Man is capable of building character,
and in his working out that capabll-
ity lies his final and true greatness.
May | in closing recall TO your
minds what a man Of scholarly habits
and attachments said of love. You
will find ii in a choice letter which
he wrote to his friends: IF | speak
with the tongues OF men and of an
gels, bnt have not love, | am become
sounding brass or a changing cymbal.
And if | have the gift of prophecy
and know all mysteries and all knowl,
edge; and if have all faith, so as to
remove mountains, but have not love,
I am nothing"
My young friends, members OF the
class Of 1914, what was said OF love
might be said with equal truth OF
character, of which love is SO sub
stantial an element. ....
What have we gained by our amaZ-
Ing speed on land and sea and In the
airy spaces above us, II character has
suffered injury? What of great for.
tunes, II they have been piled up by
the sacrifice of human lives and ce-
mented by human blood?
What of all our acquisitions in the
realm of knowledge, II at last we are
not men and women Of broader sym

MAY Be Supply Station.

Waterloo may be one OF the chain
of supply stations for the aviators on
the around-the-world aviation con.
test to be held in 1915. The contest
is to be conducted under the auspices
OF the Panama-Pacific international
exposition officials. and Mayor r. e.
Thompson has received communi-
cation from Arnold Kruckman, man,
ager of the aeronautics, requesting
the city officials to ascertain the
wishes of the business men of the
city on the project.
The city would be required to fur
nish protection for the aeroplanes
and provide suitable accommodations
for the aviators during their stop
here. Each city in the chain will al
so be expected to furnish suitable
prizes for the aviators, but the gener-
al supervision would be in charge OF
the local committee.
1t is planned TO start the race on
May Is, and it is expected that more
than so OF the worlds famous avia-
tors will enter.

SOME PRESS COMMENTS ON HIS
CANDIDACY.

Davis County Republican: He
comes nearer filling the desires of the
party than any other man mentioned
to lead the congressional fight. Twice
elected county attorney ON the Tepub-
lican ticket in the democratic strong
hold of Davis county and with an en-
viable record as an official, the atten-
ton OF the republicans of this district
was directed toward him as man
deserving higher honors. In the po-
litics of Davis county he has been
one of the mainstays of the republi'
can party and his popularity here will
be attested, should he be nominated,
by a handsome majority at the No
vember election. The party need
have no fear of the result with MI
RamseyeT leading.

MELLEN TESTIMONY
MAY CAUSE PROBES
Revelation by Former Rail Head
Causes Action.
NEW YORK CENTRAL TARGET
Interstate Commerce Commission Con
elders Investigation Into Other
Roads In the East-Rocksfel-
Ter Must Testify.

Washington, May 25.-Revelations
by Charles 8. Mellen as to the finan-
cial practises of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad have
caused the interstate commerce COM
mission to consider an investigation
Of other large railroad systems. 1t
was learned here that If the commits
sion decided to thrust its probe into
other systems the New York Central
is likely to be the first to come under
the spotlight Of publicity.
Chief Counsel Folk Of the commits
sion said: -a'
Il think that an investigation IF
the New York Central would result in
disclosures as great as those made
in connection with the New Haven"
Senator Norris of Nebraska, who in
troduced the resolution on which the
New Haven investigation was based.
Is considering the introduction Of a
similar measure in connection with
the New York Central.
Rockefeller Must Testify.
Neither physicians certificates Of
fitness nor any other excuses will be
accepted by Solicitor Folk for the non
appearance Of William Rockefeller
and other directors of the New Haven
under subpoena to appear in the COM
missions New Haven investigation,
Solicitor Folk stated. IF Mr.. Rookie
Teller is able to attend New Haven di.
rectors' meetings, as 1t appears he has
done in the last few days. he is suf-
fcfently improved in health to appear
in Washington" said Folk.
Under present conditions the chief
counsel said. William Rockefeller.
George Mccullough Miller, Samuel G.
Morehouse and H. M. Kochersperger,
whom Folk described as constituting
the sick list, will have to testify "or
suffer the consequences" Folk init
mated that contempt proceedings
might be instituted. Mr.. Milfers all
ment according to Folk, seems to be
senility, and Samuel C. Morehouse
and H. M. Kochersperger are suffer
ing from nervous prostration.
viii Shake UP Directors.
DeVere H. Warner, a New Haven
director, will be one Of the next wit
nesses to be heard. Folk expects to
gain from him considerable informa-
ton about somnolence at directors
meetings. He expects to bring out
that many directors had 80 little in
terest In the matters before the board
that they used the time consumed by
directors meetings to slip in forty or
more winks.
Folk feels that the directors knew
that any protest they might have
made. had they given close attention
to the proceedings, would have been
useless in view Of the fact that Nor
gan and other higher.ups shaped the
policies usually formulated by the di-
rectors.
1t is not unlikely that more may be
heard from Mellen. In the event that
some Of the next witnesses to be
heard make statements involving him
In matters concerning which he has
not testified, he may be recalled
