SQUABBLE
PROMISED
When the Independent TeIe-
phone Co. Demands $500

Another chapter TO the notorious
telephone fight In the city council
u likely TO be added at the meeting
Of the municipal body Monday night.
X Is the old discussion about
whether the city shall return the
$500 guaranty put up by the rnde-
pendent Telephone Go. that II wotls
carry out all the requirements ~
its franchise As stated In the star.
the company sent a request 10
Comptroller Paul. asking a return
OF the money, and Comptroller paul
referred the matter TO council. II :.
the second request the company has
made for the money. Councilman
Byers viii lead the fight In oppoTl-
ton, on the grounds that the InAe-
pendent Telephone Co. Is not en-
titled TO recover. because II never
did lick Of work TO comply with
its franchise. The old Automatic
Go. is now out Of existence. and IL
franchise f. surrendered, but In
fact that company " stu In ex-
istence and operating under the In
dependent franchise.
Refused TO Return u
Last August the same question was
brought up, and by a vote Of seven
70 ak council refused 10 return the
money. Yet II did pass two ord
inances- One stated that the Inde-
pendent Co. had complied with it,
franchise requirements. but that the
$500 guaranty should be held sub
ject TO the forfeiture BY the city.
The other ordinance passed credit
ed 70 the Independent Co. with the
work done under the Automatic
franchise
Some members OF council claim
that the passage Of the last-named
ordinance gives the Independent Co
sufficient grounds 20 ask for a re-
turn Of the money. Councilman
Byers declares that that was not
the intention OF council when ths
ordinance was passed.
At any rate a lively time may b.
expected when the company's petit
ticn comes up.

Whatever one may think about the
Negro forming political alliance with
the Roman Catholic Church, the black
man.may learn much from the soil
darity of that massive institution, and
study with profit the practical mani.
festations of its ministry. The Catholic
Church looks after the education Of It's
people, and is particularly jealous in
safeguarding the virtue of Its girls.
No one is ever turned away empty
handed from a Catholic Institution, nor
is counsel denied the Lowest sinner. Let
a calloused murderer, whom Protest
ants have given up as irredeemable,
refuse spiritual consolation, the CathO-
lie priest is found watching and pray
ing to the end. The terrors of the
leprosy and the hardships of new coun-
tries are patiently endured, and color
has no influence to lessen their re-
gard fer their plain duty. In the time
of riots. like that of Wilmington, the
Negroes haven of safety has more than
once been the shelter of a Catholic
roof. The black man may form no
political or other alliance with his
church. but when powerful agencies
for protection are to be sought, the
worldwide power of the Catholic
Church is not to be lightly sneered at

be cast to the winds, and every effort
bent toward securing the greatest good
to the greatest number Just who is

honest, manly and resourcetul. The et'
