AUTOMATIC is BEST

Since advent of Automatic tele-
phone in our city the telephone
service has not only improved 100
per cent. but the rates for the tel
ephone service on individual lines
has been reduced from $50 to S36
per year, and the number of sub
scribers increased three fold. The
Automatic service is rapid. accu-
rate and secret, and Manual tele-
phones are not in the same class.

NO EXTRA EXPENSE

I very gladly add my endorse
ment to that of many other SUBJ
scribers of my acquaintance in
Dayton in favor of the Automatic
service as against the Bell COM
pany. can hardly refrain from
suggesting the advisability of
second telephone in every town.
The idea that it creates unwarran-
ted extro expense to the subscrib-
er is from my own experience fall
lacious. The service of the Auto
matte company is good and has
been since the start. The service
of the Bell company which for
years was none too good, has been
greatly improved and the result of
competition has been remarkable
growth in the number CT telephones
which it is possible to reach in
and about this city.

A WORD ABOUT BOSSES.

A prominent New York gentleman
recently presented the name of an
equally prominent gentleman as a
candidate for an important office and
in his nominating speech said, in
speaking of bosses:
q wish | could get up a good de
finition of he word boss. 1t is a re-
cent word; it is a disagreeable word
Bosses are not all alike. Each par
ticular boss has his peculiar charac-
teristics and methods. But all boss
es' are alike in one respect All in
sist on being the whole thing and in
looking upon the people as easy
marks. They are controlled by their
environment. One and all they are
devoted to good government and are
friends of the people. Some show
their friendship in making speeches
commIserating with the hard lot of
the downtrodden and oppressed and
Others buy them beer.
There is no earthly use for the pol
itical boss, and people who are sc
ignorant or SO partisan that it is nee
essary that they should be directed
how to vote are not fit to exercise the
right of suffrage. 1t is time for men
to think and act for themselves and
on the 4th day of next month at the
primary election each and every voter
should exercise their best judgment
regardless of boss influence and vote
for the men who they believe will
represent the people honestly and
faithfully.

Make the Selection,

The commissioner of the general LAND
office at Washington, D. c., on the
9th inst, granted the State of Wis
consin an extension of sixty days IN
which to make a selection of public
lands in counties north of township 81
for forestry purposes. 1t appears
that the state for some reason had
failed to make it's selection within
the ninety days fixed by the Presi-
dent S proclamation. 1t is a matter
that should be attended to at once
and every man in the state land office
should be put to work making the Sc
lection and earn at least d portion
of the salary paid them for looking
wise and keeping posted on current
political events in the state.

GOOD PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER.

In casting around for presidential
candidate, the republicans could not
make a better choice than Hon. +. A.
Hitchcock, the present secretary Of
the interior As cabinet officer he
has prosecuted the land thieves with
out fear or favor, without any grand
stand plays or brass band accompan-
iments. In a silent, quiet way he
has done more to save the government
from the dishonest rapacity of men
high in position and has surprised
them by his persistent efforts to con-
Wet them of fraud, that they might
be punished.
He has struck at the men best
equipped to defend themselves, the
men whose money and place made
them powerful in the community.
When he began his investigation
the secretary was smiled at indulgent-
ly. Il was predicted that he would
accomplish nothing, except perhaps to
Jail few employees and clerks. Mr..
Hitchcock did into talk about his plans
He went ahead in the most common
place manner, promising nothing.
The greater part of the United States
knew very little of what he was about.
Many of the men under suspicious
were equally ignorant of what was
going forward When the time came
for criminal prosecutions the complet-
ness and strength of the evidence that
had been gathered surprised the accus-
ed as much as 1T did the public
Secretary Hltchcock's method of
enforcing the laws lacks noise and
sensation, but it produces results.
1t puts law breakers in jail. II
teaches men who have considered the
statutes a joke that they are mistaken.

REVISE THE tariff.

The attention of the 'stand-pat-
ters'' or believers in a prohibitive
tariff is called to the following state
ments
/. There is not an article on the
tariff list today that was placed there
at the instance of the consumer.
II. There is not protected arti-
Gle that does not cost more today than
it did ten years ago.
III. There was never time in
the history of this country, when it
took so large a PERCENTAGE of a labor
ing mans earnings to support his
family as at the present time.
1t cannot be successfully denied,
that the present tariff is responsible
in measure for the many trusts in
existence in this country by which
billions of dollars have been taken
from the people to make men enor-
mouslv rich. The protective system
is correct, but when schedule rate is
placed SO high as to exclude foreingn
importations, that the home manu-
facturer of such articles can realize
Immense profits and no revenue is pro-
duced it comes mighty near robbery of
the people and government.

REVISION AND RECIPROCITY.

The following articles taken from
the press are published to show that
the revision of the tariff ard reciErCc-
/ ity relations win ether nations Is
growing rapidly and hat the dorI.i-
nant party must listen to the demands
of the people or lose its hold on the
voters Of the country:
I According to the Des Moires Gowa)
1 Leader of August the tariff reform
will not be delayed because the Re-
publicans of Iowa have not made a
definite demand for it in the coming
session of Congress. They have
simply accepted the situation as 1T is
and stand pat On the proposition that
the coming Congress should be Repub-
/ lican whether the tariff is to be chang
ed now or is to wait until two years
from now.
The Erie (Penna). Herald of Aug
ust 2 exclaims "TarIf reform is in
the air 1t says the effects Of the
Dingley schedules are being felt in
many industries by consumers gener-
ally.
The Iowa farmers and manufacturers
are not alone in their stand for revi-
son of the Dingley schedules, and
President Roosevelt, it declares, is
likely to have a chance to "guess
again. at the drift of popular sent-
ment before the next presidential cam
paign.
The Record Herald of August 8 has
this to say: "The denomination of
Gov. Cummins is victory for the
progressive wing of the Iowa Re-
publican organization and a real VIC
tory for the cause of progress in state
and national politics. -
The st. Louis Globe Democrat in
its issue of August quotes the plat
form of the Iowa Republicans which,
in part, is: 'Duties on foreign i'm
ports should not be levied for revenue
but only should be so adjusted as to
promote our domestic industries, en-
large our foreign markets, secure re-
munerative prices for the products of
our manufacturers and farmers, and
maintain the superior scheme of wages
and standard of living of the Ameri-
can laborer. - The Democrat claims
every good Republican can subscribe
to this.
Although this has been said many
times before and is commonplace,
still it has weight in the deliberations
of all Republican bodies.
The Huntington, Ind, Herald Of
July Ia maintains that conditions are
constantly altering in our national
life and what in one decade may be
a reasonable and just duty On a GER
tain commodity may ten years hence
be burdenSome. The editor holds to
the Republican belief that the tariff
should be revised by its friends and
that if that is not done, some day it
will be revised by its enemies, and a
serious blow be struck at our com
mercial prosperity. 1t got is opinion
from Congressman Lands, who has
that belief.
