In Europe,"
ho went on as if I cared whore
Celia Eaton wanted to live! "And I
shan't mind It myself, for awhile."
I didn't answer. I was afraid
that if I tried to speak I'd burst
into tears.
He went on, telling me that he'd
really had a Jolly time in the
Philippines; that he'd been able to
spend a good deal of time In Man
ila, which was very gay, and had
planned to go to China for a few
weeks If he hadn't been transfer
red and sent back to the States.
"You ought to go out there some
time, Nancy," he told me. "You'd
like the islands, I'm sure."
You forget that I can't stand.
extreme heat," I replied. "Of course
Cella's much stronger than I am
she can stand anything!"
Yes, I had forgotten that you
don't like hot weather," he answer-1
of
re-ed. . -. , .
I wondered If he was thtnkfnl
our honeymoon, when we !$t"lli
old chapel at West Point .ivkei
we'd been married and went a a
Utile town up' state whero Jj.vna

ur ill tin : ,
"I hope yuu didn't mind hav
lug my bugs sent right up to .your

ently. "I'd rather those chaps .who
camo with me didn't !noy: any

of course, but. just now I'd .cither
It didn't."
.".Why don't you stay right
there? Virginia, and I can go in
together, and you could-take
room," I suggested.
"No, I'd rather not," he ;
"I'll move, down the hall; I spoko
to the clerk about It, and it's
arranged."
He seemed to have gone right
ahead and ottled everything. Hut
then, I'd brought It all down on my
own head, I reflected. It was my
own fault, and If I didn't like it,
why, nobody cared!
When ho and his friends left our
supperparty, leaving mo to go home
with Virginia, I asked him when I'd
see him.
I'll come In In the mornin;
he told me, In a low voice so. that
nobody would overhear. "Wre .can
arrange everything then."
