This subject OF oil will inevitably,
however, remain a great subject Of
diplomacy. The struggle for essential
raw materials has had more to do
with diplomacy In the last half cen
fury than anything else.
Oil is the great new essential. We
are passing out OF the age of steam
into the age of oil. The active imagi-
nations of our big business men fore
see oil in a quarter of century or
less as directing the worlds course.
EXCITEMENT JUSTIFIED.
No wonder, then, that there has
been so much excitement about the
Colombia treaty and the Mesopotamia
situation. No wonder that we shall

"When the bonds were offered in the
European market, the German capital
lists sent two commissions Of experts
to this country to examine into the af-
fairs of the road and upon receiving
the reports of these commissioners
they declined to take part in the loan"
To summarize the rest of Martins
chapter on the Northern Pacific: Jay
Cooke & Co. advanced cash to the wild
cat promoters but couldn't sell enough
bonds to the American people to re-
coup for the advances. The result
was that the financial firm suspended
went bankrupt brought on a
panic. The railroads financial history
from then on was a story of ups and
downs. 1t went through bankruptcy
and it was many years before the
country built up sufficiently to furnish
it traffic enough to put it permanently
on it's feet. :,
This is only one incident in rail
road wildcatting that aroused the ire
of the farmers in the old days. The
farmers fight brought about the state
and government regulation of the rail-
roads and their rates, and laws abol-
ishing free passes and other forms of
graft by which the roads corrupted
courts and legislatures.

PUSHING BONDS

The farmer and labor committee of
Montana, in charge of putting over
Montana's quota Of the North Dakota
bond issues, publishes a periodical bull
letin to put "pep" into the work. The
current issue of the bulletin records
the fact that II labor unions of Miles
City have subscribed for the amount
Of bonds assigned them by the COM
mittee. The bulletin says:
'Aside from the fact that the mill
and elevator bonds. represent the most
profitable investment in the world, do
you know that thousands of citizens
believe that the important question at
issue is whether or not state may
put it's laws into effect without first
getting permission from the money
trust? Suppose the voters of North
Dakota lose confidence in the efficacy
of the ballot, what will happen? They
will refrain from voting and this will
result in the election of reactionary
tools who o>will repeal every progress
sive law now on the statute books.
Nor will the effects be limited to one
state. The enemies of progress can
always command a huge campaign
fund. Real Americans believe in of
the people, by the people, and for the
people,"

eff the bonds had been duly nego-

the New York Times, the case would
have stood just thus: A few specu-
lators would have subscribed 100000
and persuaded congress to build rail-
road for them worth so times that
amount out of the national estate. In
short time they would get back their
original investment in dividends.
Then they would be the absolute own
ers of 1000 miles of road, for which

which read: "Do not sign up and pay

fact that some of the daily news

ed by the successful uniting of the
farmers into the National Nonparti-
