TELEPHONE COMPANIES MEET
Independent. Lines Adopt Resolutions
on Omaha Situation

At a largely attended meeting OF
representatives of Independent tele-
phone companies held in Beatrice Sat
urday an organization of the Fifth

The district comprises the counties
Of Thayer, Jefferson, Pawnee, Rich

The following officers were elected
for the coming year: President, g..
w. Bartlett, jr, Fairbury; vice presi-
dent, A. r. Morris, Blue Springs; sec
retary-treasurer, C. w. Pool, Tecum-

in operation 1925 Independent tele-

resolutions were adopted at the meet

more than 1900 telephones, and rep

on between the Independent telephone

today one million telephones in use
in the United States, whereas there
are now, all told, over 100000 as the
result of competition, although thai
competition has been restricted by

there is always a motive foreign

Over in Minnesota and North
Dakota the weather is marrow
freezing cold. In many sections of
the I NO states the coal supply is en-
tirely exhausted, and the people are
burning out-houses and furniture
10 keep from freezing to death.
They have petitioned their govern
ors to order out the militia and
force the railroads to haul coal.
those states have requested the
president to employ the regular
army for the same purpose. The
railroads are offering contradictory
excuses for not hauling coal; excuses
that prove each other to be false.
The transparent truth about the
matter is that the roads have en-
tered into a general and wide
spread conspiracy in this matter,
the immediate, specific purpose of
which is difficult to fathom.
If it is merely intended as an OBJ
Ject lesson to show the public how
strong and impregnable is the po-
sition of the railroads: how futile
as the attempt of the federal govern
Tnent to regulate them, then the
play is as foolish as il is cruel !;
for it is having the effect of in
flaming and intensifying public in
dignation, that will eventually
drive the unthinking masses to

edy a lesser evil than railroad

In the case of the Union Pa

of nothing more than Unsuitable
greed for dollars. That comp any is
now unloading on the Intermoun-
tain region what it calls mine
run coal, = product of about 40 per
cent dust and 90 per cent country
rock. The rock will not burn, clogs
the CRATE, fuses and puts out the
fire. Constant attention is neces-
sary to keep a stove heated. This
utterly worthless fuel is sold here
at eight dollars a ton, the same
price as is quoted on coal-which
one can never buy, unless it is
stolen. If the road can haul this
stuff, why can't 1t maui coal2 The
various fake explanations offered by
the company are insults to average

The suit TO test the right of Nor
mons to vote and hold office in Ida
no has been filed. Judge Bulge,
OF Banncok county has been made
defendant in the case. AS near as
the lay mind can get at the legal
status of the question, it is about
like this: A clause i'll the constitu-
ton shuts these aliens out. 1t pro-
vides among other qualifications
for citizenship that one must be
connected with no organization
that practices or teaches polygamy,
or uDholds the violation of any
law, state or national. The Nor
mons and their allies, the Jacks,
maintain that some legislative en-
actment, prescribing a penalty for
a violation of the provisions of this
clause, or something of the kind, is
necessary to make it operative.
Average intelligence doesn't attain
that sdegree of subtelty that can
comprehend such fine spun legal
reasoning. Good lawyers, unbiased
on the proposition, say the contcn-
ton is ridiculous. Even Senator
Hepburn, during the late campaign,
when he was having a heart to
heart talk with the Saints down in
the southeastern counties, told them
plainly that they must be good,
(that is, swallow the republican
ticket and program whole, looking
pleasant the while) that this con-
stitutional clause would be used as
a club with which to pound them
into submission; that no leg islative
enactment is necessary. How the
courts will decide the question is,
of course, a matter of conjecture, of
mental attitude of the judges who
will be called upon to render the
decision. 1t looks as if politics
might be forced into the proceed
ings by the republican machine; in
which casc-wcll, what's the con-
stitution between friends, anyway

Maverick stated in commenting on
the presidents annual message that
the whole tone of the instrument
indicated a tendency towards CEN
tralization; more power to the fed
fcral government and less to the
states. Since that time, Moody,
the executives mouthpiece and
public pulse fceler, in speech in
Philadelphia, plainly enunciated his
advocacy of that policy. 1t is fur
Their announced that some time this
week the president will send a
special message to congress dealing
with the Japanese problem on this
coast, advocating radical and cratic
measures along this line. Mr..
Roosevelt is surely looking for
trouble, and as surely will he find
it along this devious trail. Two
years ago, while at the height OF
his mob popularity, he could put
into execution almost any of his
freak fancies, but his popularity is
waning, rapidly; the politicians no
longer fear to oppose him, he has
been turned down. by congress
repeatedly and at the first opportu-
nifty is going to be given jolt that
will awaken him from his dream of
self adulation. 1t looks as if this
Japanese business is going to fur
nish that longed for opportunity.
No man not rendered immune from
the shafts of ridicuie, sarcasm and
condemnation by an impcnetrable
armor of self approval could remain
blind TO the situation, the peril OF
his own position, after reading SEN
ator Raynor's arrangement of him
for his interference in the San
Francisco schools. But, apparently,
IT had no effect on the strenuous
one.

fires were divided into three classes

During the past season forest
rangers issued 161 free use permits
to settlers in the Sawtooth and Pay

be controverted and experience is
not necessary to demonstrate it's
truthfulness. Common sense and

A DOPE FIEND
Drugs a Charlotte Woman and Steals
Her Money-Arrested in Greensboro.

A Charlotte policeman came here
today and too to that city a white
man giving his name as J. w. Card
well. This man is accused of having
doped O woman in Charlotte and stol-
en- $40 from her. He was arrested
here yesterday and made no denial OF
having taken the money. but says he
was morphine and whiskey drunk at
the time, and upon coming to his
senses in Greensboro he found that
he had spent $50 of the money for
clothing, etc, and at once t~elegraphed
the remaining $40 back to the woman.
1t was a fact that he had sent the $40
as he stated. as the telegraph Office
showed. Another corrOborative cir
cumstance is that the Greensboro po-
licemen On description of party wanted
in Charlotte, was looking for a hobo
appearing fellow. After a two days
search they arrested a well dressed
young fellow in a restaurant yester-
day who proved to be the man wanted.
He had on new higgins from his mob
by cap to his socks and underwear.
The fellow freely admitted that he
was a cigarette n opium fend and
looked to be not over eighteen years
of~age. The Charlotte police who took
him to Charlotte says he also stole a
quantity of drugs from a drug firm
there. He is plainly a typical degen-
erate.-Greensboro Special to Char
