CHICAGO, Jan. 19. Tho second annua convention of tho officers nnd employes of H. M. Dyllcsby & Com pany, engineers and managers of public utility plants, opened hero, at tho Auditorium Annex hotel, with an nttendanco of 250 delegates. For ty cIUcb In twolvo western nnd south ern Btntca wero roprosontod. Following: an address of wolconio by President nyllesby tho convention, with F. II. Tldnam of Oklahoma City presiding as chairman, settled down to a four-dnya consideration of n H0 program composon of professional tluand technical papers. p Mr. nyllesby said In part: "I hopo I Bhnll bo pardoned If I . rofor to tho mnrvclnuR development In tho marvoloiiHly short tlmo occupi ed of nil tho onterprlsoa coming un der tho gonornl term "public sorvlco . corporations." "Tho inon who had tho courngo and tho faith to Invest their own for tunes, groat or small, and by sacri fices of ovory description to Induce tho Investing of nddltlounl capital In tho betterment of thlH business at a tlmo when It was looked on as ex periments nud chimerical and un profitable, think theso men de sorvo n fnlr hearing nt tho hands of tho public and that nlongsldo of their derelictions should bo placed tho overwhelming number of benefits they have conferred upon tho com munlty at largo. Decauso somo of tho pioneers nnd prominent workers of tho public borvlce business, as tho result of years of toll and conscien tious Industry, along with certain human errors nnd mlstnkes havo amassed Independent fortunes, we should not closo our oyes to the fact that tho great numorlcal mnjorlty llcd heart broken nnd In ponury. "It would nppoar that tho world hns advanced to n point whoro con troversies should bo handled In nn ndvnnced nnd enllghtonod spirit whoio heartburnings and unfair nd vantngos or arguments on ono side or tho other of the enso should be nvoidod. It would appear monstrous that tho policies of a mercantile as sociation or cotporntlon should 1H xovlowod and governed by n board J composed of physicians, clergymen or lawyers. It would bo porhnps equally Inappropriate If tho same mercantile organization wero to have its affairs passed upon nnd rules made for Its government by n board made up of public service of lkors nnd of farmers, and so on through tho category. "On tho broad question of public sorvlco commissions believe, speak ing for nil of my associates, thero la no objection to tho public sorvlco commission per bo., but a very earn est plea is made that tho public sor vlco commission should ho composed of men of Intogrlty nnd of ability, and men who havo had a prnvlous experi ence In tho bUBlnoss In regard to which they aro proposing, under col or of n law, to pass regulations nnd rules. "I bollovo n largo part of tho pro sont unrest and antagonism between corporations nnd tho commissions and law makers would disappear If tho corporations appeared boforo bo dies composed of, as wo havo pre viously briefly roforred to, men of breadth of vision, freo from favor itism nnd who had n working knowl edge of (ho problems confronting tho enterprises upon which they nro pass ing." VIeo-Prosldent Arthur S. Huoy, discussing tho subject of "Franchi ses," said: "To many tho possession of a pub lic utility franchise Is only an oppor tunity for personal gain to tho con scientious man such possession moans nn opportunity of administering to the public welfnre. A city In grunt lug u franchise not only places in the hands of tho grantee an asset of vnl- ue but makes tho grantee n trustee of the public good. Tho term Itsolf, public utilities, Implies being useful and therefore of benefit to tho pub lic. To attain this end that sorvlco must bo competent. Along with this grant go certain legal restrictions and rights. "Spenklng for II. M. nyllesby Com pany, I sny to you that our organiz ation profers to consider the spirit rather than tho letter of tho law, be lieving that If wo administer our af fairs as u public trust, wo will seldom or never requlro dofenso of any legal rights. "We, ns manngors nnd oporntors of oloctrlc, gas, street railway nnd telephone properties, prefer to retain our franchises by retaining tho con fidence of the people; to hold tho privileges conforred by tho public, not by right of law, but by right of merit. "So thoroughly doos our organisa tion bollovo In this principle, and so nnxlous nro we for Its genuine appli cation In nil tho municipalities In which wo operate utilities, that lam now making a Bpeelul effort to deep ly Impress upon you Its far reaching significance. "In few other linos of endeavor do potty practices cost so dearly ns they do lu tho operation of public ulllt-' ties. It Is suicidal to adopt n policy, bounded by tho straight-laced terms of contract and franchise, capsheafed by tho motto "wo don't havo to." "Tho 'wo don't havo to' spirit, gen tlemen, has caused unmeasured woo to public utility corporations. It was ono of tho mortnl Bins of tho old fashioned operator, and wo of tho presont day aro still doing pennanco for Its commission. "Transact your business nbovo board.

Yet Mr. Urownlng could not recall her namo. nnd ho judged from her nppenranco that she wns not an Invited guest.

Whereupon Mr. Drowning, offering his arm, showed her about tho room with nil the attention that ho could havo bestowed upon a reigning queen. A Leading Citizen.
