Editor Oil Review:
Dear SRA great deal of talk
is going the rounds as to how the
oil men will vote this fall. 1t is
an indisputable fact that 900 of
the oil men are Republicans at
heart. Notwithstanding this fact
Wheeling newspaper less than
two weeks ago stated that 1919 of
the oil men were Democrats.
However, that is as near as the
old lady gets to tell the truth.
The oil men are Republicans, but
they never will support a candi-
date who stole his nomination
like Dawson did when he had the
Committee on Credentials dis
pensed with, and again, why does
he expect this supports Hasn't
he accused them of being carpet
baggers and tax dodgers? And
what recognition has the Republi-
can party of West Virginia given
the oil menu Not as much as an
assistant page at the regular and
special session of the Legislature.
Notwithstanding the fact the ne
gro doesn't have one-half the
number of votes that the oil men
have the negroes have been rec
ognized. One of their color, Christ
Payne. is a United States consul.
Philip Waters and a number OF
other negroes hold State positions
but the oil men don't even hold
an honorary commission. The Re-
publican party of West Virginia
holds the negro superior to the
white intelligent oil men. Why
has the negro received recOgni-
ton and the oil men none? Are
the white oil men inferior to the
negro? The oil men will help
defeat the White-DawsOn ring as
they did the Delameter ring in
Pennsylvania in 1890, when Geo.
Delameter stole his nomination
for Governor on the Republican
ticket similar to the Dawson
method and was defeated in the
strongest and largest Republican
State in the Union by Robert f.
Pattison. Democrat, and that is
what is going to happen in this
State this fall. John j. COrnwell
will be elected over Dawson by
10000 majority.
I am a Republican, but not of
the Dawson stripe.

that in condemning President
Roosevelt he condemns President
Cleveland. He will be asked if,
when he revokes the Roosevelt
order, he will also revoke the
Cleveland order. But no question
ing or quibbling can disturb the
solidity of his position. Two
wrongs do not make a right. The
almost universal opinion is that
both of those orders were en-
croachments by the Executive
upon the legislative domain, and
that an act of Congress, the
course Judge Parker suggests, is
not merely the better, but the
only lawful way of granting pen
sions. In the event of Judge
Parker's election, he will, in all
probability, be consistent in re-
voking pension orders, and the
little one promulgated by a DEM
ocratic President will meet the
fate of the big one fathered by
President Roosevelt.
On imperialism, economy in ad-
ministration and honesty in the
public service Judge Parker
speaks in manner that leaves
nothing to be desired on the
score of frankness. On the ques-
ton of trusts, and referring to a
remark by Mr.. Roosevelt relative
to the common law, he reminds
all whom it may concern that
questions touching the applica-
ton of common law are not for
the President or Congress to de-
eide, but for the judiciary. And
he shows that the United States
Supreme court has decided that
common law principles can be ap-
piled in United States courts in
cases involving interstate CON-
merce; if there are no United
States statutes specifically cover
ing the case.
Many other topics are treated
in the letter, and all of them
without prolixity or a parade of
platitudes. 1t seems worthy OF
notice that in the letter, as in the
speech of acceptance, the candi-
date makes mention of the fact
that, even should he be elected
and come in with Democratic
House, the Senate will remain in
Republican control till the end OF
his term. But the hope he eX-
presses Of tariff revision, by the
aid of the Republican Senate,
seems to have no substantial ba-
sis. 1t is true, as he says, that
there are some Republican Sena-
tors who are revisionists, but the
prospect of agreement on a tariff
bill between a House elected on
a platform that defines protection
as robbery" and a Senate which
has a large protection majority is
not very alluring.

