The city authorities have taken the
right atand In suppressing the' Hal
lowe'en marauders. The system of
turning the town other end up on the
list of October is one which years
ago should have been prohibited.
There can be no earthly reason for
allowing ft few misguided youths and
half-grown vandals to destroy proper
ty and cause inconvenience simply be
cause the day is marked on the crl
ndar as All Saints' night. The pol:.e
should have the moral support and
' co-operation of evfry good citizen. .
There are many serious sides and
numerous sad and pathetic Incidents
connected with the failure of a bank,
but perhaps the most deplorable feat
ure Is the destruction of the confidence
which we hold, one for the other.
Eliminate from the people that ele
ment of confidence which they repose
In one another, and there Is but little
to hold the community or the nation
together.. .:v --''.

ductiveness of the Vale field, and all
unite in saying that the oil la there In
paying quantities and that it la only
a question of reaching the oil strata
to obtain the oil. One expert says that

four wilf be "gushers." ' .
