THE NATIONS GAS SUPPLY

think the oil biologists can esti-
mate within so per cent of the oil
fields of the United States, but who
could have fcretold within 100 per
cent. of the truth the increase in the
consumption Of gasoline even within
the present decade" The present
demand for oil is more than 5000
900 barrels greater per month than
it was year ago, and Mr.. Smith OBJ
serves that 1.-The arts of peace are
requiring more oil than we have"
What are we going to do about it?
The problem does not seem to be
concerning very many people since
the number of automobile users is
constantly on the increase, and the
manufacturers are all
behind in their orders. At the same
time there is steady increase in
the use of oil for beating and power
in transportation and industries.

MR.. BRYANss COOKED REASONING.

| MIR. Bryan seems to have bent toward crook
| ed thinking. He can reason from nothing to
something and from sound premises to usound
conclusions more often than most of our public
men. Not often, however, does he better his
average by reasoning from unsound premises
to sound conclusions. His latest example Of
warped logic is his presentation before the
senate labor committee Of a proposal for a
permanent tribunal for the adjustment OF labor
controversies.
| AS foundation for his proposal, Mr.. Bryan
declared that it was merely the application of
the principle involved in the thirty peace
treaties negotiated while he was secretary Of
state. He then argued, from the improbability
iof any nation going to war after time had been
taken for thorough investigation that investi-
cation would bring the same result in labor
troubles.
the difference between individuals or bodies of
individuals and governments and from the diff
ference between disputes Of nations and those
of employer and cmploye. Individuals do not
act like governments. They are acting for
themselves, while governments, even the most
despotic, acting for their peoples as
whole. Then individuals in labor dispute
have certain definite differences and generally
these are much more difficult to compromise
than are the often shadowy differences be-
tween nations Investigation may help to
avoid labor troubles and may help end labor
disputes; but something more is needed to
settle them finally, no matter what it has ac-
complished as between nations.

TIE MoRIBUND LEAGUE.

The league OF nations, though adopted by all
old world allies, is already shelved, imperative,
set aside and without authority, ii not In fact
defunt The three premiers OF Great Britain,
France and Italy and President Wilson IN Jan
uary, 1919, constituted themselves supreme
council for the settlement Of all matters grow
ING out of the war. Mr. Wilson was dropped
from it when it became clear that he could not
speak for the United States as the Dremlers
voiced their nations. But the council is still III
operation and with no present intention OF sur
rendering It's powers. In fact Lloyd George
told parliament the other day that there was no
reason to look for it's early dissolution. 1t may
be conceded that this council handle the
existing situation much better than the cum
brols machinery o. the league. Nor is there
any reason to doubt that if the league were in
little cotcrie of rulers would run it,
lust as the council runs along without it today.
nor the truth is that the league constituted
isp mechanism devised by theorists; and while
it might function tolerably we'll in normal times
when it had little or nothing to do, it is par
pablv unavoidable in critical times Like these.
Hence the league is arrested development
and moribund and the council has very proper
ly taken over it's powers.

Union Men and Strikes,

Webster City Fireman. ournal: N.
w. Frisbie, locomotive engineer for
thirty years or more, a real working
man, member of union and good
citizen, was elected mayor of Water
loo by a good majority. When Mr..
Frisbie was nominated he issued a
statement setting forth his platform,
and among other things said: IT am
opposed to strikes" He didn't make
any qualifications or extdses or expla-
nations. He simply declared himself
in plain language to be against some
thing. Notwithstanding this atti
tude on the part of the Waterloo can
didate, laboring men generally sup
ported him. This fact created some
establishment, but it need not Many
union men who are ordered out on
strikes obey the order reluctantly.
They are fairly well satisfied with
their jobs and do not fancy the idea
of losing days of valuable time. How
ever, they are loyal to their unions
and obey the mandates from those
higher up. Perhaps IL the truth were
known, if the men would speak from
their hearts and say just what they
think, it would be found that major
ity are opposed to many of the strikes
that are ordered by officers or by the
votes Of men belonging to the union
not employed in the factory or shop

GETTING MoNoToNoUs.

President Wilson vetoed the budget bill be-

for congress to assume powers that now belong

l wandered lonely cloud
That floats on high DER wales and hills,
When all at once saw crowd,
A host of golden dafodils,
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
F1uttering, dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle ON the Milky Way,
They stretched in neVer-ending line
Along the margin of bay;
Ten thousand saw | at q glance,
Tossing their heals in sprishtly dance.
The waves beside Them danced, but they
Outdid the sparkling waves in slee;
A poet could not but be gay
In such jocund company;
gazed, and gazed, but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought.
For oft, when on my couch lie,
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is che bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daTodills
