HIGH HONORS FOR SISTER OF
 WILL CLAYS0N

Dr. Ester Pohle Lovejoy, a we'll known Portland resident, and sister of Will Clayson of Cordova, has been honored by her election as president of the International Association of Women Physicians, an organization just perfected at conference in New York. Dr. Lovejoy practiced her pro fession at Skagway in 1898, and has many friends in Alaska. When the war broke out she went to Washing ton at her own expense and volun- teered her services to the government. She was detailed to France, where she established maternity hospitals, and when she returned to the United States, lectured in behalf of the Red Cross and war work.
 In connection with Dr. Lovejoys election to head the physicians or ganization the Portland Oregonian says:
 "The new International Association of Women Physicians was organized as one of the results of the work of the womens conference, which was held in New York September 15 to October 25, at which representatives of thirteen national women's organ izatons were present, and which was called to discuss ways and means of improving the condition of women and children in the devastated areas of Europe.
 "At the conference of women physi- | clans which was held in connection with the larger meeting, and occurred in New York October IT to "A, there were thirty nine foreign women physi- clans present, representing fourteen nationalities. There were also pres ent women physicians from many sec tions of the United States. With the formation of the International Associ- | ation of Women Physicians, Dr. Love ioy was chosen the first president.
 "Dr. Lovepoy spent some time in Red Cross work in France, and then returned to America, and in the fall of 1918 toured the country in the in terests of the Red Cross. visiting Port land for a short time in October. Re turning to New York, she was chosen chairman of the American Women's Medical Hospital Association, in which work she is engaged now. This as

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1919-03-21

this week in Boston it was that the So
called opposing sides in the contention
over the covenant as tentatively adopted
in Paris are, as matter of fact, agreed
on the desirability of having some sort
of world organization the purpose Of
which shall be to prevent war as far as
possible. President Lowell was, of
course, the outspoken champion of not
only the league of nations idea but of
the present draft providing some amend
ments were to be made to it. Senator
Lodge, who represents the opposition to
the present covenant and who has been
perhaps the leader in the Senate in the
attack on the covenant, admits that a
league of nations is something to be de-
sired, that the idea of the league of ma
tons is good in and of itself, only he
objected strongly to the present draft,
partly perhaps because the Senate was
not permitted to act as a consulting
body with President Wilson, who, it is
readily agreed on all sides, is the chief
exponent of the principle. Senator Lodge
explicitly stated that he thought a
league of nations would be adopted al
though perhaps not at Paris at this time
when the treaty of peace is being drawn
up But that is really non essential
consideration in the contemplation of the
great and fundamental idea. The main
fact is that both President Lowell, the
one representing the advocates of the
present league covenant, and Senator
Lodge, representing the anti faction,
both believe in the theory that world
union to prevent wars is worth striving
for and capable of doing a great and
lasting good in the world.
1t having been determined, therefore,
that these two champions of opposing
factions in American thought are really
working toward one and the same end,
it remains for those two factions to get
together in harmonious effort to estab-
lish a foundation of a league of nations
which will be acceptable mutually and
which will, at the same time, be accept
able to the other nations of the world
which are to be as vitality interested
The chasm in American thought is being
bridged over, it would seem, and in due
time all except the irreconcilables should
be brought into harmony over the plan
of operation. There is splendid opportu-
nifty for uniting for the common good
the good of the United States and the
good of the world. 1t only needs to be
shown how these factions as represented
in the joint debate by President Lowell
and Senator Lodge can be brought to-
gether.

STREET RAILWAY LEGISLATION.

- lAkIIL4l lAAIlAlN u l4IGl0l4A 1NJ-N.
As a strong argument against the en-
actment of a general law giving the pub
lie service commission the right to dis
continue any or all of the service of a
street railway company in Vermont, pro-
viding reasonable dividends were not
earned, and as a support of the conten-
ton that such right should go by special
enactment because of the different condi-
tions surrounding the various traction
companies of Vermont it is only neces-
sary to point out that the representative
of the Bellows Falls system stated in
public hearing at Montpelier that the
people would not pay more than five
cents to ride on the street railways, and,
therefore, operation could not be made
to pay. 1t is a we'll known fact that a
patron of the Barre & Montpelier Trac-
ton company cannot ride more than a
yard without paying six cents and that
to 60 to Montpelier, or 30 go from Mont
pelier to Barre, a charge of Is cents is
exacted. So we see that conditions in
Bellows falls are very much unlike the
conditions in Barre and Montpelier; and,
consequently, what might be strict JUS
tice in Bellows Falls might not be strict
justice in Barre and Montpelier. Condi-
tions are not similar Moreover, an at
torney representing the Brattleboro
street railway company asserted that he
was instrumental in having the bill in
question introduced because of the de-
sire of his corporation to scrap" its
plant. Why, that being the case, is it
necessary to sweep the whole state into
the same heap? Why is it necessary to
seek a general enactment to cover spe-
cial instances Of non-paying corpora
tions?
1t seems to The Times that there is no
sound reason for foisting on the people
of Vermont general statute which
would be applied to any and all parts of
the state, to permit a street railway
company to lop off, for instance, the
Washington street branch of the Barre
& Montpelier trolley line because that
comparatively short haul was not bring
ing in returns at the top notch with the
other part of the system. If any par
ticular street railway company stands in
absolute need of assistance along the
line of curtailed service let it come be-
fore the legislature and present its case
on the merits of the particular situation
which it represents.
