. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. 818 THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. Bee. 30, No pure food law was or ever will be enacted unless In answer to the demand of the people. Neither will It en. force itself when on the statute books. Somebody must look after it. It is the aim and purpose of this Association to aid in the enactment and enforcement of laws in States and Na- tion, protecting apiarian interests. Another field of usefulness which this association has out- lined is the bringing to justice of dishonest honey commission men. I believe the simple fact of our organization and declar- ation of intentions has already had a wholesome effect on this class of swindlers. We purpose, if evidence is produced show- ing fraudlent dealing with our members, to employ the best legal talent obtainable, and to make it so hot for all such fel- lows that they will want to emigrate to the Klondike or some other cool region where the stings of conscience and a bee- keepers' union are supposed to be unknown. We have been solicited more than once to help bee-keepers out of trouble who are not members of the Union. It ought not to be necessary to say that this organization was effected " to protect the interests of its members ; to defend them in their la^vf^^l ; While we intend to protect the industry ot bee-keeping, and promote its interests in every way possible, no one can reasonably expect personal aid who does not afSli- ate himself with the Union. Let us learn a lesson from simi- lar industrial organizations, the dairy associations for in- stance. Let us put aside jealousies and bickerings and unite in one powerful organization and march to victory. FINANCIAL STATEMENT. Amount received from Secretary Dr. A.
