The Jeffersonian has stood by and witnessed "The Grim Reaper" remove from our midst some of our grand old men, and just recently one of Baltimore County's grand old women passed to the "Great Beyond." The measure of remembrance of those who pass from our midst is not always conditioned upon the active public service rendered. Some men and women are remembered because of their possessions, others because of their benefactions and others because of public positions held; but there is a value, whose real measure oftimes escapes us, in a quiet, unassuming life—such a life that does not aspire to high estate either in positions or possessions, but fills the twelve hours of the day with simple tasks well done and gentle goodness unassumingly revealed. No woman in this community better exemplified this unobtrusiveness than Mrs. Yellott, whose death removes a well known and well-beloved personality. For many years a resident of Towson, she was a familiar figure on its streets. As a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church her faithfulness was insistent. In her home was the atmosphere of a place which meant most to her and in the hearts of ho* friends she dwelled secure in in abiding affection. Mrs. Yellott's value to this community was not in great deeds, but in simple duties faithfully performed, in a lowly chair honorably filled and not in great gifts of material things, but in large ways the influence of a good life. She will be missed, but remembrance of her will linger. Her best gift was the influence of a Christian woman, content to be unintrusive, but reckoning a value greater than she knew. The Jeffersonian extends to Mrs. Yellott's family its deepest sympathy and hopes that He who giveth life and He who taketh it away will give them strength to bear the burden of sorrow which has befallen them. crime wave here as they felt it in other communities, but there is one thing certain, and that is if we hope to continue as a stranger to it We must give heed to strict and proper rules for rearing the boys of the community. Permitting them to "run wild" is sure to bring the crime wave to our doors, just as it has been brought to the door of other communities. THE BUSINESS OF FARMING. Everybody seems to know more about the farmer's business than does the farmer himself. Legislators legislate to help him; conferees confer to aid him; conventions convene to pass admonitory and guiding resolutions to make his burdens lighter; and Congressional committees carry on perennial investigations to discover how best the Government may take a hand in the farmer's activities. Numerous panaceas have been put forward. First, the tariff was to be, so beneficial; but experts have decided that it is inimical to agricultural interests. Next, Government credit for export of farm products was claimed as a sure cure. A third remedy was fo rthe farmer to hoard his produce, if possible, until times were better; but the things the agriculturist puts on the market cannot be kept indefinitely. A fourth advised planting short crops in order that a shortage might create a sharp upward trend in prices. Of all the suggested remedies, none has done what was claimed for it, though all were tried. Meantime, the cost of foodstuffs continues high for the consumer. Therefore, it would be well for both producer and user to unite and bring about a change. This can, perhaps, be accomplished by following out the suggestion made the other day by a local man who may be classed as an expert in things agricultural, at least as pertaining to this section. His proposal is short and to the point. It is simply this: Make farming a regular business; put it on a strictly business basis; treat the farmer as one would treat any other business man. Statistics prove that farmers as a them the opportunity and in a short time they will prove as sagacious in business as they arre in foreseeing crop conditions. It is probable that years of patronizing the agriculturist has resulted in harm both to the patronizer and the patronized. The thing now before the people is to. correct their attitude and make all their dealings with the farmer strictly businesslike. The sooner the farmer adopts a like attitude, the sooner will we note a decided improvement in the economic condition of the nation. More and more farmers are adopting cost finding systems; more and more they are beginning to realize that their economic status is equal to that of the merchant or manufacturer; more and more they are coming to know that they must not only be able to grow good crops with the least possible expense, but they must know how to sell those crops when they are harvested. The trouble about conquering the air is that man must keep on doing it. No doubt it is true that opposites attract. Most of the hard cash is in soft hands. There are enough crises on hand to worry us to death if we hadn't lost interest in them. The difficulty in turning immigrants into good Americans is to find a model to work by. It was just like Dawes to mention common sense, something nobody had thought of before. When a man says he can't find a job he means he can't find one that measures up to his dignity. THE AGE OF CHIME. The prosecuting attorney in one of our big cities says the age of criminals has dropped six to eight years since 1913, the greatest number of crimes now being committel beng traced to boys between 17 and 21. He places the blame on commercialized amusement, parental neglect and lack of sufficient school and church attendance and says there is not as much religious atmosphere in the average home as there used to be. The crime w«ve, he says can only be stopped by a vigorous campaign of moral and religious education. There is a note of warning here for parents who are inclined to accept too readily the excuses offered by their chldren for not devoting more time to study and being more regular in their attendance at church and Sunday-school. Possibly we have not felt the That critic who says no American can wear a dress-suit with distinction hasn't seen some of our native waiters. [L&Qi)(§K} \' (By D .F.) GET ON, OR GET OUT!

