of course that the Oil Producers' Aso
ciation accept the terms offered by that
company for distributing the product
The Los Angeles field is in no danger
except from idiosyncracics of the press
in that city which has done more to tie
up the tiil industry than have the small
producers who during the temporary
lrnrfssion. have been obliged to sell
their oil at prices below a fair profit.
The demand for oil is steadily increasing
the market is broadening continually.
consumers are either waiting for it or
preparing their furnace for its use. All
that is needed at Los Angeles and other
points is a method of distribution of
the crude-product. The advice given by
some of the Southern papers to the pro
ducers to get out and find a market for
their oil is the silliest of nonsense. They
have no need to "make" or to "develop"
a market the market is made and will
continue to develop as fast as the oil can
be delivered. Transportation facilities
are sufficient for the present and will be
increased as demanded. There isn't
much likelihood of transportation rates
being reduced until the producers de-
cide who shall act as distributing agent.
ith the Oil Storage and Transporta-
tion Company handling the surplus in
the Los Angeles field and the Standard
Oil Company taking the major part of
the product of Kern county and other
counties contiguous the transportation
rates will be adjusted p. d. q. The rail-
roads are not going to hold out against
the big distributors they are in with
the game. And it will be a winning game
for the oil producers. If the Western
Oil News is not badly mistaken there
willbe the biggest movement in crude oil
before the next rainy season sets in that
this state has ever dreamed of. The
ground floor doors to the California oil
industry are wide open now and the
wise man will get in before they close.
And one of the indications of the future
of the industry is written in the item
that chronicles the first shipment by the
Standard Oil Company of crude oil from
Redondo Beach.

. SEATS ON THE EXCHANGE.
There are men in all the walks of
life who are fond of boasting about
their business acumen and their pow-
ers of money making and Wall street
has its braggarts as well as any other
locality. Two brokers met the other
day on their way home in a ferryboat
and one of them said to the other lu
a frieutlly spirit:
"Well old man is the Street using
vou well these days?"
Tsing me well!" exclaimed the oth-
er in a loud voice as his chest stuck
out like a pouter pigeon's. "Why say
my hoy I just coined money before
that Northern Pacific corner spoiled
the boom and I was smart enough not
to get caught in the squeeze either.
Pulled out a big winner sir a big win-
ner. Ijet some of my friends In for a
slice of the good thing too. Why. say
one of my office boys bought a seat on
the stock exchange with his winnings
on tips from me. What do you think
ff tbat " And bis eyes swept the cir-
cle of admiring faces which his boast-
ing had caused to turn toward him.
His companion evidently did not like
this and in somewhat sarcastic tones
replied:
"Why that's nothing. One of my of-
fice boys got a aeat on the exchange
too."
PM he?" exclaimed the braggart
rather k.-ptlc!lr . I did not bear
alout that. How did be manage it?"
"Walkitg backward across the floor
of the exchange he stepped on an or
ange pef-i and his feet t hot out in j
front of him." j

