cents a barrel. Today the price is $3.50 per barrel.
So long a.s the motor men keep up their ac-
tivity. oil men will make supreme efforts to extend
the oil fields. In other words, the oil blaine-- will
gel Ivigpr. It cannot get smaller. Great oil
corporations are leasing up enormous areas, look-
ing to the future, and before another year passes,
it seems safe to predict that the low-priced oil
leases of today will be unknown.
The motor industry that has forced the oil busi-
ness upward is of astonishing magnitud

THE WESTERN OIL DERRICKJSON^SALE ""
Jowii is the leading state in the per capita
ownership of automobiles. There are so many
cars in that tate that the entire population of
Iowa can ride in its own cars, all at the same time.
Nothing like it wa ever known.
And still we have a few timid people who be-
lieve that the motor business will play out. It
will—at about the same time that ships stop cross-
ing the ocean on account of the water having all
evaporated.

Vaudeville Shows
E are all agreed that the people must have
amusements. We are in accord that the-
iters should he encouraged. \nd we are
united in the idea that theaters must offer high
class amusements and entertainments.
Oklahoma t ity lia- a number of vaudeville
theaters. Some excellent acts are offered. Also,
some of the talking and singing acts are offensive.
Just why the managers permit such offensive
acts to be presented i- not understood by those
who delight in clean theatricals. Numerous re-
quests have been made by patrons to clarify the
acts engaged for the local vaudeville stages.
Apparently no attention was pa id to the requests.
The situation remind-* us of the conditions in
Oklahoma ( ity twenty year- ago. Sammy Samson
was secretary of tile saloon keepers' association.
Sammy was employed on account of the fact that
he did not drink. Mr. Samson told the local saloon
men that if tin \ did not reform their saloons that
the voters would do it for tlieni.
The saloon men laughed at Sanimv.
The saloons are -till running—NIT.
If tlx- local vaudeville managers don't reform
their theaters, llillv Sunday will be here in a couple
of weeks and he will reform the vaudeville the-
ater- for the managers, so that they will be saved
the trouble.
Bills Sunday will close every theater in this
town on the sabbath.

\\N men all over tbf land are forming: over-
all clubs, as a protest against the high price
of clothing. The movement is much like a
spasm. It goes to the extreme.
If the men would >how more sense, like some
of the men we know, and wear the old clothing, or
buy one suit a year instead of two, the manufac-
turers would be quickly reached, to the end that
!we would have more reasonable prices of the
things we wear.
j Overalls are hideous tilings for men to wear in
their business places. \\> have little sympathy
i for the movement, since the methods are clumsy
nd Wnnhtafton. and aimed at the speculator. Common -ense ap-
plied in the purchase of clothing would bring bet-
ter results than flash} parades by men clad in
ugly overalls. They are suitable for wear while
feeding the pigs, or in any other honorable work.
But thev are not suitable for business.

Hinton always ia interesting. I i
have been looking over some of the
political h tory of the last century. I
was profoundly impressed at reading
the history of the Democratic party.
As soon aa I get time I intend to read
the hist ii'v of the Republican party to
see what I can find. «
In looking over old books, f found a
copy of tlif- Democratic national plat-
form of 1800, only 120 years ago. This
is what I repd:
•\Ve "re opposed lo linking our-
selves by new treaties with the q?!*r-
rels of Rurcpe, entering their fields of
slaughter to preserve their balance, or
joining in the confederacy of kings to
war against the principles of liberty."
I wonder what the Democrats in
congress today think of the famous
Democratic platform of 1800!
—o—
Then 1 read along to 1872. In that
year the Democrats adopted a platform
containing the following plank.
"We record a thorough reform of
the civil service as one of the most
pressing necessities of the hour that
honesty, capacity and fidelity consti-
tute the only valid claims to public

Having lAarned a good deal, I took a
final look at the book by turning to
the platform of I860. Here is what it
said:
"Democratic principles are un-
changeable."
I have no comment to make ou this
last famous plank. I leave that for
Democrats to decide.
—o—
As the time draws near for the Re-
publican convention to pick a leader,
the scene changes. There was a time
when Hiram. Johnson looked like he
had a big following. But it happened
that some of the national Republican
leaders looked up Mr. Johnson's record,
and what they found caused conster
nation "all i.long the line.
It seems that Hiram Johnson was
one of the men who led the big revolt
jin 1912 that split the Republican party
and let the Democratic party get into

