From every section of the State
comes complaints about the telephone
service rendered and the exorbitant
prices being charged. An individual
is powerless in the face of the gigantic
telephone corporation that controls the
business in Mississippi, and there seems
to be little use for him to kick. The
next legislature should pass some strin-
gent laws bearing upon this very i'm
portant proposition, guaranteeing to
every subscriber something for the
money he pays out in toll.

Where the Money Is.

During a meeting of the Chicago
Federation Of labor the other day,
one hot headed member wanted to
make trouble for every bank that re-
fused to pay out cash for full face OF
check. He just wanted to rip the
banks up the back. A quiet member
OF the musicians union, James O'Con-
nor, arose in reply and said:
/ have an account with a bank. ]
am paying for a home and it is mort
gagged. / borrowed the money from a
bank. Now that money might have
been deposited by some of you. The
bank can't pay you the money be-
cause 1t loaned it to me. Now, why
should you injure me by seeking to
draw out of the bank money that you
do not need, or trying to have that
bank declared insoiyent? You are
making a serious mistake and the
subject should not have been brought
in here.
The entire membership of that
large body Of laboring men saw the
point instantly and O'Connor was
cheered for the manner in which he
stated the financial situation. The
money in the banks keeps the bust
ness of the country moving, but draw
all the money out of the banks and
ruin would face US all. Money is no
good il you draw it from a bank and
hide 1t. It is the mighty power that
sells and buys everything.

Adams County North Dakota.

John Quincy Adams, connected
with the townsite and Land Depart
ment of the Milwaukee railroad, and
one Of the busiest men connected
with the extension of the new line
from the Missouri river to Seattle,
was In Canton last week on business.
He is popular everywhere ard no
where more So than in North Dakota.
1t was during the legislative assem-
bly, last winter in Bismarck that he
was honored as no man in either
North or South Dakota has been hon.
ored In a quarter of a century.
In territorial days, counties were
named after prominent citizens until
every county in the entire territory
had been provided.
The large county of Hettinger was
named after the fatherinlaw of the
present Surveyor General of North
Dakota and remained practically I'M
settled until four or five years ago.
The town of Mott was located and
made b county seat and the coun-
try began to develop rapidly. Then
came the coast extension of the Mil
waukee which crosses the boundary
line at the new town of Lennon.
The legislature found that Hettinger
county was too big for one county
and large enough for two and in this
emergency the law makers at Bis
marck inseeking for some prominent
citizen whom it might honor selected
the name of Adams and named it in
honor of John Quincy Adams, the
present townsite manager for the
Milwaukee. It's q good name and
patriotic men of that name were lead
ers in the revolutionary struggle and
two were presidents of the United
States, and we understand the gentle
man honored by North Dakota is a
descendant of that distinguished v
lutionary family.
Adams is n of the best counties
in western North Dakota and we'll
adapted for general agricultural and
stock raising. $50, 600 was paid for
lots in the new town of Hettinger, the
county seat, at the recent sale which
gives assurance of it's splendid loca-
tion us a business center.
Colonel Adams is very popular with
the new settlers because he spares
neither labor Or time to render every
assistance to those seeking homes in
that beautiful country.

The Argus Leader has been making
a great blow over how Kits pictures
were removed at Parker and how the
Parker Press insulted the big man by
asking him a few questions through
Its columns. The Argus Leadersco
tinued to publish these lies until the
entire business community Of Parker
sent out the following protest:
Sen. Kittredge's Argus Leader re-
Gently contained an article sent from
Parker claiming that the senator's
Panama canal advertising matter,
which consisted OF Kits pictures, had
been torn down by leading citizens Of
the town. Also that Kings Parker
Press Leader had made a vicious per-
sonal attack on the "big" senator.
The personal attack consisted of six
questions relative to the Senator's
past political history, which that
paper asked Mr.. Kittredge to explain
and although he spoke for over two
hours he failed to refer to the ques-
lions. Knowing that the report was
false and was sent out for political
purposes the business men of Parker
took no action on it, but when the
Senator's daily continued day after
day to repeat and enlarge upon the
falsehood the good citizens Of the
town became aroused and signed a
protest-an exact copy of which fol-
lows this article. This method OF Sc
curing political editorials for the Ar
gus Leader has convinced the people
of Turner county that the machine
has nothing to fight for except to save
a job for the 'big" senator and the
sentiment is ever the more strongly
opposed to returning Kit to the SEN
ate.
