Cmb's Oil Advance
Appears Exhausted

NEW YORK. Dec 10.-The adj
vsnces in crude oil and petroleum prod
ucts since the beginning OF Septem-
Der had apparently exhausted their
influence as a market factor IN direct
ing trading in the petroleum stocks
dealt in on the New York Curb Elk
change. These issues generally were
in supply during the past week with
substantial losses sustained in many
OF the most active stocks in this group.
The widest movement in the domestic
shares was In Cities Service which
ranged from 2le TO 2l1. International
Petroleum showed strength early in
the week when reports about Stand
ard OIL participation in its develop
ment were effective In helping an sd-
vance to l7it. but the stock was sup
piled IN large volume from that level
and declined to 1sA toward the end
OF the week. Maracaibo was also
strong during the first half Of the
week ranging from 23h to 2sl1. fol-
lowed by a reaction to 24s. Similar
movements occurred in some OF the
lower-priced issues. Simms Petroleum
after advancing from 12I dropping to
lo%. and Salt Creek reacted from
14k TO 13&. Tidal Usage ranged from
14i4 to II. Y Oil and Gas, one Of the
low-priced stocks, was under pro-
nounced pressure and had sharp
decline.

A pR0FITLEss DEBATE.

The controversy between General
Pershing and Samuel Gompers relat-
ing 20 what was said by them at The
Lafayette Marine dinner should be OF
brief duration. Mr.. Gompers exploited
with special emphasis the war record
oi the American Federation of Labor,
and General Pershing objected 10 diff
fcrentiation of any sort. strongly pro-
testing against IL. lie declared that
citizens who inherited their patriotism
from their forefathers and citizens
who have adopted our institutions as
their own made it possible to win tho
war and that It was about time for
somebody to say these citizens shall
govern the country--that IL shall not
be governed by organizations having
their own selfish ends to serve.
In statement publ shed this morn
ing MIR. Gompers alleges testiness. inn
and lack OF tact on the part
of the General and disclaims having
said anything TO the effect that Labor
won the war, taking occasion TO add
that Labor made magnificent record.
unsurpassed anywhere. lie asserts
his intention to repeat this whenever
1t seems to be opporture or necessary.
and he will probably keep his word.
Genel al Pershing should not return
TO the charge because IL would be
topeless fer him to undertake to cor
rect willful obliquities of vision which
seem 20 Ice becoming incurablc. They
have caused Mr.. Gompers 10 see that
millions of men have been thrown out
of employment by individuals whom
he declares to be In control of the
country. politically. industrially and
commercially. They have caused him
to see a gigantic move to set up an
autocracy the objective of which is
the enslavement of the worhingman,
and what they will cause him to see
next will soon be known because dis
coveries come thick and fast They
should go unchallenged lest con-
troversy multiply them.--Brooklyn

HARDiNG's SELECTIONS.

Mr.. Harding can have no claim "a
immunity from criticism In this mat.
ter but the criticism must be some
thing better than mere fauit-finding
1t must be directed toward the
achievement of the objects for which
the conference has been called.
II is proper enough In that cunnec-
tion TO censure the appointment Of
Senator Lodge as the second member
OF the American delegation, for Lodge
In at best a Iukewarm advocate Of the
limitation Of armament. and his Bit
ter attacks on the Japanese govern
ment. repeating the Hearst propoRan-
da. wholly disaualify him as an
American representative ia adjusting
the differences between the United
Etates and japan in the Pacific and
the Far East.
The selection Of Mr.. Root, however.
would merit unqualified praise and
support from all Democrats who want
the conference TO succeed. Mr.. Root
meets every requirement. He Is the
Eestor of American diplomatist. lie
understands the questions involved.
As Secretary of state he entered into
the first ''gentiemen's agreement
with japan, and he would have the
confidence OF the delegations from
every other government participating
I'm the conference Mr.. Root belongs IN
any discussion OF the Pacific and the
Far East and the limitation of arna-
ment MIR. Lodge does not.
The Democrats have nothing 10 gain
from the failure of the Washington
conference and they would have much
to lose by oJstructlng II. The aues-
ton is too big for ordinary party noli-
tics, and it would be a scandal IL the
Democrats in Congress were to adopt
the tactics of Lodge and the Senate
Republicans toward the Treaty of YER
sailles and the covenant Of the League
of Nations That is prostitutlng vital
foreign relations to the level OF ward
politics.

sentB in Its broadest aspects the fight

SOULS IN PRISON.

II can't express myself" we hear
people say, sometimes in the throes
of a fierce Indignation that struggles
for an outlet in language.
Some one has called music Love in
search of a word" A novel about
music has the title Where Speech
Ends"
Such expressions as these bear wit
ness to the want that each of us has
felt from time to time to make our
audible.
Prayer came because the soul had
to find an outlet skyward; and pro-
family is prayer upside down.
Most books that are worth reading
are written because the writer had
something he felt constrained to utter.
The tragedy among writers in Russia
today is that they have to consume
their own smoke when their imagina-
tions are. afiame. 1t is no use 20 look
tor a publisher. Only the official
tractates of bolshevism have any
chance of finding their way into print.
1T is more than exhibitive personal
vanity that. leads one to learn the
violin, the piano, the art of song.a a
stronger incentive is the yearning to
give expression to the silert, stifled
feelings.
We cannot express ourselves to
everybody. Some audiences of one
| or even of thousands-are congenial j:
others are cold, and we are mute. We
feel bottled up" in the presence OF
those who misconstrue. We feel that
we shall only have our trouble for
cur pains If we speak. So we say
nothing
The very clothes we wear are a
mode of self-expression. Our houses
and our habits are tongues eloquent
TO tell others what we are. The action
louder than the word brings to con-
fusion our most elaborate artifiee for
hiding our intentions or our essen
tial character.
