Lawrence Gazette: There seems to
be a row on among the state officers
over the establishment Of the state
oil refinery. Nobody would buy the
state bonds until their validity had
been tested by the courts. 1t was
agreed that q test case should be
gotten up among the state officers. SO
as to get the case to the supreme
court. Nobody knows the exact facts
In the matter, but 1t would appear
that some Of the state officers wanted
to get the court to decide in favor Of
the bonds, while others wanted them
declared illegal. Anyway, two sets
Of attorneys have been employed. and
two kinds Of answers will be put In.
One it seems, will practically admit
that the state has a right to issue the
bonds, while the other will vigorous
ly deny that right. In the meantime
SO many independent and private re-
fiueries are going up that the oil pro-
ducers who started the 100000 ap-
preparation will soon be fighting the
state to keep 1t out Of business. A
great mistake was made when the
state undertook to go into the oil
business, aud it is to be hoped for the
good OF Kansas that the supreme
court will turn the appropriation
down.

Poor taste was shown by p. Q. W.
Kieisrin q sslf-lAudAtory sIgnsd card
Published last evening which has been
received BY the city's businessmen
with some surprise, considering how
literally they have contributed TO his
enterprises at frequent intervals dur
Ing the past five months. So far as
his lAbored effort to discredit the
REFLECTOR 10 concerned, we do not
care whoopi this paper ran q long
time before he reached town and Will
be here after be leaves. Further
more, we feel that In printing all the
Commendatory notices written BY
himself and sent to this Office we did
our full duty In furtherihg his enter
tainment. We even published 90 did
the Chronicle bis notice that reserved
seats would be ON sale commencing
at 8 O'Clock Thursday morning when
the board was really opened at T.
much to the indignation OF scores Of
ticket holders. These things are un-
important, but bis implication that
the vast majority Of the businessmen
Of town who refused to take part In
his "festivAl" were not doing their
duty was uncafled for. The business
men Of Abilene generally feel that
when the city invites the people OF
the county to come here 1t should be
for the towns benefit and they are
right. Other towns do that way and
prosper exceedingly thereby. No
one has any objection to Mr.. Keifer's
q personal profit OF $3.50 to
B400 out OF his entertainment, nor to
his working up parade in order to
Increase interest In the May queen
contest and so sell seats for his bene-
1t; NOR to his adding to bis receipts
BY programs, subscriptions to helpI
pay for the band, etc.,-it simply
Ihowed his shrewd business ability.
But the town does believe in making |
Iuch affairs in which businessmen's
IssIstance Is asked o benefit to the
whole community rather than to one
Individual, and while those who took
,art In the "iestival" did their part
the others had good rea-
on for their action.

The next systematic swindle to be-
perpetrated will DO that Of independ-
ent oil reHnerisS. The same pro-
motors who have been, organizing
companies with millions Of stock for
drilling for oil have gone into the
business Of organizing and selling
stock 10 refinery companies. For the
purpose Of arousing interest In their
schemes they are working the news
papers for free Advertising. 1t has
been stated that the profits on oil
refining are tremendous and state
ments as to what they are have been
printed. The fact Is that nobody
knows what the profits in that BUSH
ness are except them engaged in
1t, and they won't tell. Pro6ts that
are really sure and large are never
advertised. The men who know how
to make big money, and do it. don't
tell the public about it. The rich
men Of this country are never heard
to brsg about how much they are
worth and how large their profits are.
There are no doubt exceptions, hut
the safest plan is.to assume that all
companies incorporated with million
dollars or more and offering stock for
sale from five cents up are frauds.
By doing that, innocent possessors OF
small capital will never lose any
thing. The plan of incorporating
and selling stock in oil companies, as
1t has been practiced extensively, is
generally a systematic swindle. The
promoters simply ask the suckers for
money to spend in development work. |
II 1t is lost, the suckers lose, and II
oil is found and the leases prove valu'
able. the promoters find way to get
rid OF the suckers and rob them Of
their money by rendering their stock
Of NO value. The thing is organized
and promoted with that purpose.
Any man who will stop to think
ought to know that no company is
going to sell large amount Of stock
for five, ten or twenty cents share
and then pay dividends on 1t after 1t
gets to be worth fifty or Seventy-five
cents or q dollar. 1t 10 needless to
state that they can never sell some
thing at ten cents and make it worth |
o dollar for the benefit Of a buyer.
Just little financial common sense |
applied to the corporation stock prop |
osition ought to keep any one out Of
the business. - Hiawatha World.

An AllegorY.

Rev. F. NJ. McHale, formerly Of
Harrington, sends the following which
be modestly terms Gan allegory."
though it seems to us pretty good
chunk OF common sense, coming as 1t
does from minister Of the gospel
who formerly was not minister, and
who was about as nearly the opposite
as possible. He has looked upon the
question from the standpoint Of the
man OF the world, and from the view
point OF the minister, and here are
his conclusions:
"Once upon time a man boarded
at a hotel. The bill Of fare was good.
His. appetite was of the best. His
weight increased, and he became
strong and vigorous. He always at
tended church and Sunday school.
But he failed to payl his board bill,
and left between two days owing the
landlord quite a sum. In the full
strength Of physical life he left to
seek new landlord to swindle. The
newspapers denounced him as
swindler.
Gas he journeyed on, passing a
farm house he heard the terrified
screams OF a woman looking into q
well and wringing her hands in frenzy.
Her little boy had fallen into the well
and was standing in water up to his
neck. The frightened mother was
unable to help the child for want Of
strength. The muscular hotel
swipdler hurried to the spot and Of
fered to climb down into the well to
rescue the child, but the mother had
read the papers and she recognized
him as. the man who beat . board bill,
obtaining thereby strength from food
that he never paid for. The fond
mother, true to her religion, prompt
ly rejected his offer in these words;
i can not accept your services, your
strength is tainted The strong
man leaves, and the child browns for
want Of help.

the earth are dying for want Of the

societies can not help them for want

The Horse Il Still King.

The rate at which dealers are ship
ping horses out Of Dickinson county
by the hundred does not indicate that
the 70, 900 automobiles in this coun-
try have driven the horse out Of bust
ness. According to recent govern
ment report there are l9,946,6l4
horses and mules on the farms OF the
United States, The average value Of
the horse 10 placed at S70S7, while
the mule is estimated to be worth
$87.l8. The combined valuation Of
those farm assistants is $l,452, 150,-
$50. That is more than the total Of
all cattle, including range stock and
milch COWS. There is q horse for
every family in the land. The num-
Der is increasing and their worth to
the home-maker charging every year.
There seems to be no danger Of the
horse disappearing from the agriCnl-
tural field. The long talked Of horse
less age is far in the future. Bicy-
cles, automobiles and other modern
appliances do not take the place Of
the horse for work In the field, driv-
Ing on the road or speeding on the
track. With all the substitutes the
fact remains that the horse is king.
He can draw the pillow or the carriage
with ease. There is something about
him that seems to talk to the driver
and give him confidence in making
even the most hazardous journey.
One Of the most important facts
revealed by the enumeration Of farm
animals is the steady increase In val
nation Of horses and mules. 1t indi-
Gates an age Of progress along agri-
cultural lines, The day Of the under
sized work horse is over. Even west
ern farmers have no use for the in.
ierior animals. They can cast them
aside and are building up perfect
horses. That means better titled
farms, more economic methods and
practical details Of utility. The
horses are kept for the purpose Of as
sisting the farmers in making money
and getting comfort from their
labOrs. 1t pays therefore to feed and
bare for none but the best.
The horse industry is one Of the
valuable fields for profit, 1t belongs
10 the diversified farming era. 1t
