The platform begins by calling atten-

republican rule and mentioning the
TACT that exports exceed imports. Con-

And while the American people, sus-
talned by this Republican legislation,

trlumphs in their business and commerce

ciuded a war for liberty and human
rights. No thought of national aggran-
olzement tarnished the high purpose with
winch American standards were unfurled.

government was ready. Its fleets were

GOLD IDEAS THE BEST

The British war Office is rather a
curious institution. Shortly after the
South African war commenced it asked
for bids for ten thousand iron camp
bedsteads. A large contractor got the
job, and was ready to deliver modern
single beds almost Immediately, but
when he offered to do so he was told
they did not meet the specifications,
which were drawn up in 1908 for the
wars against Napoleon the great. The
war Office insisted upon its ancient
ideas, although they called for heavy
and unwieldy beds, costing two dol
lars each more than the modern arti-
cles ready at hand, and the bidder
was compelled to manufacture a new
outfit, occasioning an immense delay.

IMPORTANT OIL DECISION.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has just made a decision in an
oil and gas case which appears to up
set decisions by the Supreme Courts
of West Virginia and Pennsylvania,
and it is, therefore, of great local i'm
portance.
The cause was that of the Ohio Gil
Company V. the State of Indiana, and
was brought to test the constitution
atty of the Indiana law designed to
prevent a waste of natural gas. The
the Ohio Oil Company drilled oil wells
nthe edge of gas territory and thus
caused a large loss of gas. The oil
company was enjoined under the State
law and the case was upheld on con-
stititional grounds.
The decision of the Federal court,
written by Judge White, is to the eff
feet that oil and gas are the COM
mon property of the people, and that,
q lllS llSonL W lcS,~
ulate operations to the end that one
owner may not acquire a portion of
the property to the injury of another
having equal rights, and the oil COM
phny is therefore restrained from pro-
ducing OIL the obtaining of which in
wolves waste of gas by which other
interests are subjected to loss.
Under the decision State authori-
ties, acting under a State statute. will
have the right to shut down a flowing
oil we'll that the gas pressure and sup.
ply may be saved to others, and in
like manner pumping we'll might be
shut down if there was an undue or
even usual escape of gas. The decis-
ion may even go further, and raise
the question that a property owner
or lease owner may object to devel-
opments upon adjoining land, on the
ground that his share of the gas and
Oil is being impaired by such opera
tons. The Court has, apparently, not
helped the situation much.

AN UNIQUE RAILROAD.

Uncle Sam is at last in the railroad
business. He is running a road one
hundred and twenty miles long, and
charges no fare. This road is on the
island of LuZon, and is the only line
the Philippines boasts. 1t has one
terminus at Manila and the other at
Dagupan, on the west coast of the ISL
and, and it is run and managed by the
quartermasters department of the
army. Two trains start from each
end of the line every day, and are eX-
pected to reach the other end before
night. Two of these four trains are
for the use of natives, and are made
up of open and closed passenger cars,
freight cars, fiat cars and coal cars, in
discriminately-any old thing which
has wheels under it and which can
keep the tracks. These trains are
packed with Filipinos every trip, but
they pay no fare. All that is requisite
for transportation is a military pass.
The remaining two trains are military
trains, given up to the transportation
cs officers, soldiers and supplies, and
IL this case Also no fare is required.
1t is needless to say this railroad is
operated at loss, since there is no
revenue of any kind; but it Uncle

doubtless he will do better later on.

CADIZ, O., April 1o.-The bringing
in of a 10-barrel well by the Lawrence
Oil Company near what is known as
Rumley Crossing, near the Pan Han
die railway, about midway between
Scio and Jewett, has created no little
comment. During the Scio boom, ex-
perts said it was entirely improbable
that the Scio pool extended far toward
the Jewett pool. but this well proves
there is either a far-reaching extern
sion of the Scio pool or there is an
Independent field. Many are of the
latter opinion and the territory north
toward the village Of New Rumley
will be thoroughly tested
The report comes from Smithfield
that well has been completed north
of that place, which will produce 20
barrels day.
