put down tank lines to tidewater But
while their tanks were full and their wells
per force plugged, they could not get rid
of their oil. There were many purchasers
ready to buy, but no shipping facilities.
Tank cars? Yes the railroads had plenty
of them and would have them there soon.
They did not come. Tank vessels? Yes;
but busy just for little while Cooperage
to barrel the oil and flat cars to carry it
away? Yes; thousands of them, and they
would be here soon. They did not come.
Private corporations were slow in sus-
pecting anything because there was no ap-
parent rivalry. Everything was good
natured and everybody was cheerfully well
coined. But finally realized that the octopus
was only feigning sleep, and that it really
had fastened its tentacles on the oil business
in Texas. Those who have oil can not dis
pose of it and are being ruined by holding
lit. They will be compelled to turn loose.
There will be much red hot rhetoric in
Texas soon, and the octopus will be sought
in his abiding place, but whether or not he
can be overcome is question that is not
without the elements of doubt in it.-Con1-

liveried footman was in attendance The
carriage was open. Upon the rear seat sat
becapped French maid. Upon the seat
beside her, sitting upon its launches, was
blanketed dog. That dog was being driven
out for an airing and the maid was in at
tendance upon his dogship.
'While I stopped looked beyond the
carriage and saw workingman carrying a
baby and accompanied by his wife, stand
ing on the crossing. They were facing me,
and their progress had been checked like
mine by the passing of the carriage. The
workingman was clean, but threadbare. He
looked hungry and his wife looked worn.
The babe looked strong and WE'LL In the

looked at the coachman, the footman, the

come into that mans eyes and saw his

THE OCTOPUS IN TEXAS

Driven out of Texas, bag and baggage
kept out until it pleaded for mercy and
promised to be good, the Standard Oil
Company was permitted to re-enter the
state on the arm of Senator 10 Baily, who,
with Ithuriel's spear, had driven it bowling
beyond the portals. 1t came in with no song
of defiance, but with becoming meekness
and humility, and it resumed operations
with all the apparent gratitude of a par
doned convict, and people believed that its
penitence was sincere. When the gushers
were discovered on Spindle Top and Beau
mont, and every one was going wild over
the discovery, the Standard Oil Company
never raised its eyes from its desk or mani
tested any interest in the matter. It was
not interested in the matter, it said.
And when the wells it had sunk and sealed
up were uncovered by curious investigators,
it merely shrugged its shoulders indifer-
emily and said nothing. It was not inter-
ested. The Beaumont oil could flow all it
wanted to, it could not be refined, and it

not in the coal business nor in the wood and

posed to have gone to sleep. Recent de-

er and built pipe lines to the coast. They
had storage tanks and all necessary equip
ment, and from being men who could not
conduct sand pit or lime kiln successfully
they became men of great business and
financial capacity capable of handling with
facility vast enterprises. Their oil gushed
from many pillars and they marketed it.

hHAERHAPS I cannot do better than to
! In compare society as it then was to a
H prodigious coach which the masses
3y were harnessed to and dragged toll
somely along very billy and sandy road.
The driver was hunger, and permitted no lag
ging, though the pace was necessarily very
slow. Despite the difficulty Of drawing the
coach at all along 80 hard a road, the top was
covered with passengers who never got down,
even at the steepest ascents. These seats on
the top were very breezy and comfortable.
Well up out Of the dust, their occupants could
enjoy the scenery at their leisure, or critically
discuss the merits of the straining team. Nat
urally such places were in great demand and
the competition for them was keen, every one
seeking as the first end in life to secure seat
on the coach for himself and to leave it to his
child after him. By the rule of the coach a
man could leave his seat to whom he wished,
but on the other hand there we're many acci-
dents by which it might at any time be wholly
lost. For all that they we're so easy, the seats
we're insecure, and at every sudden jolt of the
coach persons were slipping out of them and
falling to the ground, whore they were in
stantly compelled to take hold Of the rope and
help to drag the coach on which they had
before ridden SO pleasantly. It was naturally
regarded as terrible misfortune to lose ones
seat, and the apprehension that this might
happen to them or their friends was a constant
cloud upon the happiness Of those who rode.
But did they think only Of themselves? you
ask. Was not their very luxury rendered in
tolerable to them by comparison with the lot
of their brothers and sisters in the harness and
the knowledge that their own weight added to
their toll? Had they no compassion for fellow
beings from whom fortune only distinguished
them? Oh, yes; commiseration was frequently
expressed by those who rode for those who
had to pull the coach, especially when the
vehicle came to bad place in the road, as it
was constantly doing, or to particularly
steep hill. At such times, the desperate strain
ing Of the team, their agonized leaping and
plunging under the pitiless lashings of hunger,
the many who tainted at the rope and were
trampled in the mire, made distressing spec-
tacle, which often called forth highly credible
displays of feeling on the top of the coach. At
such times the passengers would call down
encouragingly to the toilers of the rope, ex-
horting them to patience, and holding out
hopes of possible compensation in another
world for the hardness of their lot, while 9TH
ers contributed to buy salves and lniments
for the crippled and injured. 1t was agreed
that it was great pity that the coach should

JUL ult Socialism is? You have

heard It denounced many time, but, do you
know what it is?
The word Socialism" is terrible bug
bear to many well meaning people. There is
no word in the English language that has been
construed to mean something that it did mean
more than Socialism" You have heard it
denounced by public writer's and reviled by
public speakers. You have been led to believe
that it is low-lived, vile and foolish; that it is
un-American, unwise and unworkable, and
that Socialists are red handed murderers, dy-
namitere and bomb throwers. You have got
ten those ideas into your head because you
have allowed some one to think for you.
Now, John, don't let yourself be scared at
"socialism." It will not hurt anyone but
thieves, politicians, and despots. Socialism is
simply Applied Christianity; it is the Gold
On Rule put in Practice.
What Socialism Is:
"The ethics of Socialism are identical with
the ethics OF Christ y."-Encyclopa
Britannica.
"It is simply applied Christianity the Gold
en- Rule applied to every day life." = Prof.
r. P. Ely.
Socialism is the ideal and hope of new
society founded on industrial peace and fore
thought, aiming at a new and higher life for
all men."-Wm. Morris.
Let no man fear the name OF Socialism :

Father William Barry.
"The whole aim and purpose Of Socialism
is closer union of social factors. The pres
ent need is growth in that direction" PROF.

things and eternally, the laws Of life; anarchy
and competition, eternally and in all things,

down existing institutions and demoralize So

"The citizens of a large nation, industri-

possible happiness when the producing, dis

each citizen finds in them place for all his
energies, and aptitudes while he obtains the
means of satisfying all his desires" Herbert
Spencer.
Socialism is often summarily dismissed
with the remark that the time is not ripe for
it. Socialists have no idea of harvesting crop
before it is ripe. They do not contend, how
ever, that unripeness of the crop is no reason
for not cultivating it. Socialism being the
product OF social evolution, the only danger
lies in obstructing it."-Rev. F. M. Sprague

"Socialism does not consist in violently
siezing upon the property of the rich and
sharing it out amongst the poor. Socialists do
not propose by single Act of Parliament, or
by sudden revolution, to put all men on an
equality and compel them to remain so. So
cialism is not a wild dream of happy land
where the apples will drop off the trees into
our open mouths, the fish to come out of the
rivers and fry themselves for dinner and the
looms to turn out ready made suits with gold
buttons without coaling the engine. Neither