A fellow was trying to learn to drive his new car. After he got it started he couldn't stop it and he ziz-zagged up a boulevard at fifty miles an hour. Fortunately he quickly ran out of gas and a motorcycle cop caught up with him. "Say!" yelled the cop, "what do DOHENY, CENTRAL FIGURE IN TEAPOT DOME SCANDAL, WAS "DOWN AND OUT" TEN YEARS AGO. (Continued from Page 1) able to view anything except in the light of his own desires. Whatever! Doheny was opposed to was, to him, the work of enemies and devils. But what can you think of a man, who could lend $100,000, as Doheny did to Albert Fall, and say placidly: "It is no more of a sacrifice for me to let a friend have $100,000 than it is for many men to part with $10 or $15." It is true that Edward L. Doheny is reputed to be one of the three richest men in America. To be specific, how rich is he? How did he get his money? Where did he start? Is there a story behind him? There is. Edward L. Doheny was "broke" at forty. He was so flat financially that he had to buy his meals on the quantity, not quality basis. He and a partner arrived in California with exactly ten cents between them. "What'll we do with the dime?" the partner asked. "Buy grapes with it," Doheny answered. "They're cheaper than anything else out here and pretty good, too." Doheny's life has been a succession of ups and downs, "sitting on the top of the world" one month, being "sunk" the next. Henry Ford has more money than Doheny. John D. Rockefeller probably has, too. But next to them Doheny ranks at the top of the financial ladder, say the experts who study the world of dollars and cents, assets and liabilities. Ford made his money by having a good mind for mechanics and being an able organizer. Rockefeller acquired his wealth by stressing the organizing angle even harder. Doheny got the city homes . and country homes and motor cars and yacht he owns today by digging in the earth for them. His experience has in- you mean by speeding along here, like a mad man?

He is no hero in the eyes of the world, but he is in a position to buy almost anything he desires that can be bought—and has bought it, evidence would seem to show.

NICELY DONE. men asked Mr. Brown a few days after the funeral of that eminent merchant. "No. What was it?" inquired the neighbor, curiously. "Somebody added the word 'friend' to the epitaph." "What was the epitaph?" " 'He did his best.' " PROFICIENCY. A city business man was very keen on having proficient clerks in his employ. Before a clerk could enter his office he was required to pass a written examination on his knowledge of business. At one examination one of questions was: "Who formed first company?" A certain bright youth was a little puzzled at this, but was not to be floored. He wrote: "Noah successfully floated a company while the rest of the world was in liquidation." CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT. Two small boys were quarreling over the possession of a toy bank when a local financier, who was passing, stopped and said to the younger: "Shame on you, my boy. Don't you want him to save his money?" "I don't care what he does with his money," replied the youth. "But he wants to save mine along with it." He had heard and knew of prospectors who had gotten rich by a lucky strike in ore, and that was the life he decided upon. No routine desk life in a big city for him—no, sir! He wanted to be out where things were doing and have a hand in the doing of them himself. Back around 1887 he landed in Kingston, New Mexico, a little town in the heart of a country infested with cattle-rustlers, theives, bandits and gunmen of every sort. "We need a school teacher," some of the residents informed him. "You I talk as though you had some educate6 j tion. Why don't you take the job?" the | Doheny had to eat, so he took it. He was fairly successful teaching the children geography and the multiplication tables, but he was more keenly interested in the constant warfare between the gunmen and the decent citizens of the oil district. He was appointed head of a vigilance committee, fought criminals all over the Rio Grande Valley, and sent many of them to prison. The result was that he was a marked man as far as the outlaws were concerned. They sent him a warning to leave the country. He ignored it. One July day he was walking down the main street of Kingston, and a notorious cattle-rustler crouched behind a dry-goods case across the way and fired sixteen shots from a Win- ONE THING SAVED.

