aspirations. History shows how close we
have been in the past, end II the politics
Of nations know how TO second the natural

the role Of world arbiter, as in the Russo

AS the United States leans to one side
or the other so will the world lean. France
occupies an analogous place for Europe,
for France, like the United States, can give
a deciding vote and her politics are the
politics OF equilibrium. The two nations.
therefore, are united by destiny, with q
common mission and have a mutual duty

DlSLOYAL.

Los Angeles. Cal, Jan. 3l.-Despite
the absence of any official statement
to the effect, it is generally accepted
that Bert II. Franklin, the former chief
of detectives for the Mcnamara de-
tense, now facing trial on the charge
of jury bribing, will be the principal
witness for the state in the prosecu.
ton of the case against Clarence S.
barrow for similar alleged offenses.
To offset his testimony, it is under
stood that the barrow defense will en-
deavor to prove that Franklin is ac-
tually in the employ OF William j.
Burns. at least was in the service OF
the state while employed as confiden-

BUT THEY GO TO WORK.
Arsenal Workmen Object to Taylor
System, but Stick to Jobs.


Davenport, Ia, Feb. despite the
fact that committee of thirty-three
men representing the union employees
of the Rock Island arsenal last night
delivered an ultimatum that they
could not work under the proposed
Taylor system, there was no indica-
ton of any break in the ranks this
morning. All of the operatives re.
sumed their places as if nothing had
happened.
The conference with Col. George w.
Burr, the commandant of the arsenal,
resulted in no understanding. The IN
ion committeeman stated that they
had been instructed by their organiza-
ton to say they would not work under
the Taylor or any other system of
shop management. They asked Col.
Burr to delay the installation of shop
cards, to which they object, until the
congressional committee investigation
should be reported He declined to
! do this. The commandant was asked
for an assurance that if the cards were
installed no further steps would be
taken to place the arsenal under the
Taylor system. to which he replied
that he had no authority to make such
promise. He said the use of the
cards would be begun within the next
! two or three months.

PRICE OF OIL
GOING HIGHER
PUBLIC PAYS MORE AND MORE
SINCE TRUST DISSOLUTION.
AUTOMOBILE OWNERS HARD HIT
It Is Estimated that the Increased
Prices Mean an Increased Cost Of
s2oo,oo a Month in New York-The
Reason Given by Oil Trust.

New York, Feb. Prices OF oil
have been going up steadily since the
dissolution of the oil trust by the de-
cree of the United States supreme
court, and representative of the
Standard Oil company said today that
they probably would go higher.
Three times this year the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey has ad-
vanced the price for crude oil. and
creases in the wholesale and retail
quotations for kerosene, gasoline and
others of the refined products.
Hard on Auto Owners.
Gasoline has risen cents a gallon
in New York markets. Automobile
dealers estimate the advance means
an increase of more than 100000 a
month in the cost of running the au
tomobiles in New York state
Since the first of the year there has
been an advance of . cents gallon
in the price established by the Stand
ard Oil company for petroleum deliv-
cred by wagon to consumers in this
CITY. NOl OILY Ill I'VE" 1Oih, buI else
where throughout the country, have
prices been raised.
The increased cost Of conducting the
thirty-three companies into which the
oil trust was divided, as compared
with the expenses of the compact or
ganizaton under the old regime, has
been advanced as reason for the
raise in prices.
Shortage the Cause. -.
According to ]. |. c. Clarke, the
mouthpiece of the Standard Oil com
pany, this theory is not correct. Mr..
Clarke said that the higher prices
were due to economic conditions. The
Pennsylvania fields, he said, supply
the best crude oil, and as the output of
that product recently had been insult
ficient, the price of Pennsylvania oil
has been advanced to stimulate pro,
duction.
Mr.. Clarke said the quotation would
| be raised until it reached a point
which restored the production in the
Pennsylvania field to the required ba
sis.
