COMPANY WINS
Denies Petition for Rsargumsnt

The appellate division OF the supreme
court has denied complainants petition
for a reargument In the case OF Clarence
T. Gardiner VS.. Providence Telephone
company Some time ago the court decid-
ed that DIR. Gardiner could not use an
extension TO his telephone furnished by
an outside concern
In the opinion handed down today the
court says the evidence does not convince
a majority OF the court that such a COM
bination as the complainant proposes can
be made generally without impairment
OF the service. The company offers to
annex to the complalnants grounded cir
cult, for a reasonable price, such an
extension set as is appropriate, says
the court" for the circuit and which
Il contends will give reasonable service.
This is all the complainant can demand.
lie Is I'm default I'm not requesting the
willing 10 give him, and I'm insisting on
the exact form of apparatus which he
has installed"
All the points the court says were
carefully considered In its former opinions
and adds that "the question OF price is
not strictly before the court as the com
plainant does not desire this kind OF SER
vice. and the defendant will not tolerate
the combination which the complainant
has made at any price"

THE CABINET MEETS

At II o'clock all the members OF the
cabinet had arrived at the White House
and were soon seated around the familiar
table. President Roosevelt occupied a
seat at its head and I'm the chair long
occupied by his predecessor. 1t all seemed
strange to those devoted advisers Of the
dead president to sit at the table without
him at It's head, the gloom and solem-
nifty which characterized the meeting was
not uubehtting the occasion.
Nearly all the members of the present
cabinet are quite sure to remain during
Mr.. Roosevelt's term. but It is very possi-
BILE that Secretary Long will retire within
the next few months. He feels that he
can resign without embarrassment to Mr..
Roosevelt and therefore II is thought that
within the next few months he will ask
the president TO permit him to retire to
private life

 The reader does not need to be very old who remembers the first organized ap- pearance of what we term anarchism. Its present status furnishes an apt Il. lustration of the radical change of what chism as 1t was taught by its founder.

This was Proudhon. the cele- brated French writer on Socialism By this he did not mean disorder, but the absence through education of effective self, 1t had however. the germ of the extremest Socialism.

 Under the banner of anarchism have been committed some of the most heinous crimes of our generation.

 Act the second: Tue marriage altar: full organ; bright lights; long white veil trailing through the aisle; prayer and congratulation and exclamation of How well she looks.''
 Act the third: A woman waiting for staggering steps, old garments stuck into the broken window pane; marks of hard ship on the face; the biting of the nails of bloodless fingers; neglect and cruelty and despair. Ring the bell, and let the curtain drop.
 Act the fourth: Three graves In a dark place-graVe of the child that died for lack of medicine, grave of the wife that died of broken heart, grave of the man that died of dissipation. Oh, what a blasted heath with three graves! Plenty of weeds, but no flowers. Ring the bell. and let the curtain drop.
