VOICES OF THE PRESS.
The Telephone Issue.
Gardner independently

(HHrQlnST 11dCpSiioSie'(
Some Of the papers which are OPP
posing Mr.. Cobb for Governor are
having a good deal to say about the
Eastern Telephone Co., with which Mr..
Cobb was connected, because 1t made
a toll rate with the New England Com
PAW in Franklin and Oxford counties,
which enabled it's subscribers to reach
the outside world. Now it appears
that Mr.. Fernald~ secured telephone
charter at the same session of the
LEGISLATURE and promptly entered into
precisely the same arrangement with
the New England Company. This was
undoubtedly the wise thlng TO DO, but
the question naturally arises why a
procedure which is held to be praise
worthy on the part OF Mr.. fernald
should be held to be reprehensible on
the part of Mr.. Cobb. All, but say his
critics. he sold out his line in Knox
county. That is very far from an ac-
curate statement of the facts. In Knox
county neither telephone company was
making anything. Subscribers in order
to reach the whole outside county and
outside world were put to the expense
of maintaining two telephones at SIS
each, a total of $50 per year. They
naturally objected to this notion. The
interests of both companies We're
therefore merged into new company
in charge of the manager of the East
ern Telephone Company and patrons
We're given the consolidated service at
$25 per year, Il saving of $11 per year
on what it had previously cost them.
1t is obvious that Knox county peo-
pie are satisfied with this arrangement
for everything indicates that they will
send a solid delegation to Bangor for
Mr.. Cobb. If they are satisfied why
should outsiders complain? AS a mat
ter of fact all these changes were for
the immediate benefit of the properties
and their patrons. Mr.. Cobb did the
right thing and so did Mr.. Fernald. Mr..
Cobb did not ask the Legislature for q
new charter for his company was all
ready operating in the three counties
mentioned under an old one. The leg
islation granted Mr.. Cobb was there
fore the extension of an old charter
rather than a new charter. 1t was in
tended to put beyond question the right
of the Eastern Telephone Co. to oper-
ate it's properties in Oxford and Frank
lin counties. Mr.. Fernalds charter was
a brand new one. These are the facts
about the telephone matter, and at
tempts to make political capital out of
it against either Mr.. Cobb or Mr.. Fer
maid are falling exceedingly fiat. The
course pursued by both gentlemen was
well within their legal rights, and for
the best interests of the public they
served.

Gods Heart.

Come down with me to the moon-led sea-
Where the long wave Gibbs and nlis,-
Are these the tides that follow

Nay. rather this is the heart of God,
Naked under the sky,
And We hear its pulse with wonder
The shore, and the clouds, and L!
Unearthly, awful. uncompelled,
Eternity framed in clay,
The urge of eXhaustlesS passions,
Rocking beneath the gray!
Its life is the blood of the universe
Through cOsmic arteries hurled,
With the thrOb of its giant pulses
God feeds the veins of the world!
And the lands are wrinkfed and gray with

And scored with n thousand scars.
But the sea is the soul OF the INFINITE,
Swinging beneath the stars!

The Reno Journal published the fol-
loving article, and in a spirit of kind
ness we offer an apology for it:
QUARANTINE AT WINNEMUCCA
A carload of passengers was quaran-
tined at Winnemucca on No. last
Sunday. One OF the passengers was
suffering from measles. The railroad
officials learned of the fact and tele
glaphed DIR. Samuels to take charge
OF any persons on the train suffering
from a contagious disease.
The physician, in company with the
editor of the Silver State, Flank Jen-
kins, was present when the train
pulled in. The two examined the train
and found as stated, one passenger af
hicted. however, as the others had
been exposed to the disease, the doc
tor ordered the car detached from the
train.
This done the SICK passenger was
conveyed 10 a sanisarium, those re-
naming being subjected to a thorough
fumigation. Their car was put on the
next west-bound tain and the much
wrought up travellers allowed to con-
tinue on their journey.
The passenge-s S entered a vigorous
protest against the proceedings, but
when the conditions were explained to
them they resigned themselves to the
situation and consented to wait for
the next train. Taey passed through
Reno Monday and expressed them
clt1xr rNln NIT he
treatment accoi ded them by the Win
nemucca people, DR.. Samuels in par
ticular
There is not a particle of truth in
the statement. The facts are as pub
lished in the Silver State the same
evening. DR.. Samuels received an or
der to search the train. and if in his
judgment IL was necessary, to hold
over any passenger showing symptoms
OF a conta~ ~ious disease. The doctor
was at the [. ain. and after a thorough
investigation concluded to send the
train on to a station where better ia
cilities were afforded to care for pa
tients. One man was found with the
measles, but inasmuch as the entire
day car had been exposed to contagion.
DR.. Samuels concluded TO send them
on, and was applauded for his action
by numerous physicians standing
about. The train was not held here
one minute, nor was there a passenger
removed to a sanita.ium. There were
no vigorous pi tests and there could
have been no expressions of pleasure
at Reno because of the doctors action.
That DR.. Samuels did his duty no one
will deny. but he did it as a man
possessed of common sense; he held no
trains, did no advertising and was not
working in the interest of yellow jour-
nalism.

had owned for twenty years became
emaciated from age, yet he hestated
to kill the animal. Finally. when the
horse was unable to eat ard only a
tottering skeleton the kind-hearted
farmer hit upon plan for its destruc-
ton which would spare his feelings
be quick. sure and painless.
Eckert bought two sticks of dyna-
mite and a bit of fuse. He tied the
dynamite together. inserted the cap
and fuse In one stick. ted the DEATH
dealing bundle around the horses
neck and lighted the fuse. Then he
started for the orchard, about sixty
yards away. The farmer hadn't gone
far when he heard something behind
him. and. turning. beheld the poor old
horse. mad with fright at the sizzling
fuse. trotting close TO his heels as en-
ergetically as colt.
Eckert settled down and did some
wonderful running. The barbed-wire
fence which separated the orchard

schoolboy. The horse. being unframed
in hurdle racing, struck the fence, and
then something happened. When Eek
