pushing the work on the tank farm
t.ere very rapidly, and the plant
represents an active scene. A large
force OF men is engaged, though
many more could be used could they
be had, the labor situation not being
very much improve over that of two
months ago. At the close of last
week, four tanks were abont ready
for receiving the fluid, two more
were In course Of erection, and grades
made and in process of completion
for five more. Locations we're staked
out for several additional tanks, there
being room on it for thirty-eight
tanks, with a storage capacity of
something over one million barrels.
Work on the refinery is showing ac-
tivity equal TO that on the tank farm;
four of the new stills being placed,
foundation for the others about COM
pleted, new buildings for power. etc.,
are nearly finished, and the indlca-
tions for early completion of the
work very satisfactory. 1t will, how
ever, 6e probably sixty days before
the work will be sufficiently advanced
to be of practical benefit and relief to
the field.
The pipe line department is get
ting its work well advanced, the line
to Humhnidt being completed and
about ready for service: the six-inch
line to Thayer is laid; the line to the
Territory field is laid up to within a
stone throw of the Indian Territory
line, but at this point work Is stat
lonary. owing 10 the fact that for the
present no right OF way can be had
from the Government to lay the line
through the Indian lands, and until
this can be secured. shlpm snts from
Bartlesvllle will be made In tank
cars. The line is being extended to
the Independence and Peru fields and
these should be In position to receive
oil before the close Of the present
month.
1t is now, as stated, merely a ques-
tion as TO how rapidly facilities can
De provided for caring for the produc-
tion to show what the actual produc-
tion OF the field can be brought up to,
and present indications point to an
early solution OF this problem.

Protection.

The American idea Of protection
to home industries is finally forcing
itself upon the minds of the bright
est English statesmen and many OF
them are openly advocating pro-
tective policy for the mother coun-
try. Chief among them being Lord
Chamberlain who has resigned his
position in the British cabinet and
will go before the people with a
plea for the protection Of English
labor. If England will adopt a
general protective policy and adop,
more up-to- date business methods
and put in modern American ma
chinery and import few thousand
skilled American workmen, she may
hope, in time, to regain little oi
her lost prestige.

The English language seems to

but the gigantic strides of the
United States in commercial way

The field statement furnished by
the Prairie Oil & Gas Co., covering
the pipe line runs for the month of
August, anG which is to be found on
tnis page, shows the healthiest con-
dition which has vet existed in the
Kansas oil field, from a producers
standpoint. The showing made is
especially gratifying to the operators
in the Cbanute district, where the
runs are increased about 100 per cent,
Those for August amounting TO 81 1922
barrels. The Neodesha district shows
the next heaviest increase, giving EVIL
dence that the new production in that
field is turning out considerably
stronger than at any time in its pre-
yious hestory. Peru is also showing
much heavier than in former reports.
There is falling off in the runs from
Bartlesville, owing to insufficient
transportation facilities, the stocks
from that field being moved in tank
cars. Humboldt has not yet become
factor in the runs,t the pipe line just
having been completed to that terri
tory, but not yet opened up.
In the report made Of new work
there is no change over the figures
printed in the last issue of this paper,
and that statement is reprinted for
comparative purposes. The state
ment shows total of 10 wells com
pIeted and SO abandoned, leaving a net
of Ill wells to be placed in the pro-
ducing column. these wells showing
over 1000 barrels new production.
No statement is to be had at the
moment covering the stocks at wells
at the close OF the month and estima-
ted daily production OF the held,
other than the one referred to. pre-

Mr.. A. Fl. TURNER, Cbanute, Kans.,
Dear Sill:
Enclosed please find one dollar for
subscription price of CHANUTE ZINES
Permit me to compliment the splen-
did write up you gave Chanute in
your issue of Sept. llJh. Such pre-
sentation of facts concerning the
city, its people and the business op
portunities afforded by the OF! and
gas Developments cannot fail to ad-
ylace the interests of the whole com
munity. If II were to offer any criti-
ism ON your excellent paper, which l
have.now been reading for more than
year, it would be that you are over
modest ia presenting the unlimited
possibilities of Chanute with its sur
ruundings.
That your city will grow rapidly
and become a large center OF inland
trade is no idle dream OF a short sight
ed enthusiast. The possibilities are
there. The outcome will be what the
people have the courage and faith tC
make it. And the newspaper Is the
natural leader. l am pleased to note
your forward step. Let the horn con
tinue to blow.
Wishing you the greatest success
Very respectfully yours,

from one to fourteen years in the pen

The Nashville American says: "This
is a white mans country, but the
white man must be just" It is not
likely that the Caucasian masses will
even try to be, just so long as the
American and other Southern papers
are doing their best to create friction
by declaring that the Afro-American
is inferior, and that there must be a
separation, a difference, a distinction
along all lines solely on account Of

OF all the false statements put out
by Raymond Patterson of the Chicago
Tribune the statement that "for every
Afro American of intelligence and
character there are 100000 debased
men of the race" is the most gigantic
lie ever penned by man. At that rate
there are only 20 Afro-Americans of
character in the United States. The
statement is SO absurd that Tillman
would blush to make it,

SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1903.

