Our public schools are our standing
armies, and tnat in these we train
a citizenship which does not re
qulre TO be kept in obedience by
bullets or hayonetS. because the
school teaches them that liberty
under law is freedom and the ge-
MUS of the republic which they are
taught to love TO establish such
SchoolS IN our new possessions,

all of school age must attend,
is the first step toward civilzing
these new inhabitants for whom
we are. for time at least, respou-

Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines, as IN our own country,
should float the flag of the nation
which has poured out its blood and
treasure to give these people free

should be taught the deep mean

be taught that its stripes Of white

Disastrous Fire in Beaumont Oil Fields.

Beaumont, Tex, April "a dis
astrous fire is in progress in the oil
fields tonight. Heywood's well
struck a heavy flow of gas tonight
and it caught fire from torch in
the hands of workmen. The flames
shot in the air high above the der
rick and continues to burn. The
derrick was destroyed and all the
machinery greatly damaged. No
one was injured. No attempt was
made to extinguish the fire.
This well is about l5O feet from
the Hamill we'll, which developed
the same gas feature few days
ago. Water, mud and rock are
shooting out of the pipe sixty feet
high and the contact with the flames
makes a cloud of steam.
At 4:3O o'clock this afternoon
another gusher was opend up in the
Beaumont field in Guffey's No. 2.
on Gladys city property. The we'll
had been closed down several days
awaiting the arrival of cable drill
to penetrate the oil stream. As in
the case of the Sharp well, when
the water was baled ont before let
ting down the drill, oil broke
through and spouted up to the top
of the derrick. The we'll was prompt
ly shut off by gate valve prepared
before hand, and the capacity can
not be estimated as yet, but it is
considered to have the same flow
struck in other wells. The Sharp
we'll, which had about the same ex-
perience. has not panned on. so
we'll. 1t spurted a great deal of
mud and water and less oil.
The city is again filed with visi-
tors, this mornings train bringing
in large number from the West,
including some of the most promi-
nent Oil men and capitalists North
and East.
