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.
