Don't Approve of War.

A correspondent of the London Times
says that the officially organized lectures
10 the Industrial workers and harbor la
borers of South Russia have failed COM
pletely to rally them to the support of
the present war. Openly in the work
shops and on the quays the conduct of
the war is criticised unsparingly, and the
great bulk of south Russian %reservists
dread the day when they will be sent
TO the front to fight in a conflict which
they never approved, and from which
they expect neither national nor per-
sonal profit. AS for the large Jewish
element in the south, they are positively
solid against the war, in spite of state
ments to the contrary. Their trade has
already been partly ruined. Their
credit has been diminished abroad by
the assaults which have been made upon
them. Establishment after establish
ment has been driven into liquidation.
Others are tottering. Industry, too, is
suffering most keenly. Scores of large
and hundreds of smaller industrial con-
Germs are struggling along on half time.
Tens of thousands of workmen are idle,
and the number of men out of work daily
Increases. Prices of many very neces-
sary foodstuffs have risen, and the small
shops refuse to retail even a pound of
bread save on cash terms. The outlay
of various public works has been cur
tailed heavily by the authorities, acting
On instructions received from the Rus
sion ministry Of finance. Everywhere,
says the writer, there is evidence of a
desire for "retrenchment," and the
workers in the long run are inevitably
heavy sufferers.

An Enjoyable Trip.

1t was our good pleasure to be
called to Sistersville Tuesday OF
last week. and we feel it our duty
to tell our readers how well we
are impressed by the people OF
the "sIickest" and most Clown
to-the-minute' town of it's size in
the great State Of West Virginia.
To be candid, expressive and
more or less elegant, we might
truthfully say: when you alight
from the train you are practically
walking on velvet. The way the
good people treat YOU, would lead
an ordinary oil town man to sup
pose that each and every business
man you met had just struck it
rich in the oil fields near BY. The
millionaire oil producer says
s'good morning" with the same
delightful courtesy that marks
the glad hand of her most humble
citizen. Our first stop was at the
Phoenix restaurant, where we
met Mr. Russell, business mana
ger of the Oil Review: we sat
down and ate our breakfast with
him, which. it is needless to say
was a good one: we then and
there found out that our none!
was no good. Mr.. Russell had
done the elegant. Dust think OF
a fy-blow editor getting two
breakfasts in one morning.) Well

their parents in this city.
Mr.. Roberts represented the
delegate district composed of Ty-
ler and Wetzel counties in the
Legislature of 1900 and 1901.
During his term he made a hard
fight for two delegates to be
elected from this county, and won
his fight, so we are under obi
cations to him for having, as we
now do. have, two delegates from
this county in the lower house OF
the State Legislature. AS a del
egate he was a hard worker, and
allowed nothing TO pass the
house but what would help Tyler
county.
He is a member of the Sena-
torial and Legislature committees,
has always been an active and
hard working party man, and has
never held any office but the one
above mentioned. He carried the
delegates district by majority OF
249. but the same district the cleo
ton prior to Roberts went for
Rine. a Democrat, by a majority
of 800, which goes to show ne IS
a very popular man.
MIR. Roberts has been very sue
cessful as general merchant, and
is pleasant and agreeable to meet.
IF he is nominated he can poll his

full party vote, and asks his
friends to support him, promising
them if he is elected he will dis,
charge the duties of Ills office fair,
ly, honestly and impartially.
With this notice appears very
good picture of Mr.. Roberts. He
is a young man, very atfable
broad minded, well educated, and
will no doubt make popular
Sheriff. He asks the Oil Review
readers to not pledge their sup
port to any other candidate unit
he can see them and present his
claims to their support.
