The oil inquiry has come to a stage at which it is making people look simultaneously tragic and ridiculous. What could be more tragic, what could be more ridiculous, than Republican Senators hastening to the White House to ask the President instantly to require the resignation of Attorney General Harry Daugherty. Here is an Attorney General who throughout Washington has for years been known to be what he is, whatever that may be. Daugherty's character and record had been unknown to them until a fledgling Senator from Montana could come forward to enlighten them.
