Reware of Oil Stock Its a Skin Game

The discovery OF oil in the Calgary
district in B. c. has led to organiza-
ton Of oil companies by the hundred.
The country is being fairly deluged
with oil stock. Newspapers are loaded
with advertisements of companies that
have gusher that is coming in every
day. The most alluring offers are
made and the hopes held out that the
investment of few dollars in oil stock
will make the lucky holder rich.
Wonderful stories are told how SER
want girl, bod carrier, poor clerk,
or some worthy widow was suddenly
made rich by the investment of only
few dollars.
Beware of oil stock. We have
grave doubts of the oil strike being
genuine. Even if it is those who are
on the ground with money, and there
are lot of sharks there now, will not
overlook anything that seems TO offer
prize investment. Outsiders, those
who work for Lying, stand just about
as much show of making anything out
OF oil stock as a sheep has for its life
in the hands OF butcher. Statistics
show that only about one in fifty Of
those who are on the inside, those who
know all about the game, ever make
anything in stock gambling. If you
have little money be contented with
six or seven per cent.

Roosevelt After the Democrats

Theodore Roosevelt generally gets
the best of his detractors. AS a con-
troversialist he has no superior this side
OF Abraham Lincoln. He manages to
come out on top Of his adversary in
every controversy he gets into. For
some time past democratic politicians
and newspapers have frequently taken
occasion to question the propriety of
Mr.. Roosevelt's conduct in acquiring
the canal zone for the United States,
and that he involved this country in
responsibilities when the Panama re-
public separated itself from Columbia.
1t had been limited that but for Mr..
Roosevelt it would not have been nee
essary for the democratic congress to
vote $25, 100000 to Columbia and
then apologize because the amount is
not larger. Mr.. Roosevelt has written
letter to Senator Stone, chairman of
the Senate Foreign Relations commit
tee, offering to come before the COM
mittee and tell all he knows about that
affair and to answer any question rela-
tive thereto. Mr.. Stone replied that
he was opposed to hearing the ex-
presidents testimony. Impartial OBJ
servers will conclude that Mr.. Stone is
afraid Mr.. Roosevelt's testimony will
put the democratic party in a deep
hole. AS president of the United
States when the canal zone was &C.
CURED and the Panama republic sep
arated itself from Columbia, Mr.. Roose-
welt assumes the responsibility for any
part this government may have taken
in the affair and if he involved the
United States in any financial obliga-
ton the people should know it. Mr..
Stone knows quite we'll that his com
mittee can fix no such responsibility
on Mr.. Roosevelt and would rather
that he rest under the suspicion than
be permitted to clear himself Of all
responsibility.

made its use expensive beyond all rea-
son and common sense, and so framed
it that any law could be withheld from
submission to the voters by declaring
the petition illegal and the signatures
insufficient. Legislatures can fool all
the people part of the time, and part
of the people all the time, but they
will find out some day that they can
not fool all the people all the time.
