fire to the woodwork. When the

possible explosions. The fire boys

WHY lola WILL BE GREAT.

The discovery of natural gas and its
utilization as fuel for manufacturing
purposes in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana, resulted in the most un-
paralleled Industrial activity. Large
towns were built up at country cross
roads. Villages became cities. And
for a long period of years enterprises
employing thousands of workmen
and supporting hundreds of thou
sands of people, were operated con-
tinuously and with enormous profit.
In accomplishing this wonderful
growth and development, however,
the natural gas, upon which it all
depended, was used with reckless
and wasteful extravaganza. Not only
in the villages and cities, but along
the country roads and at the farm
houses, great torches were lett burn
ing night and day. In many in
stances wells were allowed to blow
off at their full force for weeks at a
time, while many times more gas was
wasted than consumed in the mex
perienced and unskilled application
of it to FORCES and furnaces.
The result of this frightful waste is
at last becoming apparent. In all
three of the States above named, the
supply of natural gas is falling off
with so great rapidity that its COM
plete exhaustion is a matter of but

TIE NEXT BIG FTGHT.

The socialists from all parts of Kan
sas met at Pittsburg Tuesday and,
after adopting resolutions declaring
that they had been deceived by all
parties, organized themselves into a
new party with socialism as its corner
stone. This is the happening of the
expected, namely the split in the
POpulist party on the rock of social
ism. Every man who attended the
Pittsburg conference has been a Pop
ulist since the birth of that party.
They leave it now because. as they
assert, it has degenerated into a mere
conspiracy for spoiIs and no longer
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1897-11-19

represents any vital and well defined
principle.
This is the beginning of the end OF
Populism i'm Kansas. The honest
radicals in its ranks will 60 with the
socialists, for the. essence of Populist
doctrine has always been in the direc-
ton of socialism. The honest con-
servatives will return to the Repub-
lican party. Those who remain,
either through the delusiOn that the
defeat of the Republican party is a
victory for Reform" or through the
hunger for spOils, will be eventually
absorbed into the Democratic party.
The Populist party, as now organized,
is not. and can never become Ma
tional party. 1t has never gained a
victory in any State except by fusion.
1t never had any hope to accomplish
anything except through its radical
opposition to both the old parties.
1t abandoned that hope when it
adopted the policy of fusion with one
of those old parties. No political
party can be better than its equal
partner. The pOpulist party virtual
ly said that it had no higher purpose
and no wiser policies than the Demo
cratic party when it went into part
nership with that party. To all
intents and purposes, therefore, it has
itself become an "Old party" and the
worst of old ones at that. Why,
then, should any honest man who
Joined it seven years ago sincerely
believing that it heralded a new dis
pensatiOn and proclaimed a new
gospel, till cling to it now that ii
has confessed its inability to offer
anything better than was offered by
the old Democratic party?
The next really great political con-
test in this country will be over the
doctrines of socialism. The men who
met at Pittsburg Tuesday are the
pioneers in Kansas of movement
that has gradually been taking shape
for many years and that will continue
to gain strength until the issue is
squarely joined between the ancient
doctrine of individualism, as it has
been known and practiced since men
really became civilized, and the
equally old yet really untried theory
of State socialism. In that contest
there will be but two parties. One
will be the Republican party, holding
fast to the anchorage of its old faith.
The other will be the heir, successor
and assign OF the party organized at
Pittsburg Tuesday.
And you might as well get ready to
choose right now.

THERE has been fusion up in Frank
lin county for several years, but it has
happened somehow that whenever
any candidate on the fusion ticket
was a POpulist, and whenever anyone
was elected it was a Democrat. This
year, for example, the POpulists on
the fusion ticket ran from 800 to 500
behind the Democrats. The result is
a family row that is worth going miles

which we understand to be the
strongest one in that field, was tested
the other day and showed a daily
output of :, 100000 feet ofgas. That is

lola. The smallest well in this field
measures 100000, the next smallest
is 100000, several others are $780,
600, while at least three go to the
100000 mark. The more that is
