\ LITTLE SONG.

A little song TO end II all, little song
OF cheer.
For, on. the world is pleasant and
oh. the world Is dear,
or II a sob Of sorrow comes moaning
down the sky
Twill change to hapy laughter in the
golden by and by;
And 1 have friends to comfort me
when hours are going wrong.
And / have love to bless me and to
sing its CHEEKY song,
And still | have my blessings, though
from duty's path I've swerved,
For the old world treats me better
than l ever have deserved.
A little song of thankfulness that aye
my moments run
Halfway through shades of resting and
halfway in the sun;
That still my life grows sweeter as the
sun descends the sky,
And the heaven of earth completer as
the moments onward fly.
For friendly deeds that tighten the
vale I journey through;
That still my skies do brighten
though the evening drlps with
dew,
And most of all, for gentle love, that
e'er my soul hath nerved,
! know I'm treated better than ever
have deserved.

TWO PHONE SYSTEMS.

Tonight the city council will per-
hAps act upon the application for
franchise for the Automatic Telephone
company.
Since this franchise has been asked
for all the various features of dual
telephone system have been thorough
H discussed among business men and
there are certainly two sides to the
question.
While the features Of the automatic
zystem are excellent and the inven-
tion is a forward step in home con-
Teniences yet the sliding scale of
prices proposed by the company is ex-
Orbitant and will perhaps justify the
council in refusing the franchise.
Under the proposed franchise the
maximum charges for phones in the
Automatic system would be s4.25 per
month for business and s2.25 for resi-
desces up to the time they have 1000
phones In use and so cents per month
per phone for each additional 1000
phones installed.
The present rates are SO and $3.50
for business and $1.25 for residences
and there Is no provision for raising
the rates as the number of phones
Increases.
While the Automatic company may
never freeze out" the present com
p2ny, yet should such a thing happen
the city would be forced to pay much
more for phone service with the au-
tomato company alone in the field
than with the present company alone
in the field.
1t Is true that many people would
like to see the automatic phone sys-
TEN installed for the convenience 1t
affords, but a dual system Of phones
multplles the expenses Of the home
and the business house and for this
reason, as well as for the reason that
the maximum rates proposed by the
new company are excessively high,
business men and those who use
phones in general are opposed to the
installation Of the second system as
long as good service can be secured
from the one system in operation.

Let the street work go on. Macad-
amizing is all right for the residence
streets. The work is just about COM
pleted on Franklin street is good. 1t
adds to the value of the property. A
large force Of men should be en-
ployed during the entire winter sea-
son putting the streets in good con-
dition. The city will never be better
prepared TO bear the expense than
now and the streets certainly need the
repairs. Renters will soon begin to
demand better streets in the residence
districts. They will pay more rent
for property on good streets than poor
streets and then property owners will
begin to see where street improvement
is valuable.

Because a man Is worth $4,000 is
no assurance that he is fitted for Of

Of a statement made by saloon

saloon man had been arrested two or
three times for violating city ordi-
nances and was finally fined heavily
for the offense. He violated the same
ordinance again and the city marshal
went to arrest him again as usual

TALKING BY MAIL.

Now comes the phonopostal. which
records and reproduces the voice on
postal card shaped piece of paste
board \ common phonograph makes
the record with a sapphire-polnted
stylus. This graves deeply an easily
spread, impressionable material,
called "sonorine," on the surface OF
the card. The sounds are written
spirally, beginning at the edge and
continuing in narrowing curve which
ends in a little circle no bigger than
a l0-cent piece. "Sonorine" is healthy
enough to survive rough usage in the
mails. a "phonocard'-how quickly
language grows in these days!-will
hold, say, so words. II is expected to
take the place of the illustrated postal
card. which is becoming too ancient

1t is a great pity that the Norwe-

They are essentially a democratic peo-
pie like the Swiss. Under the old dual

TILE SOURCE OF ALL STRENGTH.

The land is the source Of all
strength, says the San Francisco Star
Compare Great Britain with Japan; in
the former so per cent OF the food
Ituffs necessary for the support of the
people have to be imported; in the
latter. where agriculture is still the
ieading source of wealth, the people
can be provided for without help from
the United States, Australia or South
America.
To this independence OF foreign
Eranaries is largely due the confidence
ot the japanese, and the fact that
despite an enormous debt the country
Is still progressing along its mapped
out path.
Commerce may be destroyed, and a
distinctively commercial people-from
capitalist to workman-wlll conse-
quently suffer; but the land remains
forever beneath mems feet and their
sustenanco is always to be obtained
therefrom.
Our own security is due not so much
10 the fact that We have skyscrapers
from San Francisco to New York, or
to the factories that give employment
to the many and enrich the few. II
Is due to the fact that we can feed
ourselves, and, moreover, that IL we
choose we can starve our foes. The

Sheriff Shut of Morrow county is
doing his duty fearlessly. He is not
seeking to evade the law nor shlrk
any part OF his responsibility. Gam
blers are no better than any other
law-breakers in his estimation and
where the law provides that he shall
arrest them and bring them into
court for violations Of the law. he
does it cheerfully and energetically.
Morrow county is to be congratulated
upon his nerve and activity. Gambling
is a dirty, debasing, unprincipled habit
and prostitutes everybody connected
with IT and the only way to suppress it
is to suppress it, and not daily with It
as so many officials do. 1t is not
necessary in the community. 1t is not
a part OF the resources OF any lnglu-
mate business because 1t does not pro-
duce a cent but hangs like a parasite
on the business world.

railroad WHARF
IS WATERPROOF

When the gangs Of workmen were
not employed some where else within
the past few weeks Henry Dennison,
wharfnger for the Oahu railroad, has
had them working on the Railroad
wharf No. calking the 1400 feet of
platform from one end to the other.
The work will be completed this after.
noon. In addition oil has been poured
on the boards and rope in between the
cracks which will make the dock abso-
lutely proof against water soaking
through. This will prevent the decay
of the timber underneath which, when
they become water soaked from rains,
remain so for weeks, as the sun or
wind does not strike them. When light
showers fall the water will remain on
the wharf and gradually evaporate.
The calking will make the railroad
wharf, especially the upper part, last
life time. The same dock is rat proof
as we'll.
