Lafayette '.All Tore Up" Over the
Glascock Case-Miscellaneous
State News Notes.

Muncie, Ind. Sept 5.-The pre-
dicted rush of oil operators all over
the Muncie-Parker City field has be-
gun, and there is a general clamor by
men Of money and by men who have
few dollars laid away in their bu-
reau drawers to get into the oil bust
ness. Conservative. sound business
men are not In hurry to invest In
oil property in this district, and when
q man Of this kind is seen to be oper-
ating in the field. 1t is usually safe
guess that he either is In a. thoroughly
tested territory or that he is spending
somebody else's money In an expert
ment.
Like Prospecting for Gold.
The truth of the matter is that while
fortunes have been made and are be-
ing made in this district, they are
exceptional while the sinking of for
tunes is the rule. Occasionally n
wildcat well shows up strong and
money, or paying property in the heart
of the producing district is sold to
some foreign company for an immense
sum and the sellers thereby make
money, but ordinarily. the plain. hard
working, inexperienced man has TO
business to invest in oil in this local
itv.
What an OIL Nan Says.
Indeed, one of the oil men who has
made an independent fortune out of
the business in this vicinity, mostly by
obtaining producing wells and selling
ago: If l were man in ordinary
circumstances and had $1,000 that
wanted to invest in oil, I'd take tie
money up to Charley Blanks gambling

1t is too early yet to estimate tie
area that will be planted in cotton;
Diversified crops are gaining land
every year, but the time has not yet
arrived when cotton will cease to &C.
cupy half of the land on most farms in
the Southwest. Low prices, the boil
weevil and lack of labor to properly
and promptly gather the crop as fast
as 1t natures, are obstacles the cotton
planter must contend with, and of
these the labor problem is not the
least in Importance. The cotton that
matured and wasted in Texas alone
for want of plckers, would make many
poor farmers rich. Much that is de-
layed in picking is so badly injured by
weathering that it brings low price,
thus entailing another heavy loss.
The only way to remedy these evils is
to gradually introduce crops that pay
better profit on the land and labor
than cotton, and grow less cotton and
get better price for it. AS the price
has been fairly good this season, the
probability is that there will be very
little reduction in acreage, and next
years prices will depend largely on
the seasons, and the boil weevIl.-

The New York Journal of Commerce
says: '"The policy of prescribing by
law the hours and wages of labor in
private employment, even though it is
engaged upon public work under con-
tract, is a most pernicious meddIing
with the natural laws of competition,
as much so as would be a law prescrib-
ing the price to be paid for materials
used. 1t is a gratifying sign that
courts are showing a disposition to
hold legislation to established lines in
the exercise of public authority.

A story comes from Washington
that Chicago woman has been using
the mails in an improper way. Post
master General Payne ordered that
her letters be excluded from the mails,
whereupon the fair Chicagoan wrote
asking him for a personal hearing so
that her side of the case could be pre-
sented. 81 feel sure" she wrote
"that if I could get chance to look
straight into your beautiful brown
eyes you would hear my story" Mr..
Payne by the way of a joke wrote on a
blank leaf of the letter: Respectfully
referred to the Secretary of War for
advice" and sent it over to Mr.. Root.
The latter Immediately returned it
with this indorsement:ss "Risk one eye.

The Marine Engine i. Awe.

All good old chiefs love their engines
and come to believe in them. To all Of
us assistants and 'prentices they were
not the mere machines that they ap-
pear to the outsider, but quite human.
Every noise they made, every motion,
every trick they had we knew and had
the reason for it. Kipling speaks of the
marine engine as the most sensitive
thing man ever invented. There's a
sort of cold, lifeless, though admirable,
precision in a telescope and a fine re-
gard for details in a photograph, but
the marine engine is alive; it strains
and labors desperately, it groans with
rheumatism In its joints, screams with
the pain of tight bearings, staggers
and plunges against the oncoming seas,
gets oct of breath and runs away with
itself, trembling like frightened
horse.-Benjamin Brooks in Scribners.

