as far as equipment Ii concerned.
Its condition Is the elimination of
bad management. This gather from
testimony and knowledge of the road.
II this is correct it appeals to me
that the question is who shall take
care of the emergency. They say
TO the public, I'VE can do nothing;
they do not offer a solitary sugges-
ton or promise" They say, Give
US our dividends. give us our inter-
est, we must have it and then if we
have anything left we will improve
the road" If it Is possible for them
to do a part they should do it. The
question is. can they or must the
public alone save 1t from a receiver
ship?
The attorney general reminded the
commission that they could only ask
the public to pay what the service
, is worth. for II the road has exer-
cised poor business MANAGEMENT it
Is their fault and if hey are in a
poor business situation the public
should not be called on to bear the
expense. Public confidence cannot
be restored unless the people feel
that the railroad is doing their best
and unless they feel that the condi-
tions will not improve.
Mr. Sturgis believed that II the
commissioners decreed that scholars
tickets be abolished thai it would be
a step backward. He firmly believed
that their use should he continued
Despite the fact that wages have
oeen greatly advanced, If an honor
able agreement had been made bv
the railroad with the Mechanic Falls
people they should keep it, other
wise confidence in the Utility will go
down another notch. The attorney
general stated that the payment of
a dividend on 5000 eco preferred
stock. which represents $4,000
investment, was a dehatable prOpo-
sition and that ! did not strike him
as unfair that the holders Of this
stock should play their part in re-
facilitating the road. The use Of
funds for the payment of dividends
at this time would not serve to re-
store confidence. Mr.. Sturgis said
he did not believe the company had
stated quite fairly the "tory of their
freight department and that this
should be made to bear a portion Of
the burden.

LODGE AT BROWN +.
Mass. Senator Speaks
at Commencement
Declares "There Has Been No Pol.
tiles in Congress Over Any War
Measure Since This Country Went
Into the Struggle, and There Will
Be None"

Providence, May 2s-"Conditions
revealed by the aircraft investiga-
ton would not have been SO deplor-
able had it not been for the publish
ing of information alleged to have
been a statement Of what had real
~ accomplished when the informa-
ton was only what was hoped to De
done" said United States Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge Of Massachu-
sets in addressing the Brown Com
mencement gathering at Sayles hall
this afternoon. Senator Lodge declar-
ed that the work of the various in
quiries was not to block progress, but
solely to speed up the carrying on Of
the war.
Besides Senator Lodge, the speak
ers at the exercises. which followed
the 150th Commencement at the First
Baptist church included President
William Allan Nelson of Smith Coz
lege, President Faunce, Governor
Beeckman and Richard B. Comstock
Of the class of 1876. presiding.
There has been no politics in Con-
grcss over any war measure since
this country went into the struggle, -
Senator Lodge said, and added there
will be none"
Regarding the war revenue legis-
lation he said:
The President has advanced strong
arguments as TO why the new meas
ure should be taken up at once.
The great responsibility of the
war rests upon the executive. No
other individual has so large a share
of it. But Congress as a body has
equal responsibility with the "x-
ecutive."
Senator Lodge spoke In defense Of
the investigation which Congress had
made into the ordnance. aircraft and
shipbuilding departments Of the gov
eminent. pointing out that they had
been only to aid the war.
'Have you heard Of any investiga-
,tions OF criticisms of our navy"
Senator lodge asked. II have heard
none. and l am fairly familiar with
it. as a member Of the naval af-
fairs committee. The navy has done
extremely well. Secretary Daniels
has made no statements to the pub
lie of what he hoped to do. All
he says is what has been accom-
plished. He has strong men as his
bureau heads. He deserves credit For
having selected them"
There is no disposition on the
part of anyone in Congress to DO
anything but uphold the President
and speed the war to victorious
conclusion" he said.
Speaking Of the part the allies have
played in the war, Senator Lodge
said: Whoever attacks one Of our
allies, no matter which one. attacks
us. In this struggle, everyone is eth
or for us or against us"
1--WE must win the war" he con-
Guided. If we don't life is not worth
living"

UNKNOWN PROSPEROUS civ
rev Americans Ever Heard Of This
r'aoe' Although It Ha. 10000 In.
habitants

II an Englishman or Frenchman
visiting America appears to be ie-
norant of the location Of Chicago. mr.
that 1T is the biggest city in the
United States next to New York. II
should not astonish u.s. observed
Fred w. Emery of New York. Last
summer | made trip through British
Columbia, and l was amazed one day
to discover that in that province
there was a city OF 10000 people that
had never heard of, and l venture
TO say that few persons in Washing
ton ever heard of it.
TT is kamloops, at the head OF the
Frazier river and it's name signifies
the confluence of two rivers. KAN
loops is one Of the most thriving new
cities | have ever visited. 1t Is des-
tined to become one of the most i'm
portant of British Columbia.
With 10000 persons it has sprung
up almost unknown to us who call
ourselves Americans, vet IL Is on our
continent. In every way 1t 10 q mod
ern city. The streets are paved,
electric lights line all the avenues,
and for half a mile along the ap-
breaches to the city there are great
electric signs bidding welcome to
visitors.
"Kamloops is fur-trading center
lneians mingle with the white popu-
latlOn and there are scores of fur
stores. The buildings are modern,
rick and stone structures lighted by
electricity. and there Is every con-
vcnienCe almost that can be found in
Washington. Yet. I confess. until I
saw the name on the railroad sched-
ule | did not know there was such
place on the continent.
1T happened that lady in our
party attended a church fair, and she
purchased for 10 cents a chance on
fur coat which was being ratified
Two months later she was notified
that she had won the coat. which
was worth probably 5000 WASH
