In fact, Judge Parker laid that It was not only a mistake, >ut an Injustice, to the Democrats of he North to think that they would not lupport a Southern man for the presllency, and that If a Southern-man of ligh character and recognized ability ihould be nominated he would receive he loyal and zealous support of New fork Democrats and would command is many votes as a candidate from iny other section.

Judge Paul Albers, of Breslau, Germany, has published on article on the subject of "The Oath," in which he takes a strong stand against the prevailing custom of administering an oath to persons who are called upon to testify In courts of Justice. The writer tells of the changes which hnve made In the manner of taking the oath and how, In order to make the ceremony Impressive, various methods had to be employed for Catholics, Protestants and Jews. All this he contends, has no effect because the good' man tells the truth and the bad man tells what he likes, oath or no . oath. "r lv' I be deep sand.

Modern Cars Are Wanted. BERLIN, July 17.?The successful flight of the balloon Hatrie, the first craft of Its kind built for the French government, which sailed over Paris a few days ago, under perfect control, has brought about an extensive discussion in German newspapers, with frequent allusions to Germany's being behind France In the matter of air navigation. Major Von Parseval recently was permitted to resign from the army to become airship engineer and study the subject for airships thoroughly, and a company was organized at the Emperor's suggestion. Major Van Parseval says that the German Army is in no position to show aeronautic success equal to that of the French army. "The French had five years the start of us in experimenting with airships adaptable to war," he declared. "Now, however, we, too, are working energetically on an airship suitable for war purposes." The general staff here has not taken much interest in air navigation as nn auxiliary in war until recent months, or rather since the Emperor began to show an interest, which eventually brought about contributions from several Berlin capitalists for the purpose of investigating the subject and or ganizmg a company uuu uu uppiupi mlion from the Reichstag to assist Count Ferdinand Zeppelin In his airship experiments. Intelligence has reached the general staff thht France has between '50 and 00 balloons, made by the Lebaudy brothers, already In their frontier depots. The question of airships has been discussed within the last tbreo months'In the most serious manner by various publlp men, especially ?by Rudolph tyartln, formerly an official In the department of the Interior, who In a brochure Just Issued speculates on the airship as Germany's future ORAFTOX. My Is a posBlblity there may be some.important developments In the "wpy of oil and gas in this section ?of the State in a very short time if the action of the South Penh Oil Company, which is one ot the branches of the Standard, in taking up a large block of leases between this city and Independence, 18 a criterion of what they intend to do in the future. For the past couple of weeks the South Fenn has had a large force of leasers at work in the country in and about Independence and on this side, taking up the farms of the people living in that section until now it has a large acreage and more is being taken up as rapidly as possible. Leases that have already been closed show that the South Penn people evidently intend to either drilf the territory they are taking up or they are going to tie it up so that some other operator may develop It for them in the future, providing that any of the wellB that are being drilled in the various sections of this part of the State would make such a showing there was a possibility of getting something on their leases. Each of the leases is drawn up In such a manner that the company is either compelled to develop the property within a period of six months or they are compelled to pay $1 an acre rental. This rental does not amount to a great deal to this powerful corporation and if they don't want to develop the property by drilling a number of wells, as they have agreed to they can let It He as It always has been and still hold the property by paying the (1 an acre rental. It Is reported there has been quite a lot o( property in that section leased during the past few months by other people and that It Is their Intention to do some wild-cat drilling In the near future, which probably accounts for the South Penn spending a small amount of money In taking up a large block of leases.
