Should Mnkc a DIsnlnY.

A Pennsylvania OF many years
experience in the refining end, has
suggestion TO offer that is a good
one, namely: that the oil editor Of
The World have n rack made with
samples Of western lubricaung oil
in convenient bottles for the pur-
pose OF showing what can be done
with crude produced here.
He states that many thousands OF
barrels of western lubricatlng oil Is
sold annually in eastern packages,
He further says that he has observed
that some OF the lubricating oil
made here equals even in gravity the
eastern products but that leaving out
the question OF gravity there is
much Of the oil made here that will
appeal TO a fabrication engineer as
being more economical and more
effective as a lubricant than the
average run Of eastern oil sold as
Pennsylvania.
1t is an experiment worth trying
and the oil reporter will welcome
samples OF lubricants made here. An
effort will be made to interest Wis
itors and a general campaign show
ing what can be done started.

Tank Car Routes Established.

w. T. MacEwcn. supervisor OF
rail transportation for the western
district, with headquarters at Kan
sas city, has mailed out circulars to
all refinors advising that official
routes for the movement OF tank
cars from the mid-continent, Wyom-
ing and California fields TO points
east have been established.
The purpose OF establishing these
routes Is to enable the future con
solidation of individual car ship
ments into solid trains from Peoria,
Chicago and St Louis.
While It is likely that oil reflners
and traffic managers have received
these circulars, they can, however,
he inspected by calling at this desk,
The arrangement Is certainly u
mighty good one.

ON THE HONOR ROLL

The recent death Of Senator Ollie James,
of Kentucky, calls attention to the fact that
nine senators of the sixty-ffth congress have
passed over to the silent majority It is.
perhaps, only fair to ascribe this unusual
mortality to the great strain imposed upon
the higher house by the enactment of war
measures. The United States senate used to
be called the most leisurely legislative body
IN the world. But this has not been true
since the war was declared.
Some of the war bills have met with fierce
opposition, and the senate chamber has been
the scene of many rhetorical battles. chal-
longing all the mental resources of those
who took part, and sometimes arousing the
deepest passions. When it is considered
that the senate personnel is practically made
up of men past middle life some idea of the
strain these oratorical battles involved may
be had, and it is only fair to assume that
the health of those participating must have
suffered; therefore, it is safe to infer that
the unusual mortality is in part traceable
to the strain of war service. In other words,
some at least of these nine senators lost
their lives in the service of their country.
1t is the custom in our national legislative
body when a member dies to announce the
fact, and take an adjournment. A commit
tee IS appointed to accompany the body of
the deceased to the members home, and the
chamber adjourns out of respect to his mem
DRY. But it seems that something more spe-
clal than this should be done to mark in
some fitting manner the service of these
nine senators. The first to answer "absent"
to the last roll call was Senator Harry Lane.
OF Oregon, whose death occurred on MAY
"a, 1917. Since that time the senators who
have gone have been Paul 0. Husting. of
Wisconsin; Francis g. Newlands, of Nevada
James H. Brady, of Idaho; William Hughes,
of New Jersey; William J. Stone, of Missou-
ri; Benjamin R. Tillman, of South Carolina
James H. Gallinger, of New Hampshire, and
Ollie M. James, of Kentucky.
Every one of these men had achieved
national reputation. Some of them had at
times provoked hostile criticism, but it is
safe to say that each had served his coun-
try to the best of his ability. These men
died in service. They gave their lives for
their country as surely as though they had
fallen upon the field fighting in defense of
the flag.

THE CHEAPENING DOLLAR.

One serious result of wars destructiveness
is the cheapening of our dollars until now
it takes nearly two of them to buy as much
as could be purchased with one few years
ago.
Figures recently published by the depart
ment of labor show that measured by its
power to purchase food, the dollar of today
as compared with its value five years ago
is worth only 81 cents in Washington and
Baltimore, 81 cents in Philadelphia, SO cents
in New York and Chicago and 60 cents in
San Francisco In other words, food costing
a dollar in July, 1918, now costs $1.85 in
Washington and is proportionately high in
other places.
1t is a staggering advance, and the end
is not yet in sight. The war is yet raging.
There are rumOrs Of a victorious peace a
year hence, but it will not do to abate our
efforts towards accomplishing that desired
end. Meanwhile the cost of commodities
may mount even higher, the dollar become
even cheaper. War, however, is not the on
ly cause of this distressing situation. Prof
iteering has caused much of the suffering,
which is all the more eXasperating to bear.
We expected to pay a rather stiff price for
the privilege of licking Germany, which was
duly considered before we entered the war,
but we vigorously protest against the prof
iteers getting a single cent by their holdup
methods. Theirs is the discreditable position
Of one who talks face to face with another
as a friend, yet all the while conceals a dag
ger for plunging it into his back the moment
it is turned. So long as they get riches it
matters not to their shrunken souls how
much misery may result.
The hardest hit by the cheapening of our
dollars are the people living on salary or
other form of fixed income. Others who toll
have through combination secured advances
in wage sufficient to repair their loss This
in itself, however, has forced the producer
to demand more for his goods, which in turn
has set the laborer crying for more pay
Thus has the pyramid been builded, with
the apex downward and in feverish haste
VIII its equilibrium remain stable? One au-
thority believes it may require decade fol
our cheap dollars to recover their former
purchasing value, declaring it will be slow
process at best

THE SENATOR ELECT.

Hon. w. j. Harris has much reason to be
proud at his splendid victory for the United
States senate. 1t was one of the most over
whelming and complete in the history of
Georgia. 1t must fill his heart with graft
tude, and at the same time impress him with
a deep sense Of the obligation that will come
when he assumes the duties of the great Of
flee to which he has been called by such
large number of his fellow-citizens.
While the new senator makes no preten-
lions to being Conkling a Blaine a Ben
Hill or a Bacon in the forum of debate he
nevertheless has qualities that will enable
him to be of much usefulness to his con-
stituency. With a store of good practical
sense, an affable disposition, a pleasing adj
DRESS kindly nature, much energy and a
knowledge of the ms and outs of affairs at
Washington he will find and improve many
opportunities to be helpful.
We extend the next senator sincere con-
gratulations, and wish him every success
and much pleasure in the service of the
people

A Star on the Service Flag.

It's only star in the service flag,
A tiny blue star on a field of white
But it represents a soldier brave and true,
Who is fighting for the cause of right.
The white is surrounded outside
With rim of glorious red,
Which makes US think, OH so often,
Of the blood they may shed.
Shed it like men, my friends,
For you and for me,
Like our own dear Christ,
Who died on Calvary
They are fighting in the trenches
And along the firing line;
They are giving their all
For those they left behind.
So dear friend, when you kneeI to pray,
That they may ever stand for the cause of
And to their God be true.
Pray for the boys as they're crossing the seas
To fight in foreign Land
For you know it is our God
"Who hold the waters in the hollow of His
hand"
Ask God to guide them
In whatever they do,
And some day He'll bring
That boy back to you.
Remember the enemy, too, in your prayer,
Like our Saviour who was always true;
Think of what he said when he was crucified
Forgive them Father for they know not
what they do"
Then let US honor our boys cover here
In every way we can,
While they are lover there
Fighting for the uplift of man.
