Who Responsible.

The negroes of New York
held a rousing meeting Feb. 10.
Bitter resolutions were adopted.
Many crimes were charged to
the Southern whites. They al
legged that negroes were dis
franchised and thousands of
them murdered. Now what
will be the end? Will it be
blood? If so did Roosevelts
course in Washington, South
Carolina and Mississippi, cause
it? Have the negroes forgotten
that it is not so loHg ago, since
it took two hundred (200) po-
licemen to defend their race in
New York City because of the
vile act of two of their num-
Der.
Politicians have been guilty
OF many crimes committed in
the name of morals, but if Mr..
Roosevelt puts the negroes
against the Southern whites. a
hell will have been turned
loose, such as civilization has
never witnessed, the fires of
which will not be easily
quenched.

600 per aUnum was enough tC
run the White House under
Cleveland and Mckinley and
hat a salary of $4,000 per
year was satisfactory to them.
But all of that was changed
when Teddy The Accident came
on deck. Last year it took
100000 to run the White House
and the Republican senate
backed by Il Republican House,
is now figuring on increasing
the salary to a cool $500, 1000.

Unless dog teams, carrying
food and fuel to the two trains
that are stalled in 80 feet of
snow in the interior uof the,
island, can pull through, great
fear is felt for the 100 or more
passengers abroad.
They started at daylight, but
their goals many miles away.
Newfoundland never knew
such a storm as is raging now.
No mails have arrived or de
parted for a week. The snow
has piled up in the interior 80
feet high. No one can recollect
such a continuous blizzard as
has swept the island for seven
days.
With it has come fierce wind

Object of Telephone Union.

Briefly the object of the pro
posed Union, as stated by w.
Smith Jones, is for the farmers
who already own practically
all the country lines, to oper.
ate the exchanges in towns
where their lines center, pro-
videl the exchanges already es,
tablished refused them favora
BILE terms, and thus secure their
service at cost. Letters from
Lewis and Nodaway counties,
in which the farmers have such
orga nizations, were read. In
Noda way county, the letter
stated, each subscriber lad
free Exchange with 1000 others
at cost of only 25c a month.
In Lewis county, members of
the organization paid only 81. so
a year for service and had a
free exchange with lines in six
counties.
Mr.. Jones estimated that at
least 100 farmers had phones on
lines entering in Paris, paying
Acc to SOC a month for central
privileges. With Union per-
tected, he believed the local
managers would give exchange
for 25c a month. In case they
refused, he said, the farmers
could establish their own eX.
change in town. 1t could be
operated day and night, he
said, for $50 a month, and the
the tees from toll messages
would pay at least half this
amount, thus reducing the cost
to the individual member to an
insignificant sum. The reduced
price, he thought, would induce
scores more farmers to use
phones.
Each point at which country
lines center is to organize into
a Division with it's own officers
and ma nagers. These Divisions
are to be be connected so that
free exchange may be had from
to Divis ion.
Promoters of the enterprise
say they are not seeking to an
tagonize or injure exchanges
and systems already establish
ed, but believe that satisfac.
tory arrangements to mutual
can be made for the
use of each others lines, as is
done in localities in which the
Unions are now in operation
