HYSTERIA HERE appears X PAST AND PRESENT at the present time the hysteria coming .underlhe..iitl.fillny.estigationIt-iRdiiiS--ali'-partie- s nor unusual. Perhaps the earliest instance of contagious hysteria in this country wras witnessed in 1692 when the Salem witchcraft .delusion seized upon the Massachusetts colonists and bereft even the most convervative and deliberate men of all semblance of mental stability. When a woman had committed an act that made her liable to punishment, she set up - the defense that she had been bewitched by a neighbor. Similar accusations spread and soon the whole community was casting covert Insinuations or open charges upon even the best people, and, in every instance, there was a presumption of guilt. The accused w'ere condemned for refusal to confess. Fathers permitted their owm daughters to be executed as witches when there was not the slightest valid evidence against themv'Anyone whoTiadfthe goocf sense land the courage to protest against the proceedings was immediately considered a witch. The accused were certain of punishment if they confessed and they were as equally certain of punishment if they added to their supposed offense by denying it. The Massachusetts colonists finally came otltTof their hyster- e ia, just as the country finally ca: ae out "of hysteria, but not until large numbers of people had suffered irreparable injury. In due course of time we shall come out of the present "oil scandal" hysteria, but not until many good names have been smirched in the same manner as that of former President Harding. f Quite likely there' were some wrongful acts in connection with jhe oil leases, as there were undoubtedly some Americans who permitted their sympathy for Germany to lead them to acts or omissions. Quite likely, too, there 'were in the Massachusetts colony some people who possessed evil spirits, even if not in the nature of witches. But the wholesale accusations, suspicions and insinuations that are now so freely broadcast concerning dishonesty In transactions in oil are as absurd and unjust as most of the witchcraft hysteria. In the midst of the present chaos due to dethronement of reason, it is well to recoil the words of Kipling: If you can keep your head when all about you A - Are losing theirs and blaming it mr you,' If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you - and make allowance for their doubting too Hew, J war-tim- $ t te f of their thinking . pre-digest- ' J He who, in his heart, desires success and happiness, however, has no such notion of building his way by bargain and barter. , t . avail never winds can to the four ' Scattering your talents you anything, no matter how gifted you may be. middle-agesteady tennis player beat a Today I watched a brilliant young player less than half his age.

THE ACCIDENT HAZAR- D-. automobile accidents are unavoidable In spite of all that MANY be done by lawmakers and police officers, a certain accident hazard will remain. There ,are other accidents which are the direct result of violations of the law and' are as unnecea , sary as they are preventable. The other night a baby was seriously injured when the car in which its parents were riding was struck by a truck without lights. Three distinct violations of the law are charged against the driver of the truck, driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated, driving without lights and failure to report an' accident: The first offense is intolerable, but common. It deserves the stemesf of punishment.' Men under the influence of liquor who persist in operating automobiles on the public' highways endangering life and property should be required to reflect upon their misdeeds in jail, There is no excuse for the offense and fines are not sufficient punishment. There is no excuse for driving without lights. The lighting requirements of city and state laws are known or should be known to every automobile owner. It likewise should be severely punished. Failure to report an accident is likewise a serious offense meriting severe punishment. ' What can be said of a man who involves alf of these offenses in one ? Are we to excuse his acts on the grounds of drunkenness or are we to insist that he answer for all of the delinquences arising from his use of the forbidden liquor?

The farmers point out that this is a means for preserving and Increasing the beet sugar Industry in a number of western A 'states. x , J - Farm organizations in the territory where beet sugar is produced are being appealed to for support oh behalf of the beet sugar growers.
