ROMANCE AND OIL

young married man who lived with an
aunt on whose farm had been found oil
in large quantities. John hauled oil with
his aunt's team. In those days he was
a sedate young fellow. One day the aunt
made a mistaken attempt to accelerate
the fire in the kitchen stove by the add.
ton of crude oil. She died, very unpleas-
antly.
Following the funeral. the sole heir, John
Steel, opened his aunts safe and found
$4,000. He spent this money neither
got more of the long green from royal
ties due the estate. A record spending

lowed Popular opinion has always OBJ
tanned that Steel spent millions, but as
matter of fact the amount was only
about a half million!
Then one day John Steel came back
home, broken in purse. contrite. His wife
forgave him. He took a job and from
that day on, became a hard-working and
Industrious citizen, who within few
years was respected by all who knew
him.
Then there was old man Bennington,
an iliiterate German who had made
bundle Of money by reason of oil be-
ing found on his farm. He didn't believe
in banks. So he had very nifty safe,
placed in the farmhouse. In this he kept
his spare change.
One evening several husky males called
at the homely farm, and with brutal
threats forced the trembling old man to
open the safe. When they left it was
discovered they had taken with them

6HHERE 10 more romance in oil than
in any other American industry.
The first artesian oil well which
was drilled at Titusville. in Pennsylvania.
came into being because some clever
New York stock jobbers started to com
mercialize the product of an ''oil spring. -
and had to live up to their bluff. They
sold stock in the Spring" Eventually
the stockholders raised a howl, and want
ed action. So the stock jobbers sent
down Edwin l.. Drake, minority stock
holder, who had been forced to quit his
job as a railroad conductor, to do some
thing with the oil spring This ex-rail-
road conductor conceived and put through
the idea Of drilling down to the source
of supply to secure the oil which bub-
bled to the wells surface.
Then there is the story Of Pit Hole
City, at one time the third largest post
office in Pennsylvania. Some old gray
beard can tell you the tale of the settle
drilled the first flowing oil wells in the
world, and how in three months time
they had built a city with population

Rockers measley, no-count farm that he
sold for a cold million dollars; and about
another farmer who refused an offer OF
million for a farm as worthless as
Rockers, because he was afraid you

and how the farm had reverted back to
its old value before the farmer had
reaped the crop. Within a year the
city had only seven qualified voters.

DRASTIC CENSORSHIP ACT

Gustavus Meyers in the Forum. ~
The admission of failure was not
made by any newspaper press. No such
thing as liberty Of the press existed.
To prevent criticism of it's acts or ex-
posture of conditions, the general court,
when the printing press threatened to
become Aggressive. passed stringent
censorship act. BY the law of October
8, 1862, the consent Of two censors-
and these were clergymen-had to be
first obtained before any copy of any
publication, whether pamphlet news
paper, broadside or book. was printed
This law was repealed on May ~, 1858,
but the next year, on October 10. 1854,
the censorship law Of 1862 was re-
stored and the power was vested in a
specified committee Of clergymen. Gem
sorship of the press remained until
well within the eighteenth century.
The failure Of it's repressive acts was
practically self-admitted by the general
court Of Massachusetts, in its numer-
ous preambles during the periodS hsf's
cited, as well as BY those legislatures

also that of Connecticut and other colo
