Texas produced more crude petroleum
in 1905 than has ever been credited to
a tingle state in one year 50,400,000
barrels. California's output fiom its oil
fields in 1904 was 29,600,000 barrels,
taking first place up to that time. The
1905 output in Texas was an increase of
8,000,000 barrels over Texas' record in
1904.
Where an individual, a grange or a
community really desires to have a lib
rary nothing can long be an obstacle1
The start may be a humble and even un
promising one, but the thirst for know
ledge will discover a way to be satisfied.
One grange of less than 20 members
started with a $2 gift from each member
and at meetings took a penny collection
for 'ibrary purposes. In this simple way
it grew to have more than 160 volumes'
of well selected literature. Another!
started with gifts of chickens which were
sold to buy books. Such starts as these !
are sure to be productive of much good j
because the desire has prompted some ',
slight sacrifice to secure its object. j

SOME STA'tRlSULFS
Leading Democratic paper do not find
much ground for encouragement in the
recent State elections and primaries.
The most important of these is the Ver
mont election, in which Fletchrr D. Proc
tor (Rep ) son of Senator Proctor, was
elected Governor by a majority of some
15.000 over Percival W. Clement, who
ran as an independent Republican, in
dorsed by the Democrats. In its bearing
on the fall campaign there 19 "no comfort"
in this election for the Democratic party,
admits the New York World (Dem); and
the Brooklyn Eagle (Dem.) thinks it indi
cates that the Republicans are "safely in
the saddle." So far as Vermont election
has any natioral signiticarce, agrees the
New York Times (Dem.), "it shows that
the party alinement holds good and that
the Democrats have made no progress
in regaining public confidence." Some of
the Democratic papers, however, recall
the the fact that only once in the past
twenty five years has the country failed
to go Democratic in November when the
Republican majority in Vermont has fal
len below 25.000. or failed to go Repub
lican when the'rnajority has risen above
that figuie. The present majority faiis
10.000 short of the required 25. COO.
Unless taiss:gn tails, therefore, they ar
gue. November.'will see a Democratic
Congress elected.
Another interest ng political feature 0;
the week was the defeat of Senator La
Follette's candidate tor the Republican
gubernatorial nomination in Wisconsin, in
the first trial of the very primary law
which the Senator had given the state
as a safeguard against boss rule. The
New York Evening Mail (Rep.) thinks
perhaps the Wisconsin voters took this
way of reminding La Folletle that he is
getting to be something of a boss him
self. In the Maine campaign most attention
was attracted by a speech of Secretary
Taft. in which he declares that the issue
of a Congressional campaign this fall is
President Roosevelt himself. It is con
sidered likely that this speech will be
widely circulated as a campaign docu
ment After speaking of the President's
policy and the importance of electing a
Congress in harmony with the Executive,
Mr. Taft continued:
" It is, therefore, just and fair to say
that the issue of the present campa gn
does net involve merely the approval or
disaprova! of Mr. Roosevelt's policy but
it involves the question whether that
policy shall be carried to a successsful
issue, or shail be defeated by a vote of
want of confidence.
"It has been suggested at times, as if
it were a ground for criticizing the Re
publican party and the Congressmen who
now go back to their constituents for a
judgement upon their course, that they
propose to make Mr. Roosevelt the issue
in this campa gn. They do propose the
issue; not in what he has said, but in
what he has done and what the party
has upheld him in doing. The Republican
majority in the Serate nave loyally ac
cepted Mr. Roosevelt's leadership, have
approved his recomer.datlons, and have
stood by him in formu'atirg into legisla
tion that when should enable him to
carry out his p:l;cy.
