Two Systems Were Dad

CA Lincoln gentleman. who is net
much enthused with the idea of a dou-
BILE telephone system in this city,
handed The Independent the follow
ing clipping from an iowa paper, with
a request that it be reproduced The
sweet singer" of Moline Is one of the
promoters of the new system here
Ed Ind.)
1t takes a good deal Of hard luck to
persuade some people, says the Dav.
export, Ia, Democrat, but by the per-
sis.ent hammering of stubborn facts
into them they finally get wisdom. 1t
hurts when it comes hard in that
way, but it comes to stay when t.
comes. ... .. .
Two or three years ago Moline
could not wait till she got new tele-
phone exchange. Listening to the
The independent., 1903-06-11

siren song of that sweet singer, Frank
l.. Bills, she believed that all she had
to do was to give him a franchise, and
tnen proceed to talk over a nice, new,
independent" exchange, and throw
away the Central Union Telegraph
company's instruments. Bills sail
that this happened everywhere he
came down to earth. Whenever he lit
the grasping Bell monopoly withered
away like Jonah's gourd, and the new
independent" exchange took the bus
mess at less than half the rates and
paid as high as 36 per cent dividends.
Those are the very showings he made
r gnL there in the Office of the Demo-
crat. And Moline believed him.
The first thing that Moline's trus.-
full souls discovered was that not all
the Central Union telephones were
taken out Then they found that the
promises Of limitless toll line cor,v
nections through the new exchange
were all wind. Then they discovered
that the instruments of the new ex-
change were worse than the old ones,
and demanded a change. Then theJ
found that they couldn't. get service
with much of anybody outside Moline.
And at last they have come to l.,
conclusion that the Democrat was
right when it told them that they
would be simply saddling themselves
with the burden of two exchanges,
higher rates, and no better service
The Mail of Wednesday evening talks
down in the mouth after this fashion !
after months of agitation Of the
telephone situation in Moline mem
bers Of the Retail Merchants assoela :
tion at their meeting last evening
faced the situation as it is and not as
they hoped it would be.
"They found that all the efforts Ct
the past had firmly fastened upon the
bac-- of the municipality the burden
of double telephone system, and they
were unable to see how there is to be
a change. Under the present circunl-
stances the only thing they could see
to do is to have both systems.
"The directors of the association at
their meeting declared that they were
ready to order out the old telephones
at once and the question was put to
the membership Many declared their
willingness to do so If the new sys-
tenn would put in better transmitters
and meet it's promises Of good service
Others declared that as the situation
is at present they would not abandon
the old instruments because they
could not cover the field in the new.
The meeting was evenly divided be-
tween the old and the new, and ,
larger number declared themselves
compelled to have both.
This will probably end the telc-
phone fight as far as the merchants
are concerned unless the future de
velops something new"

FOR THAT UNIVERSITY

 WORK TO-DAY.
Methodist Laymen Will Raise Funa to Remove Greensboro Insti- tuition to Montgomery To

The committee of Methodist laymen which met at o'clock last night at the residence of W. M. Teague. Jr.. Is High street, decided to make a thorough can vass of Montgomery to raise fund to secure the removal of the Southern Uni versity from Greensboro to Montgom- cry.
 Several Methodist ministers of the city met with the committee.
 While the meeting was in progress a member of the committee informed a representative of The Advertiser that the meeting was of a private nature and the committee would not have any informa- tiot for the public.
 When the meeting was adjourned it was learned that the committee, of which c. G. Zirkle is chairman decided to begin to-day to solicit funds for the removal of the University to Montgom- cry. The city was divided into districts, and sub-committees were named to ac- lively prosecute the work.
 The committee will meet again at the residence of MT. Teague Tuesday evening when the subcommittee will report the result of their labors. It is expected that by that time the work will have been so far advanced as to give a definite idea of the success or failure of the move Ment.