The man was known as a dead shot, but, for some reason, not a bullet from his weapon hit Doheny. Doheny went across the street, arrested the would-be killer, and saw that he got a long term in the penitentiary for his various misdeeds. That was the first of many incidents that have happened to Doheny, B:^TSVZ^Z£r™ts' ^^sszrsssx'xrzz The man who goes after what he wants Will get it a whole lot quicker." BUTTON! BUTTON! A peddler once called at the front door of a house and asked for the man or woman of the house. "I've got something here," he began when the master appeared, "that will interest you. It's a collar button o the best kind. You perhaps have read of it in the papers. It's called the Fault collar button." The man of the house was puzzled. "Why," he asked, "do you call it the fault?" "Because," returned the peddler, "it is so easy to find." (And he sold a dozen of 'em.) THE TERROR. A pale, proud girA turned to the big, heavy browed man, who was gazing at her intently. He held a glittering knife in his hand. "Have you no heart?" she asked in low, even tones. "No," he growled. "Then give me ten cents' worth of liver." Mr. Fall announces that he is through with politics. It is not so clear that politics is through with him. Maybe Henry Ford, who is building a new hospital in Detroit, will extend the good work to other pedestrian centers. We don't see why there should ever be a lumber shortage, seeing how many planks in political platforms are never used after election. THE FEMININE. "Eve!" Adam was stern—kindly but determined. "Yes, dear," she said, tremblingly expectant. "I hate to scold you, Eve, but you'll simply have to be more economical. You've stripped nearly every leaf from my favorite fig tree!" SOMETHING CHEERFUL. Mother—Bobby, your grandfather is very sick. Go over and say something that will cheer him up. Bobby—Grandpap, wouldn't you like to have a lot of soldiers at your funeral? Modernists may take away part of the creed, but they will leave the' good collection plate. A natural-born hair-spliter is a j man who can distinguish between I nuisance taxes and anv other kind. ersitious people to say he bears a "charmed life." On another occasion Doheny went into a border town for a breath of civilization after a long prospecting journey. A liquor-crazed man saw him in one of the town's saloons and, muttering, "I don't like your looks," drew a revolver and pointed it at Doheny's back. He was about to fire when a friend of Doheny's, Dan Grady, leaped on the man and subdued him in a rough-and-tumble fight. "There's the 'charmed life' again," friends who knew Doheny's career said. Doheny is "grubstaking" Grady today and has done so for years. He has repeatedly offered Grady an easy life's job in the city, but Grady insists he wants to live in the open spaces. A third time Doheny cheated fate when he fell down a mineshaft and broke both ankles. He was fished out, laid away in bandages until the fractures healed, and then went prospecting again. Doheny got his first finger-tip hold on a bank account and a start toward success when he was living "dead broke" in a little hotel on the outskirts of Los Angeles. He was sitting on the porch one morning and noticed a wagon-load of brownish earth creak past the place. He took a handful of the earth and found it tarry and greasy. "What is this?" he asked the negro driver of the wagon. "Breer," he answered, the negro's crude way of saying "brea," the Spanish word for pitch. "Where does it come from?" Doheny demanded. "Near Westlake Park." Doheny jumped on a street car, hurried to the place, and found the spot where the pitch was being dug. Examining, he found it contained a tarry substance which, mixed with the soil, made a product that was being used in place of coal by many small manufacturing plants. thTbwf'w Doheny crumbled the earth be- inrj r **?KjSfX• t tween his fingers and figured rapidly. A lady one day, being in need of! He had hunted for gold and he had some small change called downstairs to the cook and inquired: "Mary, have you any 'coppers' down there?" hunted for silver, but oil was entirely out of his line. Still, it seemed to him that the tarry liquid in the dirt "Yes, mum, I've two; but if you j that was in his hand bore the same please, mum, they're both me cous- relation to oil that possibly was below ins," was the unexpected reply. the surface as resin on the outside of a tree does to sap that lies beneath the bark. He rushed to an old partner in countless fortune hunts that had proved futile, Charles Canfield, and told Canfield of his discovery. Can-field believed in it even