Tesas oil was looked to for relief in the way of fuel, but according to reports even the fiery elements are playing Into the hands of the trusts A move Is on for the development of ;the Kentucky oil industry. This may meet with opjtositlon down ;i there, as this is another liquid that M the Kentuckian is not much given to using. Texas couldn't stir up an earth quase or volcanic eruption, or a strike, so she gave a little Imitation of Mount Pelee at Beaumont yester day. But from the way Texas papers have been blowing she has oil to burn. President Roosevelt does not be lieve in going In debt. He will ad vise little Cuba to steer clear of debt. He thinks if she should involve her self as her congress desires that it would result In the ruin of the new government. Nations may be ruined by going in debt the same as Individ uals. The destruction of human lives, the forests and valuable property In Western Washington by fire is a re minder of the fact that with all of the precautions against permitting flres to spread in the Northwest Pa cific forests, yet millions of dollars worth of property is destroyed annu ally by the carelessness of unthink ing people. And now the children at the seat of the Pennsylvania mining trouble have gone on a strike. They refuse to attend school with the non-union children. When children are permit ted to engage in such nonsensical ri diculousness it causes the more liber al to lose some of the sympathy they have entertained for the parents of the children. And now the railroads would enter Into a scheme to starve mlnere Into submission. The trust and its octo-pus-Ilke limbs reach out In many di rections and the one within its tolls can expect but little else than to be crushed. But as Is said about the roaring Hon, there Is One greater than he, and this One may some day take a hand in earthly things. Until that time it is evident that the trusts and the father of trusts will hold the oards. Sam's public domain when they had the opportunity. If Shakespeare, when he put the words, "Let the galled jades wince, our withers are unwrung," Into Ham let s mouth, nad known how many country editors would quote It when they imagined they had roasted a contemporary' in a sly way, he would never have used the expression. It is getting to be a common thing to see an expression like this, penned by the nervous hand of some heavy weight: "We have more than double the circulation of any paper in the north end of this county; now let the galled jades wince!" Or. "We have the exclusive telegraph service of this city; all others use grapevine; now let the galled jades wince!" The fellow that writes such rot is doing the "wincing," or he would not think of writing It. - The sad case reported from Echo of a poor harvest hand drifting Into the place, the subsequent death of his wife, and lils child now lying at death's door, and at the same time the family stricken by the hand of want, is another illustration that too many people fail to think of the com ing rainy day. There are cases of poverty and suffering which cannot be helped or provided against, but there are but few men, who looking back over their lives, cannot see where they could have laid something by for the encergencles, such as arise in the lives of nearly all people at some stage in their Uvea. Another point was also illustrated by the good people at Echo. There is no case so severe, or so friendless that the Western people will not come to the relief when once they know that help is needed, " GULLIBLE PEOPLE. When the American boasts at all. he generally boasts of shrewdness. There is a widespread belief among us that we are the "smartest people" on eaith. If the officials of tic X n icd States postofflce aro to be believed, we are as a people far trom being level-headed on a trade. On the con trary, we have among us the largest and most varied assortment of gul lible people to be found on the globe. The postofflce detectives are kept busy tring to keep rascals from rot bing us of our eye teeth, not by Tic lence, but by the simple trick of ad vertising to give a gold brick in ex change for the teeth. In a recent review of the subject in the Philadelphia Times, one of the postofflce authorities is quoted as saying: "Notwithstanding the fact that we are generally credited with being a newspaper reading nation, I am often tempted to believe that there must be many millions of Intel-1 ligent persons in tho United States i who never so much as glance at even j the headlines of a newspaper.

' ... i The most successful of all frauds are schemes for stock speculation. The postoftlce department receives a continual stream of letters from per sons who have been swindled by self styled "Investment ngents." It has been found impossible to suppress frauds of that kind, no matter how often they are broken up and tempor arily interrupted. In explanation of the difficulty, the writer says: "The game Is too easy for them, aud they arc fully aware of the great difficulty found in convicting them. As soon as one 'brokerage' firm that carries! on Its business entirely by mall ls smashed, the men who have been) successfully conducting it. simply' move down another block and open , up another 'brokerage' 6f!lce under 1 another name.

A very neat scheme for ridding thei fool of his money was devised by a, Boston man, who sent out circulars to ' the effect that be had obtained a number of "lucky stones" in India,' and was willing to dispose of them for $1 each. He found lots of buyers. Money was almost raining on him, when the postofflce Interfered. The people who are gulled In this way are not Ignorant, neither are they poor. When the "turf bureau") man's office was raided it was found that hundreds of Intelligent people t were senuing mm money to uet on the race;, and In some cases the sums amounted to as much as $500 for a single bet. An acount book found in bis office disclosed that he had taken In S4G5.000. A good deal of difficulty is found In convicting the more clev i er of the rascals because they take great precautious In drawing up their circulars.
