campaign was distributed far and
near.
At the direction of the Republican
national committee last summer, this
young Kansas member of congress
spent several weeks in the New Eng
land campaigns, to the delight of those
who heard him. The New England
committees declared his campaigning
to have been the most pleasing and
effective of any outsiders who had
participated in their contests.
The vast oil industry of Kansas has
grown up within the past four years.
The field and the output have grown
until the annual production is now
estimated at six million barrels OF
crude oil. Kansas has been ready
with the capital to foster this added
also assisted in the development of the
section. The Standard Oil company in
the beginning lent its hand to the up
building of the industry; but it soon
began to withhold it. Discrimination
after discrimination on the part of the
vast corporation was alleged; and
prices went down and down. In de-
spair the men whose labor and capital
and good efforts were invested in the
field sought to get at the seat of the
discrimination and to remedy the
situation. Nothing availed them, they
declared and finally, in sheer despera-
ton, the somewhat socialistic and
against-publfc-policy relief was sought
by asking for a state refinery. The
Kansas legislature has only recently
passed the state refinery bill; and with
it measures calculated to render it i'm
possible by law for the Standard to
discriminate against the state by un-
derselling it; to make the Standard
pipe line a common carrier, and to
fix maximum charges for the trans
portation of crude oil.
Mr.. Campbell lived next door to this
section. The oil industry was the most
important in his congressional district
He did not believe in the idea of the
state of Kansas entering the refining
business; he believed it to be futile.
and industry and effort misdirected;
but he desired to help the desperate
oil producers in his section He gave
great care and study to the matter,
and evolved his resolution.
Representative Campbell firmly be-
ieves in the efficacy of the investiga-
lion which the government has under
aiken as a result of his resolution. He
believes criminal proceedings against
he Standard Oil will eventuate; and
he thinks he sees relief and light
ahead for the sorely distressed and
aarassed Kansas oil producer.

PENNA. RAILROAD is
RAISING TREES FOR TIES

The Pennsylvania railroad has a
small army of agriculturists at work
planting trees on the various tracts
of land which the company is con-
vertin2 into forests. 1t is the inten-
tion to put in about 100000 trees
each year. This year 200 600 trees
were planted.
Tho company has been planting
trees since 1902. SO far there has
been planted 477,295 trees. The
places where the forests are to be
are az Vineyard, Quarryville, Pom
eroy, Atglen. Vintage, Yeaman, Kin
yer, Salunga, Middletown of the
Philadelphia division, Newton, New
port, Hamilton and Eyre of the mid
die division.
The annual consumption. of ties
on the Pennsylvania system east of
Pittsburg and Erie, FOR repairs only,
is about 5000, 900, the latter being
about the average quantity used
every year for repairs in the past ten
years. To this should be added
100000 used annually for new work.
AT the present rate of consumption
the available supply of the present
timber used, especially white oak
and yellow pine, will be depleted to
a serious degree before many years,
and that the time Is % ripe for the
railroads to consider the question Of
what course they are to pursue ~
the future.

FRANCHISE B GARD
HAS BEEN ACTIVE.
Appointed by the Governor Last
Summer Members Have Been
Busy Investigating.

TRENTON, Nov. 24:-It is inter-
esting to know hat the franchise
commission, appointed by Governor
Stokes late last summer, has really
been doing something. 1t must
have worked with a shrinking desire
to avoid publicity, for there have
been no announcements of any meet
ings, or that the commission had
even organized, beyond the election
of Ex-Governor Foster NJ. Voorhees,
as chairman. Mr.. Voorhees, would
be chairman, even though there had
been no meeting, because as the first
man named on the commission he
was entitled to the position. 1t was
supposed that the commission had
been waiting to see what the election
would show regarding the franchise
question and how the people felt on
the subject.
But something must have been
done. John G.. Payne, of Jersey
City, so long secretary of the State
Riparian Board, is the authority for
the statement. He Is a member of
the franchise commission, and says
that body has communicated with
every secretary of state in the Unit
Gu OtdleS, WIFI HuLltlOuo HlldilNidl
Institutions and with the corpora
tons themselves. Mr.. Payne does
not say who did the communicating.
There has been nothing made public
indicating hal a secretary had been
appointed by the commission. Per-
haps it has gone ahead without any
regular secretary, each commission
err taking a certain territory and
writing the letters and receiving the
replies. 1t must have been quite a
task 10 get in touch with the proper
officials in all the states.
Mr.. Payne also adds TO his state
ment that the commission will re-
port TO the governor in the mex SEES
sion of the legislature. He does
not say at what stage of the session
the report will be submitted, but it
is fair to suppose that it will not be
until the commissioners have ascer-
tanned what the sentiment of the
Solons on the subject seems to be.
There is Il very wide latitude in
volved and plenty of chances will be
offered for changes in the report be-
fore il is finally presented.

Planned to Kill the Sister An

light an ingenious and carefully con

who murdered Harry Britton and tried
to murder Frank Britton, Subsequent
ly himself committing suicide, had
planned to take the life of their pref

he was infatuated.
On the steps leading to the rear of

there was found a pasteboard box, TO

The police are confident that the in

Jones for the purpose of numbering his

placed c~onspicuously on the doorsteps,
but for some unaccountable reason
none had seen it lying there until after
