Telephone Monopoly Has Been Crushed
by Rivals.

The Cuyahoga Independent Tele-
phone Co. may buy out the Cleveland
Telephone Co., says the Plain Dealer.
The latter is the old Bell organization
and the majority of its stock is owned
by the Erie system, and the majority
OF the stock Of the Erie system Is own
ed by the Whitneys Of New York, who
are identified with the independent
movement.
Rumors Of telephone deal have
been current for some time. but the
reports have been that the Independent
company would be swallowed up by
the Bell organization. The Cuyahoga
company is not for sale at any price,
so Harry D. Critchfeld, counselor for
the United States company, declared
yesterday.
He said "The Cuyahoga people
would buy the Bell company, The on
ly possible telephone deal between the
Cleveland companies is that we will
p1rchase the Cleveland Telephone Co.
The Cuyahoga company is not for
sale. There will be no deal this spring
or summer, but in all probability
deal may be consummated during the
latter part of the present year.
"rhe Cuyahoga company stands
ready to buy the Cleveland company.
The only obstacle In the way might
he on the terms. No negotiations have
been opened as yet between the two
companies. But we are ready to buy
while we will not sell under any cir
cumstances. The cleveland company
is the only property which the Erie
system owns In Ohio. while we have
plants all over the state Of Ohio. The
United States Long Distance Co. has
thousands of miles of toll lines all over
Ohio and the number OF independent
exchanges In the state Is 219. 1t can
readily be seen that we would not sell
Cleveland when our independent bus
ihess in the state is SO extensive. We
have now more exchanges In the state
than the Bell people,
1t will be remembered that short
time ago the Erie system purchased
the Detroit independent company.
While this was going on the independ-
ent people were buying up the stock
of the Erie system. When the Detroit
company WINS bought, the Bell interests
in the Erie system attempted to shut
off the United States long distance con-
nection with Detroit. They found.
however. that they did not have votes
enough, and as a result the United
States company, which is owned SUBJ
stantial,y by the same people who own
the Cuyahoga company, still has long
distance connection with Detroit, The
Whltneys OF New York, who own the
majority OF the stock In the Erie sys-
TEN, are negotiating with the United
States people .or New York connec-
tlons.
The annual meeting of the national
association of independent telephone
people will be held In Cleveland dur,
ing the second week In June. The con,
vention will be attended by from 500 to
800 delegates The national associa.

that Japan would like, for many rea-
sons, such a Judgment on the main

But what Japan most wants IS TO

that all China is not large enough to

METHODS OF "CIviLiZATI0N.

Chicago journal.
IF you close with the enemy, re-
member this: Spare nobody! Make
no prisoners. Use your weapons so
that for a thousand years hence no
Chinaman will dare look askance at
any German. Open the way to civil
lization once for all ~
This is what the German emperor
is reported TO have said to the eXpe-
dictionary force departing from
Bremerhaven on "an errand of
mercy" in China.
Pretty sentiment, isn't it +? The
kaiser is going to open the way for
civilization with the weapons and
methods of barbarism. A Chinaman
who "looks askance' at II German
must be slain. This means oblitera-
ton of the race, for all Cinnamon
look askauce. It's their nature to,
and the fault of their eyes. Contact
with German traders has not taught
them the full, round, red stare of the
reutonic eye. They must be cut
down for the error of their sight.
Why not carry the instructions
further? The Chinese have massa-
cred women and children. The Ger
mans must do the same. The Chin
csc dismember the bodies of the
slain. The allied forces must teach
them how wrong this is by treating
the bodies of their dead in the same
manner. The Chinese torture their
victims We trust the transports are
properly equipped with thumbscrews
and boots. Undoubtedly II good
many could be found in the Hohen-
zollern castles--a little rusty, but
they could be restored by Herr
Krupp under the personal direction
of the emperor.
When we read this brilliant adj
dress we wonder if China is to be
civilized by the decivilization of
