Mn. CORAY has been for
five teims a member of
the rennsjlvanla leglsla
tuie and theio hasn t been
a moment In that time when he wasn't
stroncly objecting to something As an
objector he is without doubt the most
conspicuous Mice.ss that the politics of
Pennsylvania has jet pioduced; but
the biogiaphcr who se.nches thtough
his public letord for data of affirma
tive achievement w ho looks for tiaces
of some legislative enactment which
beais the (Vnay impress of tonstruct
Ive statesmanship or of some coneieto
evidence that his habitual scolding has
affected piactlcal icsults discovers
little that Is wotth the effoit. The
record on this side Is barren.
It Is not difficult to win a reputation
by the process of Ingenious fault-finding,
and Mr. Coray's methods exhibit
-onsiderable ingenuity. But It Is usual
ly an ephemeral reputation. People in
time tire of a rhetoilc.il diet of political
biliousness and long for more substan
tial achievements. The hailequlns of
"rtform" in our state have found Mi.
Coray's gifts of sarcasm and Invective
temporarily useful In their plottlngs foi
place and power: and thiough their
newspapers they have been liberal in
'heir administrations of eibal taffy.
But lnieeS not be feared that they
meditate 'conferring more ubsianlal
erogiiliion'. Mr. Coiay would be much
too civjlieal. pessimistic and incorrig
ble lif public ofllce to constitute the
lnd of official they would care to ele.
fate if they had the power. That spirit
jf perverse eaptlousness which they
low applaud when leveled by him at
'he organization would soon lose Its
harm If aimed at themselves; and Mr.
wOray Is Just the kind of man to be
ilvays..Mdgln the government."
The Coray state treasuienshlp boom
:an therefore, be dismissed. It Is mere

The seconfl-clasH mall matter now
embraces -neaily three-fourths of tho

yet It brings In a revenue of less than

tal revenues of moiethan $110,000,000.
While It aggreeates 'threc-fotu ths of
the weight. It contributes only about
one-thirtieth of the revenue. To handle
and cry the second-class matter
:ost fully 560,000,000 a year above
.vhat the government leeelves for
handling and carrying It. This extra-
ordlnnry loss grows largely out of
abuses which have crept In gradually
and which the law never contempla
ted; and Poitniastcr General Smith Is
about to try his hand nt administering
practicable teniedle. It Is to be
hoped that he wilt be nble to draw
tho lino fairly between merit and
fraud. This Is not as eaty as It looks.

5untlny Observance nnd Law.
-"m: uxpi:mi:.Ncn which
I Pittsburg H undergoing
-L through the purpose of Its
lecoider, Major A. M
Brown, to effect a Rtrleter enforce
ment of the Sunday laws, more es
pecially of the so-called Blue Laws of
1791, Is of general Interest, since the
conditions In Pittsburg are not mater
ially dllToient fiom those piev.ilent In
most large titles moio than two gener
ations old.
Soon after his qualification as re
coider. Major Hi own issued an older
to the dliector of public safety In
foiuilng 111 in and, through him, the
polite, that It was the lecotder's tle
slie th.it the laws lor the safeguarding
of Sunday should be enfoiced strictly
and Impartially. This wise general
principle Immediately tlev eloped con
fusion as to details. The Blue Laws,
roughly sununnilzed, outlaw all tran
sactions on Sunday which are not
"woikst of necessity or chuiity." What
are "woiks of necessity or charity,"
Judged fiom a twentieth century
standpoint?
The nimver came fiom the recoider
in a general way, th.it all Sunday
business provocative of public tllsor
dei must bo -stopped; nnd the superin
tendent of police added: "All Ice
cream pallors, lemonade stands, ie
fri'.shnient booths of all kinds all over
the city will have to close. Ding
stores may sell soda water, soft thinks
and drugs. That is the limit for
them" ruder the law the "diesslng
of victuals" In 'houses of enteitaln
ment" Is permitted, and the cry forth
with arose that Ice cieam, soda water
and lemonade constituted "victuals"
within the meaning nf the act. The
Commercial-Gazette, n lepiesentatlve
and conservative paper, indoised It by
saying:
'The piohlhitton of sales nt booths
or in Ice citani parlors seems aimed
dliectly at the people who go to the
paiks on Sunday. In the public parks
In eveiy other city In the countiy
theio aie spacious and well-appointed
icstauiants wheie the people may go
to get meals or icfiesh themselves
with lie tieam nnd cake. On the af
ternoon of Sunday, the people's rest
day, the broad pinches of those ies
t. mi ants aie uowded with happy
family panics. In the Pittsburg
paiks visitors can haidlv get decent
water to think. In default of decent
municipal provision for pavilions and
icstauiants in the paiks themselves,
venders have gatheied about the park
appioaches, and these, aceoidlng to
repoit. aie niaikeil out for suppies
slon. Those booths nnd shanty-par-lois
aie not attiactlve sunoundlngs
for the parks, but the fault Is with
municipal nutlioiity, which has been
shamefully lemlss In not providing for
the election of Miltable lestaurauts in
the parks themselves. Carriage peo
ple, enjoying the parks drives, may
stop tit the country clubs and got
what they want. What Is needed Is
piovislon for the masses of the peo
ple, and theio Is teason to fear that
the polite aie using the law to op
press the very classes who deserve
the gieatest consideration. It would
be n piece of Ingenious ciuelty to deny
to the masses of the people, who do
not happen to belong to country clubs,
the opportunity to get a cooling drink
while taking an outing on a hot .Sun
day. And, while simple and liaimlt-ss
pleasuies aie put under the ban,
everyone knows that there aie plenty
of Illicit resoits, which, Instead of
dealing hi Ice eieam and soda water,
do a i oaring Sunday trade In liquor."
The' retail druggists sent a iepie
sentative to learn fiom the recoider
what the drug stoies were expected
to do. He reported that th- recoider
admitted the necessity of the drug
stoies being open on Sunday, but ald
they would not be permitted to sell
cigars. A resolution was thereupon
adopted which binds the druggists, to
stop the sale of clgais on Sunday.
This Is as far as the movement has
proceeded as yet. Its neM step, It Is
understood, will be to suppiess the
sale of liquor In houses of Ill-fame on
Sunday. On Saturday night the li
censed saloons of PitMburg close
promptly at 11! o'clock: but the .sale
of liquor Is then meicly tiansferred
from places which pay n, license to
places which contiibute nothing to tho
community but disease and scandal,
and It goes on within these disorderly
houses throughout Sunday with little
hindrance. Gambling, too, of the pro
fessional type, with all kinds of de
vires for fleecing the unvvniy, Is a
Sunday vocation in certain places, and
the real objective of Recorder Brown
Is to put tho damps of the law as
tightly on these vicious practices as
It Is possible to do without provoking
a leactlon to a condition of "wide
open" vice.
This qualification Is important, and
extremists often Ignore It to their own
tapld undoing. Elective government
Is never Ideal, but nearly always
average. Tho people who nre way up
are counterbalanced by those who are
way down In the moral and social
scale, giving the. balance of power to
the medium class. This class opposes
violence and dlsoider, hut Is not, as a
Mile, enthusiastic over tho outlawing
of Ice cream nnd soda water selling
on Sunday, and soon votes out tho
goveiment which fusses too much
over the gnats while swallow Ins the
camels of Sunday dcseciatlon.
Testimony as to tho pitiable plight
of the Boer women and chlMicn whom
tho British In South Africa havo con
centrated In porly equipped detention
ramps Is accumulating rapidly and
roines from sources not to be scouted.
Whatever the nillltHry motive of this
reconcentrntlon policy or Its apparent
Justification on tho scoie of twisting
necessity, the fact lemalus that the
growing death list nnd filghtftil suf
feilngs of these non-combatant vic
tims of wnr should admonish the Brit
lsh government to put forth Its utmost
mercy. It has by no means done that
jet.

