Do Such Profits Appeal
To You?

What. then, is the net result? What is
the situation with reference to the California
oil investments today? Merely this: 1t is
possible to buy ABSOLUTELY PROVEN OIL
PROPERTY, about the value of which there
can be no doubt, at price that will permit
of the necessary drilling expenditure, and pay
a profit of from so per cent to 200 per cent
per year upon the investment for many,
many years to come. An investment which
at the end of twelve months begins paying
dividends of so to 200 per cent per year en-
hances in value during that time from 300
per cent to 1000 per cent. Such records,
many of them, have been, are being, and
will be made in California oil. DO SUCH
PROFITS APPEAL TO YOU?
An investigation covering several months
time, during which have gone into the
matter very thoroughly, has disclosed to US
the facts as above set out If you will take
the time to make similar investigation you
will find them out for yourself. We want
you to thoroughly consider these facts, and
you cannot then fail to appreciate the i'm
mense opportunities of California oil. 1t
upon these facts that we base our declara-
ton that THE GREATEST INVESTMENT
OPPORTUNITIES OF THIS GENERATION
ARE FOUND TO-DAY IN CALIFORNIA
OIL"
And the best buy in California oil that we
know of today is the stock of the California
National Crude Oil Company at so cents

matter Of fact, only about 200 of the
peers take active part in legislation

"The cure for admiring the house of
lords Is to go and look at II at work"
remarked a French critic of British
institutions who wrote with a rapier.

much. 1t usually meets after the 4
o'clock tea and adjourns at o'clock

bill three or four years ago to reduce
the number of lords eligible to sit in
the house and to elect the sitters.
According to the preponderant
weight of traditional belief, II is i'm
possible for anybody to wipe out the
house of lords except that body itself,
and that the lords themselves ever will
consent to the wiping out process is
not to be believed by any person who
is grounded In the elementary under
standing of human nature.
The lords claim that their body Is
hereditarily eternal inasmuch as their
predecessors, the barons, wrested the
Magma Charta from King John, and
that they are the fountainhead of con-
stitutional liberty and the vanguard of
the empires progress.

Rosebery Program Adopted.
Thus was adopted the third and last
of the resolutions introduced by Lord
Rosebery, former premier and liberal
leader, in furtherance Of his program
for the reformation of the chamber.
Possession Of a peerage has carried

through written law, but by virtue OF
hereditary custom, the privilege of be-

brief interval when the house of lords
was abolished by oliver Cromwell
they have continued to serve as legis-
lators. Such service had come to be
regarded as a hereditary right.

servatlve measures, so their discussion
of public questions is not highly inter-
esting.
In the fiction written for the con-
sumption of the kitchen maid and the
Laura Jean Libbeyized reader in gem

the 'lordly bearing" of the Earl of

for you should go to the party's po-
litical platform"
That platform, on which Eugene
Victor Debs of Terre Haute. Ind, has
made three campaigns for the presi-
dency of the United States, embodies
these general demands: Immediate
government relief for unemployed
workers by building schools, reforest-
ing of cut over or waste lands, reclama-
tion OF arid tracts, building of canals
and Extending all other useful public
works." collective ownership Of rail-
roads, teiegraphs, telephones. steam
ship lines and all other means of So
cial transportation and communication
and all land: collective ownership of
all industries which are organized on
a national scale and in which competi-
ton has virtually ceased to exist: ex-
tension of the public domain to in
clude mines, quarries, oil wells. forests
and water power; scientific reforesta-
ton OF timber lands and reclamation
of swamp lands, such lands to be per-
manently retained as a part of the pub
lio domain; absolute freedom of press,
speech and assemblage. The indus
trial demands include shortening OF
the workday, more effective inspection
of workshops and factories. forbidding
employment of children under sixteen
years of aga, abolishing Official charity
and substituting compulsory insurance
against unemployment, illness. acci-
dents, invalidism, old age and death.
The political demands are for extern
sion of inheritance taxes. a graduated
income tax. the Initiative and referen-
dunn with power OF recall; abolition OF
the United States senate: creation OF
department of education, a depart
ment OF public health and a depart
ment of. labor separated from the
present department OF commerce and
labor; abolition OF the power usurped
by the supreme court of the United
States to pass upon the constitution
ality of legislation passed by con-
gress;" election of all judges by the
people for short terms.
The foregoing are the main features
of the Socialist party's platform for
1908, which concludes with this avow-
al: "Suoh measures of relief as we
may be able to force from capitalism
are but a preparation OF the workers
to seize the whole powers of govern
ment,. In order that they may thereby
lay hold OF the whole system of in
dustry and thus come to their rightful
inheritance" (
Upon this platform Mr.. Debs received
in 1908 a vote OF 420.79s In 1904 he
received 4O2,Si+ votes, and in 1900 ST.
s14. The presidential candidate of the
United Labor party In 1888. the fore
runner of the present Socialist party,
received 2, sos votes. These figures in
dlcate the growth of partisan socialism
In twenty years, The Socialists, how
ever, declare that there are approxi-
mately 100000 voters who uphold
their theories in the main.

him that some persons are having
trouble In fixing upon an exact defini-
tion of socialism, replied; "I'n tell YOU

cilable enemy Of the existing civic and