more than did Doheny, and he and Doheny went back to Los Angeles, Canfield not having been in California at the time of Doheny's discovery. They spent the dime that was the sum total of their capital for grapes, as related, and they ate grapes and dug with pick and shovel in the "breer" pit. Signs of oil increased and one day, thirty feet below the surface they unloosened a stream of the liquid gold that was destined to pour millions of dollars into their; pockets and those of scores of California landowners who had thought that "breer" was nothing but "breer." Doheny and Canfield put a little well in the "breer" pit, got enough expense money from it to live on, and started prospecting again. They tramped and rode on mule-back over thousands of miles of California land, always on the lookout for the outcropping of pitch-bearing limestone that they had found signalled the presence of oil beneath the ground. They got control of a great acreage in what are now the California oilfields, and from that point their rise to wealth was steady and assured. Candfiel ddied a millionaire, and today his family has large holdings in the Doheny interests. Doheny spread his activities from California to Mexico, then all over the world after he became able to talk in terms of hundreds of thousands of dollars instead of nickels and dimes and quarters. In Mexico, for instance, he is in command of companies that own some 1,400,000 acres of land on the east coast. He is a baron whose possessions make those of the gentlemen of feudal days appear insignificant. He has spent nearly a third of a billion dollars—a billion dollars, mind you, not a million—on surface improvements in Mexico alone. He has shipped so much "black gold" out of the territory that he has made Tampico the second port on this continent in value of exports. Over his vast area in Mexico spread miles upon miles of pipe lines, privately built wagon-roads, railroad tracks, nests of monster storage tanks, refineries with a capacity of 30 million barrels, trucks, tank-cars, caterpillar tractors,, mule-teams, pumping stations and roughly built homes for workeres. Out of Tampico ply half a hundred Doheny oil-tank steamers. All this from a man who, with a companion, spent a dime for grapes in Los Angeles because they could get a lot of grapes for a dime. Doheny is not a quiet, conservative millionaire like Rockefeller or Ford. When he wants things, we are assured, he goes out and gets them, no matter* what the cost. When he doesn't like a man, he is just as apt to take a punch at his face as not. He did that with an architect who was in charge of the building of a conservatory on Doheny's private estate in Los Angeles. The architect took the punch and retaliated with a suit for $25,000. Doheny settled out of court. When Doheny travels, he spends money freely. He is the "Pullman porters' delight." He never tips less than a dollar—he probably has not heard the jingle of silver money in his pockets for years. In the Chester Park estate Doheny has a vast steel, concrete and leaded-glass conservatory, 77x230 feet in size. It is one of his pet hobbies, the largest collection of palms in the world. Every known species of the tree is there. The specimens were brought from all parts of the tropics, from Mozambique, Sahara, Hawaii, the Canary Islands, Guatemala, the Amazon. Adjoining the conservatory is an equally lavish natatorium, whose interior was built to rival the famous baths of Rome. Another building is devoted entirely to orchids, and houses specimens that have been brought from places thousands of miles distant. Doheny's yacht, the Casiana, is said to be the finest private craft afloat. It measures 287 feet over all, and has storage capacity for a journey of seven thousand miles. It takes thirty-eight officers and men to handle it. The guests' staterooms are finished in rare woods. All the richness that abundant wealth can afford has been put into the fittings. Doheny lives to enjoy life and he wants his friends to enjoy it with him. He has corporation interests, aside from his oil properties, from coast to coast. He is part owner of the great private banking house of Blair & Co., in New York, for instance. The Pan-American, Huas-teca, and Petroleum Transportation Companies credit him on their books for hundreds of millian of dollars. The story of his acquisition of his magnificent town house in Chester Place, in the heart of Los Angelese, shows that he does things. There were some forty mansions in the fashionable residential park that is Chester Place when Doheny bought his home. Desiring to dictate who his