October Is, 1913

in your valuable columns.
This is the time and season in
which the general public are be-
ing canvassed for their vote in
support Of one or any Of the many
candidates eligible for election.
This is therefore the time when
we are invited to hear the lee
lures of these candidates.
An election speech should be
one which tells what the candi-
date has done or hopes to do, but
how very Disappointing it has
been to many minds to find that
some of the speeches are nothing
more or less than the ridiculing
of an opponent.
These speeches of ridicule do
more than one may think to dis
qualify the speaker in the minds
of careful thinkers, especially
when the one being ridiculed
takes his medicine with ungentle-
manlike public demonstrations.
Recently a certain speaker an
noyed a great part Of his aud
fence by repeating in rapid suc-
cession the name of the present
member at large whose seat he
hopes to get, and perhaps will get.
Is that the kind Of speeches to
which we are called to give our
attention? If Mr.. Harrigan has
done nothing for st. Croix then
it is my humble opinion that his
opponents are taking up quite a
large amount of time trying to
prove that he has done nothing.
The very fact that he is the tar
get continually, shows that he has
certainly done something and is
therefore worth all the time that
can be spared IN him. That is a
healthy sign in any mans favor,
The one who has done nothing
would certainly not warrant any
time being so spent.
It is said that he said this or he
said that or the other. Actions
speak louder than words, and UNI
til now, no speaker has said that
he has DONE nothing. Is it be-
cause they can't or won't? If for
instance, he has said that the vet
Grams are lazy or they get free
money, or buy old trucks or any
other thing like that, is not man
free to his own private opinion?
Has his saying these things, if he
has, prevented the veterans
getting their money, plus and.
whatever else they were getting?
Can anyone say that this good
gentleman actually did some,
thing, or took steps to hinder
these worthy veterans, who
fought virtually for their country,
getting what they should? Has his
words caused them to get less?

Custer Is Asked
For ; Trustees
OF BusIine Fund
Arnold Employees
Charge Loan Policies
Endonger Benefits

Employees of the Arnold Lines TO-
day asked Arlington Circuit Court
to oust three trustees who admin
ister their 100000 pension fund.
In cross-complaint to a previous
suit involving the fund, six bus
drivers specifically called for the
replacement of Joseph L. Arnold,
Manuel j. Davis and Jesse Stokely.
Mr.. Arnold is president and Mr..
Davis is chairman of the board OF
the bus company. Mr.. Stokely is
an employe.
The earlier proceed dings were in
stituted by Howard H. England, for
mer treasurer of the Arnold Lines.
He requested court directions on
disposing of bus company stock and
notes posted for pension fund loans
to Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Arnold. The
loans total $158,000.
The six bus drivers, as representa-
tives of the fund benef1ciaries, were
among the defendants named in
Mr.. England's suit. Their cross COM
plant lists as defendants the three
trustees, Mr.. England, the bus COM
pany and the Joan Corp. The cor
poration was formed last year with
Mr.. and Mrs. Arnold and Leo de
Orsay as officers, to be a holding
company for Arnold Lines stock.
Charge insufficient Collateral.
In the original suit Mr.. England
stated that the three trustees made
a $3.50 600 loan to one of their group,
Mr.. Davis, at 2 per cent interest
rate. Immediately upon its repay
ment, the papers said, the trustees
made a $150,000 loan to the Joan
Corp. at 4 per cent.
The court was informed that Mr.
Arnold borrowed another $4,000
from the fund.
The employees complaint said an
additional $4,000 loan was made to
the Arnold Lines without collateral
They said insufficient collateral was
posted in the other cases.
The court is asked to discharge
the trustees, appoint a receiver, re-
quire repayment of all loans made
directly or indirectly" to the
trustees and appoint new trustees
who would include adequate" rep
resentation for company employees.
Damage to Fund Feared.
The cross complaint expresses
concern that unless the trustees are
replaced they will handle, deal with
and loan the said funds to the
further damage and detriment of
those who are supposed to benefit
from the pension plan"
Attorneys William D. Medley and
Griffin T. Garnett filed the suit in
the names of w. L. Hall, D. L. Love-
less, N. E. Young. G. L. Pyle, M. v