u.----------
There is still some spearing
around for an extension to the
Wick and Hebron pools. In the
last-named the Carter Oil COM
: pany's test has met with a sur
prise at it's test on the H ID. Ow-
ems farm. Nothing was found
when it was drilled through the
upper formation, but when drill
ed into the Big Lime it found a
pay and is estimated to be good
for 200 barrels a day from that
level. However, it will be drilled
through the Big Injun and if
nothing better is encountered it
will be tested in the Big Lime.
On the Ohio side there is a
creditable amount of experiment
tai work starting in several dis
tricts. Near Jerusalem, in Mon
roe and Belmont counties, a few
wells in advance Of the old de-
velopments are starting and
drilling. The Rock Bottom Oil
company is down 800 feet at a
test on the S H. Mann heirs
farm. The Carter Oil company
is drilling at 900 feet at a test
on the A. Gibbons farm, and W.
F. Borchers & company have
started to drill a test on the
/ Stonebreaker farm.
In the Rays Run district there
is some new work starting in adj
vance of developments. Tibbens
G. Wilmington are down 400 feet
at test on the Frank Lee farm.
The Associated Producers COM
pany is drilling at 1900 feet at a
test on the John Heckathorn
farm. The same company mas
the rig completed for a test on
the John Lance farm.
Henning & Ewing are down
800 feet at a test on the E. Miller
farm. The American Drilling
Tool company is due in the sand
at a test on the J. Miller farm.
Irwin & Terrell are drilling at
1000 feet at a test on the [. w.
Hall farm and D. A. Dye &
company have the rig completed
for a test on the NJ. G. Livingston
farm.
On the Ohio side in the Rays
Run district, in Washington coun-
ty, the Associated Producers com.
pany has drilled it's test on the j.
Heckathorn farm through the Big
Iniun and found that formation
barren. 1t is now drilling to the
Berea grit.
Near Newport, in the same
county, the Monroe Oil company
has completed its second test on
the Carpenter farm and has a
show for a very light pumper in
the Cow Run sand.
In the same district, across the

PARKER'S LETTER.

cuuSe dIhol lOII0i VI dN|0P'-
ance, while not lacking in any ell
ement of the decorous dignity be-
fitting his position, possesses all
the qualities that should charac-
terize an address calculated to
whet the zeal and inspire the en-
ergies of his political brethren.
1t is positive, direct, candid, and
courageous. 1t has been asserted
by the opposition that his accept
ance speech was lacking in these
respects; that it resembles a judi
cial deliverance, a decision, or
dissenting opinion from the
bench, too closely to serve as a
campaign rallying call. But they
will make no such criticism on
this effort. 1t will put some ami
nation and vigor into this hith-
erto incomparably dull cam
paign by enthusing the Democ-
racy not less than by challenging
the Republicans to fresh assaults
on the Democratic lines. No de-
liverance that has marked the
progress of the canvass has COM
handed more prompt and inter-
ested attention than will be ac-
corded to this virile letter, and if
activity does not displace indif-
ference, if excitement does not
supplant the unusual calmness
of the scene, no part OF the re-
sponsibility will be chargable to
the Democratic candidate.
The feature of the document
that will probably play the most
conspicuous part is its discussion
of the tariff. In this Judge Park
er occupies the grounds to make
war on the abuses of protection,
and make no declaration against
protection itself. That is the pol
icy which Judge Parker has
adopted. He arraigns the Re-
publican leaders for their sharp
practice in using reciprocity to
put the schedules too high, and
then, in compliance with the de-
mands of over-protected inter-
ests, leaving the too high sched-
ules untouched. He quotes Nc
Kinley's pleas for reciprocity and
concurs therein, ignoring the fact
that the Democrats, in 1894, an
nulled all the reciprocity treaties.
He, like his running mate. Sen
ator Davis, is for incidental pro-
lection, and he contends that in
cidental protection is Democratic
doctrine, That claim will be
sharply cha,e nged. Democratic
platform declarations favoring "a
tariff for revenue only will be
cited as inconsistent with any
kind of protection, and he will be
reminded that the convention
which nominated him declared:
"Protection is robbery" Never
theless. Judge Parker'S remarks
on this subject are "mighty in
teresting reading
Pension order No. Is calls out
the most incisive and courageous
utterances in the letter. Judge
Parker regards that act as Exec
utive usurpation. and does not
shrink from characterizing it as
such. Accepting what he re-
CARDS as challenge by Mr..
Roosevelt, he declares that, if
elected he will revoke that order
and follow that revocation with a
recommendation to Congress to
enact a service-pension lava
law granting pension to all the
surviving heroes of our great
war. This declaration will elicit
