Telephones and Competition.

Every community which has a tele-
phone service is likely to be con-
fronted by the question of granting a
franchise to a rival company. Each
case must be decided by the govern
ing circumstances, but every case will
problem. The telephone is a natural
monopoly, for it is to the advantage
of every subscriber that all users OF
telephones should be on the same sys-
tenn with him. More than one system
means that subscriber must have
more than one instrument or be out
of communication with part of the
world of telephone-users. 1t is diff
cult, however, to adjust human nature
to ideal mechanical conditions. Estab-
lished companies, without rivals, lack
the motive of competition to keep
rates down and service good. There
forelsome communities have welcomed
new companies which promised better
and cheaper service. Dual systems,
like labor strikes, are on their face
economic losses, yet it may be worth
while to endure the temporary dis
j comfort and loss in order to secure
better conditions ultimately. The
butcher may be on one system and
the baker on another, yet low rates
may bring two instruments within the
of nd CO I'm.
crease the number of subscribers
within call as to atone for the incon-
venience. If finally one company alb
serbs the other, the community may
have become so well established in
low rates that the surviving company
dare not raise them. On the other
hand says the Youths Companion, the
effect of competing companies is
sometimes merely to divide the tele-
phone-users of a community without
adding many to the total number, and
if the companies then make an agree
ment to keep rates up, the community
is worse off than before. In the
strategical game which a community
plays with public service companies,
it is difficult to determine in the case
of the telephone service how far the
actual or threatened establishment Of
rival company stimulates mechani-
cal improvement and checks the ma
tural tendency of monopoly to extor-
ton. No community can settle the
question without careful study.

Devoted to Grandfather and
His Illness Results in
Her Death
HENRY BUNDY EXPIRES.
HE WAS OWNER OF THE FAMOUS
BUNDY MAIDSTONE, TO WHICH
AN INTERESTING STORY is At
TACKLED.

New Castle, Ind, Sept. 17.-Only
few hours after his granddaughter,
Miss Belzora Kendall, had died of
grief because she was sure of his
death. Henry Bundy, owner of the
famous Bundy maidstone, expired at
the Kendall home. Both bodies lay
silent in the house the few hours inter
vening between the aged mans death
and the young wornan's funeral,
which was held Monday. The two
were close companions.
Henry Bundy, SO years of age, died
after several months illness of para
lysis. His granddaughter was con-
stantly at his bed side. Saturday.
when it became evident that he could
live only short time longer, the girl
became unconsolable. She died sud
denly of heart trouble. The funeral
of Miss Kendall, who was % years
of age, was held Monday and that of
her grandfather will take place We'd
nesday.
The aged man was the owner of the
Bundy maidstone, which had not only
been a puzzle to all who have seen it,
but has made a comfortable living for
it's owner. The longest record for
c1inging was made by the stone when
it chung for 234 hours to the body of
an Attica, co. woman who had been
bitten by a mad dog.
1t was given to Mr.. Bundy's par
ents by an Indian squaw, who lived
with the family in the days of early
settlement. The ownership of the
stone is likely to cause legal battle,
as it is understood that it will be
claimed by the Kendall family and by
Charles Bundy, a son. At present it
is in safety deposit vault.

and signed by r. G.. Tucker, makes 1t
plain that the Fairbanks forces are af-
ter delegates to the republican conven-

Joe Healing. the Big Chief of the

of Mr.. Watson's stubborn candidacy as

that Congressman Watson, by delaying
action and by deferring several weeks
to the demands of the Fairbanks inter-
ests, has weakened himself very great
". His evident lack decision as to
the particular nomination he coveted,
and his somewhat flippant illusions to
the governorship have given his oppo-
nents themes for criticism and adverse
comment, injurious to the Watson
boom
In any event Mr.. Watson is in the
governorship race for better or worse,
with the job of building an organiza-
ton still ahead of him. He has sent
word along the line and his friends are
busy, and will continue SO for the next

Marriage Ideals.

There's not the slightest doubt that
to make a home that is always full
of charm takes work and thought. But
it is worth the price, isn't it? 1t is
yours to make home place that is the
most loved spot on earth to your hus-
band,or the one that fills him with the
greatest sense of WEAKNESS and repul-
sion-a place to fly to, or one TO fly
away from-which is it to be?
Before a man is married he thinks
of possessing home as a goal toward
which TO work. He looks forward to it
as place of peace and rest where he
will go to throw down the troubles of
life and be sOothed and comforted. He
sees himself sitting down to daintily
prepared and served meals. opposite a
cheerful and neatly dressed wife.
When, instead of this. he finds him
self returning home at night to an i'll
kept, ill-managed house; when he sits
down opposite a frowsy woman to a
dinner, of overdone meat and under
done bread; when, i'm place of the peace
and rest he expected, he finds that he
has added all Of the multifarious wor-
ries of housekeeping To his own bust
ness cares, all his ideals of marriage
and home and love are scattered at one
fell blow
He has struck the upgrade OF matri-
mony, where it is just one long. life
less. spiritless pull. 1t is to the ever
lasting disgrace of woman that it is her
hand that oftenest first plucks the iliu-
sion from matrimOny, for every woman
who marries faces the question of the
kind of home she VIII make, and de-
cides il.
