THE ANARCHY AT SPRINGFIELD

the white people of Springfield do not in

ness men pay for the phones, was

turned to.
F What did the merger have ! to do
with 1t? the reader asks. Well, there
is something very significant in the
fact that telephones were not dis
turbed at towns like Glenwood and
Alexandria, where, the 500 enters as
q competitor. The Journal does
not know the exact scope Of the order,
but it is not likely that it applied to
Fargo, where the Milwaukee enters.
The order applied to those towns
where the merger railroads had no
competition. It was small point at
issue, and the companies yielded to
the clamor Of the business men; but
II the matter had. been, more impor-
tant In dollars and, cents, the mer-
chants might have protested in vain.
With two railroads to patronize, and
entitled to the advantage OF competi
.tion. the business men Of these towns
are powerless to force the companies
to- be accommo dating. They may pro-
test, and the companies can reply with
perfect indifference:
