SAYING OIL.

When the secretary of the navy talks about the conservation of oil it cannot fail to attract the attention of great many people. Those who are interested in the consumption of oil include a. much larger number today than was the case a decade or two ago, and the supply of oil does not appear to be inexhaustible For that reason when the secretary urges legislation looking to the conservation of oil he is bound to command attention even though his ideas may not be en- dorsed.
 Secretary Daniels believes for instance that fuel oil should be saved for ex- elusive use at sea. In this connection he apparently has in mind not only the navy but the large number of merchant ves- ses that are using that kind of fuel ex- clusively.
 That every possible waste in the use of oil should be stopped Will be generally approved It would not only insure a supply of oil for longer period but il would probably have it's effect upon the price, but when it comes to the conser. vation of oil for navigation purposes tc the exclusion of the many demands fol 1t on land it is doubted whether any such legislation could be obtained.
 If, however, the secretary has in mins the conservation of the oil for maya purposes only there will be much nor, force given to his effort, for with oi burning naval vessels it is of the great nst importance that there should be nufficient supply available at all tirne or the value of the navy is greatly re lluced. The navy is relied upon for pro lection but it will be impossible for it t furnish such unless it can be operated On the other hand should there be al attempt made to withhold oil from oth CTS in order to operate ships in genera there would be a discrimination agains other enterprises which would hardly b justified, since ships can be operate with other fuel but in this age there ar means of transportation which cannot b moved otherwise than with fuel oil c parts thereof

KEEP THE WALKS SAFE.

Usually before this there have been quite generous falls of snow, so that more CT less attention has had to be given to the clearing or sanding of side walks. That the snowfall has been light thus far only indicates the greater amount that is to come in. a shorter pe- riod of time, and it is not too early to realize that there should be contribu- tino to the safety and comfort of the pe- destrians by clearing the walks of snow and putting sand or ashes thereon when it is slippery.
 It is to be realized that the keeping of the sidewalks passable is an obliga- tion that rests upon all and not few. By the display of the proper spirit on the part of all this duty can be quickly discharged. There is no one but what appreciates the cleared sidewalk and the individual cannot fail to realize that in- asmuch as he appreciates the work of his neighbor and others in that direction. he should be as eager to render similar service to others With everyone doing his part there should be little trouble from bad walks and an appreciable re- duction in the number of accidents.
 But it is well to remember that there is not only a moral but legal obliga- ton in connection with the removal of snow There is a city ordinance which requires that it must be done, and with in certain time after a storm. Lack of enforcement has given many the impress sion that such amounts to nothing while others may be of the opinion that nothing of the kind exists. If all were sufficient ly solicitous for the welfare of others there would be little need of enforce ment. There are instances where due al lowance has to be made for existing con ditions but dangerous and bad walk. which are due to wilful neglect or care lessness cannot be tolerated.
 Those who do-net clear their walk must expect to be reminded of it, whil, those who carefully respond to their ob legations to others and to the law hay, every reason to expect that others vii be held 10 their responsibilities.

in Indiana west of Cincinnati to Williams burg, Ohio. In Morgan's command. and also Gen. Hobson's, there were many hors- es that made the entire march from start to finish.
 In sections ofN the hill country in Ohio the home guards delayed Morganst advance by felling trees across the place and occasionally 1t was possible to pick up Morgan's stragglers. In a literal sense of the word these men were not strag- iT'ers, bIi. nl4a who were worn but fort was impossible.
 On the 18th of July Morgan was ap- preaching the Ohio River, near Buffing- ton Island not far from the historic Blen- nerhasset Island, expecting to cross into West Virginia, with Hobson's command about eight hours in the rear. Hobson held nasty coucil and resolved to pick out his best men to make up a flying column. which started off for the six teenth all-night march.
 On the morning of July IS the Hobsor flying column came up with the Morgan outposts. Riding into the valley of tho 1 Ohio they enveloped Morgan's force (which was delayed in crossing the river
 on account of fog. It was too late. All hopes for Morgan's escape were gone l me OnlO ralu pracllcaily endeQ nefe, al l though Morgan himself and small DOT I tion of his men .sed and fled toward
 Lake Erie, being taken at Lisbon within one days ride of the lake.
 From the moment of Morgan's landina on the Indiana side of the Ohio river un til his defeat at Burlington Island, no less than 1e0,00o home guards wer, called out to suppress him One can bu admire the skill and courage of Morgar
 and Duke, which enabled them to lea the two thousand troops on such a rait Ibaffling for so long the efforts of so man, men to capture them. Morgan was i'm prisoneG in the Ohio penitentiary, bu escaped by digging hinsef out in No vember, 1863. Later Morgan undertool 1 raid in Tennessee, but being surround 1 ed by Union troops near Greeneville, h I was killed attempting to escape.

'DD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
THE JOHN MORGAN RAID

The most darking and the most pictur- esquie incident of the great civil war was the John Morgan raid in the early summer of 1863. When the army of the Cumber- land under Rosecrans was preparing for it's Chickamauga campaign and Gen. Burniside's army of the Ohio was pre- pairing for the advance into East Tennes- see, out of the night marched thousands of Confederate horsemen under the lead ership of that most distinguished, cavalry raider, Gen John H. Morgan. They were headed to the north, and passed be- tween the armies of Rosecrans and Burn side.
 This was called the 'ohio Raid and extended across Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio and terminated at New Lisbon in the latter state. If Morgan had been permitted to go one day longer he could have watered his horses in Lake Erie. bold dash of the confederate cavalry was persist ently pursued by the Union horse men for distance of about 1000 miles. A particularly striking feature of this cavalry campaign was that it was wit
 messed by more persons than any other
 military operation of the entire war. Thou sands and tens of thousands of. citizens of Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio thronged the line of march taken by Morgan and
 pursuing forces under general Hobson. During all his operations Morgan and his chief lieutenant, Gen. Basil Duke were exceedingly skilled in misleadine the union forces They were most in l dustrious in giving out, the information 1 that they were 10,000 in number. but as matter of fact, they numbered only 2.5oo.
 i A rapid raid across Kentucky, Morgan l designated as warming up heat" and 1 whe nhe crossed the Ohio into Indiana tht | steamboats that they had used were burn l ed to the waters edge. tied fast to the Indiana shore in order to prevent pursuit 1 The appearance of Morgan's men or 1 the north bank of the Ohio caused great 1 consternation in Indiana and Ohio. Ont hundred thousand nome guards wert i called out in the two states to arres Morgan's progress. He succeeded in elud ing this force for considerable time | In his sweep acress three states he took al the horses he could find, leaving his pur | suers to find mounts with extreme diff l culty. Some of the raiders, it was said | wore out as many as eight horses. was be entirely safe to state that the mel of Morgan's and Hobson's command em ployed on this expedition not dess thar 25.0oO horses averaging five horses t each soldier.
 It was on this raid that Morgan es tablished the worlds record for movin
