Gumpert, the photographic expert who

of intriguing on both sides, and tactics
have been resOrted 10 such as II may
be hoped are very seldom employed In
litigation. The principle of fighting
the devil with fire has been acted upon
to an unprecedented extent and with

OF the principal wheat counties have

The Telephone Monopoly.

The Indiana Legislature has just
passed bill limiting the rental of tele-
phones in that State to three
dollars per month, with re-
duction of fifty cents when two
or more are used by the same firm.
The telephone has become a public ne
cessity, but it is in the hands of pow
eriul monopoly, who have become
enormously rich within short lime
from the burdensome tax they have i'm
posed upon the people. New inven-
tons have been quickly bought up or
outlawed by the use of immense CAPT.
tai, thus leaving the public still to suf-
fer There seems to be but one way
by which the people can be protected,
and that is by State legislation, and the
example of Indiana should be quickly
followed by every other State. Three
dollars per month will afford the tele-
phone company big interest upon the
Investment, while they are now in some
cities exacting the enormous tariff OF
eight to fifteen dollars per month. 1t
Is time to stop it, and it is to be hoped
legislators will afford their constituents
the needed relief without loss of time.

The GAINESVILLE Democrat processes
to be surprised that the SOUTm KEN
TUCKIAN did not close its columns
against Sheriff Boyd in the contro.
versy between him and Capt. Carkuif.
The Democrat forgets that the contro-
versy was begun in Clarksville and
that Mr.. Boyd has only acted on the
defensive. The charge that there was
"blackguardism" and "denunciation"
in Mr.. Boyd's reply is not borne out
by the facts. Ifthe afiidavits of seven
teen men have no weight with the
Democrat, then it would not be con-
WINGED even though an angel should
appear to corroborate Mr.. Boyd in his
statements. To undertake at this
stage of the game to plead the baby
act is in striking contrast to the brag
and bluster of the first assault Capt.
Carkntf's home papers made upon
Sheriff Boyd.