a freight rate wherhy it can be distrih-
. . . . ii
utid at reasonable com to lactone an
over the State have arranged a plan for
building a pipe line to some point in
L ouisiana. piping the product there and
thru shipping it back into and over the
State via Beaumont. They are com-
pelled to do this because of the Rail-
road Commission. The freight rates
from Louisiana to Texas common poinU
arc lower than the rate from Beaumont
to Texas common points and the Com-
mission has. so far absolutely and with
out "reason refused to lower the Texas
rate.
For years it has been the contention
that the principal obstruction to the de-
velopment and successful operation of
factories in Texas was the excessive cost
of fuel. When the Beaumont wells with
their wonderful supply of fuel was dis-
covered it was thought and freely pre-
dicted that a new tra had dawned upon
Texas an era wherein the many indus-
tries struggling for existence in this
state would be placed upon an equal
basis with their Northern and Eastern
competitors by reason of the discover-
ing of a cheap and abundant fuel supply
at their very doors. But how vain were
these hopes ; how groundless those pre- J
dictions and all because the Railroad
Commission was. not taken into consid
eration. The men who hoped for an
immediate stimulation of industrial ac-
tivity in Texas through the discovery
of its own inexhaustible fuel supply;
and those who saw the sun of a new day
rising over the industrial horizon little
dreamed that their reckonings had to
include an oligarchy of the most obsti
nate kind or that the sun was capable of
being totally eclipsed by the fat and lean
human forms who seemingly hold the
ndustrial destiny of Texas within the
palms of their hands.
As has been repeatedly said and de
monstrated the use of Beaumont oil for
fuel purposes is no longer an experiment
Its successful utility has been proven
ime and again. It has been tried in all
the principal cities of Texas where fac
tories are in operation and its use would
beccome general if the railroads were
allowed to handle it at reasonable rates
It is much cheaper than coal. Its use
would cheapen the cost of production of
many articles and the cost price of
those articles "could be correspondingly
reduced to Texas consumers. The en-
tire State would be benefitted. But the
Railroad Commission sits upon its little
throne and issues a ukase to the effect
that rates shall not be decreased. They
will not even grant a hearing upon the
subject in order that the question may
be intelligently discussed. The railroads
of Texas have found that Beaumont oil
always great is vastly Increased since
they are o universally read and since
science Is able more or less accurately
to guarge tbelr Influence for good or
evil and ot saddle editors with their
own loads.
In several Instances associations of
alienists have disc-used tbe responsi-
bility of tbe press in reference to In-
sanity crime and suicide always comr
ing to tbe conclusion tbat It Is Impor-
tant and great. A brain which Is half
erased with troubles and difficulties of
life will often have only a short way
to go to thoughts of suicide. Men
whose minds are disordered by want
and misfortune are often induced to
try highway robbery burglary and
abduction by reading accounts of these
things written up as if they were fine
adventures. Murder and all klnrs of
crime are suggested by newspapers
when tbey are not carefully conducted
with an eye to the general public in-
terest. There is a belief among speculators
in the publishing trade tbat the people
want highly embellished accounts of
crime. The morgues and police courts
are scoured for criminal stories and
they are often furnished to tbe public
with picture and phrase that no read
er can escape. Tbey exert a wide reacn
ing and a positively harmful influence
upon the people. But does the public
o rany large part ot It really want
this kind of journalism? There is a
demand for tbe news of course ana
this it is tbe duty of every good news
paper to supply to its readers day by
day.
It stands as a clearing house between
them and the world at large to collect
and report such information as they
ought to possess.
Tbey ought not to want and ought
not to ave what is harmful t them
and should avoid the papers which
make it a business to publis such mat-
ter as they would some poisonous in-
sect. That is a certain amount of bitter
must go along with the sweet is well
understood. Crime and suicide when
Nearby the well there is large pond
of water wbitb is covered with oil. pos-
sibly there it four or five barrels of it.
though there is no determining just how
much there really it. The drillers
were talked with and they expressed it
as their opinions that the vein would
probably produce one hundred barrels
a day. The reports that the well would
produce one thousand barrels a day ar;
exaggerated.
The owner of the well are very mtn'lt
rncouraged by striking the vein Friday.
and are very hopeful of striking a larger
vein consequently' the boring was con-
fnurd and when they ceased work Sat
urday night were down a little over one
hundred feet.
A twelve-inch pipe with a six-inch tiipe
in the center is being used in this well
and it is thought that it will give suffi-
cient play to allow the pipe to pass
through a large gravel as they may hap
pen to strike.
The well is on the edge of a marsh
near a bayou and although but a few
barrels of oil are spread out over the
pond there is no telling how much was
pumped up Saturday asit runs off into
the bayou.
GEN. SICKLESINSDL.TINa "DE-
FENSE" OF PENSIONERS.
World's Work.
Mr. Evans the commissioner of
pensions has done his difficult official
duty well; and 'General Sickles has
been tbe means of making his excel-
lent service widely known.
For General Sickles has had a pub-
lic controversy with Mr. Evans and
has written to the president and to
the newspapers to show why the com-
missioner should be removed from of
fice. He has said in effect that the
civil war veterans are vindictive men
dicants and that they will punish the
political party that keeps a man in of
fice who inquires rigidly into the des-
terts of new claimants for pensions
This is the same tiresome and costly
parade of our worst public scandal
that has been made at intervals for
twenty years the same insult to hon-
orable pensioners the same rallying
cry of the mendicant ones who have
brought the Grand Army into disre-
pute. The civil war was ended thirty-six
years ago. From the beginning to the
end of it there were not more than
2000000 different men in the military
and naval service. Yet the number of
pensioners has been more than 1500-
000. There- are about 1000000 of them
now long after most of the men who
Berved in the war are dead; and the
pension roll last year cost 1139000000.
The frauds that have been perpetrated
by claim agents are beyond'recloning
and the most pitiful display of the
weakest side of human nature Is tbat
which has been made for years by the
continued additions to the pension roll.
It is a thing that men who have faith

These things fall then within the
field of news but they should always
be treated with dignity and with the
sole view of giving the public the nec

highly colored touches out of the re

evils. Stories of crime that bring in
people of no consequence and are sim-
ply printed to satisfy Bome prurient

striking of oil at well No. 3 on Friday
night.
There were no new developments at
the well and ther is nothing more to re-
port than was contained in onr specials
from Vinton Saturday.
The well is situated on the Alain
Vincent place two and one-half miles
south of Vinton and is situated about
three hundred feet from the first well
attempted by the Stribbling company
and which was abandoned. In the first
well a twelve inch p:e had been ed

there was not stiffinent play between the

ALL FOOLISH TALK ABOU8 IM-
PERIALISM MUST ALSO GO.
Domocrats over the country seem to
be as delighted because they have had
the nerve to sidetrack free silver as chil-
dren with a new toy. They were led
around by the nose in 1896 and were
beaten. They did not dare break away
from Bryanism in iooo and were again
defeated. But now out in Ohio a Dem-
ocratic convention has refused point
! blank either to endorse Bryan or ratify
his Kansas City platform and now Dem- J
ocrats all around are tossing up their
hats.
This country is not for free silver.
They have found that out. But if they
think they are going to have plain sail-
ing in future just because they are un-
burdening themselves of a portion of the
load that Bryan placed iion them they
are mistaken. There are some other
fatal theories and policies which thy must
drop by the wayside. There is all the
fiKilish talk alxuit "imperialism" for in-
stance. The country is heartily tired and sick
of that nonsense as it is of unlimited sil-
ver coinage. There is no such thing as
''imperialism" and never was. A few
New England people with queer notions
tried to make it appear that the nation
was in great danger of becoming an em-
pire or something fiVe that and they did
their bet to urge on Agtiinaldo but
Agttinaldo himself has given up his for-
mer views with his surrender and onr
New England friends haven't a leg to
stand on.
And o if the Democrat are wise ther
w-11 just throw overboard their theory
of "impetial sm" along with free trade
and w hen ther base done that there w iTI
be ample opportunity to rid themselves
and thc-r party of other policies tvTrrow-
ed from tSe popti'ists. Whrn ther hate
