 Some social cynic will exclaim, 'If you will only leave out the word religion we won't object" But I shan't leave out the word religion for in that word see Americas greatest need today. There are hypocites all around, and the cynic points me to them, but I answer. T have seen good man, the secret of his good ness was religion. and good life is an argument that I cannot answer
 Despite appearances to the contrary, ] believe that America even yet is not so far away from Plymouth Rock. In the cabaret shows, amirst the roof garden follies and in the gayest whirl, there are many in the giddy throng who still bear like magic talisman the memory ot the white spires of New England.
 Sabbatier, the French modernist, says Man is innately religious" With espe- cial truth I beliece we may say the American is innately religious. This na ton had it's origin in the struggles of faith. The Huguenot, the Covenanter and the Pilgrim hacve bequeathed to us a national sentiment whose potency is not merely il the love of our country, but also in allegiance to our God. There fore today, our patriotism should express itself not in flippancy, but in the deep est reverence and devotion. God and the flag are one and inseparable in this land. and the citizen who does not rev erence his God cannot truly honor his flag.

DEVELOPMENT IN
 FL PASO FIELD

Fl Paso. Tex. July 11.-This weeks de-
 mona, Tex, adjacent to the already fla
 nous production center known as the
 Duke pool, from which 2o,0Oo barrels of
 crude oil per day is flowing from 8
 wells, have included-besides the entry of
 the Guggenheim interests with reported investment of s1, 800 000-the formation of the Pullman oil and Refining company, intetion of sinking 10 wells and con- structing it's own refinning and pipe lines.
 The Pullman Oil and Refining com
 pany is the reorganized Fl Paso Duke oil company, owner of AT acres of choice oil land in the Texas oil fields, several tracts of which are jam-up to fushers like the C. T. Terrell and Peerless The company now has three rigs up and one drill going down in the Desremona tlelo. It's well in the Desdemona townslte IS down 1000 feet and is expected to reach oil sand July 9 at about 2750 feet depth' The rapidity with which the El Faso- Duke Notation was put over last spring was one of the wonders of the oil game in the southwest, it's capital or $6u,0o De- ing largely oversubscribed by people from ali narts of the United States probably the majority of them men of the army and navy.
 The Pullman Oil and Refining company is unique in that it's organizers ana lead ing directors are officers of high rank in the regular army. Col. Francis w. Glover, chief of staff in the El Paso dis trict. is president; Lieut. Col. John Pull i,ttop pt s lP l.. Harms and Capt. Chester M. Mears are trustees. The field operations are in charge of practical oil men who have achieved great success in the big gest mid-contnent fields
 Convinced of the success in the oil busi- ness attained only through centralization of interests with large working capital, and the addition of pipe lines and refin- cry to producing wells, the men at the head of the/ Pullman Oil and Refining company have been working steadily to this end since they entered their scope Of investment and operations met with quick and favorable response of stock holders at the reorganization meeting in Fl Paso, June 24. There will be one mill lion shares of the Pullman company sold. the balance held in reserve.
 SMen of the big oil companies are saying lately that the oil business is fast devel- oping into big capital game, combined production, transportation and refining | being the surest way to accumulate divi- dends TlA little fellow who can drill only one 6r two wells will, the larger operators say, not be the factor in the game that the combinations with ample capital will. Exceptionally large com panies are becoming very common in Texas with large holdings of land and l the whole paraphernalia of production and marketing under their control.

Keep 'em on the road Moley and the pennant is yours. The Barons are very likely leading all the teams in their road games. To date Moley's men have won IS and lost IS on for eign soil while at Redwood their re- cord is Is wins and 20 losses. Can you beat it?
 Incidentally them Barons have won three straight series and of : games on the present road trip. New Orleans and Mobile are "set-ups" for our boys each team having dropped s out of 13 to Moley's hirelings this season.
 The three leading teams in the sou thern league lost yesterday Mobile and Atlanta are ties at 800 each. The Barons play in Atlanta today while Mobile entertains New orleans. If the Barons win and Mobile loses our boys will go into third place by an awful narrow margin. We prefer to see the Pels beaten for Mobile doesn't look like serious pennant contenders to us.
 Morrison or Coffindaffer will open against the Crackers today while Shee- han or Suggs will hurl for Chony's clan. Our guess is Merry and Sheehan.
 At the present writing Little
 Rock has by far the best chance to
 win the pennant if games at home

KEEPING DOWN" COAL
PRICES.

The fixing of maximum prices
for coal at the mouth of the mine
by the government is hailed as
measure designed to prevent prof
iteering. Operators, We are told,
are cooperating in this method OF
holding the "greedy and un.
scrupulous" elements in check
and placing them in a position
where they cannot take advantage
of the strike situation by al
vancing prices.
The controlled" price of coal
to New Orleans consumers will be
from SO to $40 ton-an advance
over the war prices of year ago
and radical advance over pre-
war prices. Most of the citizens
can readily remember what they
paid for coal five or six years ago
and how that price compares witt
what is claimed to be treason
able" now.
In a recent interview, Mr.
Gompers charged that coal ope

prices since the armistice by run
ming their mines only fraction
of the time, and that the resultant
distress of the miners is one of
the basic causes of the present
strike. We have not seen this
statement denied. The continued
shipment of coal to Great Britain
and the continent while the coal
men are crying Wolf" to scare
the consumers into paying more
than-war prices is rather con-
firmatory of a part Of his charges,
The public impression is that coal
operators reaped great profits
during the era of war-prices, even
allowing for greater expense OF
production. The accumulation of
a great surplus of coal was their
own speculation. If the war had
gone on, as most people believed
it would, they would have bene-
flied enormously. 1t was their
place to take the risks of the
speculation. but nobody is doing
that now. A paternal government
