quested to become a member his answer
was the keynote, of the present strong

today He said something like this, Get
yourself together, into one organization,
when you can be somebody, and 1 VIII

A. E. Stilwell, builder and former president of what is now the Kansas City Southern Railway. or Port Arthur Route, now builder and presi- dent of the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway, in an address before the Railroad Club at Kansas City recently, touched up rebating and rebaters as follows:
 "Of all the crimes in the whole category. the relating crime is the most unjust. Relating strikes at the people the fountain head of the rights delegated to the average rail road The hired assassin of old may be pictured as a white-robed saint compared to the rebater. Relating is crime for which no punishment is too severe. I'd like to see the rebater get 20, yes 50 years in the penitentiary.
