An Important Suit.

A,suit now pending in the supreme
court Of Texas, style & Green VS.
Robinson, may prove of material in
terest to owners Of oil leases in
western Texas. The effect Of this
suit will be to determine whether
the mineral tights in land sold In the
counties Of Eastland stephens
Shackelford, Brown, Comarchc and
Erath are reserved to the state or
were transferred with the title to
the land. An act of. the legislature
rassed in 1888 reserved the minerals
in all state, school, university and
asylum lands sold under the au-
thority of this act by the state. A
number of persons who have Sc
cured leases from owners Of the fec
under patents from the state in the
rorth Texas oil fields are seeking to
protect their rights by securing
leases from the state. There are
cases in which 1t is believed tina:
those who arc applying for permits
TO prospect fer oil and gas until n
decision by the supreme court in
this case determines the rights of
the state The attorney general "a
said. to be OF the opinion that the
reservations made in the act Of 1888
no longer exist and the state has no
right or claim to any mineral rights.

CARDINAL GIBBONS THRIFT PLEA,

Cardinal Gibbons takes time from his manifold
church duties to deliver to his fellow countrymcn a
timely, concise and pointed little sermon on thrift.
His voice has been a vibrant one in behalf Of the
cause which America has espoused, but never was
he more happy in his preachmcnts than in this plea
for the saving habit.
Cardinal Gibbons approves of thrift on general
principles because it is a good practical policy Of
life and because it is a characterbuilder He urges
it specially at this time because, rightly exercised,
it becomes an eloquent expression Of patriotism.
Thrift is a character-builder in that it involves
a measure of self-denial, some foregoing of present
pleasures. 1t breeds a sense Of self-reliance. 1t
looks ahead to the better interests not only of one s
self, but to those of others. By doing these things
it yields an influence toward good citizenship, in
Cardinal Gibbons Judgment.
Considering thrift as a form of patriotism, the
cardinal urges the buying of war savings stamps
and certificates. He is just as jealous, of course, in
advocacy of the purchase of government bonds, but
in this instance the audience lie particularly wishes
to reach is made up Of that large body Of adults and
young folk who must, %perforce, make their patriotic
investments on a smaller scale. He asks both par
ents and children to acquire systematic saving habits
in this way, advising them it is at once a privilege, a
duty and a wise practice.
All good Americans will do we'll to take to
heart the counsel contained in this sermonettc and
to act upon Minneapolis Tribune. !

New York, Jan. DIFFERENTIATION

! New York territory, according to en-
c%ouraging reports received Friday at
the office of A. Fl. Smith, assistant di.
rector general of railroads. Efforts
are being concentrated upon the move
ment of coal, especially fuel for the
great fleet of merchant ships tied up
in this and other ports.
Harbor traffic is still handicapped
by ice packs, many steam lighters and
tugs used for towing barges having
been crippled by the heavy foes.
Nevertheless many more steamships
waiting for bunker coal to begin their
voyages were supplied today than on
any day in the last week. More than
100 vessels were said to be still wait
ing for coal.
Coaling of these ships was consid.
cred of first Importance and all efforts
were directed to that end. 1t was

and what is more we are going to do it. "Old

while thinking about no annexations, no indemni-
MAKES BORROWING SMOOTHER.

Comes now the attorney general and moves that
the cases against the big trusts be put over, in order
that the government may not meet with competition
from private enterprises in it's financial operations
and the notation of it's loans" Secretary McAdoo
says the attorney general, "has been constrained to
urge that all private financial operations on a large
scale be avoided" and dissolutions Of the Inter
national Harvester, United Shoe Machinery, u. S,
Steel, Eastman Kodak, Quaker Oats, American Can
and Corn Products Refining concerns would require
financial operations ON a large scale. In short, the
idea seems to be to hold back the heavy hand of
Justice until McAdoo gets a chance to extract loans.
This may be sound policy, founded solidly on
war necessity, but it will likely take it's place as a
novelty in the records Of high.up jurisprudence. War
sure is hell, but it would seem to be to the advan-
tage OF our biggest trusts to promote more Of it.

unequivocal support for the order
from President Wilson and a vigorous
defense by Fuel Administrator Gar

Opposition to the order in congress
apparently spent itself in debate in

Wilson Supports Garfield.
In his statement supporting DR.. Gar

Wilson says:

Il was Of course consulted by
DR.. Garfield before the fuel order
of yesterday was issued and fully
agreed with him that it was nee
essary, much as l regretted the
necessity. This war calls for
many sacrifices, and sacrifices of
the sort called for by this order
are infinitely less than sacrifices
Of life which might otherwise be
involved. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary to relieve the congestion at
the ports and upon the railways;
it is absolutely necessary to move
great quantities of food, and it is
absolutely necessary that our peo-
pie should be warmed in their
homes if nowhere else, and half
way measures would not have &C.
complished the desired ends.
Limping Along.
If action such as this had not
been taken we should have limped
along from day to day with a
slowly improving condition of az
fairs with regard to the shipment
of food and of coal, but without
such immediate relief as had be-
come absolutely necessary be-
cause of the congestion OF traffic
which have been piling up for the
last few months. Z

the result of action of this sort
will justify it, and that the peo-
pie of the country will loyalty
and periodically respond to nee

in the war. We are upon a war
footing and l am confident that

sort of discipline that might be
