No Time to "Lie Down"

We have learned through the ex'
press men and post office department
that a very large number Of mail
order catalogues are coming In now.
The mail order people seem to time
the mailing Of their publications very
carefully. They reason that now the
mechanic and farmer are having leis'
ire time and that q catalogue will be
more carefully studied now than at
other times; also that the home mer-
chant expects dull season now and
has cut down his advertising. In
nine cases out Of ten the local mer-
chant sells the same grade o. goods
cheaper than the mail order house but
often the mail order men gets the
business because the home man fails
to make the quality and price Of bis
goods known.

Several Alleged Combines. i.
IEARSTS REPRESENTATIVE THERE.


Topeka, Kas., Feb. 22.-The senti-
ment in favor of making clean
weep of the corporations In Kansas
IS growing. Yesterday resolution
was introduced in the senate provid-
.ng for an investigation Of the follow
ng alleged combines: Beef, grain, i'm
)lement, milling and lumber. The ey-
dence gained in the investigation VIII
oe presented to the governor and at
torney general for action. The Stand
ard Oil company will be closely watch
I'd in the meantime. The oil producers
association announces that the fight
On the Standard will not be relaxed,
no matter what may be the outcome
Of the state oil refinery plan and
pending legislation.
H. E. West, president Of the associa-
ton, announces that Frank E. Monett,
formerly attorney general of Ohio, has
been retained to assist in gathering
evidence. During his term as attor-
ney general in Ohio, Mr. Monett
brought suit against the Standard OIL
company to revoke its charter for al
legged violation of the antitrust laws.
He made a desperate but unsuccessful
effort to drive the company out OF
the state and gained much evidence
that will be Of use in the Kansas fight.
C. A. Walsh, Of Ottumwa, Ia, a for
mer secretary Of the Democratic ma
tional committee is here representing
w, r. Hearst. His instructions are
to look the field over with a view to
turning all he can for the use of the
officers in prosecuting the investiga-
ton to conviction. He says that
Mr.. Shearn, the lawyer who prose-
cuted the anthracite coal trust cases
for Hearst, has been retained to assist
in the Standard Oil investigation.
Hearst's plan Is to bring proceedings
against the Standard under the Sher-
man antitrust law.
The senate oil and gas committee
brought in majority and minority re-
ports on the anti-pumping gas bill.
The minority fayors the measure,
which has already has passed the

Helm the Independents Too.

The state oil refinery bill has passed
both houses and will doubtless become
q law. The REFLECTOR has believed
and yet believes that it is q measure
that will prove disappointing to the
state and that 1t has been enacted
with undue haste and excitement,
which may result in the defeat Of the
very object fer which it was adopted.
We do not doubt the honest motives
Of the men who supported it. They
were urged to it by a public that is
sick and tired Of the arrogant hoggish-
ness OF the Standard Oil Co. and looks
willingly on any scheme that
promises relief, but we believe that
the same result could have been &C
complished BY legislation fostering
the establishment Of independent re-
flneries. Now that the state is going
into the business the legislature
should see to it that the independent
refinery is also given chance. II
the Standard is shut out Of Kansas
It means that q production Of 100000
barrels Of oil a day must be cared for.
The state proposes to handle 1000
barrels. Let's make it possible to es-
tAblish independent concerns that
will handle the other $4,000 barrels.
