After serving the Bell Telephone Cone
pany with much moro delay than was
ssemlng, Councilman List has come tor-
ward with telephone ordinance which
q triumph Of Ingenuity. The ordI-
nance is not in the Interest Of the city
ana 1hs people q wheeling by any msn-
ner OF means II Is strictly In the Interest
OF the Bell Telephone Company. and
must be the work Of counsel for that cor
pSratIon.
The ordinance of the Peoples sTeie-
phone Company was submitted to COM
mItee OF which Mr. List IS a member. In
stead Of reporting oh that ordinance or
anything Ike It. Ne Llst come forward
with an ordnance intended to make Inn
possible the construction OF competing
plant by the Peoples Telephone cOm-
pany, or any other company. This is
true Notwithstanding the fact that the
ordinance offers the so-called franchise
70 any company that may take up with
II.
This was safe enough because nobody
would put his capital into an enterprise
80 hampered. In fact the ordinance Of
fered by Mr. Lis, was prepared with this
very Intent It comes to this now. that If
the people OF Wheeling want the same
chance tina; the people Of other cities are
having TO get the benefits Of competition
in telephone service. council must grant
something very Observation-Disclosures
Of the Bell Telephone Company as ex-
pressed by Councilman List.
Six hundred people IN Wheeling have
said aver their signatures thar they wish
ed the service offered by the Peoples
Telephone Company. Among other bene-
fits which thy would derive from this SER
vice are much lower rates than the BELL
Telephone Company charges. But this
does no, satisfy Mr.. List, Who provides
IN his ordinance for rates sun lower. We
cannot believe that /: Is the desire of the
people Of wheeling to rally around the
Ben Telephone compony to the extent Of
insuring that corporation against all
competition in this city; nor are We
ready to believe that the city council Is
prepared TO say to the people Of Wheel
Ing that a majority Of It's members are
under the thumb of the Bell Telephone
Company.
The Bell Telephone Company has had
about all that It ever asked for from
wheeling, and for years 1t has had rich
pasturlge In ;his field. Naturally II does
NOT like TO share this field with anybody;
but the interest OF the Bell Telephone
Company Is not the interest OF the people
Of wheeling.
I, The council il chozen 70 represent the
Interest OF the city Of Wheeling, not the
interest OF the Bell Telephone Company.
or any other corporation. couReil hay-
ing always been liberal to the Bell Tele-
prone Company. certainly Il viii now be
lust to the people OF Wheeling. who are
entitled TO protection against anybody's
monopoly
What the council should do Is TO pass a
fair ordinance, guarding carefully all
pubile Interests, and give to tho new en-
terprlse and to the people a fair chance
IN the field Of telephone competition. The
people Of other cities- are given this, ana
surely the people OF Wheeling ar entitled
10 no less At the hands of their represen-
;atlves.

'The New and True Religion" by
Charles 81. stebbins, Is work OF some
what unique construction in the book
line. The title Is misleading. lnasmuch
as the religious discussion only takes
up IS pages OF the 33s comprised In the
volume. The new and true religion
which the author advocates Is nothing
more than pure ratiOnnllsm. The gold
en- rule which ATr. Stebblns has evolved
Is Enjoy life all sou can without
abrldging the right OF another to his
enjoyment" which borders on the per-
sonRl liberty contention Of certain fac
lions OF the several political parties.
The authorA 1lews arc very liberal, some
Of them cOnSmendable and worthy OF
the acceptance OF all creeds, but his
conclusions and methods are at va
Rance WIKI all orthodox beliefs Many
OF his schemes for the betterment OF the
human race are visionary and impTac-
tlcRble. The author began life as a
poor boy and by his own eXeTtions
nmassed q large fortune. The other
subjects treated by bIr. Stebblns are
wills and requests" education"
rather fulsome. but interesting auto

The growth OF protective sentiment,

fact that members OF that party have
found themselves unable to agree about
methods Of fighting the tariff bill. The
old line Democrats in the senate when
their party got together In caucus wanted
10 fight the tarln on old free trade lines,
but they found the younger and protec-
tive element was so strong against them
that they were obliged TO abandon the

Judge Gibbons of the Circuit court
of Chicago has just rendered decis-
ion of the greatest Importance to I'M
ions owning and using union labels.
The prosecution was instituted by the
Cigar Makers union against j. Bern
stein for initiating the blue label and
was brought before Judge Gibbons on
an appeal from 500 fine imposed by
a Justice of the peace. The decision,
which recognizes the validity of the
label in every particular, is made more
valuable because of the fact that the
Bernstein label had been registered by
the secretary of state. The attorneys
for the defense insisted that the court
had no jurisdiction. % The punish
ment provided being fine or imprison-
ment, or both, defendant could only
be placed on trial through indictment
by a grand jury, and that section OF
the statute which authorized the COM
planning witness to prosecute for the
recovery of a fine only before justices
of the peace was unconstitutional and
void: (2) that the Cigar Makers In
ternational union of America, not being
incorporated, had no standing in court;
f., (3) that it was incumbent on the prose-
cution to show a re-registration of the
label since the adoption of the amend
ments to the statutes in 1895, which
was not done; az the law licensed the
doing of the act which is now charged
| as a crime, as the secretary of state
! had registered the label claimed to
be an imitation of that of the cigar
makers, and had issued to the defend
ant a certificate of such registration
| (5) that the label complained of is not
in fact an imitation Of the cigar max
ers' label, and that in law the deter