If it were not so exasperating and
did not portend so much ill, it would
be really amusing to contemplate the
contortiOnS of the white people in
their efforts to solve the Negro
problem" They have nursed their
trouble and it has grown larger and
larger daily, until it has actually driv-
en- them crazy. They have suggested
many theories and tried, many ways
with equally unsatisfactory results.
The good book says there is but one
way to reach heaven and immortal
glory, and that is the right way. The
same rule will apply in the solution
of the 'vexed problem 2 There is a
right way to settle it, but the white
people, it seems, do not wish to settle
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1903-08-29

1t that way; and, as no matter is ever
settled, until it is settled right, the So
luton Of the problem seems to be a
long way off. 5z
If it will not be considered presump-
ton by our white brothers, we might
offer few suggestions. You see, one
of the main troubles in the matter is
that the white people, who are the
more dissatisfied ones, wish to settle
the whole thing on an entirely one
sided basis, that is, to suit themselves
Only. Now, we would suggest that
they apply one of their own time-hon-
ored rules: do unto others as you
would have others do unto you" us
conceded that right wrongs no mar"
and. whether it is, or is not conceded,
that the Afro-American is man, the
fact remains just the same. Every
black man that has come into this
world came in just the same way that
every white man did, and every one,
black or white, breathed the same sort
of air, drank the same sort of wa
ter, ate the same sorts of food and
clothed his body in the same way &C.
cording to his habitat. Then there
cannot be very much difference be-
tween one man and another, as man.
on general principles, except the vari
Gus shades of color or degrees OF intel
ligence, etc. Therefore we must con
tend that what is good or bad for one
man is good or bad for another man
If education is good for white man
it is lust as good for a black one. Ii
a black man ought to be lynched fol
raping white woman a white mar
ought to be lynched for raping black
one. eve, however, do not believe
that any man ought to be lynched fol
any reason whatever.) Lynching is
wrong in principle; and when resorteo
to to correct a wrong not only does
not correct the wrong but commits an
other, equally as bad if not some
times worse than the wrong which Is
the excuse for it. Some white people
consider all people who are not white
interiors. We would again ask such
to apply another of their rules: IDEAL
with your interiors as you would have
YOUR superiors deal with YOU" But
why expatiate? The whole thing IN
a nut shell is: Be color-blind IN all
YOUR dealings with your fellow men

We have read an article on the all
absorbing race question from the pen
of Mr. Raymond Patterson in which
he starts out with the first paragraph
as follows: apparently the only way
To prevent all danger of Negro doml-
nation in the South is to educate, edu-
cate, educate" He also says: i oe-
1ieve that an Investigation of socalled
cases of assaults upon women by Ne
groes will develop, in nine cases out
of ten, that the Negro guilty Of the
+orrih1e crime is almost invariably ig-
norant. I have yet to hear of an au-
thenticated case where a really edu-
Gated Negro who had been thrown in
to close contact with educated white
people, had been guilty of the new
and horrible crime with which the Ne
gro race is now so generally charged. -
Yet Dixon says: can educated Negro
is a monstrosity." There is only one
seventh of the population of this coun-
trv that is credited with being faint
ed" with Negro blood, yet this one
seventh is causing more trouble than
the six-sevenths 1t might be we'll to
remark, however, that all the trouble
originates with the six-sevenths, the
one-seventh is saving wood and say
ing nothing.

The "reaP' and "true" people seem to

great fault was not over-emphaslzed per-

may be-: however, certain circumstances
which explain the deed and modify the
bitter condemnation. !:
While not condOning ArnOld's treason,
Mr. Todd emphasizes his invaluable sery-!
that he four times saved the cause of the
Colonies: first at the battle Of Valcours
Island on Lake Champlain (the first naval
battle, by the way, in which our arms
were engaged), where, by his desperate
valor, he gave the. British such whole t,le.
they gave up their plan of invasion from
the north that year; second, by raising
the siege of Fort StanWix in the Mohawk
valley and putting to fight st. Legers

and third and fourth by winning the two

cisive battles of the world. ,# . 4
Mr. Todd also shows that 1T was the

of losing her should her reasonable cor,
