Increasing Competition.

"There have, been signs and ru'
rnors for long time past that a
period of keen aud widespread
competition was approaching be-
tween several of the great oil con-
Germs of the world. There seems
to be some sort of partition going
on, and there can be little doubt
that during the next few years the
supremacy of the standard On
company In the oil markets. of the
world will be seriously threatened.
The Shell company has strength
ened Its position very much during
the last two years, while one or
two of the Russian companies have
been looking further aheld for new
markets. There Is as much, It not
more, money available behind the
Russian Industry as In the great
American trust, aud It Is within the
natural order of things that the
prolific resources OF Russia must

The Gazette In commenting on

of the fact that very few of our own

Very few oil producers know or

Pure OIL company, as the benefits

There nay be few independent

Mr.. BLACKWELL HERE.
Veteran Suffragist Arrives in
Topeka Today.

Henry B. Blackwell, editor of the Wo-
mans Journal, Boston, Mass, arrived
from Lawrence where he spoke Monday
afternoon before the sociology class of
the State university, and appeared be-
fore the convention for a short talk.
This address was mainly reminiscent in
its nature, reminding his auditors of
former visits to Kansas, and especially
calling attention to local changes.
Notwithstanding advanced years MI.
Blackwell is still vigorous in mind and
body To a reporter this afternoon he
spoke of the early days in Kansas, and
of the former associations which be had
had with prominent men of the state.
L have" said he, "a greater interest il.
Kansas than any ether state. When /
was here in 1867 I am sure we could
have swung the state 10 wonIans SUI
frage had it not been for the entangle
ments which had arisen through the
free state struggle. At that time there
were the two factions of Governor Rob
inson and Jim Lane and we did not ac-
complish it." Mr.. Blackwell was dis
family related to Governor Robinson.
His speech this evening will be upon
"reminiscences of Woman's Suffra &c"
and he will also make some remarks
upon the merits of the subject. L wish
you would make it plain" he explain
ed, that want to touch upon the need
we have of women in politics, the power
they lend to helping solve this question

Mrs. Charles Smith of Stockton and
Mrs. Lila D. Monroe reported favor
ably and in the same recommended the
parts of the constitution which they
considered should be revised. The most
important change was that in which
members living in localities where II
was impossible to maintain an organi-
cation were excluded from membership
in the association.
The reason for this was that a LARGE
number of women would be enrolled
who could in no way help the associa-
ton by their membership. 1t was also
