PARTY LINE"
TELEPHONE EXCHANGE SERVICE.

The CENTRAL UNION TELEPHONE COMPANY
has successfully devised apparatus by means
of which without in the least impairing
the efficiency Of transmission) two or more
subscribers stations may be operated upon
the same line or circuit, and be enabled to
signal the central office, without disturbing
each other. This improvement relieves par
ty-linen service of its principal annoyance
and makes it popular with a very large class
of telephone users.
In offering this class Of service for either
grounded or metallic circuits, the Company
aims TO bring that which is of the highest
grade within the satisfactory reach of those
whose requirements for telephone service are
but limited, and TO make its cost TO them ma.
terially less than the regular rates charged
for independent-line" service
The Company refers with perfect conf
dence to those Of its present subscribers who
are using "party-line" service with this
improved apparatus.
The rates for this service will be quoted
upon application to the Manager, OF he will
be glad to call upon those who request IL.

A SMALL BOYS NIGHT OF TERROR

Alexander Laskie has a lively knowl-
edge of the terrors that visit an S-yesr-
old boy imprisoned in the lonesome clos
ct of schoolhouse for long, cold and
dreary night. He knows what 1t Is to
cry for hours in helpessness.
The boy remained after school with
a teacher to clean off the blackboards,
and then stepped into the closet Fred
erick A. Laubinger is janitor of the
building. He noticed the teachers all
leave the building and began about 4
o'clock to close the windows and lock
the doors. He went into the closet In
the basement. let down two windows
and called out twice: anybody in
here?" Receiving no c1sponse, he
locked up the building
When the Janitor opened the door of
the closet In the morning he found little
Alexander Laskie lying on the floor In
stiff and senseless sleep The ianitor
tried to arouse him, then picked up the
half-frozen boy and carried him 10 the
furnace, where he was gradually
warmed into life. Mr.. Laubnger sent
the child to the home OF friend near by
where the famishing boy eagerly de-
voured coffee and rolls at an alarming
rate. The lads parents had spent a
sleepless night inouirlng at the police
stations and making search for him
among the neighhors, and ii was a
joyful reunion when he walked into the
house. When ]. p Farnsworth. prirci-
pal of the school, learned of the accident
he advised the father to call a physi-
clan, and when told the father was poor

THE CHARTER AMENDMENTS S

The proposed charter amendments
should be adopted. 1t is true they will
make some radical changes in the pres
ent system Of municipal government,
but not more so than the best interests
of the city demand. The purpose of the
new charter, for that is what 1t amounts
to, is to have the affairs Of the city con-
Quoted upon sound business principles
with responsibility resting where it can
be made responsible,
The amendments, as a whole, seek to
provide a system OF government which
shall be as free as possible of the hurt
full influences of the ward boss. In fact,
there will be no place for him at all if
the new charter is adopted, and to elm
mate the spoils of Office patriots from
the political life of the community IS a
consumation devoutly to be wished
A few object to the amendments be
cause they clothe the mayor with ex-
traordinary power. but they fail to see
that he would be held closer to his du-
ties and would have fewer opportunities
to evade responsibilities than under the
present system. The main purpose of
the amendments is to do away with op-
portunlty to divide responsibility. I'm
der the system we have now, investiga To-
tion of the city concerns is lost in red
tape. after tracing from cause to effect
through the various branches and de-
partments of government
Tie Idea is to elect man mayor and
authorize him to conduct The affairs OF
the city just as he would conduct the
business of a great commercial enter
prise, but to do that he must have the
right to select his help" OF course, un-
der such a system, no one would be
thought OF for mayor who did not have
the confidence of the people. both as to
his business ability and as to his busl
ness integrity. But, while the new
charter would clothe the mayor with
extraordinary power, there would be
checks at every turn. which he could not
evade If he would In other words. the
IDEA is to administer the public affairs
OF Los Angeles as business proposition.
and employ common business sense prin-
ciples and methods in doing it.

TRAMPS AND THEIR TRADES

IN talking with an aggregate of L., 900
idle men during his travels, j. Syme
Hastings AYERS that 4 4S00 out of every
5000 tramps have trades, and he shows
the percentage of different trades and
callings. According to him, the brick
layer is in the lead in the building
trades, with 2o0 out Of each 1000 tramps
most of which are in the south, where
the colOred bricklayers are in demand
on account of their working at much
cheaper wage than their white brother
Next comes the plumber, with about 200
in each 5000 most of which are credited
with being unfinished workmen. Then
the painters appear with about $50 in
each 1000 tramps. and these are all ac-
credited as skilled mechanics, and the
writer adds if all of those who could
paint were included the number would
be doubled, and We are prepared to
state that if all who claim to be painters
were added he could quadruple the num-
Der. Timers average about 125 in each
5000, carpenters about 70, iron workers
about S5 and stonemasons about so in
each 5000. So it will be seen that if the
many trades still unmentioned that con-
tribute to the building trades were in
cluded in the above they would bring
the average up to about 700 in each
5000, nearly one in every four. In con-
clusion Mr. Hastings says that the aver
age tramp has a fairly good education.
The ragged garb of the tramp conceals
many faults and virtues in men. The
escaped convict and the eX-minister of
the gospel sleep soundly at the same
campfire and share handouts. But who
shall throw the first stone? Who knows
when his turn shall come to join tine
army? a few months out of work, a few
hundred miles away from home. and you
are d tramp in the eyes of the people
and the law-even though your spirit
rebels and you know that you are simply
lin hard luck. Chicago Chronicle.
