lNTERURBAN BEING
OPERATED AT A LOSS

At the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Galesburg & Ke-
vance Electric Railway company the
annual report showed, after making
allowance for depreciation, interest.
etc, a deficit of s6,501.52. and dis
closed the need of extending the line
10 Galesburg. In fact principal in
terest of the stockholders centered in
the report of the president on the
years business. It was shown that
no dividends had been earned during
the year or even an amount over cur
rent expenses sufficient to cover de-
probation, but the company has con-
tinued its policy of maintaining its
property in good condition and has
kept service at the same standard.
The terms of four directors expir-
ed and all were reelected: w. D.
Patty, Oneida; H. T. Lay of Ke-
vance; w. H. Lyman of Kewanee,
and W. D. Godfrey of Galesburg.

will mean much TO religious activity

being outlined. Incidentally, he is Civ
ing TO the city Of Rock Island line of
very desirable publicity, as the head
quarters for the work in which he is
engaging.
Up TO the time that he was called By
the Men and Religion movement last

some years an evangelistic work

tons. He has oeen going into rail-
roads, factories, shops, mines. and all
such places where men work, TO do a
special line Of religious work among
these men. Mr.. Burners work attract
ed attention all over the country, and
" hen those IL charge Of the Men and
Religion movement were seeking for
experts TO 20 out in the great cam
paigns that were being planned, they
naturally invited Mr.. Bruner to go with
them as an expert on work among the
classes of men whom he had been
reaching so well.
Mr.. Bruner is working under the di.
rection OF a corporation known as The
Industrial Evangelistic Foundation,
which has been organized 10 support
his activities. The committee of man.
agement is headed by Frank Nay, OF
the Rock Island system. A. d. Sperry
OF this city is vice president, and c. f
Sharpe is treasurer. Mr.. Bruuer Is now
working out a plan for securing men

All Of this activity radiates from
Rock Island, which is Mr.. Bruner':

the club. + J. Russell and Wallace

identified the views.
DESCRIBES THE FALLS.
Major Keller IS thoroughly cOmpe-
tent 20 discuss the falls. because Of
his personal knowledge gained through
an assignment OF duty there. He de-
sCribed not only the falls themselves,
but also the water power institutions
which are built up about them and Of
which they are the sources. Regard.
ing the contention that these power
plants are sapping the life Of the falls
and destroying their natural beauty, he
was able 70 give expert opinion, as ne
was a member Of the investigating
committee which decided that the
falls were not in any great danger
because Of the water being taken away
from them for the production Of power
The talk was most interesting to the
half hundred who were present.

The reason that I feel justified in appeal

either Of tho other parties propose seriously to
disturb the supremacy Of the trusts. Their only
remedy Is to accept the trusts and regulate
them, notwithstanding the fact that most Of the
trusts are so constructed as to insure high
prices, because they are not based upon effici-
ency but upon monopoly. Their success lies In
control. The competition Of more efficient COM
petitors, not loaded down by the debts created
