The Whip vii Be Cracked.

II is evident the party whip is to
be cracked to an extent never before
witnessed in Congress. The request
for vote schedule by schedule will
probably be denied. The Democratic
House leaders will withhold selection
Of committees until they are assured
OF practically solid vote for the
bill. Last. but by no means least, the
administration will likely withhold
post office and other appointments
until the bill has been approved by
majority Of the House.
Many Democratic Representatives
make no secret OF their belief In the
principle Of Protection. especially
Protection for the owner of sheep.
The Louisiana and Colorado Demo-
Gratis make no secret OF their belief
In the principle Of Protection as ap-
piled to sugar.
But there will be a sacrifice OF
principle. sacrifice of platform
pledges. even sacrifice OF self respect,
and the Underwood bill will be pass
ed by the House as soon as a divided
leadership OF an unwieldy majority
can force the passage.-Johnstown

Bryan is in the Saddle.

A year ago Chairman Underwood
was strong enough TO pass = wool Dill
with a duty, against MIR. Bryan's de-
mand for free wool. The Commoner
said some harsh things of Mr.. Under
wood. They got into the debates oil
the House and a great majority OF
the Democrats and all the Republic
cans professed their admiration Tor
the Chairman as against the Peer
less Leader. But sixteen years in
the wilderness made the colonel pa
tient. He bibed his time. 1t came
at Baltimore when he put all his
enemies to rout. And again came the
opportunity when the Tariff Dill
was framed, Mr.. Underwood propos-
ed duty on wool as before. He la
bored with the President arguing
that the Democratic party having
placed a duty on wool in its Tariff
legislation of 1912 could not well re-
verse itself. Colonel Bryan also had
a conversation with the President.
The result was that Mr.. Underwood
accepted free wool. Is there any doubt
that Mr.. Bryan is in the saddle? IL
is surprising that the business men
of the country fear commercial de-
preston?
The wooden manufacturers are max
ing plans for making goods abroad.
John II. Stevenson, manager of the
Fulton mills of the American Woolen
Company, states that his company
will, in all probability, turn the wool
into yarn in England or Germany,
where it can do this work at AZ per
cent of the cost at Fulton. This
process is 20 per cent of the labor
in the industry. Under the proposed
schedules the company can import
the wool in the yarn state to ad-
vantage and complete manufacture in
this country at cost much lower
than the entire manufacture here

zene (C6 H6). Lately q machine has
been put on the market to convert
the gases from the oil we'll directly
into gasoline.
Regarding the formation Of oil a
number Of theories have been advanc-
ed but these may be classified under
two principal heads. namely, the
inorganic (or minerals) theories. sup
ported mainly by chemists. and the
organic vegetable and animaD theo-
ries which are supported by the ma
joritv Of geologists.
The inorganic theories consider
that steam coming In contact with
certain carbides generate gases which
by heat and pressure have been
liquified. The organic school con-
tends that these gases were general
ed by decaying vegetable and animal
life.
No doubt you have all seen bubbles
coming up out of swamp or from
leaves at the bottom of stagnant
pool. This Is generally marsh gas, or
methane whcih is also found in coal
mines and called by the miners "fire
damp" Methane is one of the prin-
cipal constituents of oil and natural
gas. Often around decaying sea plants
will be found oil, this being a paraf-
fine.
Oil is rarely found without gas and
salt water is likewise usually pres
ent. IL the containing rock stratum
Is horizontal the oil and gas are usu-
ally irregularly scattered, but II til
ed they appear to collect at the
highest point possible.

steps looking to a union of all the
elements of the party, in order to
present a solid front to the Demo-
cratic party. Among reforms which
have been suggested is presidential
preference primaries in all the states,
and representation based on the vote
cast, instead of upon representation
in Congress, as has heretofore been
the rule. We are heartily in favor
