folding or volcanic outpouring. All
our positive knowledge is that the
earth is cooling. AS 1t cools, the
crust hardens and thickens, and 1t
may be that, when the crust be-
comes thick enough to prevent
further cracking and mountain
folding, and water can no longer
percolate through to the heated
interior, there will be no upheaval,
no folding of the earth's surface to
counterfeit the denudation con-
stantly going on over the surface.
To produce an upheaval there
must be heat and water. And II
water cannot sink through the
earth's crust to reach the interior
of the earth, then this volcanic ac-
ton will not take place.
This being so, the land surface
of the earth will gradually wear
away and be smoothed down, I'M
til it is more or less fiat plain
on level with the sea. The sea
would then slowly cover up the
land, which might sink to the
depth of hundred feet or so be-
low the level of the water, leav-
ing only a few isolated mountain
tops showing above water.

We have been threatened with
all sorts of catastrophes, ranging
from the entire submersion of the
land surface of the globe, owing to
the steady inroads of the sea,
down to the extinction of man
through lack of water.
The former theory is, I think
untenable. With regard to the 9th.
er, we are threatened with a much
more serious and more urgent dan
ger than lack of water, which, at
any rate, is not likely to occur for
many millions of years. This is
simply the danger brought on us
by overpopulation-not extinction
by thirst, but by hunger.

problem, which is a much more Sc

NORTHWESTERN
GObbLES
\. P.

The Press last week announced
that the North Coast road is in
reality a branch of the Chicago
Northwestern, in connection with
which the following railroad in
formation given from a reliable
source in Tacoma is of especial in.
terest.
The Tacoma report says that the
Chicago & Northwestern railway
has wrested the control of the
Northern Pacific from Jim Hill and
is coming to Tacoma.
For the last two years the state
ment has been persisted in that
the Northwestern was coming to
Tacoma and that it would be here
as soon as the Milwaukee, its
great rival. There has been much
speculation as to how it proposed
to- get here.
From the statements now being
discussed among the knowing
ones in railroad circles it appears
it does not have to build a new
line, but that 1t has gobbled the
N. p, with the help of the Nor
gan interests in the East, and is
going to land here over the N. P.
lines.
The situation probably explains
why Jim Hill fastened, while he
still had control Of the N. p, to
buy from it tidelands for his Great
Northern road for terminals in Ia
coma.
- AS the story comes now, the die
has been cast in the railroad situa-
ton and Hill has been dethroned
from his position of dominance in
the N. P. 1t is said Harry San
born, son of S. Sanborn, the for
mer general manager of the whole
Northwestern system, is coming
to Tacoma soon as general west
ern manager and that Manager H.
, c. Mutt will retire.
Information has been secured
indicating that the deal is a GER
tainty and that the Northwestern
will, before many moons, be in
full control of the N. P. and will
be putting her trains into
Tacoma.
Pres. Strahorn, of the North
Coast, was reported in Tacoma
last week negotiating for the sites
of the st. Paul mill, Wheeler &

The decision of the United
States circuit court of appeals
handed down by Judge Grosscup
in the Standard Oil case was a
foregone conclusion.
There was never any doubt in
regard to it,
The $29,000,000 fine has never
been anything but joke with the
Standard Oil crowd. Roosevelt's
announced determination to renew
the prosecution is but a continue
ton of the farce.

The government will not punish
Standard Oil, for the very good
reason that Standard Oil and its
allied interests absolutely control
the government in all its depart
ments.

contrary deceived only the ignor
ant masses. The fact that he was

Writes of the Danger of Gases
from a Colljdjnu Comet.

Writes Of the Danger of Gases
from a CoIIiding Comet.
Many persons have discussed the
possibility of the destruction of
the earth in a collision with some
comet-for instance some body
like the Daniels comet. 1t was
visible most of last summer.
AS a matter of fact the physical
contact-the blow from a comet
would not itself destroy the earth.
The point of meeting would prob
ably not be greater than c big
Texas county, and at that spot the
earth struck would possibly be
raised to an incandescent heat and
life thereabout destroyed.
But there is an awful danger to
be met with outside of a mere col
lision. The great danger of a comet
to the earth is in the fact that a
large hydrocarbon comet dashed to
earth would be raised to such heat
as to be vaporized.
The diffusion of the heavy noxi-
Gus gases would so vitiate the at
mOsphere as to render it unfit for
breathing. The result is evident.
Thus might the oceans and hui
man habitations escape unframed;
not even a man be killed by the
comet coming in contact with the
earth, yet with the deadly gases
drifting over the surface of the
earth, enveloping the whole world,
all breathing creatures would soon
be suffocated, silenced in death by
the choking bane of hydrocarbon
gas combinations flowing outward
and downward about the earth
from pole to equator from east to
west, ever sinking closer to earth

exposed capitalistic offender, on
the one hand and his condemna-
tion Of Meyer, Haywood and Petit
bone, innocent and untried work
ingmen, on the other hand.
The Grosscup decision, triumph,
iantly indicating Standard Oil, is
perfectly consistent with Standard
sOil government, and there is no
sground for complaint on the part
Iof those who, with their votes, sup
port that kind of government.
Capitalist courts must buttress
capitalist interests even to the ex-
tent of legalizing the kidnapping
land murder of labor leaders who
cannot be otherwise controlled.
The one redeeming feature of all
such decisions Is their awakening
effect upon the people. The Gross.
cup plea for capitalism in general
and Standard Oil in particular in
the law and justice will open the
eyes of thousands
Grosscup, Seamen, Baker and
their judicial associates are uncon-
sciously the grave diggers of capt.
talism. Each decision they render
against the people hastens the in.
evitable overthrow of the system
of private ownership of the means
of life.
Let the Grosscups proceed with
their Standard Oil decisions and
we will have socialism in our
time.
