about Crystal Falls for three reasons
First there Is no land 10 bc got within
the best proved mineral belts nearly
all Of the lands being under lease BY
companies that are saving them until
they have more men and time 10 eN
plore Second the labor scarcity which
almost prohibits exploring. and third

As one manager Of large interest

War Between Independents and Bell
Company About New York.
This dramatic forecast was made
before the Supreme Court, at Wash
ington, during the great lawsuit, nine
teen years ago. over the Bell patents.
eff this court finds in favor Of the
American Bell Telephone Company, it
will enable these plaintiffs to perpet-
uate the fruits Of this fraud for many
years, and to fasten on the necks Of the
American people a gouging monopoly,
from which there will be no escape,
even after this patent has expired for,
by that time, this corporation will have
so wound it's tentacles about the com
munity that only an uprising of the
people, such as is not conceivable, will
be powerful enogh to shake it off,
The court did find in favor of the
Bell Telephone Company, and the effect
Of this finding was truly according to
the prophecy. 1t fastened "a gouging
monopoly" on the necks of the Ameri-
can people. But there stopped the fore
sight Of the eloquent lawyer The cup
rising Of the people," which he deemed
inconceivable has come to pass. The
telephone monopoly has been shaken
off. In spots, here and there, 1t still
holds control; but, in the nation as a
whole, 1t has been worsted. To-day 1t
operates approximately two and one
half million telephones, while the peo-
pie (for the opposition companies are

strength, have approximately three mil

There are over 5000 separate indie

In some, the ratio is as high as ten

age is not higher is due to the fact
that in many Of the larger cities (esne-
cially in the East, where the Bell in
struments are most numerous), the in
dependents are only lightning to get
into action. In New York City, for
example, the Bell has over 10000 tele-
phones No independent company has
succeeded, so far, in getting into the
city, owing to the political protection
the telephone trust has always enjoyed
there. But now the independent forces

They have unearthed a franchise which,
some Of the best lawyers in the conu-
try declare, viii compel equal rights
with the Bell, and they promise to have
225,0OO telephones in operation on Man

1t will be tremendous work, this at
tack on the metropolis, for the Bell
Company will fight to the last ditch.
New York is the keystone to its bust

stroyed or crumbled by competition, the
whole arch will tremble. Hence the

A well-knOwn Chicago banker has
made the statement before a public
meeting that mems souls shrivel in the
pursuit of wealth. "Old devils and
"cudmudgeons" are names he applies
to some Of the weaIEly men with
whom he has come in contact in bust
ness. The names may be rightly APP
piled in the particular case in mind,
and yet the Inference may not be cor
rectly drawn. The speaker has fallen
into the common error OF mistaking a
symptom for a cause The pursuit Of
wealth as distinct from the possession
of wealth is, if understood to be an
all-absorbing endeavor to amass riches
for themselves alone the sign CT
mind controlled by false ideals. The
pursuit of wealth is the characteristic
symptom of a soul disearse 1t does not
cause the soul to shrivel except as any
unchecked tendency to evil gathers
momentum. To fail in such pursuit is
not to be free from the curse 1t is
the love of money, not the money it
self, in which the evil is rooted. AS to
the effect of the possession Of wealth
upon the soul, no one can judge it with
gertrude. One can only guess what
would have been the development of
the same soul under the influence of
poverty. An infallibIe knowledge of
what might have been is the only basis
for comparison. And yet, with that
structural weakness inherent in any
attempt to write the history Of things
which never happened there are some
truths which seem to be revealed by a
survey of men. Some plants need the
sunshine, others the shadow, some the
moist heat Of the tropics, others the
cold drynesS Of the north. If they do
not flourish where they are, a change
nature. Some souls need wealth in
order to bloom, others are destroyed
by it, but wealth is not to blame The
sOrdid cares of poverty, the unrelent-
ing struggle for existence, may harden,
or imbitter, or Shrivel the soul quite
as much as the temptations of wealth
Whatever figure of speech is used the
idea is that the soul becomes some
thing farther from perfection, some
thing other than it might have become
in more favorable circumstances. Some
men have been made better by loss,
whether the loss of dear friends, or po-
sition, or health, or money. To others,
prosperity is essential for the blossom
ing of the virtues, so far as one may
judge. Wealth or poverty may equally
show a soul as good or bad. The mad
pursuit of wealth is another thing en-
tirely. 1t is not an influence or an
opportunity but a revelation, and at
the least shows moral blindness al
ready far advanced.
