When we may expect shale to under
go the change from potential to pro-
ductive wealth will depend on the de-
mand for petroleum products N the
supply to meet hat demand. Com
mercial development is therefore as
sured when the curve of consumption
cuts the curve of domestic and import
ed production. That time cannot be
many years in the future, since govern
,nent figures show that the United
States has been dependent since 1914
on imported oils from Mexico to sup
ply the existing. deficiency between
domestic production and consumption.
The government long g realized that
some day our great oil pools would be
depleted aid as a possible substitute

Buffalo Buses

TN Buffalo the traction interests
are in a desperate fight to
i prevent the development of
municipal buses. In crowded cities
these are destined to replace the
obsolete trolleys.
For five weeks the Buffalo pub
lie has endured Inconvenience and
suffering from a strike that has
tied up its street car system, the
international Railway Company.
The city has granted jitney
licenses to over 1000 private motor
vehicles. At the mayors sugges-
tion the City Council has asked
permission Of the public Service
Commission to operate municipal
bus lines.
Of course, the traction lawyers
are opposing the petition; they de-
mand even that the jitneys be with
drawn.
If the strike ties up the street
cars long enough to allow the estab-
lishment of an adequate fleet of
municipal buses, it will be to Buff
falo a blessing in disguise.
The modern city has no room on
its streets for cars running on fixed
rails. We are not willing to be
burdened with the vast overhead
and operating costs of this out
grown form of transportation.
In London, Paris and other Eu-
ropean cities, where problems of
street congestion appeared before
they did here, the street car has
long since been discarded for the
cheaper and more mobile motor
bus, which can wind in and out of
traffic.
Buffalo is going to learn that
buses are not a temporary but a
permanent relief from the bad serv-
ice and extortion of the traction
monopoly.

Such a man is II. P. Whitney,
father of young boy, recently dis
cussed in the newspapers.
This, briefly, is the story as it is
known: The young man became

pens to be very rich, and suit fof
"breach of promise" is threatened
There is a good deal of discussion
privately, and the substance Of it
all is, "SETTLE, Or" What
follows the "or" is USUALLY a
settlement. Then nothing is heard
until the next interesting case
comes along.
Various things MIGHT be said
about the latest case of juvenile
kidnapping by an experienced lady.
1t may be said that boys are fool
ishly brought up, parents forget
that young MANHOOD, so-called,
plus plenty of money, is really the
worst period of BABYHOOD. Par
ents and others forget also that
they are respc cnsible fo, the sur
roundings of their children, the
entertainment" provided for
them, etc.
But all that does not interest the
public.
The principal thing is that, in
plain English, Mr.. Whitney has evil
IDENTIFY refused, as a matter of pub
lie spirit and duty, TO SUBMIT
TO EXTORTION. In other words,
he has NOT SETTLED.
For him to have signed his name
to a check for $4,000, or $25O,00O,
or whatever might have seemed
appropriate to the lady and the
lawyer on the other side, would
have been easy, and far less dis
agreeable than resistance and pub
lcity.
Mr.. Whitney has set an example
to rich fathers of rich boys, and has

Why Brag About IT.?

A N admiralty lawyer signed as
IA an ordinary seaman on board
"A an ocean liner the other day
in order to ascertain for himself
how sailors are treated on board
ship. An admiralty lawyer, you
know, has to deal with all those
cases in which sailors complain that
the captain or the mate kicked
them into the lee scuppers on the
high seas.
The funny part of the thing is
that the lawyer gave out an inter
view before he sailed and told just
what he expected to do. Now do
you imagine for moment that
there will be any cruelty on board
that ship while the lawyer is in the
fo c 'slef
Fat chance.
The captain and the mate, hav-
ing read the lawyers interview,
are more likely to drop in among
the crew between watches and ask
them if they care to join in a game
of pinochle or have a little dance.
Or, perhaps, give them copies of
Burke's Essay on the Sublime and
Beautiful to read.
The sailor who, they feel, is de-
serving Of kick in the stats is
going to get his on the next trip
when there is no lawyer on board.

Fifth Estate
Is the Movie
IN HE four estates, as they are
found in modern democracies,


found in modern democracies,
i may be listed as the executive.
including kings, presidents, armies,
navies and the like; the legislative,
including parliaments, senates, con-
crosses and all other bodies of law
makers; the judicial and the press,
which operates to express public
opinion.
The Fifth Estate is the movie.
The, word movie is the peoples
word, strong, rich and vivid, much
better than such pretentious terms
as cinema or photoplay.
The thing itself is especially pop
ular and ought to have a popular
name.
1t ranks along with the street
car and the customs office as being
a place of pure democracy. No man
is any better than another.
AS a rule there is nothing like
rented pew or reserved seat in the
f-aovie theater. 1t is first come first

1t is an interesting phase o..
triumph of the commons to see a.
classes Of people all over the worl,
creeping into common hall TO
two hours of crepuscular enjoy
ment.
The movie appeals to the sim
plest and most universal interest
of mankind.
One blessed thing it accomplishe,
is to relieve us from the plague o
literature, and give us human &C
tion stripped to the bone.
Attempts have been made by am
bilious managers to give themselve
airs as producers Of super-films ant
charge fancy prices. But the film
world has kept free from snobbery
The highbrow and art for art I
sake gentlemen have not had very
good success in this field. The pub
lie insists on patronizing the film
that tells a good story, is full ot
action and sticks close to the prim
tive motives Of humanity.
In no other realm of theatrica
production is it so true that "tht
plays the thing"
One possibility Of the movie
which puts it in line with modern
ideas is that it is essentially inter.
national. France and Italy enjoy
Charlie Chaplin. A story from
Spain is welcomed by an audience
in Denver.
So the movie may have an i'm
portant place in the great move
ment to reduce the narrowness of
nationalisms and to teach the people
Of all races and tongues that they
are essentially brothers.
