INDUSTRIAL PEACE.
Cause to Which Roosevelt VIII Devote
the Nobel Prize.

Christiania, Norway, Dec. 10.-The
American minister, Mr.. Pierce. in an
eloquent speech. thanked parliament
in the presidents name for comforting
upon Mr.. Roosevelt the Nobel peace
prize. He said that words were In
adequate to express the deep emotion
which he experienced at receiving this
distinguished testimonial in behalf of
the president, who recently cabled that
he regarded this prize as one of the
greatest honors which any man In any
position throughout the world could
receive. The award. Mr.. Pierce added,
would deeply appeal to the hearts of
the American people.
Mr.. Pierce then read a message from
President Roosevelt, expressing his deep
thanks and saying there was no gift he
also announced that he had concluded
to use the prize to establish at Wash
ington permanent Industrial peace
committee with the view of maintaining
righteous peace in the industrial world,
which was as important as the main
tenance of peace in the world of nations
The following is the text of President
RoOsevelts dispatch:
touched by the signal honor shown me
through your body in comforting on
me the Nobel peace prize. There is no
gift could appreciate more and I
wish IL were IN my power TO Iully eX-

1t and I thank you in behalf of the
United States for what I was able to
accomplish Only as the representa- i've
of the nation of which for the time be-
ing 1 am president. After much
thought have concluded that the best
and most fitting way to apply the
amount of the prize is by using it as
fund To establish at Washington a per-
raenent Industrial peace committee.
THE object viii be to strive for better
countrymen who are engaged, whether
as capitalists or wage workers, in indus
trial and agricultural pursuits. This will
carry out the purpose of the founder of
the prize. for n modern life it IS i'm
portant to work for the cause of Just
and righteous peace in the industrial

CHANGE THE TIME CARD
Oakland Cars viii Hcnceforth Run
only to Sixth Avenue.

A new time card went into effect on
the street railway Sunday. The most
important change registered Is the
change in the schedule of the Oakland
cars which will stop at Sixth avenue
in coming into the city and switching
back instead of going as far as the
transfer depot at Eighth and Kansas
avenues.
The other changes in the time card
are technical and the change in tbs

about only by the inability to maintaiE

BILE, this Indianapolis Independent
Telephone Company is confessing
Just what the writer OF this article
has said of independent telephone
companies in general-they are,
with few exceptions, nothing more
nor less than bunco games in
which the promoters and construc-
tion men get away with the "rake-
off," leaving the local investors
with an improbable business on
their hands. The present finan-
cial condition Of the indianapolis
Telephone Company, without
dollar of reserve to put it's plant
into fit condition; but with a float
ing debt of nearly 5000, 100000 on
top OF it's bonded debt, all of
which is now admitted by the
company, shows conclusively that
for seven years the business has
not been earning the "wear and
tear" on its physical property, in
addition to its other fixed charges,
although something like $500, 900.
90 has been paid out in interest
and dividends, ostensibly profits.
After pointing out that the In.
dianapOlis Telephone Company
cannot be profitably operated even
with the increased rates it asks
the city to allow it to charge, the
Bulletin continues:
If it is the purpose to make a
showing of false profits by ignor-
ing depreciation, as has been
the practice in the past, then the
local stock and bond holders,
through the force OF increased
rates, may be fortunate enough to
unload upon other investors as in
nocent of the peculiarities OF the
telephone business as they were
before they got the experience.
Another feature of this Indian
apOlis telephone situation is that
one class Of telephone users-that
which requires the service Of both
companies-is paying in the ag
gregate about SIP, 100000 per year
for the annoyance and confusion OF
two systems. This is the inevita-
BILE tax imposed by telephone COM
petition upon one class of users for
the benefit of another class-the
class that gets along with only the
cheaper service of the second COM
pany. If the Indianapolis Tele-
phone company enforces an in
crease in rates, there will be no
such thing as cheaper service
and no longer any excuse for
those desiring cheaper service
to impose the double telephone
upon those who have had to en-.
dure it for the past seven years.

VANITY.

At five ma iden's wants are few;
A set of blocks, a doll or two;
A little place inside to play,
If it should come rainy dyY;
A pair of shoes, pinafore
[ really think of nothing more.
Nor wants she overmuch at ten;
A birthday party row and then,
A bit of ribbon for her hair,
A little better dress to wear,
Perhaps pony cart to drive
A hit more than she did at five
A modest increase at fifteen;
A party dress, in red or green,
A room alone that she may fix
With bric-a-brac and candlesticks.
A parasol fan-and oh.
| quite forgot to AIDA beau.
At twenty-five she is quite above
All childish wants-She asks but love,
And dreams of Princes. tall and fair,
Who come a-wooing and who dare
ALI dangers; and she keeps apart
For him the castle of her heart.
At twenty-five her fancy goes
To bonnets, frills, and furbelows,
A country place, house in town,
A bitter rig than Mrs. Brown,
Or Black or Jones, and just wee
Small figure in Society.
At thirty-weil, a little tea,
For the distinguish Mrs. b.
Who writes-a Prince to entertain,
A long hearted Lion to make vain
With silly tricks, horse show box
And Just little plunge in stocks.
At thirty-fve and forty-well
There isn't much that's new to tell;
A little bigger country place.
A real good lotion for the face,
And some reduction made in those
One can afford to say she knows.
At fifty-does her fancy end:
She wants-ah, yes, she wants friend
To prove her years were not in vain;
She wants those dreams OF youth again,
When Princes-errant, tall and fair,
LIVED, loved, and came a-wooing there.
At seventy she wants to know
Why Vanity and hollow show
Tempt Wisdom from its lofty seat,
She wants but ease for gOuty feet.
And peace to wonder what must be.
