What Cuba's Loss Means to Spain

The loss of Cuba means to Spain the loss of the very sustenance of the nation. Already her tax ridden people are crying for bread. In the same way the loss of your once vgor- ous appetite means poverty and starvation to your body. If any reader of this paper wishes to be as hungry again when child. and wants to fully enjoy hearty meals can recommend Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. It cures indigestion, dyspepsia and constipation.

confers more than the givers

All these local companies
springing up through the state
they are probably controlled
by the central company, whose
formal organization has not
yet been made. Anticipating
ends that, however desirable
they may be for the public,
could not be accomplished if
the purposes were plainly
stated.
In other cases the franchise
is sought merely to forestall
the company that is to build,
so that the promoters will have
to deal with the thrifty fran
chise-seekers. We have all
seen instances of that. IF
there is any value in the fran
chise the city may as well have
it as let it go to these adven-

But the strongest reason lies
in the same fact that the city
has no way of telling with
whom it is dealing. We have
a local telephone franchise ex-
pirirg pretty soon and we want
to see that the city gets first
rate terms if the franchise is
renewed at all. Whoever these
long distance people are, and
whatever they want of the
franchise, it is certain Duluth
cannot make the right terms
with the Duluth Telephone
company while a franchise is
outstanding whether the new
franchise seekers are another
name for the same thing or
not. "ti5 *'.' Il 5. .'s. ~ :. ~
Restrictions touching local
service? Yes, but those clauses
are apt to be leaky. There will
be no fatal harm in waiting a
few months. There may be
fatal harm in letting any fran
chise go at this time.
On general principles it is
better to wait. Duluth can get
along without the long dis
tance telephone if necessary,
much better than Duluth can
spare the franchise. Wait, and
they will have to come to us.
