expert for the North Iowa Dairy asso

LUMRERMEN's CONVENTION, AT
KANSAS CITY TOLD OF MAIL
ORDER PERIL. Tts'''

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 25.--H the
country merchants are to. save them.
selves from being swept out of exis-
'tence by the big mail order houses
they must organize for their own pro-
lection, L.GC. Boyle of Kansas City,
former attorney general of Kansas,
said today In an address here before
the Southwestern Lumbermen's asso-
citation meeting in annual session.
The insistent clamor to destroy the
country merchant was first heard" Mr..
Boyle said, simultaneously with the
birth of the mail order house.
THE demand to eliminate the mid
dleman applies only to country mer-
chants, because the mail order houses
conflne their operations to country
districts. a..-
II am forced to- believe that If the
farmer and laborer but understood the
situation alright the mail order bust
ness would be short lived. Eliminate
the country merchant and the BUSH
ness of distributing the necessities of
life will of necessity center in the
hands of few great corporations.
The only solution of the dilemma then
would be state and national socialism.
1.-THE solution of the problem lies in
a close, militant, aggressive organiza-
ton. The rule of reason was applied
to the Standard Oil case and this was
done to meet the business exigencies
of that great organization. II the courts
will not apply the same rule when the
little fellow is concerned, let all the
little fellows get together and make
tremendously big fellow, and then he
can apply the rule of reason
"The lumber dealers cannot do this
work alone. All retail associations
must get together in the national fed
Grafton. There are million of you
when thus united. Lay aside your
party differences and do something for
the retail merchant"
