W. H. Peck. oil editor. who is in
Chicago attending the convention,
wires as follows: THAT ID.
W. Moffitt is the one best orator Of
the great meeting at Chicago. is
easily proven by two or three para
graphs Of his talk Tuesday night. his
subject being The Independent Re-
finer He said in part:
"Among other lessons the world
has learned that IL supreme power
is lodged In the hands OF one individ.
ual or in Just the hands OF a few in
diyiduals whose ends and aims are
identical. that power SO reposcd has
never failed 20 result in tyranny, op'
preston and wrong: and humanity
has found IL necessary from time to
time 20 rise up in their strength
sometimes in bloodless revolution
and sometimes at the expenditure OF
great amounts of human blood and
human treasure TO destroy that
power which was lodged In the
hands Of just few or one indi-
Nidual
That experience. growing out OF
tho history Of the years, has so IN
grained In human hearts and hu-
man Intelligence an objection and a
criticism against the reposing of this
power IN the hands Of few, that
even n that power were so reposed
and we're honestly. fairly. Justly and
properly directed and used, there
would still grow UP In time such d
resentment against 1t that persecu-
tion and prosecution and destruc-
ton Of those who exercised that
!. power would inevitably follow.
so, the independent refiner in
that field OF human activity is here.
The thing to do Is to make tho path

points Of friction and difficulty az
much as We can. But II IL one OF
