MILLIONS FAIL TO

Big Bid Rejected for Texas
Oil Concern Says Hol-

The report persists in circulation
that President Msrston. Of the Texas

was recently APPROACHED with intent
TO learn whether he would give IA
Vorable consideration to an orTer OF
$40 10000 presumably for the control
Of the property and majority owner
skip Of its resources. So also with
equal emphasis the report asserts
that President Marston was not dis
posed to give any consideration to
this proposition.
How much truth there is in this
report. OF course, President Marston
as well as those who made the orfeT
Z any were made alone knows. Never
theless. an offer considerably in ex-
cess Of q hundred million dollars for
a property which only three years ago
was capitalized at only $4,000 II
such offer was made, furnishes a
striking Illustration Of the relation OF
the oil industry in all its departments
to American industrial and business
life.
Assuming that as much as $40
o0O 600 was offered for the control
OF this property and for the greater
part of its resources IL is certain
that such offer could only have
been made by some one OF the very
large corporations engaged in the
oil industry or by combination
Of private capital and banking in
luence which are associated with
the O.. industry.
1t was ineyitabl that the report
Of his offer should have been put

A few of the old pietistic he-hens in
New York are putting forth an en-
deavor to eliminate Sunday baseball
but, under new law of that state,
they are unable to accomplish the end
sought. Cranky old grouches and
hypocrites have for many years tried
to abolish Sunday baseball and in some
instances have been successful, but the
fact remains that there is no more
harm in playing or attending a game
of ball on the Sabbath than in spend
ing an hour at the movies. Sunday is
the only day in the week when the
average workingman has an opportun-
ty to attend ball game, so why try
to deprive him of this diversion from
the humdrum of life? It does not

Daily papers are still publishing
army casualty lists with subheads
"Killed in Action" Wounded Severe
ly," etc. This is sufficient to stir the
ire Of the average American citizen,
who knows that the war came to an
end on November II of last year. The
lists do not, Of course, say where these
casualties occurred and in all proba-
bility have application to our troops
in Russia, country with which we
are not at war. It is burning shame
that our soldiers should be sacrificing
their lives in that country where there
is nothing to gain. Americans should
demand that the troops be returned at
once, and none sent to replace them
as is the intention Of the war depart
ment.

Clarence Mackay has written Mr..
Burleson to the effect that, if the Pos
tai telegraph lines are returned to
their owners, within "a hours thereaf-
ter rates will be reduced 20 per cent.
Such reduction, he states, would give
senders of kilograms approximately
a million dollars a month. It will be
remembered that the government on
April l ordered 20 percent increase
in rates. Mr.. Mackay proposes, as
a starter toward other reductions. to
wipe this off instanter. Now, if Mr..
Mackay and the great corporation
which he represents can reduce the
rates to their original point and still
make fair profit on operation, why
is it not possible for the government
wire administration to do likewise :?
Is it because of faulty management or
what?
