The RefinerS' Meeting at
kansas city Accomplished
hdflSd1
SfucIi

has developed that there Is
much yet to say in regard to the
meeting at Kansas City. which is Of
.p,g.al interest and that as yet has
mol asen published in any OF the
.,. instance, the executive COM
rifrru that was elected, and which
Io r,ucctod TO meet at the associa q
lion hcadquarters every month, is
a particularly strong one. II is made
mo ss follows:s George n. Moore,
p~rps.Gaut. w. L. kistfer, vice presi-
dent. =. \. Germany, vice president,
ALI of whom are eN-officio members,
and tho following:
D.. d.. Perry, 4. NJ. Miskell, w. d.
richardson, II. u. Shock, Elliot
I,r.s L. ~. Goebel, and G.. T.. Peil-
s,irs,r. This will meet tho approval
OF everybody having the interests
Of tho association at heart, dnd is
hevond 4 doubt fully capable 10
me-. any crisis that may occur.
IL ia also announced that Clifford
TboIue liz still representing the Re
rncrs' association as traffic counsel
on an unfinished matters, and is
} expected 10 be retained as a spe-
clal counsel On all future traffic
problems needing special legal at
ientIou. This, too, Is good news, as
n was feared that the odd War
Horse" had been s~ide-tracked and
rather loft out in tho cold.
i. r. Perry, speaking Of the meet
ing said. 1T was n great meeting
and we are all glad TO have George
Moore lead us during the coming
year.
r.. NJ. Miskcu says, I'VE believe
that with this organization we can
accomplish something never hereto
fore accomplished, namely: We can
get united action, and further, there
will be many refiners who have been
holding back, that will now come IN
and mako Il unanimous"
An interesting incident OF the
meeting, IS that one Of the maya
zine owners attempted to have his
paper made the official organ OF
the r~cfiuers. 1t is very evident that
the old boy has his nerve, and es-
pcclally as he has a weekly organ
which would delay everything OF in
terest 70 necessary that it be pub
lished in his paper. People want
the news while it liz news. This viii
perhaps be the last heard from said
magazine.

NOT SUBSIDY-PROTEcTION

"This man, I trow," said bluff
King Hal, speaking Of Cranmer, "has
got the right sow by the ear" In
language less homely and more ele-
CANT, but equally to the point, it may
be said that Col. Nyron w. Robinson,
president of the American Manufac-
turers' Export Association, voiced a
great truth when he declared that
development of an American mer-
chant marine will benefit the whole
country as well as the ship-owners.
Promotion Of foreign trade, reten-
ton of about $500. 100000 a year in
freight money in this country. en-
ployment of thousands of men in
shipping and allied trades and the
creation of a naval reserve, making
1t certain that never again will 1t be
necessary to create a fleet at a cost
Of $4,000, 100000 in an emergency,
are among the benefits which Col
Robinson said would naturally flow
from the placing of an adequate
merchant marine on the high seas.
And he is right in his contention.
for transportation is essential to
prosperity, and for transportation
ocean going vessels are in their own
way as important as railroads or In
land waterways. There are some

TRAILING MAIL SWINDLERS

The nation wide drive against
swindling use Of the mails, an
nOunced by the department Of JUS
tice will receive the enthusiastic in
dorsement Of the public in general
and Of the duped elements In partic-
ular. 1t is stated that approximately
500 cases representing loss through
postal swindles aggregating more
than $40, 100000, are already In
the hands Of United States attorneys
and that a larger number Is In
course Of preparation.
Unquestionnbly the privilege Of
the mails has been abused by the
swindlers who have availed them
selves Of this means Of communica-
tion for mulcting unsuspecting in
vestors. The fact that many schemes
so pushed bore evidence Of fraud on
their face does not lesson the need
for restrictions against the use of
the mails for such purpose and for
those who abuse them.
The public Is entitled to the
greatest protection that the govern
ment can furnish against fraudulent
approach through the letter box.
Even though many victims have
fallen into traps that their own greed
for easy and quick money has
sprung, they are none the less en-
titled to protection against postal
fraud.

SAYS COURT DID 1T

While the Kansas City Star insists
that the Industrial Court issue had
| little to do wiOh the election result
in Kansas, II. A. McNeal, editor of
one of Senator Capper's papers, says
1t did. He explains:
wv. Y. Morgan was defeated, not
because Of personal unpopularity or
because of the personal popularity
Of his opponent, but because Of the
forcing of an issue into the campaign
that never should have been forced
into it. The Industrial Court law
was not passed as a party measure.
The Democratic members of the Sem
ate and House voted for it as gener
ally as did the Republicans. 1t was
an experiment, and one which l
think has very largely failed, but
whether 1t has or not, support Of 1t
should not have been made a test Of
party fealty l have given my opin-
ion of the law on several occasions
and have seen no reason to change

However that may be. there Is no
question that putting this law into
politics worked the defeat of w. Y.
Morgan for governor"
