.THE.NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY
Mr.. Byrd Explains the Bill Asking fol
Il Charter.
Icomnllnicated.)

Editor of The Times:
Sir,-I am glad to see in public print
this morning a full and correct COPY OF
the sproposed charter of the Virginia Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company. The In
3corporators of the bill court the fullest
INQUIRY into its merits andi the greatest
possible publicity of its provisions. They
are confident that the bill will become
strong in proportion to the knowledge OF
its scope and limitations.
The complaint and the only complaint,
made by the several municipal corpora
tons or their attorneys IS that the bill
takes away from the cities and towns OF
the Commonwealth the right Oh local self
government. Let us see. The bill pro-
svides that the telephone company may
enter any city, town. OF county. pro-
videL, Il however, that the ordinary use
of such streets. highways. works. and
waters be not thereby Distracted, and
that the said company shall be subject
to reasonable regulations by the cor
porate authorities of any city or. town as
to the use Of streets and alleys. and In
respect to location and proper matnte-
nance of such lines of telephone or tele-
graph within the limits of such city or
town.
Therefore, instead of preventing local
rule, this bill expressly provides for and
afIirms 1t. But the municipal opponents
lis destroyed because this bill renders us
unable to prevent telephone. company
from coming into our cities, although il
gives US the right to regulate them after
they are in.
Let us see. The il Legislature, Is the sole
repository OF powersover public highways.
1t has the power to- loosen or to bind.

MAN AND WIFE.
See Changes as They Change.

To sweeten sour human nature, one OF
the best methods is to leave off coffee II
it gives you dyspepsia or makes you
nervous.
II asked husband this morning to write
out a testimonial for the Postum cereal
Co, and from it quote. J. am pleased
to be able to state that my wife mas

nerves while formerly I was%often 1rr--

t.rey cured of insomnia by leaving OIL
coffee and taking up Postum. He sleeps
now like a baby, from the time ne goes
to bed until morning, and perhaps his i'm
provement Is partly reason for his
seeing such an Improvement in me. At
any. rate. our old sickness aud troubles
nave disappeared.
IT had tried everything for my sick
headaches. but as long as stuck to the
co,ree, the headaches stuck to me. It
took us a little while to learn that we
must follow. the directions in making Pos-.
rum, in order to obtain a really palata-
bic delicious beverage. People must get
any kind of a slipshod way and have IT
good Theegreat element in making good
Postum is to allow 1t plenty..of time to
boil. That IS certainly simple enough.
and when the, cook becomes accustomed
to making Postum. one can depend upon
regular quality every morning.
II know people who seam TO be able
to drink coffee, with no bad effects: and
on the other hand. know that probably
one-half Of all my friends are more or.
less unpleasantly affected with coffee,
when tneys persist in using 1t, but Pos
tum has obtained q strong hold since its
qualities have become known and great
many Of our friends are steady users Of
Postum in place of the ordinary coffee

Bogus Prosperity.

The newspapers tell us of prosperity,
but it is not the prosperity of the toll
er. The spectators, the manipula-
tors, the great trusts are fattening,
but they are eating the vitals of the
nations. Again, to-day we see two
wars waged in remote lands; both are
wars of subjugation and conquest.
Strange as it may seem, both are
waged by nations that have made
much pretense about liberty, freedom
and Justice. Both of these wars were
begun and are now prosecuted, not
by the people who do the worlds
work, but by the class that devour
the substance of other mems toll.
These classes are always hostile to
liberty and are always ready to de-
stroy republican institutions. They
have no standard of justice except
their own selfishness. 1t is the men
who have to work for living that
are always ready to respect the rights
Of others. While the savage work of
devastating fields, burning towns and
Strengthening men, women and chill
dren is being carried on in the inter-
est of corruption and greed, the In
telligence of the world is insulted
with the bombastic pretense that this
is all done to give these unfortunate
people the blessings of civilization.
Our part in this unholy business must
make every true American blush

consequences, Notwithstanding Mr..

out that favored the resolution prom.
Using independence. The bloodshed in
the Philippine Islands is upon those
who refused to deal with the FilipInos
on American principles. 1t is coward.
ly for the Republicans to attempt to
evade the responsibility.
''If they favored the war of con,
quest they should have the courage
to avow it and give the real reasons
for it-namely, that they desire to
give the syndicates chance to ex
plot the islands.
"The thing that surprises me about
Mr.. Grosvenor's charge is that he lays
the blame on the Democrats. Hereto
fore the Republicans have laid it on
Providence!"
