PROSPEROUS cable. telephone and tele-
sraph companies in the United States
Canada and Europe. including the en-
IRE capital stock Of the Commercial
cable company. and the various compa-
mes constituting the land line system
known as the Postal Telegraph. The
purpose Is to make the basis of the
Mackay companies SO broad and di-
tersified as to render impossible any
fundamental impairment of the value of
the preferred or common shares. Ac-
cordingly, the investments include
stocks in submarine cable companies in
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and in
the Postal Telegraph land line system
and in dividend-paying stocks in the
best telephone companies. The Mackay
company is by far the largest stock
holder in the American Telephone &
Telegraph company, commonly known
as the Bell Telephone company, it's
holdings being more than four times
those of any other stOckholder in that
company. The report adds that the
friendly relations should be cemented
in the interest of the shareholders of
both companies, and also of the public
at large.

The Lincoln Daily Star. republican,
defends President Rooseveit's letter to
Honore Jaxon on the ground that the
president, In referring to Meyer and
Haywood as undesirable citizens" re-
fened only to men whose innocence
has not been established" This seems
to be another one of the fruits of the
new dispensation. In the old days when
the constitution and the flag went side by
side. and this was a representative gov
ernment instead Of colonial government,
the rule was that men charged with crime
should be deemed innocent until proved
guilty. In other words it was up the
prosecution to prove guilt. Now, &C
cording to this Lincoln newspaper, a
man must prove his innocence or go to
the cell or the oose.-Commoner.

Is Mr.. Roosevelt a candidate for a
third term2 This is very popular CUES
tion these days and men are divided up
on it. Under date Of April 9th the
Washington correspondent for the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, republican, says:
There is little doubt but the president,
while sincere at the time he made his
announcement, would, at this time accept
the republican nomination and an cleo
ton at the hands Of the people if he
thought the people would stand for it
and would rally about him in the cam
paign. Many who have talked with
him recently believe that he is now en-
gagged in pointing out the objections to a
third term and his possible defeat at the
polls, with the hope and idea Of having
his objections overcome by great wave
Of sentiment in his favor

- CoU Thief Too Busy to Servo His ssn.
eence.
In the county seat of q little Texas
frontier town, an i1literate old cattle
man was brought up before the grand
Jury for cow-stealing. The old man
had been stealing COWS all his life, and
looked upon this arrest as a joke,
thinking that his money and his in
nuence would be able to pull him
through. Consequently he sat through
the trial with look of sublime un
concern on his face, cutting of chew
after chew of tobacco and whiting q
bit of pine with his old Barlow knife.
The evidence. however, seems to have
been conclusive, for the jury retired
and speedily returned, bringing In .
verdict of guilty, and the Judge a.
scssed q term Of five years in the peni-
Tertiary.

rascal, jumping up and splitting his