To Wage Earners
and Others of
Moderate Income
Do not spend our money foolishly
because you have no little of It, but
save whut you can from month to
month nnd Invest It In something that
will multiply many fold. The mil
lionaires of this section were laboring
me-n a generation ago nnd they pur
sued this course while most of their
comrades blew It all In. The pru
dent ones saw that fuel was a good
thing, that tho world had to have
It. and they bought coal land, a little
at a time as they could s-pare It. and
it has made them rich, and their fami
lies live and will live In the greatest
comfort, while the descendants ot
their Imprudent comiades are labor
ing as their fatheis did for dayl
vv ages
Keep this object lesson In mind.
The opportunities of that cailler time
weie In coal, toddy gieater 'opportuni
ties e.vlst In oil. which Is fuel In a
moie conctete form and Is rapidly
supplanting coal, because It Is easier
nnd cheaper to mine nnd handle, and
Is, besides being a mora economic
fuel for all large consumers, profit
able for a hundred other uses. The
oil of California Is furnishing that
state with cheap fuel, for the lack of
which her progress has been woefully
retaitlcd. Tho entire Pacific coast
will consume oil ns a fuel, so that
the demand upon the oil fields of Call
fornU Is unlimited. California oil
reflno-3 will hold the mathets of the
far East and of the west coast of
South America. It Is plain to be seen
that the oil fields of California will
be the soutce of Incalculable wealth,
far beyond what the coal mines of
Tennsylvanla have been In the past.
All thoughtful men can see that the
thing to do now to make money Is
to buy the shares of conservative, re
putably managed oil companies hav
ing Inrge holdings of undoubted oil
lands secured nt low prices, and only
requlilng development to become the
source of enoimous revenues for
shoipholders.
The PACIFIC COAST AND TEXAS
Oil. COMPANY has In the most Im
portant oil fields manageis of ability
and Integilty and of the highest prac
tical qualifications for their business,
and the shares of this company ate
today, without doubt, the best Invest
ment obtainable. These shares would
be cheap at 4"c, but are selling for
the time being at 20c per share, to
procure monev to bore the first wells.
The price is hiiro to advance rapidly
to keep pace with the developments
on the company's lands and on ad
joining lands. The maiket value of
the lands Is constantly advancing. Do
not delay making an Investment In
this Mock. As to the value of this
oil property and the character and

Here is an opportunity for some ambitious young people to
earn the best college education without a gteat amount of effort,
and it is an opportunity that may never be repeated. The Trib
une may find the returns much less than the expense and would
then be unable to again make such generous offers. Such a con