neighbors should be, he bought the entire block—every house in it. The yacht has proved a good business investment for Deheny, as well as having been the means of affording him and his friends many a day of pleasure. Doheny desired larger accommodations for his ships in Los Angeles harbor, but had some trouble in getting them. Entirely aside from the matter, he turned the Casiana over to one of the harbor commissioners for a junket to Hawaii. The commissioner returned home and told reporters he had had a fine time. It was noticed that Doheny later received very satisfactory consideration of his desires on the harbor matter. Doheny has been quick to contribute to anv charity that met his approval. When Villa ravaged Mexico in 1914 and left hordes of starving natives in his wake, Doheny filled a ship with provisions valued at $200,-000 and sent it to Tampico for the sufferers. He built a radium annex for the Good Samaritan hospital in Los Angeles at a cost of $100,000. The institution is an Episcopalian one. When the Irish people were fighting for their liberty, he gave large sums to the cause and bought liberally of the bonds of the doubtful republic. He gave $200,000 to the last Democratic campaign fund, and $25,000 to the Republican one. Today he is bearing the entire expense of erecting for St. Vincent's Roman Catholic church in Los Angeles, a new edifice that will cost between a half a million and a million dollars. The oil investigation before the Senate committee doubtless has Doheny thinking hard and deeply these days, but it seems likely he regards it as just another hectic period in a hectic life. There has been "something doing" with him as far back as he can remember, and this is the latest "something." I have tried to piece together a picture of the psychology of Doheny by borrowing from two men who had opportunities of observing him, one within his office, the other working with him for the Irish Republic. All you get out of his testimony before the Senate Committee and his known acts are some jigsaw scraps and a personality. A poor prospector who struck it rich, very rich indeed; a man who lends $25,000,000 to the President of Mexico; a man who lends or gives $100,000 to a Cabinet member from whom he expects a valuable lease, who sends about money in suitcases, who tears signatures from notes, who almost boasts that he will make $100,000,000 from naval oil-lands, who has an inordinate passion for collecting ex-Cabinet members as others collect old masters, who breaks before the Senate inquiry like some poor devil under the third degree. "Why does he want to go on making all this money?" asks one of these two men who know him well. "Several years ago he had an offer of $60,000,000 for his interests. He's an old man; why does he go on, especially in such a fashion as this?. What is it that drives him?" "Almost a mania for power," the other tells me. "He hires ex-Cabinet officers for the sense of power that it givs him to have ex-Secretaries of the Treasury, ex-Secretaries of the Interior and ex-Attorney Generals working for him. He tosses about the Government of Mexico, setting up one President and pulling down another. He blocks the recognition of Mexico and has it recognized when he chooses, or at least he flatters himself that he does. He loans money to a foreign Government like one of those medieval banker-princes. He makes war on Great Britain in Ireland. He juggles a Mexican Republic in one hand and the Irish Republic in the other. If you cross him in the slightest matter, he becomes apopletic with raze." "He did not see anything wrong in sending that suitcase full of money to Fall," says the first. "I'll tell you why. If he had seen anything out of the way about it, he wouldn't have sent his own boy with the money. That boy, Eddie, is the apple of his eye. Whatever he might do himself, he would rather lose his right hand than see Eddie do anything that seemed to him questionable." "He is absolutely unmoral," explains the second. "I don't say immoral, but unmoral. People with a mania for power never have a sense of the moral quality of their acts. When he gives in an off-hand way $250,000 to the Irish cause, its simply love of the display of power which actuates him. To him there is no difference between dealing with the American Government and dealing with the Mexican Government. Neither may stand in his way. It looks to me like a good explanation. The cracking on the witness stand is easy to comprehend on this theory. All his power suddenly crumbled about him, and for the first time in his life he faced an unpleasantly great power.
