Referring to the oil development

lettering TO the OIL development
around Beaumont, Mr. Edmonds says:
"The work which has been accom-
plished in the actual development of
that district in the building of pipe
lines and tanks, and a creation of q
market for the oil, has probably never
been surpassed in this country, or in
any other, in the broad and compre-
hensiVe opening up of any new dis
trict il oil, or in any mineral devei-
opment. Yet UP to the present time
all of this has been but the prelimina-
~ stage in the real progress of max
ing a world wide market and creating
facilities commensurate with the out
put of the oil wells of Texas, soon to
be followed. judging by all reports
that have been made, by oil wells of
Louisiana and Alabama. This stretch
of territory along the gulf promises to
be not only the greatest source of oil
supply for the world, but likewise the
center for natural gas rivaling if not
SURPRISING, the natural gas fields Of
Indiana and for salt works and other
industrial interests, on an equally
broad scale. For long time that
section of the south looked with jeal-
GUS eye upon the development of the
coal and iron districts and the people
along the gulf coast seemed to think
that the Piedmont and mountain re-
gon of the south has been more IA
vored by nature. But it is now an
open question of the gulf coast of the
south has not potentialities equally as
great as the richest of its coal and
iron districts"

London, Dec. 9.-Domestic intellect

chief topics of conversation. A ro-
mantle halo surrounding the young
queen and the keen interest taken in
her marriage only help to accentuate
public curiosity and sympathy. More.

dal may have grave political consc-
quences for Europe. and hence its de-
velopments are followed closely by
statesmen. While those best fitted to
judge are inclined to the belief that
1t will all blow over, for the present
there are grave apprehensions for the
future.
From personal point of view. En-
gland is more deeply concerned in
the scandal going on in Hesse, where
one OF Queen Victoria's granddaugh-

who was only IS when she exchanged
her British title for a continental one,
has proved one of the most unsatis-

on the eve nf beginning the fulfill
ment OF its 81 at mission, the Ques
ton IS: what IS best to be done to
obtain the most beneficial results?
Leave the affairs of the institu.
ton in the hands of those who have
been selected to shape its destinies.
We believe such course is the
only sensible one to pursue.
1t is vast undertaking to set in
motion the machinery of an institu-
ton like the Industrial Institute.
1t is not days job; not even the
work of year. 1t is a task which
requires much preparation; the
thoughtful, earnest efforts of ex-
perienced educators. All the men
connected with the management of
the institution are eminently fitted
to judiciously direct its affairs.
Prot. Brown Ayres, a member of
the Board, is known Throughout the
country as one Of the foremost and
best informed educators to be
found anywhere, and the character
of Lafayette's representative in that
body is d guarantee of fair and
square deal. Premature and un
reasonable criticism can have no
good effect 1t can only retard the
growth OF the institution, whereas
the community's loyal and intelli-

manae smrnt. increase it's power for
good and make things much pleas
an,er all around.
/. must be remembered that it
| Will take much time to enable any
| one to judge of the quality of work
that will be done by the Institute.
Until it las had an opportunity to
do Its work and to give proof OF its
worth, it is bnt reasonable for US to
withhold our judgment. In the
very nature of things an institution
| of this character must be accorded
ample time to fulfill its obligations
! to the public. As we stated in the
foregoing it is an undertaking of
great magnitude. 1t must, of ne
cessiry, be incomplete at the start.
No great institution has ever
reached ttc zenith of it's power dur
ing the first year or decade of its
existence. Slowly but gradually it
will establish its various depart
ments. Inc trunk of the tree must
grow before the sprouting OF the

The South and her Idols.
IimeS-DenOCrat,

| Times Democrat.
The teuacity with which the
Southern people cling to their idols
Is shown by the fact that what is
called s'McLaurinism' in South
Ca, DINA has but small promise Of
victory over the reactionary, Bour-
bon politics of Tillman, says the
Portland Oregonian. This is be-
cause the Southern people are men
of sentiment and prejudice COM
pared with what they were wont to
term "mean Yankee" The
average Northern-bred man is pure
''buslness. Make it clear to him
that it is to his pecuniary advantage
to re-examine and re-adjust his
political creed, and he will do it
unf1inchingly: he would put a rail-
road through the family grave plot
if he were convinced that it was the
best obtainable line. The dead are
generally suffered to bury their
dead among men of Yankee birth
and breeding, but in the South
sentiment and prejudice count for
a great deal; sentiment not sell
dom prevails over self-interest.
The way the people of the North
and the South treat the memories
of the civil war illustrates the diff
ferent temper of the two peoples.
The people of the North consid er
the civil war as a most momentous
bit of business that cost a deal of
blood and treasure, but treat it as
part of our honorable past history,
with which, however, we have no
present business beyond paying it's
yet unpaid bills in shape of public
debt and pensions. For this rea-
son the non-sentimental people Of
the North do not make much gen
orally of the birthday of Lincoln or
Grant. They do not make much of

Are we to look to the gentler sex

be dcwned only by a Joan of Arc?
1t would seem so. New York Life
points out that in the fight Of Arts

women combaiants have been the
ones to show real courage and stay
ing power, and that women have
won where men were ingloriously
defeated. The way in which Messrs
Goodwin, jefferson, Wilson and
Mansfield gave in Is well remem-
bered. That Mrs. Fiske, Miss
Crosman and Miss Bingham have
stuck nobly to their colors is equally
EVIDENT" There is pig suggestion
in this. The women spend seven
