shrinkage OF stock and bond values,
deterioration OF road and equipment,
receivership, and foreclosure. And
these inevitable results are being en-
outraged by the state at the behest OF
a few adventures who aim TO reap
large profits by toe sale of securities
which do not represent real value.
Such q policy does infinite harm TO
the state as a whole. Its discredits
Vermont securities that are sound; it
adyertses the fact that Vermont Is
an open field for the promotion OF
hazardous enterprises and the nota
ton of illegitimate schemes calculated
TO separate a man from his money.
The unexpected risks involved In an
investment in electric railway securi-
ties in Vermont and the losses sus-
tanned by the investing public outside
OF Vermont affects the reputation and
character of every kind of security
offered the public which emanates
from Vermont. Our state should be
in line with Massachusetts on this
subject and, require every issue Of
railroad stocks or bonus to be approx
ed by some competent authority by
order that there may be some guar
antee that they measurably represent
actual value in the construction and
equipment OF the road.
1.-TWO years ago this commission
produced the introduction of meas
ure similar to the Massachusetts law
upon this subject and the influence Of
interested persons was successfully
exerted TO prevent the passage OF the
bill. The inquiry is pertinent, what
right has Vermont to expect capital
from other states to seek Investment
here in the development of our re-
sources if the state encourages the
laying Of traps by promoters to fleece
the uniformed stranger out OF his
money?
"To suggest or recommend what
ought to be enacted in the way of leg
islation has heretofore been produc
tive of NO results. The above commits
sion has been forced by the defiant at
titude Of those who oppose wholesome
regulation Of electric railways and by
their influence among legislators de-
feat the passage of measurers which
would afford relief from conditions
that ought to be regarded In any state
as intolerable.

STORM ON GREAT LAKES
WORST HURRICANE IN 90 YEARS
RAGING.
EIGHT LIVES ARE LOST
Steamer Schedule Between Chicago
and Grand Rapids, Mich,
Abandoned.

Chicago-A hurricane of unusual
violence, which lake mariners say is
the fiercest in 26 years, is sweeping
over the upper lake region and is
now bearing down upon Chicago,
leaving death and destruction in its
path. The gale has already claimed
eight lives, caused an immense amount
Of damage to shipping, and fears are
growing momentarily for the safety Of
lives and craft known to be at the
mercy of waves.
The eight lives known to have been
lost at an early hour this morning
were sacrificed in the Upper Huron
territory by the sinking of the steamer
Barth with the Wayne and Foster in
tow. The Barth and tow were beached
near Red Ridge, Mich. Six members
of the crew are missing.
The gale ragged southwark across
Huron Bay all Tuesday and Tuesday
night. The steamer Pasadena was
caught on lee shore, and reports re-
ccived at Houghton, Mich, are to the
effect that the steamer went down
with all ON board.
The barges Wayne and Foster, in
tow of the steamer Barth, were caught
near Fourteen-Mile Point and cut
loose. The barges are said to have
been beached.
The barge Foster was totally
wrecked in the heavy surf.
Capt. David Carrier of the Borth,
who reached Calumet in safety. said
the present storm is the worst he has
seen on Lake Michigan in more than
so years.
The force, of the gale began to be
felt about Chicago early in the day,
The Goodrich steamers to Grand Rap
ids, Mich, were forced to tie up and
cease their trips, the shippers fearing
to brave the storm. The wind blew
from the west at SO miles an hour.
The life-saving crews about the
lakes are in readiness for sudden
calls.

MUST FIGHT FOR SUCCESS

they have only average ability and
scarcely any experience, while poor
youths with greater ability and more
experience often have to fight their
way for years to obtain ordinary sit
uations, are you justified in starting
out without a chart or in leaving a
place for luck in your program? What
would you think of the captain of a
great liner who would start out to
sea without any port in view and trust
to luck to land his precious cargo
safely?
Did you ever know of strong
young man making out his life pro-
gram and depending upon chance to
carry out any part of it? Men who
depend upon luck" do not think it
worth while to make thorough prep
aration for success. They are not
willing to pay the regular price for it.
They are looking for bargains. They
are hunting for short cuts to success.
Power grayitates to the man who
knows how. Luck is the tide, moth
ing more. The strong man rows with
it if it makes toward his port; he
rows against it if it flows the other
way"
