THE BELL TELEPHONE
Long Distance on the Hooking
Valley Lines.

The Hooking Valley has closed
n contract with the Central Union
Telephone company, The Bell, for
the installation of a private branch
exchange system to connect all the
local offices Of the Hooking Valley,
Ohio Central and GAINESVILLE and
Western and to furnish long dis
tance service to various points ON
the three roads. The latter is to
be accomplished by a composite
service over the telegraph wires of
the railroads. The local offices of
all the departments will be con-
nected and the private interior tel
ephone service now in use is to be
supplanted by the new one.
Among the places which are to
be fitted for the long distance COM
posite service are: East Toledo,
the Toledo docks, Walbridge, Fos-
toria, Upper Sandusky, Marion,
Delaware. Lancaster, Logan and
Jacksonville. About 45 phones will

Two New States in Prospect

The next important business on
the Senate's calendar after the
Philippine improvement measure
was the bill providing for the ad-
mission of two new States into the
Union. Few people, either in con-
Congress or outside of it, seem to
understand how much more import
ant the admission of a new State
to the Union is than almost any
other possible business that can
come before Congress. Tariffs can
be made and unmade, and most
other matters of legislation are
subject to amendment or repeal
from time to time. But hasty or
ill-advised action in admitting q
State tn the Union is irrevocable.
At this very moment the whole
moral sense of the community Is
aroused by questions arising out of
the mistake that was made in ad-
mitting Utah at a time when it
would have been far better to keep
Utah in the territorial condition.
In the presidential election, In No
vember, Nevada cast total of
1l.S26 votes. The admission of
Nevada to The Union was fearful
mistake for which the Constitution
offers no remedy. The present bill
provides for the restoration of the
permanent lines of the Indian Ter
ritory that had been temporarily
broken up by the granting of u
territorial form of government to
a portion of the Territy under the
name of Oklahoma. TO the area
thus restored the name Of Oklaho-
ma is to be giver. There are peo-
pie enough and other conditions
Justify the admission of Oklahoma
as arranged for in the Senate bill,
which affords due protection to
the rights of the Indian tribes The
bill also unites the Territories of
Arizona and New Mexico, and ad-
mits them as one State under the
name of Arizona. These territo-
ries, it is true. are not ripe for adj
to the Union. whether sep
arateIy or jointly; but there are
some seasons why the matter may
as we'll be settled once for all. The
chief advantage in admitting Ari.
zuna ard New Mexico now as sim
gle State would be that this would
end the mischievOus political agi-
tation for their separate admission
IA scheme fostered chiefly by sell
fish private interests. There is now
good reasons to believe that the
bill, as duly reported
from the Senate Committee on Ter
ritories, will become a law during
the present session.-Frnm "The
