Colorado Oil State

The oil shales of Colorado and Utah
will furnish the petroleum of the
country. and at no distant period. is
the belief of the United States Bu-
reau of mines.
In its annual report. issued recently
the bureau announces that for future
uses it is investigating the vast de
posits of shales in the two states, be-
lieveing that the oil supply will come
from them at no distant period.
Continuing, the bureau says it is re-
ported that the shales rival as sources
of petroleum the oil shales of Scot
land and New South Wales, have been
profitably exploited in spite of the
continued competition of oil from 9th
er sources.

The Weakness of Rural Schools.

The weakness of the common
schools in American rural communities
shows itself in their failure to educate
the marginal people of the community
and In their failure to train average
men and women for life in that COM
munity, their robbing the community
of leaderships by training those on
whom their influene is strongest, so
that they go out from the community
never to return; and in their general
disloyalty to the local community with
its needs and problems.-Wilson in
Evolution of Country Community"

lar demand for new leadership is &C.
tually SO strong as to give this new
man the greatest political prize over
which men struggle.
An All Around Big Man.
Estabrook is a big man physically,
mentally and politically. Quite six
feet in height, erect, rugged. he would
be a man of commanding presence in
any gathering. His mental attainments
are attested by his signal success in
the practice of law and by the wide
spread interest in his every public ut
terance on governmental, economic
and social problems. He has always
been a student and when he discusses
a subject he speaks with the author
ity of one who has mastered it. His
conclusions are invariably sound. and
once he has arrived at them, they are
proclaimed frankly and fearlessly, for
he is essentially a man with the cour-
age of his convictions.
For instance. he has been one of the
most drastic critics Of President VIII.
son and the present Democratic ad-
ministration. arraigning them for their
tariff law which bankrupted the fed.
eral treasury and which places the
American farmer. the American manu-
facturer. and the American laborer ut
the mercy of foreign competition, and
for foreign policy which has destroy
and American citizens once command.

Likewise Mr.. Estabrook was the first
man prominently before the public to
outline concrete program of national
defense, which he presented in an ad-
dress before the American Bankers
Association September Sth last at Seat
tie. characterized by the Seattle Times
MS 'one of the most remarkable ad,
IreSses ever delivered in the North

leader to point the way to the reunion
and harmonizing of all elements OF the
party. his "Get-Together" plea before
the Mckinley Club OF Omaha, Nebras-
ka. last Octoi.cr having attracted wide
spread attention.
From the time Mr.. Estabrook open
ed the Republican National campaign
In Chicago in 1896 he has been recog.
nized as one OF the ablest campaigners
I'm the United States, and there have
been few speakers in greater demand.
The issues in the great contest of
1916, which is to restore the Republic

tional affairs. will be Protection, Pros

brooks Judgment, with "Get-Together"

country. and has met with enthusiastic
receptions everywhere he has gone.

Ozark Horse" For Republican
Presidential Nomination.
NATIONAL DEFENSE PIONEER
Known as Fearless Advocate of sTra-
ditional Republican Principles-Also
Recognized as One of AbIest Cam
paigners In United States.

Far and away the most interesting
phase of the national political situa-
tion is the movement that has brought
Henry d. Estabrook. of New York and
Nebraska, so prominently to the front
as Il candidate for the Republican pres
idential nomination. First spoken of
as possibility in connection with the
presidency less than six months ago,
Mr.. Estabrook is today one of the lead.
ing candidates, with evidences of
strength that are source Of concern
to the friends of the other aspirants.
He has made speeches in every i'm
portant city in the East, Middle West.
and Far West, an arduous campaign
experience that has put him in good
condition to meet the rigorous demands
made in the head of a party's national
ticket, and his friends in Nebraska and
other States have formed Estabrook or
ganizations and are going after national
delegates in the most vigorous fashion.
Impartial observers agree that this
development of the Estabrook boom
has no parallel in the political history

John c. Havemeyer.--How can any
system of government endure or be
conscientiously accepted when it com
pels its citizens. who have accepted
the Ten Commandments, to kill their
fellow men and destroy their property,
the very things which these command
ments forbid them to do. The PROPOSE
tion of preparedness presented to the
American people is one which wholly
ignores God. is infidel in its spirit. as
sumes there is no eternity to be con
sidered. no further accountability, no
deceitfulness above all things to be
removed. and no prayer and divine
leadership required.

The first telegram was sent by s.
F. B. Morse, in this country, in 1874.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian., 1916-11-25

The story is told Of aweIl-known
Breadwayita who had his office un-
der the canopy Of theater and who
recently went abroad. He visited
Rome and stood under the Capitoline
and looked down into the heart Of
the ancient city.
He saw the ruins of the once
mighty forum cleaning coldly white
at his feet under the clear italian
moon. There we're visions to stir a
thousand memories-memories Of
triumphant, gorgeous Caesars, state
ly marble temples, silver-spoken ora
tors, and rich-worded poets.
After watching the scene for about
half-hour, he grew restless, and
then, turning to friend, sighed and
said: Gee, | wonder what the fell
lows are doing on Broadway to-
night?"

THE PLEASURE OF YOUTH.

A public schoolteacher once put
this question to her pupils:
(Which would you rather have
three bags with two apples in each
bag, or two bags with three apples
in each bag?"
"Three bags with two apples in
each bag" was the surprising an
swer given by one lad, while the rest
of the class was struggling with the
problem.
"Why, Harry?"
Because there'd be one more bag
to bust"

SCOTT SPEAKS FOR RACE.

Tuskesee institute Secretary Reassures
Nation Of Our Loyalty to the Flag.
Tuskegee, Ala.-When informed by
an Associated Press representative Of
the recent killing Of twelve Negro SOL
diers, Emmett j. Scott, secretary Of
the Tuskegee institute, called attention
to the fact that eighteen years ago,
when war was declared with Spain, the
late Booker T. Washington, principal
Of Tuskegee institute, called upon the
Negro people Of the United States, and
particularly upon Tuskegee graduates
and former students, to volunteer for
service in defense of their country.
Hundreds of Negroes followed this ad.
vice.
Secretary Scott states that there are
a dozen or more Tuskegee graduates
and former students in Mexico as mem.
bers Of the various colored regiments
Negroes" he states, Twill rally to the
defense Of their country now as they
have always DONE" AS the first Ameri.
can soldier to lose his life in Mexico,
March "a Of this year, was a Negro, so
the first man killed in the Revolution
ary war was q Negro.
The Negro people take pride in the
fact that it was the charge Of Negro
troops at San Juan hill in the Spanish
American war that turned the tide
there and that Negroes have fought
bravely In every war in which this
country has engaged. The Negro was
with Jackson at New Orleans, with
Perry on Lake Erie, and 10000 Negro
soldiers served In the civil war.
THE Negroes of this country" he
states. Twill be no less patriotic In the
Mexican campaign of 1915 than in
former periods Of stress and storm.
The Negro possesses patriotism that
rises above injustices and wrongs. He
is an American through and through.
The president will find no hyphenates
among us. The Negro has never fal-
tered in defense of his country. He will
not falter now. If President Wilson
desires to employ sturdy Negroes to
defend the flag he can be assured that
a hundred thousand and more are at
bis disposal"
