LORD, TAKE ME AWAY
Lord, take me away from this cold
frozen Northland, and carry be off to
some green, sunny isle, where the
monkeys are all trained to harvest ba
nanas, and hula girls dress in a sweet,
sunny smile. I am sick of develop
ment, -tired of the fishes, and wearied
no end by the bureau fights, too;
please grant me, oh Lord, my dearest
of wishes, the great empire building
I leave unto you.
Then bear me far on your sweet,
vernal breezes, and thru Seattle, be-j
fore the day comes, and establish me
well in the island that pleases, before
some official can stick in his thumbs.
A sack full of cornmeal, a patch of
red berries, to make into wine; a box
of Westover, a bale of Bull Durham,
some books ,and dear Lord, the woild
would be mine.
UP IN THE AIR
What are all the lesser i.gbv who
have been laying their plans to skim
into office on the crest of the Me A-loo
presidential hopes and promises, going
to do ? That is the question that has
arsen as a result of the flattening >f
the McAdoo boom, which took place
in about two minutes time when it
was disclosed that McAdoo was em
plovend by the Doheny oil interests
and paid $250,000—or even $150,000
—in five years, his retention having
having been made because of Doheny’s
hopes that he would have influence
with the Wilson administration.
The sordidness of the affair is not
that McAdoo accepted a huge retain
er from the oil interests, but that his
services were bought primarily for the
reason assigned by Doheny. That
McAdoo was not eager to bring his
connection with the petroleum “octu
pus” into the light of public know
ledge is shown by the fact that he
kept the information from his inti
mate friends. It appears that Col.
George Harvey had the information
during the campaign of 1920 but did
not use it against McAdoo because the
latter was not a candidate nor even
vigorous supporter ot Janies JM. v^ox,
the democratic nominee. Senator J.
Keed, of Missouri, a candidate for the
democratic nomination, also apparent
ly knew of McAdoo's connection, judg
ing from a statement he made in the
senate early last week in which he
said he wanted Doheny recalled to the
stand that he might be asked wheth
er he had paid any money to any per
son at the time holding office or to
any public official after he had serv
ered his connection with the govern
ment.
It is not believed at Washington
that President Wilson knew of Mc
Adoo’s employment as a representa
tive of the oil interests. Primarily
McAdoo was engaged to influence the
administration in connection with the
government’s Mexican policy. The
Mexican government had refused to
permit American concession holders to
drill for oil even on their own proper
ty—a situation that caused our gov
ernment to withhold recognition for
several years. Apparently McAdoo
failed to deliver for the Doheny com
pany the results it had hoped for, be
cause President Wilson was accused
even of failing to protect the rights of
Americans in Mexico, and Doheny,
himself said that a senate committee
had accomplished more to get recogni
tion < f American property rights there
than had McAdoo or others he had en
gaged as his representatives. Mc
Adoo’s service seems to have been
worth while for he is still on the Do
heny payroll.
The sudden collapse of the McAdoo
boom .'eaves thousands of l.is sup
porters up in the political air. Even
Senator Walsh, of Montana, most vig
orous of all the senators probing the
| oil scandal, was taken aback when he
learned that McAdoo had been em
ployed by Doheny, for he is one of
the ex-.-ecretary's leading suppor crs
in the West. Large numbers of other
Ifolloweis, unaware of the impending
! blowup, have ranged themselves on
i the McAdoo bandwagon because they
admire the driver or because they
wanted to allign themselves with the
leader. The effect of the disclos
