PEOCLE WANT ACTION The people of the United States are becoming fed up on the multitude of disclosures in the Teapot Dome oil lease scandal. What they want now is real criminal action in the high courts of the country where those Involved in the various deals, if found guilty of fraud, will be given their just deserts. Only in this way can the faith of the people be restored in high governmental of ficials. The recent disclosures are puch that ihe public wants the mat ter sifted thoroughly and the blame placed at the doors of those responsi ble. President Coolidge last night promised a lull aud impartial action against the principals in the deals and he sUouiu recene the backing of every person in toe country. The investigation is non-partisan. It is true that Republicans and Democrats have had their names linked with unpleasant circum stances. Some of the various charg es will undoubtedly be proven while others will be dismissed. But no matter how high the officials are, if guilty they should be made to pay the penalty for one of the most gi- gantie frauds ever perpetrated in the American public affairs. Represent ative government fails when in the hands of people who use their posi tions to feather their own nests. The full confidence of the people of the nation cannot be expressed until the blame is definitely placed.

Chinese, of whom there are many, sell most of the opium, while the great hulk of cocaine cornea from Co lombia, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Colombia, according to Colonel Irfirnh does not cooperate tn the efforts to stamp out the traffic, because Colom bia, since Panama asserted its inde pendence from Colombia, has no re lations with Bahama and does not re cognize the Republic of Panama. Just lie fore the joint army and navy maneuvers late In January in tho vicinity of the Canal between 50 and 75 venders of dope were arrest- ed.
