COMMISSIONER
GETS A BUMP
RECKLESS DRIVER OF AUTO
GIVES POLICE COMMISSIONER
A REMINDER.

Police Commissioner John Owen
was peeved, and Police Commission
er John Owen had a right to be
peeved Friday afternoon when an
automobile driven by reckless driv-
er collided with his buggy and came
near putting it out of commission.
Several days ago the commissioner
published a statement that the reck-
less driving of automobiles in the
city had to cease, and after his ex-
perience of friday afternoon it is
practically certain that this law will
be enforced in the future.
Shortly after the accident to Com
missioner Owens buggy, he learned
that this same machine came near
running down a little girl near the
junction of Main and Washington
streets and then he did roar. He
stated that he would Immediately call
on his party and tell him not to ap-
pear on the streets of the city again
in charge of an automobile.

refining" in 1904 to be one hundred
and seventy-five million dollars.
What is the value of the mineral oil
exported? The bureau of statistics
shows that the total value OF the
mineral oil exported in 1901 was
eighty million dollars, and in 1908
was one hundred and nine million,
of which seventy-siX million was ilIu-
minating oil; nineteen million lubri-
eating oil; four and One-half million
naphthas, and other lighter products
of distillation; six and one-half mil
lion dollars crude oil and about three
million dollars residium. In 1909 and
1910 the value of the exports was
slightly less than in 1908, due chief
ly to a fall in export prices, though
the quantity also showed a slight
decrease in 1910 when compared
with 1908.
What becomes of this billion and
a half gallons of our petroleum pass

"Bleedinq Kansas"

Coryphees and burlesque bellies will

a proposed new law is passed by the
legislature. According to the word
ing of the statute, it shall be illegal
for any feminine performer to appear
on any stage within the state of Kan
sas wearing skirt or similar gar
ment that falls less than four inches
below the patella. News Item.
Up in Bleeding Kansas they have
introduced a bill,
In their state legislature that will alb
solutely kill,

night in all of their theaters
Make FRITZ Scheff and other stars
appear as second raters,
The skirts must be inspected by an
officer and he,
Must see that all the garments worn
shall reach below the "Patella."
Now we've been used for quite a
while in Kansas so to speak,
AS being designated as a breeding
ground of freaks,
De don't mind that so very much,
but we must now protest,
Don't add "Patella" to us; we will
stand for all the rest.

AMERICAN PETROLEUM is USED
IN ONE HUNDRED FOREIGN
COUNTRIES AND COLONIES.
BILLION GALLONS EXPORTED
United States Now Produces Two
thirds Of the Worlds Supply Of
Petroleum, Says Report Of Bureau
Of Statistics.

The United States lights the world.
In one hundred countries, colonies
and islands, scattered in every grand
division and in every climatic sec
ton of the world, American kerosene
supplies light, while in more than
eighty countries the products OF
our mineral oils are used in gener-
ating power or for fabrication OF
machinery there in operation. About
one billion gallons of American ker-
osene pass out of the country an
nually, to be used chiefly in lighting
homes and places of business, and
the value of all classes of mineral
oil sent out of the country approx
imates one hundred million dollars
, a year.
The United States now produces
two-thirds of the worlds supply OF
petroleum, the quantity produced in
the year Just ended having been,
according to a statement recently is
sued by the geological survey over
| two hundred million barrels of crude
oil, or more than eight billion gal
Ions. Just what quantity of refined
oil was produced from this more
than eight billion gallons of crude
oil produced in 1910 cannot now be
stated, but the bureau of statistics
of the department of commerce and
labor shows exports of practically a
billion gallons year of the refined
Illuminating oil, and approximately
one and one-half billion gallons OF
oil of all classes, including in this
term Illuminating oil lubricating oil,
naphthas, and certain quantities in
the crude or unrefined state.
What is the value OF this more
than eight billion gallons of mineral
oil produced in the United States
last year? Probably one hundred
and seventy-five million dollars, al
though this is necessarily an esti-
mate. What is the value of the fin
ished article, the Illuminating oil,
the naphthas, the gasoline, the lu-
bricating oil. the paraffin and other
grades manufactured from this raw
product? This can only be estimated.
though the census of 1905 shows the
value of the products of petroleum

If you don't think this is going
some, put down a colmun of five fig
ures wide and twenty figures deep
and try your speed on adding.
Quite a number of students have

family firesides, and do not longer in
suit generous foe by Haunting 1t in
their faces.
1 detract nothing from the individual
valor Of the men who fought under the
Stars and Bars, no one can do so and
speak the truth: all were Americans
and the record of great battles attest
to the valor of the soldiers North and
South. Brave men make mistakes, be-
cause men make mistakes does not
signify that they are towards, does
not mean that they are to be despised,
but the men who make a mistake do not
deserve the same credit as those who
did not; neither do the men who plot
ted and fought to destroy the Govern
ment, deserve equal honor with the
men who prayed and fought to pre-
serve 1t.
I appeal to your better Judgment, to
your better natures, to take your Stars
and Bars and your statues back to
your Southland, to your Southern
homes, and by your family firesides,
and do not expect the loyal people of
this country to bow before your broken
shrfnes-they will never do So
There should be no Northern, no
Southern, no Eastern, no Western
standard of loyalty but, as Americans
all We should stand shoulder to shoul-
der, and make the union of hearts and
home as perfect as the Union of States,
and love our common country and its
flag, second only to our Maker.
