era, while perhatofj ready enough to stop the loss of
the nation’s oil'reserve, were loth to let the pro­
ceedings take a J urn that might benefit, their Demo^
cratic opponents. Naturally the Democrats Were
actuated by entirely opposite motives.
As a result of this feature of the situation,
restoration of the pe'ople’s property and protection

With great wealth and political prestige in oppo­
sition, justice has found its pathway anything -but
smooth but it is cajise for encouragement t6‘ find
that progress has been made nonetheless. Demo­
crats can take credit for forcing {he. issue and it
is likely that the whole matter would - have been
smothered but for the work of Senator Walsh and
others, but the turn òf events which placed the in­

of this kind disgraces an American administration.
Scott’s Transformation
It lias often beep remarked that no sane person
would deliberately commit suicide and it might be
added that any one who- is responsible for cold
blooded murder is abnormal to the extent of beiilg
scarcely sane. •
Bussell Scott, former millionaire, who has done
both of these, things, would appear to have been
far from normal mentally though at one time lie
possessed a brilliancy which enabled hftn to secure
more than a million dollars before he reached the
age of thirty.
Head of a large corporation and possessor of
great wealth at an age when most men are just
getting a start in life, Scott later made about as
complete a failure in life as it would be possible for
a man to make. Penniless, convicted of murder
finally a suicide—is it any wonder this transforma­
tion leads doctors to believe that an examination
of the brain may reveal some physical cause at the
bottom of it all.
Scott, however, bad blamed his downfall to
women—not exactly a new procedure on the part of
fallen men—but regardless of women’s part the real
cause was Scott himself. It is not ¡impossible,' how­
ever, that there may have been physical reasons
for his changing from a brilliant success to a com­
plete failure in life.
