Oh Is King.

The European war is without a doubt
doing more to direct general attention
to the claims of oil and its multitu-
dinous products than any mount of
advertising in normal times could have
accomplished.
The great clash of arms on the con-
tinent has from it's commencement
shown that the necessity for the prod
ucts of petroleum in up-tO-date warfare
is no less than in either the industrial
circles or in domestic life. We are to-
day as much dependent upon the re-
fined products of crude oil as we are
upon wheat and other necessities Of
life, and as time goes on, and the uses
which are constantly being found for
petroleum multiply, our dependency
upon oil becomes the greater. =.
1t is no surprise, therefore, to find
that not only are petroleum products
generally commanding greater attention
than they ever before did, but that a
particular healthy atmosphere perme-
ates those enterprises which have laid
themselves out-and successfully~so-
to engage in the production, the re-
filming, the transport, DR. the distribu-
ton of petroleum products. There is,
in short, no installing the fact that in
the future, oil will be king.-Petro-
leum Review.

DECEPTION THAT Is COMMON
Nations Affected in Peculiar Way by
What May Be Called the Su-
preme Law of Irony.

The Christian nations offer many IL
Illustrations of the law of irony. They
profess the citizenship of heaven, the
exclusive worship of eternal good and
never has the hungry pursuit of perish
able joys, the love of this world, or the
thirst for conquest been stronger or
more active than among these nations.
Their official motto is exactly the re-
verse Of their real aspiration. Under
a false flag they play the smuggler
with a droll case of conscience.
Is the fraud conscious one? No
it is but an application of the law of
irony. The deception is so common
that the delinquent becomes uncon-
scious of it. Every nation gives itself the
lie in the course of its daily life, and
not one feels the ridicule of It's posi-
ton. A man must be a Japanese to
perceive the burlesque contradictions
of the Christian civilization. He must
be q native of the moon to understand
the stupidity of man, and his state
of constant delusion.-From 1.-The Law
of Irony" by Henry Frederic Amiel.

approaching winter. and I offered my

stature, but big OF intellect. I do not
believe the tallest one would exceed
five feet ten, and each was of different
temperament. Stevens was high
strung, and as impatient as a wild

considerate of his men. When we
stopped for the night, the governor al

The writer's of history in all times
seem to have planned a series of land
marks. or mileposts along the highway
of human progress and activities, and
to each of these they would tie tho
most spectacular features of war or
peace of the period. War. however,
received it's full measure Of attention
and heroes were made and unmade on
the fields of battle. Now. that war Ns
so universal and it's human interest IL
of such common sort that the genius
in the arts of conflict no sooner mani.
tests the spirit of leadership than he
finds his glory melted into the common
pot. perhaps the real heroes Of civili-
zation, rather than those Of war; may
be noticed with more than a passing
interest.
In the early days Of the northwest
there were men, true Of nature and
brave of heart, who performed heroic
and lasting service in the leveline Of
savage customs of past ages and laying
the foundation Cor new empires with
ideals established in the hearts of a
stronger people. In this day of wild
scramble for gold and social and po1it-
ical mountain climbing by white bril-
might revert with profit to the life Of
one of the pioneers Of the Colville
country; real soldier and coworker
with governors, generals and presi-
dents in the making.

IN EARLY HISTORY

wOLFF'S "REMINISCENCES
(By John B. Slater. historian of the
Stevens County Pioneer Association.)
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-12-15

ganlzer of Jewish carpenters union
IN New York, now is Bolsheviki
organizer in Moscow. J. Shubin, a
former New York Jewish newspaper
writer, left America on November 7,
posing as clerk for an engineering
mission, carrying letters and docu-
ments from the New York workmen's
council and from a newly elected New
York Socialist official. DIR. Max Gold
farb. formerly labor writer for prac-
tical work in the labor cause, also is
among those who slipped quietly away
from the land which had been their
haven, on mission of disruption to
the land from which they fled.
These are but a few examples.
There have been a great many such
cases. And those who cannot forget
Germany's courtesy to Lenine cannot
forget the German domination of So
clallsm in America, to which these
eXpatriates have been adherents.
That they are helping to disor-
ganize the land of their nativity, as
they strove to disrupt the land of
their erstwhile adoption, is the pro-
found regret of true internationaiists
in America.
The whole situation goes to prove
the falsity of that Socialism which has
been the product of the typical Ger
man mind, tainted cunningly and
curiously enough both with the Ger
man metaphysical conception and with
the brutal materialism of the German
ruling class. The cleverness with
which this paradoxical combination
has been wrought and foisted upon
great part of the worlds revolutionary
thought has not ceased to amaze
American internationalists but they
have come to admit the fact and they
have discredited the whole tainted
mixture. Their hope for Russia is
recovery from the nightmare and the
building of a great democracy of
workers.
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-12-15
BOLSHEVIKI in RUSSIA IS JUST
AN ENLARGED EDITION OF SAME
TYPE FOUND in AMERICAN CITIES
By CHESTER NJ. WRIGHT

America understands the nature of
the Bolsheviki movement in Russia in
large measure, through its under
standing of those who have gone from
America to take part in it and to help
guide its erratic destinies.
These men who have gone from
America have been those most closely
identified with that type of Socialism
in America known as Germanized
Socialism, in which reality is denied
and metaphysical conception put UP
in its place
They also have been known in
America for years as "impossibilists, -
which has meant taking no heed of
the fact of today, but holding out for
grand notwithstanding about the
future state of society instead of
working for it.
The history of the world has shown
that dreamers have forced the world
to acknowledge abuses and has driven
the world to correct them, but the
correcting always has been done by
those who have been willing to under
stand and grapple with practical
affairs as they existed.
New York has furnished a consider
able number of men who now are in
Russia active in the Bolsheviki
scramble. Some of these are men who
have. learned in America how to or
ganize successfully and how to agitate
effectively. They have learned how to
use sophistry also.
Trotzky himself is well known in
New York and it is not eight months
since he left the American metropolis,
leaving behind memories of an ego
tistical, quarrelsome parsonage of a
highly theoretical trend of mind.
S. Epstein, long we'll known as or
ganizer of the Ladies Waist Makers
Union and editor of the unions Off
cial journal, is now in Russia as a
Bolsheviki agitator. J. Vostrow, or

Testing Delaware Made Brick

The Civil Engineering Depart
ment Of Delaware College is under
taking a series Of tests of brick
manufactured in Delaware. These
tests are under the auspices of the
Committee on Brick of the Amer
lean Society of Testing Materials.
This Society is conducting tests
nationwide in their scope on the
quality and strength of brick made
in various localities. Three tests
ore to be made. Those on the
transverse strength and absorp-
tion of the brick will be conducted
at the College laboratories in New
ark. Thru the kindness of Profess
sors Tilden and Jones, of Johns
Hopkins University, the crushing
tests will be conducted in Balti-
more, as the Delaware College lab
oratories are not provided with
machines of sufficient capacity for
his work.
