BOUQUET FOR
GRAND RAPIDS
From a Sermen by the Rev.
Herbert S. Bigelow of Cincin.


natl.
MIR. Lincoln SteffenS tells US that
Rhode Island is the worst state in the
union. / can tell you the best city in
the union. 1t is Grand Rapids, Wis.
There may be saloon or two there.
There may be some gambling and
Sunday ball playing and other forms
of WickedneSS which are so heinous
to the pharisees. But the city has a
right to hold up their head. She has
a cooperative telephone company.
When plans for this enterprise were
being discussed the Bell Telephone
company tried to decoy the city into
its tolls. A bride was offered, not to
tho council, but to the city itself.
The attempt to corrupt the people
was made as in Rhode Island, but
with a different result. The Bell
company offered every citizen Of
Grand Rapids free telephone for
three years if they would sign the
Bell contract and drop the agitation
for company of their own. There
was but one man in the city who
accepted the briDe. But for that one
man the city was unanimous in re-
Nenting the bride and declining the
sift. Cincinnati and other cities have
their fifty and ninetynine year
franchises and franchises that are
perpetual. The little city of Grand
Rapids, Wis. is made of different
stuff. She has too much self-respect
to submit to the corporation yoke