WILL WARE HAVE TO co.

Tt was generally admitted that FL.
Clay Evans, while he was Pension
Commissioner, was as faithful and
efficient as a Northern Republican
could well be under the circumstances.
He had to fight the pension grabbers,
and he had only the half-hearted sup
port of the administration. Notwith-
standing all the explanations to the
contrary Mr.. Evans was forced out of
off ce because he was too honest to suit
the views of the hooters.
When Mr.. Ware was appointed it
was claimed that he was as honest, as
fearless and as conscientious as Mr.
Evans had been, and though this may
be claimed too much for him it seems
pretty certain that he is not giving
satisfaction to the G.. A, r. which or
ganization appears more anxious to
obtain pensions for its member than it
is to protect the public treasury or to
stand by faithful Official
Mr.. Wares friends claim that he is
only doing his duty and faithfully OBJ
serving his oath of Office, but that is
just where he is giving offence. If the
office is faithfully and honestly admin
istered there will be little chance for
Iooting, and that is just where the OBJ
lection to Mr.. Ware lies. He is too
honest for the men who want to raid
the treasury.
Will the President stand up to him?
Well, we may be permitted to doubt
it, in view of the past and the require
ments of the future There is a Presi.
Dental election coming on next year
and Roosevelt wants to be elected.
The old soldier vote is very strong
and the G. A. r. is power in politics
To antagonize those influences will
jeopard1ze his election, and Roosevelt
knows it. The facility exhibited by
him in signing private pension bills
passed by the last Congress gives lit.
tie hope that he will sustain an officia
who runs counter to the desires of the
pension grabbers. He will let Ware
go, just as he let Evans go.

A friend once took reformed gam
bier to a religious meeting. The preach
err devoted a large part of his discourse
to remarks rejecting upon the past
life of the gambler. The man who had

thought it incumbent on him to apollo
gize for introducing him into a place
where he would hear himself abused.

MANAGER OF MINING INTERESTS
In an Interview he Speaks in Glowing
Terms of his MiningI Property Near
Douglas, Wyoming.

MIR. H. c. Saul aid wife, of Doug
las, Wyo., arrived in Denison last
Thursday evening far visit with Mr..
Saul's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Saul,
while in town Mr.. Saul took occasion
to visit the REVIEW office, and while
visiting, told OF his mining prospects at
Douglas. He is of the opinion that the
mine is going to prove a winner, and
many have taken stock unsolicited, a.
mong them being several Omaha ..part-
les. A new smelter is being erected a
short distance from the mine, therefore
doing away with long haul. They
were compelled to ship ore to Denver
heretofore In referring to the mine.
the Budget, OF Douglas. has the fol-
lowing to say:
Latest reports from the Three Grip
Piles mine, in Spring Hill district are
very encouraging. Mr.. Fl. c.. Saul,
superintendent and manager of the
property owned by the National Cop
per Mining company-who was Doug
las visitor last week, says they have re-
Gently installed new whim with track
and ore car, and are now erecting a
shaft house, 26x50 feet, with hosting

bles and other buildings already avail
able, will place them in position to
prosecute development work rapidly
and economically. The Three Cripples
has shown rich ore almost from the
grass roots, and it has improved with
every foot Of depth attained The pres
ent output not only carries fully one
per cent of nickle, but good values in
both copper and gold. This property
has been examined by several mining
experts during the past summer, every
one of whom has pronounced it most
promising prospect which gives every
evidence of developing into valuable
mine. Of these, MIR. Maxwell, the new
York expert, made report in which he
says:
las the depth attained is only about seven
ty-tive feet the present showing is remark,
ably good-tbe sulphides of copper appearing
in abundance and demonstrating, in my op
inion that only depth is required to secure
high and permanent values. The property
in my opinion is first class and should be
quickly developed-every indication pointing
successful issue.'
