An Apt Reply to Cushman

They were having hearing on the

'sTell me, said Representative
Cushman, IF Washington, to witness
from the bureau OF standards, 'scould
one of your men take the little end of
nothing and whittle it down to such a
fine point that he could then take the
hair Of a mouse, push out the pith,

The following letter from Supt

THE following letter from Supt
~ Kent, of the Int: rna tional Tel
ephone Company, reached the editor
just little too late for publication
last week. The information it con-
tains will be very welcome news TO
most of the people Of the county, and
especially to the business men. 1t is
quite unexpected. for SO far as we
know there had been no complaints
in this county about the rates hither-
to charged by the International Com
pany for it's service. Some kicks, /"
however, had been made in Belling-
ham, whose business men, with few
exceptions, did little to encourage
the company in the great undertak-
ing when some of its stock was offer
ed for sale there, and who have CIV
en- the company but little business
since its splendid service was estab-
lished. It is presumably in response
to Bellingham's complaint that the
company has decided to put in effect
on the first of May such a greatly re-
duced schedule of service rates.
This county is under very great
obligation to the British Columbia
Telephone Company for establishing
connection between its Vancouver
and Victoria systems by way of the
San Juan islands. It has removed
the incubus of insular isolation to a
greater degree than anything else
could and has given greater stimu-
ius to the county's growth and de-
velopment than anything else has ev-
er done or than any other project is
ever likely to do. It is to be hoped
that the company's hope Of marked
increase of revenue in this county
will be realized. Mr.. Kent says:

o. HI. CULVER, ESQ.,,
Friday Harbor, WASH,
Dear SIR
You will, 1 am sure, be pleased to hear
that we have, in order to popularize the
telephone and If possible increase the vol
ume of business, decided to reduce our
conversation rate between Island points
and Bellingham and Island points and
Victoria, after May Ist, next. from so cts.
and Is cts. to 80 cts. and sets.
For your information l may state that
we are trying this as an experiment in the
hope peofincreasing our revenue.as the reve-
nue. we have received from Island points
has not been what we anticipated, and
trust q reduction in this rate will have the
desired effect of bringing us more busi-
ness, and that in addition to this our many
patrons will appreciate what we have
done.
Yours truly,

BAILEY RETORTS
WITH STATEMENT
Denies Every Charge Gener-
ally and Specifically.
Says He ~ Not Employed by Standard
oil Company and Never Has
Been In His Life.
TELLS TENNESSEE EPISODE

Dallas. Tex. Sept. 26.-The fol-
lowing statement was made public
tonight by Senator Joseph W. Bailey
in reply to criticisms OF him and his
record which have been circulated
during the past few days:
"The Democrats of Texas have
not forgotten that exactly this same
kind of fight was made on me
when first elected to the senate six
years ago. After | had won the
senatorship In fair contest before
the people. a coterie of dissatisfied
politicians made a desperate attempt
TO defeat my election by the legisla-
ture. The present agitation was
largely inaugurated by the same
men, with some outside assistance,
and is predicated upon exactly the
same transactions.
The Tennessee Central.
"The first step in this campaign
OF malevolence and detraction was
to have a purported interview with
the Hon. Roger C. Sullivan. OF I'LL
nois. assalling me sent broadcast
over the country. Mr.. Sullivan
promptly denounced that Interview
as a falsehood made out of the
whole cloth.
THE next step was to circulate
the story that the Tennessee prop
critics for which I am the attorney,
belong to the Standard Oil company;
and they sought TO impose this false
hood upon the falr-minded and jus
tice-loving Democrats of Texas.
Some of the men who are circulat-
ing that story know, and all of them
could have learned with very little
inquiry. that the Standard Oil COM
pany had no interest in or connec-
ton with these properties and that
they were owned by H.C. Pierce, JIG.
Van Blarcom. W. r. Thompson and
many other leading business men of
st. Louis.
THE third step in the process
was to pretend that the testimony
given by Mr.. Pierce disclosed a Sc
cret employment of me in connec-
ton with those properties. Some OF
the very men engaged in this move
ment have been complaining for
months that was the attorney Of
these very properties, and they knew
all about II year ago.
THE statement. so industriousiy
circulated by some. that | put sl3,-
100000 worth of securities in my
pocket, to do with them as pleased
is little less than ridiculous. did
not have s13 worth of securities in
my pockets"

Iawlessness begets lawlessness.
nothing else. The terrible. scenes en-
acted in Atlanta are but the natural
and certain result of mob rule. Too
long We have coquetted with violence

/ ated the hideous doctrine of the mob
and defiantly gloated in its triumph,
slaughter pen. 1t requires no fine
reasoning to discern the honorable
motives that sometimes impel COM
/ monty law-abiding men under stress
of peculiarly great provocation TO
commit deeds of violence In defense
of their women; but such cases only
are even remotely excusable when
done in hot blood, and when redress
by extreme penalty of the law is
doubtful. Such conduct goes beyond
the law, and becomes license when
winked at. License is the privilege
of the baser sort as well as the best
T citizens. The effect of lynch law,

many instances would be only bene-

typical product Of the brutalizing in

mob. formed under the guidance of
cool headed leaders, sought out and

white women. few would have moral

terrible chapter for both races. per-

mob justice. The jury dodger can
not tell how far he is responsible for
