The Volunteers of America.

," HERE is probably no city
in the United States where
II in the reports sent out of
a reconciliation of the
Ballineton Booths and Commander
Booth, and Of the 'amalsamaton" of
the Volunteers of America with the
Salvation Army. have awakened more
interest. more concern. and more dis
approval than in this city of Scran-
ton, where Mr.. and Mrs. Ballington
Booth are so we'll known and 81
highly regarded.
The cause of the rupture Of rela =
tions between them and the COM
mander is perfectly understood here.
The Commander who is an autocrat in
his family and in the Salvation Army
more despotic than any crowned head
of nation save Turkeys Sultan.
disapproved vehemently of the Ameri-
canization of the Army methods that
was introduced by the Ballington
Booths THE rotation in the COM
mand of the Army here" which is so
gliby announced in some papers as
tie only cause of the Ballneton
Booths action" included an entire
reversal of the majority of the
methods introduced by them as most
In line with American methods in
other matters. This ''only" cause
was therefore one entirely sufficient
In itself to command the approval
and the practical sympathy of the ma
,crity of those who in this country
had been giving financial and moral
support to the younger Booths for
years before tha break.
The cause of the Volunteers of
America was fully set forth in Scran-
ton Immediately after its orguniza-
tion. by Mr. and Mrs. Ballington
Booth in person, and its plans eX-
planned. and approved here by sub
stantial help given. The approval and
the help have never since failed. In a
very wide circle here it is perfectly un-
derstood that Balington Booth spoke
the simple truth when, in denying the
reports of reconciliation and uniting
of the "Volunteers" and the Army.
he said last Monday afternoon in New
York: THE government and princi-
pies of the two movements are so at
variance that union would be i'm
possible"
The prison work, and the work for
discharged convicts that has been so
large feature of the Ballington
Booths work from the day that the
Volunteers We're organized has grown
in scope and in success with each
succeeding year. The Homes OF
Hope" they have established on Long
Island and in an outlying suburb of
Chicago, as official records give as
surance, restored almost all of the
inmates whom they have received
from New York and Illinois peniten-
tinries to honest lives.
At the present time General and
Mrs. Rallington Booth are preparing
to start great industrial settlement
on tract of over $4,000 acres in
Southern Georgia, for which the ne
gotta tions are almost closed and the
PLANS for settlers are outlined. The
announcement Is made this week, a

TH E NEW YORK SUN
Money Article, Headed
The Financial situation
published each Monday, has for Is
years been looked for with the great
est interest in banks and counting
rooms and among all financial men,
and has been respected as perhaps
the most intelligent review of the
money market and stock market. In
this article, Monday, June 3, the
Sun in the course of review of the
business and condition of the South
western Railway systems says: "An-
other potent influence affecting Atch-
| inson for good is the oil discoveries.
People here have not paid as much
attention to this matter as they
should. The general tendency has
been to scout it as a craze. But
there is no longer any doubt that it
represents permanent and almost
incalculable increase of wealth to the
Southwestern territory, and hence,
inevitably. to the Atchinson, South
ern Pacific and other railroads in that
section. These railroads will gain
much by the additional business
generally growing out of the new de-
will be in the astonishing saving
rendered possible to them in the cost
of fuel. A ton of coal in oil does not
cost over 81, whereas the coal used
by the Southern Pacific and Atchin-
son railroads last year cost between
$3 and 81 ton. AS the expendi-
ture for this purpose is nearly 25
per cent of the total cost of trans
a a ho
ance of the new found economy is
apparent. It means millions of dol
lars to these railroad properties"
This article fairly represents the
trend of thought toward the oil in
dustry among capitalists generally.
The magnitude of the industry and
it's Importance as a source of wealth
is perhaps not yet appreciated by the
general public, but the leaders in
finance recognize fully that oil and
its numerous by-products is to cut
great and constantly growing fig
ure in our domestic and export trade,
the extent of which is already colos-
sal.
To make money in oil it is only
necessary to discriminate carefully
and invest in stock of companies
that are under practical and respon-
sible management and have large
holdings of oil lands secured at low
prices. THE PACIFIC COAST AND
TEXAS OIL COMPANY is such a
corporation and this stock offers the
best opportunity to investors of any

Public opinion may well decide to

belief OF the new recorders friends. a
belief based upon three years demon

that the same power, when welded Iu-

aims, can and will contribute greatly
to the promotion of good government
and of that spirit of public confidence
which is the parent of permanent de-
velopment.
The people of Scranton are less con-
Cerncd over the personal Vicissitudes
of Office holders than they are over
the welfare of their government and
the aid it gives to encouraging the
forces of progress. For five years the
government of Scranton has been the
theme of jests at home and of sur
prise elsewhere. The time has come
for the turning of a new leaf. EXpec-
tation will naturally and should be
high Provided it is also fair, and
coupled with cordial corporation, we
have no doubt of the vindication of
the governors choice.
