An Inspiring Example.

General Leonard Wood says that
the voluntary principle is failure;
and yet, almost in the same breath,
declares that his volunteers at Platts-
bur, N. Y, will be nearly, if not
quite, ready for actual service in war
at the end of one months drilling,
says the St. Paul Dispatch.
That may be as it may be. Even
the most enthusiastic advocate of the
volunteer system does not expect to
make veterans out of rockies in one
month. But the demonstration at
Plattsburg is valuable to the nation
quite apart from the technical ques-
tion of how long it takes to trans
form citizens into soldiers.
Here are ], 400 men from every walk
of life going through all the tedious
maneuvers inseperable from military
drill, and doing it willingly, gladly,
because they are convinced that the
future safety of the nation depends
on the unselfish private efforts of
American citizens to help better the
military defenses of the country.
The patriotism and discipline of
the American people are we'll illus
trated by the toiling 1,400 at Platts-
burg. Among them one finds such
men as Mayor Mitchell of New York;
Robert Bacon, at one time American
ambassador to Russia; Richard
Harding Davis, the writer; William
D. Straight, of the firm Of J. P. Nor
gan & Co.; Percy Haughton, the
Harvard football coach; and others
equally prominent. Many of them
were busy men, many past the age Of
military service, but they entered
the ranks as privates without MUIR
muir, and underwent all the hard
ships of camp life without complaint.
That is what has happened in
America in times of peace, and the
example set by the men of New York
ought to be copied all over the Union
in times of peace. But who can
doubt for one instant the patriotic
temper of the American citizen after
witnessing the inspiring goings-on
at Plattsburg, or that there would be
a mighty rush of arms if danger
ever threatened the country?

farmers are as rule a nice class Of
folks to do business with and if the
country editor does his best he is
usually well taken care of. The

Nav Issue Orders.

1t is possible that the attorney gen
erals office will advocate immediate
action relative to the temporary in
junction secured by the Okmulgee
Gas company and others preventing
the corporation commission from en-
forcing the colSmon purchaser pro-
visions of the laws relative to the
handling of gas, and that every Ell
fort will be exerted for final conclus-
ion of the matters involy ed.
The injunction secured by the gas
companies in the federal district
court against the corporation comllis'
sion a few days ago for time at
least appeared to probably make
some difference in the issuing Of the
commissions new order enforcing the
conservation provisions of the con
servation gas law. 1t is believed now
that it will not interfere to any ser
ious extent, since the conclusion to
advance the injunction case to as
speedy a termination as possible.
The next step to take is to have
the injunction set for trial and try
the case on 'ts merits. There is
little doubt but that either side losing
will take the case to the United
States supreme court. and have it
settled by the highest tribunal. An
informal conference has been held by
interests involved in the Injunction
suit and it is understood that a re-
quest will be made to have the case

NO BOMBS FOUND ON
STEAMSHIP BARON NAPIER

New Orleans, July IA wireless
message received late Monday by To-
cal agents from Captain Goudy of the
British steamship Baron Napier, sup
posed to have bombs aboard, said that
he had searched the vessel and had
found no explosives.
The message of warning to the YES
sells captain of possible existence on
board, of the explosives, was said to
have been communicated to the Baron
Napier off the Florida coast.
Hans Halle, recently acquitted on a
charge of having manufactured a
bomb, which he admitted to the police,
was still being held by the police on a
minor charge. The police so far have
not connected Halle with authorship
of the letter, but they will hold him
pending completion of an exhaustive
investigation. No other arrests have
been made.
The first intimation that the Baron
Napier and the Hawkshead have
bombs aboard, was contained in let
ter received late yesterday by local
newspaper. The letter was written by
a person who called himself "Pearce." "
No word has been received from
the Hawkshead.
Pearce declared in his letter that
he was a co-worker with Erich Muens-
ter, who recently shot and wounded
j. p Morgan and who later killed him
self.

OIL and GAS NEWS

and will be in operation within thirty
days. 1t is being built at a cost of
$150,O00. 1t is said that all the treat
ing the oil needs is to remove the
dirt. 1t is expected that each barrel
of the oil after treatment will sell
f. o. b. the cars at s. barrel. One
test is drilling IN the field at 900
feet and efforts will be made to as
certain if any deeper sands exist.
Fifty or sixty wells have been COM
pleted and at this time no wells are
being drilled except the one deep
test. A farmer who has one of the
wells on his place has been selling
the oil for number if years to a
big saddle house which has been
using it as a dressing oil,
This field presents sCme interest
ing phases to people here, for the
reason that Carter county probably
has a similar field at Homer. The
oil at Homer is shallow. the gravity
is low the well is a small producer
the oil has a high value as a lubri
cant. 1t is reasonable to presume
that there will be a pay field de-
yeloped at Homer, although oil men
state that lubricating oil is a hard
proposition for the oil field. The
seller comes directly into competition
with the big men OF the business in
the treating of lubricating oils, and a
market for a considerable quantity is
said to be rather hard to build up.

Oil Royalty Too High.

OIL Royalty 90 high.
Oklahoma City July l. In an eff
fort to stimulate production of oil in
the Cimarron and Arkansas river bed
leases, ID. II. L!nebGugh, United
States attorney for the eastern dis
trict, with headquarters at Musko-
gee, is in Oklahoma City Mr.. Line
baugh presented tentative draft of
a proposed modified order regarding
these oil leases to Governor Will
liams and Attorney General Freezing
and later will ask that the order be
issued by a federal judge.
The reduction of the royalty de-
manded on the leases is the main
issue of the modified order. Accord
ing to it a 20 per cent fiat royalty
will be required, with q bond, and
the lessee also to pay q bonus for
the lease. 1t affects the assignees
of the old river bed lessees.
The royalty in the past has barred
from % TO 81 per cent and little
or no production has resulted Mr..
Linebaugh attributed this to the low
price of oil and the excessive royalty.
Mr.. Limbaugh is acting for the
government which is intervening in
behalf of the Creek Indians as
against the asserted claim of the
state on account of the leases being
on 2 navigable stream. The govern
ment contends that the streams are
not navigable and that the land does
not belong to the state but to the
Indians.
