relative to the January exports of
petroleum:
January Petroleum Exports"
The year 1902 closed with fall.
Ing of of over four and a half mil
lion dollars value In our exports of
petroleum and Its products, but the
decline was made good by the In.
crease In the domestic demand
This has been the greatest factor In
sustaining the market during the
past year. With an increasing do
nestle consumption and decreas-
ing yield of high grade petroleum,
the foreign market for Illuminating
oils becomes of smaller importance
than 1t was year or two ago"
The statement IS significant to
say the least. For long time the
export market has been made the
basis for fixing "prlces justified In
the markets of the world" for credit
balances. The method Is the
rankest kind of a farce. Mere
chalk marks on black board rep
resents all there Is to the export
market as In reality there IS little
or no oil sold for export
at the blackboard quotations.
The export quotation Is
made more to hoodwink and befog
the producers than for fixing sell
Ing value tor that product. The
Review has contended that the ex-
port market was a farce and tina,
the domestic markets will consume
all or nearly all the oil produced
and now the editor of the Derrick
seems to have made the same dis
covery.
In domestic markets all products
of petroleum are commanding such
high prices as to bring enormous
dividends to the Standard Oil COM
pany and fabulous profits to the
outside refuers.
The producer who supplies the
crude oil to these concerns Is not In
the game at all. He plods along at
any old price fixed for credit bal.
ances, wears himself and his sup
plies to pieces, and works uuceas'
ingly to benefit the Standard and a
few outside refuers. 1t Is quite
evident that stocks of high grade
oil are too low to permit of In
creased consumption the daily

that OH producers will continue 10

pueLlc LEcruRE COURSE,

are delivered in simple and non-techni-
cal language. and please while they in
struct. There is no longer doubt as
TO the popularity OF these courses. New
York tried il, and has extended IL from
year to year in response TO the in
creased demand. The people attend
and listen eagerly. and there is no
doubt that great benefit is derived from
the time thus employed. Last year
nearly 100000 persons attended these
lectures in Greater New York and ar
rangements have been made Tor lecture
courses in every borough.
Why should not Wilmington try Il?
The expense would not be great The
auditorium OF the High School would
be an excellent place for the work.
Doubtless many speakers would devote
an evening without compensation.
There are many topics that pertain to
health and sanitation that could be
made interesting and prove very ad-
vantageous TO the people OF this COM
munity.

How to Get Rich.

From the New York News.
The recent appearance at his boy
hood home Of stephen p. Roafh, an
eccentric millionaire. has drawn the
eyes Of the world TO the pretty town
Of Norwich. Conn Just az the head Of
navigation on the Thames River. TO
the place where he was born and where
most Of his relatives stil live. he sud-
denly returns laden with wealth, which
he proceeds 10 share in lavish style

What seems Of particular interest I'm
the incident is not In the fact OF his
wealth or the manner in which he uses
a., but the methods he had adopted in
acquiring 50 vast a fortune, for he had
millions left despite his generosity. Mr..
Roath says that all that is necessary
for any young man TO secu.a a compe-
tency is that he shall work hard, spend
little. save much, and invest I'm some-
thing folks viii eat"
This simple advice is given by a
second David Harum. Roath began as
grocer's clerk al $6 n month, but he
saved half his meager wages. He went
10 Chicago I'm 1855. when that town was
getting ready to grow. He spread his
sails to the favoring breeze. and with
the counsel and aid OF such men as
Armour and Letter and Nelson Nor
RS he has rcaped his reward.
But during all these years-he Is now
seventy -four-Roath has never forgot
ten for a moment the Importance OF

IS important no. because It was not
a necessary conclusion. but because 1t
emphasizes a principle that just now
needs emphasis.
There are two sides to every con-
teniion Of this nature. Had Mr..
Wright declared that employers could
not discharge employees without their
consent and had the ruling been gem
orally accepted. It would have result
ed in Industrial chaos. We think that
such question should never be given
to any one 10 arbitrate. II It were set
teled that the employer could not dis
charge his employe. then 1t would fol-
low that the employe would not have
the right to quit without the permis-
sion Of his employer-wh.ch would
mean slavery.
To certain extent the employers
full rights have been abridged, since
in employing labor he is limited by
artificial restrictions, and. therefore. at
times he Is obliged to retain work
men that he had rather discharge. IT
is bad business 10 restrict the right Of
contract, and It is always to be re-
gretted when occasions arise when dis
Interested parties must be called in.
The ideal adjustment Of labor dinicul-
ties is that in which only the parties at
interest are represented. The work.
man must preserve the right TO work
when he chooses TO work and to quit
when he chooses 10 quit; but this car
