The government has lost another

The name of Liagett to most
urban dweIlers of the country who
patronage his stores has no political
Significance. Nor can it yet be
said with truth that he is a large
figure in that striving world. But
he plans to be and he usually gets
what he wants. A few years ago
he had a term of high Office in the
Chamber of Commerce of Boston,
and while he did not do all that he
wanted TO do or rush through all
the reforms he had in mind he
did shake up valetudiSarians and
rattle much of the Chambers best

next Republican national convention
as delegate and as one of the States

for this volunteering habit. They in
tend to pick and choose. Veterans
like Henry Cabot Lodge and Murray
Crane expect to decide who the big

cided in favor of himself and the other
man; and the rest of the slate does
not have Liggett written on 1t. But
there is considerable progressive Re

By o. o. Mcintyre

New York. Feb. IS
He Is an old rag picker.
With a hawk-like face.
And cracked stare.
And carries a big sack.
, Thrown over his shoulder.
And he comes out at night.
Sinking along Fifth Avenue.
Lick a ghostly shadow.
Pausing at garbage cans.
And grooming to himself.
In callous apathy.
And now and then.
He stops and looks about
And gives forth a cackle.
Like a weird echo.
From lonely madhouse.
, And at the cathedral steps.
He stops again to rest.
And then ambles on.
Peering into great houses.
That shoulder each other.
In luxurious array.
And when a door swings open.
He slides noiselessly away.
From the street lamps glare.
Like an unclean dream.
And whenever / see him.
l wonder il he too.
Once had his big dreams.
Like the rest of us.
And by what force.
OF cruel circumstances.
Was he finally brought.
To this unhappy state.
Or whether he is not.
Just as happy az VIC.
with no thought.of tomorrow.
Or the high cost of living.
Or the income tax.
Or the price of gssolene.
And the more ] think.
About his station in life.
The more it impresses me.
That we waste.
Our tender sympsthies.
Upon such as he.
In fact. I believe
I'll quit this life of toll
And take Yp rag picking.
As an occupation.

And you have your own hours.

OPPOSED OIL PIPE LINES
Teamsters Defeated PrcPosit'en
Which Had Its origin In Bran OF
Heman Jones, Pennsylvania.

n was an American, Heman Jones
OF Erie, Pa, who first conceived the
idea of the construction of an oil pipe
line. 1t was to be Of wood four incnes
in diameter, but was not executed.
year later, in 1862, a bill was miro
duced into the legislature AUTHORIZING
a pipe line from Oil Creek to kittan'
ming, Pa, (the state In which oil was
first discovered), but II got no further'
through the opposition OF 4,0OO team
sters. In fact for some years the
transfers made impossible the sue
cess of the pipe lines. They were 40
ing very we'll out of the existing meth
DDS of transportation, earning Slo 10
$50 day, and they viewed with VIM
dictive disfavor the loss OF dollars
and weekly revelrles. Both In 1858
and in 1865 the transfers wrought
havoc on the two pipe lines construct
ed In those years. Eventually prog
ress gained the day, and many lines
were laid, including one 1O2 miles long
In 1880. 1t was not. however, till John
D. Rockefeller and his associates took
the matter in hand, eliminating all the
old.fashioned methods Of production
and transportation, that petroleum be-
gan to be the power and profit it Is to-
day. In 1850 the United States pro-
duction of petroleum was 21,0OOOOO
gallons. In 1917 1t had risen TO 49,
440,OOO,O00 gallons. Gasoline Is still
the chief deriyative, but fuel oil has
q great future.

BELGlANs PROUD OF CITIES
In Their Centers Of Industry They See
Ernhedle the Glorious History
of the Past.

No man shall say we love our land
less than a Frenchman loves France.
less than. q Belgian loves his native
land. We have our holy cities Win
chester aud Canterbury, and hundred
more whose old names are dear to
speak. Yet believe, writes Lon
doner" In the London Evening News,
that the Belgian has a patriotism OF
the city, OF the town, which we never
had.
The story of that love for the city
is all the history of Belgium. The his
tory OF the freedom and the wealth
and the ancient arts of Belgium is
in the history of Antwerp and BrugeS,
of Brussels and Client, and Louvain
and YpreS. 1t begins with the build
Ing of the town wall, with the market
that grows up behind the shelter of
walls and armed gates, with the rails
ing of the tall belfry, the towns pride,
and the hanging of the bells.
If you were tourist who could see
the glory Of old Flanders and Brabant,
you would look not at the cathedral or
the church, although Belgium has
many noble old churches, but at the
town hall and the belfry. The like of
them is not in any other country.