Arbitrary favoritism and patronage: |
and that a public station shall become
a post of honor. To this end. it is im-
peratively demunded that no president
shall become a candidate for re-elec-
tion."
That makes rather hot reading to-
more Republican voters in the United
States than there were Democratic
voters.
Senator Hiram Johnson joined the
bolters, helped* to defeat the Republi-
can party, and ran for vice president
on the revolutionary ticket. And-
now he asks; the party to give him the

which has aroused much interest this
past week.
If the sand reported encountered in
this well proves productive almost un-
imaginable possibilities are opened up
for the parts of Burkburnett which
have been condemned as dry for some
time, and a new productive horizon
will be opened up for this district
There has been a number of tests
drilled to 2,000 feet and abandoned as
dry throughout the county, and the dis-
trict, as well as close to this test, but
so far very few teats below 2,100 feet
have been made in any section.
Lee and associates bought the hole
in block 81 from Adams. Brown et ah,
some time ago and expressed their
intention to drill it deeper, stating that
they believed oil would be found
turther down. They have been drill-
ing with a star rig. Casing was set
around 1750 in the hole before the
drilling was resumed.
The testing of this reported sand
will provide highly interesting de-
velopments, and will re-direct atten-
tion to the eastern edge of the Wag
goner, which may possibly stage some
such a comeback as has the western

THERE may be a few people who cannot yet comment:
understand why the oil industry grows so fast.
for rtie benefit of snrh people, it may be •stat-
ed that there are more than 7,000,000 motor cars
runnrtifT the I nited States at tlit' present time.
Rafh one requires much gasoline and a great
quantity of lubricating oil. That is why extra-
ordinary demand is made on the production of
crude petroleum.
The demand for oil products is gaining at such
a rate that difficult i-- ■ \perieiurd in developing
nil fields fast enough to keep up with that dr
mand. The developing of new «.il wells is a slower
process.
So, the demand has stimulated prices of oil.

invited to do so by the -tinc\ price >f crude oil.

Taking a Chance
THIS C0UUtr\ has taken its position a* leader
in world affairs on account of the fact that our
people were not afraid to take a chance.
Of bourse, there have been losses along the
j way. But, balancing all, the United States made
gains never before known along development and
i constructive line-. If the pioneers otthis country
had never taken a chance, the United States would
not amount to much.
It darinp men had not taken chances in south-
: western oil fields the world would be at a stand-
still, as there would not be enough oil to run our
j engines and ships and factories.
This is the age of chances. Then man who
takes no chances makes no impress on progress
In the current issue of the Saturday Evening Post,
: the world's greatest magazine, we find this vigor
day. Th" Democrats of that
firmly believed that only men of
paclt.v should be appointed to > public
cffice. T'mes have changed, since an
editor was selected to be secretary
of the navy. Just what happened in
connection with heading the post
office department is too well known
to be mentioned by mee.
Then I read the Democratic plat-
form of 1896. Here to the principal
plank in that platform.
"We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to 1."
Do Democrats still want that kind
of coinage?
Then I read the Democratic plat-
form of 2 Here i6 what it said.
"We favor a single presidential
term, and w* pledge the nominee of
this convention to carry oat this plat-
year biggest political position in the world!
I think I hear Republican voters
gritting their teeth and watching for
the chance to vote against Mr. Hiram
Johnson. If any delegate has the
courage to vote for Hiram Johnson at
Chicago, he has my sympathy.

Empire Well Now
Big Money Maker
DUNCAN, Okla., April 24. —The
Empire well has shown a considerable
gahi in pioduction over the first
week's flow. In the first twelve days
11,000 barrels were run into the pipe
lines, and It is estimated that prob-
ably 6,000 barrels remained in the pits
and in tanks. The average daily pro
duction is estimated at 1,250 barrels.
Twenty derricks are going up in the
vicinity of the Empire well. There
is now a long string of derricks reach-
ing from the well to the Comanche
wells, eight miles southeast.
Preparations for operations on a
large scale are under way. During
three days six rotary rigs were moved
into the field. Leases have increased
in price, and many have changed
hands.
it will be a gloomy day for the country
when people become so cautious and their
action- so standardized that no one is will-
ing to build a new machine or devise a
new process or drill a new oil well—on a
chance.
