of the Dallas News, from Wantlond, "to

fora Jan. 10. Many operators Dellore
that it will go to $4 a barrell before
the end of 1920." It to not, Mr. Petit
writes, a case of wish being father to
the thought, but “the statistical poal-
ton of peroleum was never stronger.”
The demand for its products has out-
run production “and the ooet of devel-

Pennsylvania crudes touched the high-
unkind to reproduce from its “Twenty-
Five Years Ago” column this Colmer

Colmesnell.—Hon. J. H. Kirby spoke
in the Baptist church here today in be-

crime. He scouted the idea offered by
some that prohibition was undemo-

ernment was a government by the
people, it being a characteristic of re
publican forms of government that the
people—-not kings, nor princes, nor aa-

story of “Brother John" with a pathos
that brought tears to the eyes of many
of his hearers, and it was remarked
after the address that Mr. Kirby waa

the advance of the beet grade to as
high as $5 s barrel, beyond the state-
ment that expert opinion believed the
reserves too low. There has been a
material stiffening of the prices in the
Texas fields despite the increasing
production, and $3 a barrel probably
is, as Mr. Petit says, a matter of anly
a few days. The Standard Oil Com-

Mr. Palmer’s request to Congress
for a federal law to handle the “parfor
Bolshevists" deserves to be granted
immediately, tor with sufficient power
to secure the deportation of the alien
radicals, his hands are almost tied so
far as federal bows go to seeurias the
punishment of our own “radicals,” na-

Bolshevist” to of himself (or herself)
the least dangerous ot all trees of
Reds. But the campaigns of the more
dangerous Red elements have not only
been aided fleanciall, by the “parler”
_ members of the Red tribe, but they
have served to give some appearance
of respectability to what co long as
comprising aliens alone would have no
attraction to native-born or loyal alien-
born. Parlor Bolshevism has become
popular with a bunch of "Idle rich,"
simply as a pastime and because they
have nothing else worth while to do.
“To Jaded-minds and sated appetites
for excitement, Bolshevism has a car
tote appeal, and the term of “parlor
Bloshevist" was coined to. describe
those who are prone to join anything
that offers a fictitious spur to their
