ABOUT TELEPHONES.
Morgantown has Crouch
About Rates at Uniontowp.
Phones are Furnished More Cheaply
In That Place Than Here and Better
Service is Given Merchants Want
to Take it all Back,

Our attention has been called to the
fact that recent issues of Uniontown
papers have contained advertisements
of the Bell Telephone Co., Offering
residence phones at rates very much
less than those enjoyed by the pat
rons Of the same company in this city.
The deduction arrived at from these
advertisements is, If the Bell comra.
ny can furnish "Long Distance tele-
phones and copper metallic circuits
at Uniontown at $l2 per year, why
cannot the same rate be given the
Morgantown people, as both towns
are working under the same company,
OF course we could not expect service
with surrounding towns, but with
residence phone users, this would not
be noticeable Inconvenience. Beside.
we would have a superior instrument
to those now in use by majority Of
| the subscribers of this company IT
has been said that If the management
had been in the hands of the present
manager, Mr.. Decker, the misunder-
standing OF two years ago would have
been avoided. The mistake of that
movement has been felt by the bust
ness men of this city in many ways. b
1t Is now up to the present manager
OF the Bell Company to procure for
MorganGown the same rates as are be-
ing employed by Uniontown phone
patrons. Residence phones are i'm
portant adjuncts to the MERCHANTS,
and the lower the rate, the more phones
will be used.
1t is said that plan is on foot
whereby the merchants will go back
to the Bell which they discarded two
years ago. They had an argument
with the local management in which
they were allowed to quit the compa-
ny and boycott 1t. This has hurt
both sides to the controversy and the
merchants want to get back if they
can do so on a reasonable basis.
Nothing could be ELECTED from Mr.
Decker about the matter. He said
that be had nothing to give cut fer
publication but might have something
to say before very long
Morgantown is waiting to hear that
the Bell has decided to give us the
same sort Of deal that it is giving
Jniontown as far as residence phones
are concerned. The new style phones
would do away with the noise which
is made by the street cars and would
make the service a perfect one.

Marcus A. Hanna,

The death of Senator Hanna was
not unexpected but 1t has brought
sincere moui ning from his party as
sGciates and friends as well as from
those who have been opposed to
him.
When he was elevated to the DO
sition Of Senator be was compare.
lively unkno"n and no personality
ever developed so quickly into state
manship of the first quality.
To his ability as an organizer and
barmonizer the Republican party
largely owns the ascendency which
it has enJored in the last two cam.
paigns.
In business he was a powcr and
his business associates will feel his
loss keenly. The country can i'll
afford to lose such men as Hanna.

Common Sense Needed.

One thing should never be lost
sight of IN any Of the Disagreement
which arise between rorkmen and
employers in this town snd that il
the werk must be kept going. 1t is
worse than foolish to allow business
to suspend, especially when circum.
stances are such as they are now.
The workmen have only their
labor TO sell. When day passes
without their selling it, it is forever
lost. The employer may invest his
money in some other direction and
make it work for him but the CAPT
tai of the workman must be utilized
as it comes or it will never more be
available.
Conditions are not the best in
town and they are generally uusatis
factory over the country. This be-
hooves us to keep every edge cutting
and TO work together for the mutual
good. We can't get ahead if we
begin to fuss among ourselves over
a division of what little is to be had
in the way of business spoils.
Many mistakes have been made
In The recent past which have pre-
vented the expenditure of money for
buildings or for wages. Every one
knows where the fault Tor this stop
page is to be found. The town has
suffered from it and it is time that
good sense and quiet good Judgment
shall put an end to the conditions
which has caused these losses.
We must all pull together and
with mutual concessions we shall be
able to keep every thing going. In
the meantime we should not let any
thing stop even for an instant.
