Aberdeen Telephone Exchange.
To our Subscribers
Do not allow others 10 use your
phone over our country subscri o.
ers' lines, or call up and get in
formation for them yourself, unless
you collect for the message and re-
port to Central when you make
the call. Remember that you are
only paying US to give you service
and that non u bscribers have as
much right to walk in store and
carry out goods without paying
for them, as to have us give them
the use of our telephones and lines
without paying US for the same.
1t is our aim that the use Of our
telephones shall be a pleasure as
we'll as a profitable investment for
our patrons and we shall strive TO
accomplish that end. If your tel
ephone works badly. or you have
trouble of any kind that is our
fault, don't lose your patience and
condemn our service, but report
the nature of the trouble and it
will have our prompt attention and
all necessary repairs made at once
HOW TO USE YOUR 'PHoNE.
To call Central give one ring;
when Central answers tell him
your wants in as few words as pos
sibIe, as he has many calls to an
swer. When through talking give
one very quick, short ring, which
is signal to Central to disconnect
you If you wish another connec-
ton wait few seconds for Cen
trail to break the previous connec-
ton and then ring as before. If
you fail to get Central this time
and same party you have been
talking with answers. Central has
not, for some reason, heard your
ring off signal, or has a rush of
calls just at that time. so just be
patient and after waiting a few
seconds ring again, which will in
most every case get Central with
out very much delay.
Don't fall out with Central if |
the party you call fails to answer
promptly. Remember that all she |
can do is to ring, which she always
does, and if you are patient and |
kind, instead of abusive and I'M
appreciative, she only tries the |
harder to get what you ask for to |
show her gratitude for your kind /
patience with her. When you have
had connection up for some time
you will sometimes hear the oper-
ator say. "waiting?" which means,
has the party answered you and |
are you waiting for him to look up
something for you? in which case
YOU should say, Yes" otherwise
say. No Answer" or They Did
Not Answer" and then the opera
tor rings for them again.
Talk in Gear, medium tone of |
of voice, with your mouth within
two inches of the transmitter and
directly in front of it, and at the
same time press the receiver tight
ly to your ear SO rs to exclude out
side noise, unless the party talking
to you sounds too loud and harsh.
in which case you would find it
better to hold the receiver about a
quarter of an inch from your ear
and at the same time ask the party
talking not to speak so close to his
If you hear very
family ask the party you are talk
ing with to get near his phone and
at the same time press your re-
ceiver more tightly against the ear
Please call by number instead

Cleveland Could Win.

uc ouiy uOPc W citC' Lcuo-
cratic president in 1904 lies in
nominating a leader who can draw
enough conservative Eastern peo-
pie to capture the electoral vote of
two or more of the Middle Atlantic
or Middle Western States. The
tendency of one or the other of the
great political parties toward radi-
calism since the war has driven a
considerable conservative element
to neutral ground, or to active sup
port against its party predictions.
This was the case in both Instances
in which Mr. Cleveland was elect
ed, and later when Mr.. Mckinley
was chosen by such decided ma
iorities over Col. Bryan. Rum,
Romanism and Rebellion" was the
radicalism under which Blaine
went down in defeat and the free
and unlimited coinage of silver"
was an issue that brought like fate
to Mr.. Bryan. In both instances
the balance of power was held by
the vote of the Eastern States and
was polled on the side of conserv-
alive government. No Democratic
candidate can be elected next year
without the aid of this conserva-
tive Eastern vote and Mr.. Cleve-
land is the only democrat that
could with any liability attract
IT, Mr.. Roosevelt, who will be the
nominee of the Republican party
next year. is cratic and so radical
in his views that large element
of voters in the East will be driven
to safer exponent of government
even If that be the nominee of an
opposing party, and no man has
inspired the people of that section
with greater confidence in himself
than Grover Cleveland.
The battle ground on which a
Democratic president can be won
next year is, therefore, such East
ern States as a strong leader can
marshal into the Democratic col
umn, and but one Democrat lives
whose influence can sway them
from Republican allegiance, and
that Democrat is Mr.. Cleveland.
True, that Mr.. Cleveland is not
popular in the South nor the West:
Notwithstanding if he were nomi-
mated he would not lose an electo-
raj vote on that account, for the
South would be solid for the Dem
ocratic nominee anyway, and the
w est, as foregone conclusion,
would vote almost solidly for
Roosevelt. The strongest opposi-
ton to Mr.. Cleveland comes from
the South and the West, two sec
tons whose voting status would
not be changed in the least no
mater whom the convention might
name for the presidency, but in
case of its naming Mr.. Cleveland
it is clear that enough conservative
votes could be won IN the East and
Middle West to achieve Demo
cratic success.
Under the circumstances, Mr..
Bryan and the far Western demo
Gratis whose sentiments controlled |
in the last two presidential cam
paigns, ought to be content for the
Eastern Democrats TO name the |
nominee. If they should not be. |
little attention should be paid them
by the South who should join
forces with the Eastern Democrats |
and nominate Mr.. Cleveland who
could be elected.

WILL ELEVATE CoNSTABULARY
Graduates of American Military
schools to BE Given an
Opportunity.

WASHINGTON, May S.-The Wal depart
ment is giving serious consideration to a
proposition that. has come through Colonel
Edwards, chief of the bureau of insular
affairs. from General Henry 4. Allen. chief
of the Philippines constabulary, looking
to the Improvement of that service.
General Allen belives that a fine career
offers in the constabulary for graduates
of the American military schools who have
any special aptitude for military work.
He believes that fifteen or twenty such
young men annually could be placed in the
constabulary as officers to the advantage
Of the service and of those selected.
While at first the men appointed would
not be as valuable as the hIgnest grade of
non-commissioned officers who already
have had service in the Philippines, General
Allen feels that in the long run they would
be superior TO the class of men who are
now entering the service. The pay and
emoluments are to be increased. At present
the pay runs from $500 to $500 for a third
lieutenant to 81, 200 to 1000 for a captain,
besides which the allowances are ample
for house rent and there are no hospital
expenses.
For the number of stations, the per-
centage of officers in the co~nstabulary is
large. Their duties are much more re-
sponsible and varied than that of corre-
spending grades in the regular service.
Heretofore the department has pursued the
plan of allowing the Philippine government
to select all its contabulary officers. pref
erence being given to discharged soldiers
who have picked up a knowledge of Span
ish and Tagalog and have become ac-
quainted with the country through their
military service.
1t is not intended to depart from this
policy to any considerable degree, but It
is probable that General Aliens suggestions
will be accepted as a means of elevating
