wanting to save himself the tkmc of going

the train at this spot even though it

GOT FACTS SLIGHTLY MIXED
Hiprnfframv* Ofbome Evidently Had
Not Tal.en Keen Notice of Poel
t on of 8herm?n Statue.
Que of the best speeches In the
house la years came from Representa
tive Osborne of California the day of
the Pershing parade, says the Los An
geles Times. Having been one of the
soldiers who marched up Pennsylva
nia avenue at the close of the Civil
war for a final review by '(general
Sherman, he was able to draw a beau
tiful and striking contrast with the
return of the veterans of 1919.
At one point In the address the rep
resentative spoke feelingly of how
Sherman, at the head of the column,
at Fifteenth street nnd Pennsylvania
avenue had turned on his horse and
locked back at the advancing veter
ans.
"Thus," said Mr. Osborne, "the fig
ure of Sherman, cast in bronze, sits to
day at the head of Pennsylvania ave
nue, us he sat that day more than fif
ty years ago."
The reference to the Sherman statue
aroused great Interest and many were
the pilgrimages made to tlie statue
within the next few days to see how
Sherman looked gazing down the ave
nue. Hut horror of horrors! It de
veloped that Sherman was looking not
toward the advancing column, but to
ward the White llcwise, which stands
In an opposite direction.
Now Osborne is looking for the man
who placed It thus.
Lava Under Ranger Field?
Geologist* believe that continued oli
operations It) the Hunger field, should
they attain a depth of one mile under
the surface, will prove the ' existence
of a live lata bed, a Ranger (Tex.)
correspondent of the New York Eve
ning Sun writes. In tlie region of
C'addo oil drillers have discovered that
hits of the drills show evidences of In
tense heat within ? 8,200 feet of the
surface, and the hent at that depth Is
sufficient to discharge shots of nitro
glycerin without the use of a fnlral
nating cup.
A peculiarity of the Hanger field In
Stephens county Is the number of cre
vasses encountered in drilling through
the black lime. These crevasses ar<'
filled more or less with oil-yielding
sand and when this sand is "shot"
the Mow of petroleum rushes to the
surface. Whether this rush is aided
by the subterranean heat is problem
atical, but It Is believed that the heat
Iiiis n great deal to do with the rush
of ihe oil.

Santa Clans brought an educational
hoard to Baby Jack Woerner. son of
Mr. and Mrs. ('. A. Woerner. Jr.. .'WIS

of diligent study, with mother as in
structor. he could pick out most of

hl? favorite letter, however, and any
thing resembling that letter in shape
was an () to him. One evening mother
was asking him to point out his e"/os,
nose, chin, mouth, etc., which he did
with much success. Finally she point
ed to his ear and asked: "What la
that?" After a short pause, he
glanced across the room at his new

KEEP THEM GOING
America Needs To Get R1<1 of the "Red"
Poison Says Writer.
?
A month aco these pages chronicled
what was in .many respects the most ex
Iraordinarj event in the entire history
of this country?the banishment and de
|K>rtation of a considerable body of arch
traitors. A feeling of approval and sat
isfaction Mvept across the entire country ;
even those few who disapproved, for
personal reason*, dared not do it openly.
What all loyal Americans had long hoped
I and prayed gbr wnx at last an adoom
I plished fact, and the promise that the
giM.d work ?o successfully <l>eguii was to
be at once repeated, and then maintained
J until we were rid of the red menace, was
I accepted as evidence that a Jong-suffering
I and over-patient Government had at last
[ really awikened from its sloth and leth
argy and exerted its right and might.
Each day millions read their daily
papers in the hope of seeing the promise
fulfilled. And each day for a month we
hi>v loitki'd in vn in A nn t ion - widi> "rnid"
which gathered in hundreds of the un
desirables was made, but a? yet no sec
ond ark has sailed. Instead those who
| yesterday were calling down anathema
upon our oourt* and laws, are today
u^ing every advantage of legal technicali
ties in a frantic effort to avoid the sen
tence which their very acts should pro
nounce upon themselves. We are too
thin-skinned or there i* tpo much politics
being employed, when a traitor who ha*
shouted his infidelity from the hometops
can get his "case" juggled into the or
dinary processes of law. and dragged out
indefinitely. It is almost enotigh to make
one even .wish for that autocratic and
b?ir-t rigger efficiency of a monarch or
czar, which, with all its faults, '!.d have
the advantage of making short shift of
traitors. A happy me<tmm with nv would
be sufficient, but it might we|| <?rr toward
the .aide of a court-?martial, which is
noted for' action, rather than the canal
boat. speed to which we,.often limit our
selves. ?
\V hen 11 tnvan has taken deadly poison,
ha* all th" K.vmproms' of being poisoned,
him-self declares he is ]>oiNoued, his phy
sician does not take his case under ad
viseinent for a month or .two, does not
tontinue bis ease from week to week,
nor does he permit the patient to engage
experts to prove he isn't poisoned. He
pt-ts busy right away ; lie doesn't waste !
n moment, and he gets the ipoiso-n out oft
the patient and administers the antidote, j
What we need is to get the red poison ,
out of our conn-try, by prompt deporta-1
tioH, >and for each one who goes out
that way the antidote .will be efficacious
for a hundred who are left. Hut to be
pffeetivi' the treatment must be prompt, j
When a man is found merely watching
a band of counterfeiters at work, th?
secret-service agents have a right to as- j
8lime he is one, too; if the man dedi
