STATEMENT MADE BY
TELEPHONE COMPANY

to that company, but we have included
the wire in our wire line mileage.
Allow me to suggest in the matter of
assessing telephone property that the
question of depreciation with value of
the property be considered. AS you
know, all our plant, with the exception
of the switchboard and telephone in
struments, is exposed to the elements.
The life of pole and of iron wire in
your community is not over 12 years.
The switchboards have to be repaired
constantly and renewed very frequent
ly. Telephone instruments are used
so continuously by the subscribers
that it is necessary for us to replace
them very frequently. Therefore, to
arrive at the true value of telephone
property for taxation you must con-
slider the question Of depreciation. This
matter can be very forcibly brought
to your mind when you consider the
storm that has just passed over your
section. Our entire exchange at Pur-
Wis was wiped out in night and the
lines and poles in your vicinity very
greatly damaged.
If there is any further information
you would like to have on the subject
would be pleased to answer your let
ter promptly. Yours truly,
T. D. WEBB, Treasurer.
Mr.. Webb Makes Correction.
Nashville, Tenn, June 25, 1908.
Mr. J. A. Beaumont, City Tax Assess
or, Hattiesburg, Miss.
Dear Sir-Referring to your letter
of June 18th and my reply of the
18th, | did not notice until today that
l made mistake in my letter to you,
had in mind the property in the
county instead>of the property within
the corporate limits of Hattiesburg. I,
therefore, wish to change the same to
the following:
632 telephones at S. each -. SO, 100
switchboard at ............ 1900
II miles of main line at 500 loo
each ........ ............... l,fOO
291 miles of side line at $40 each 2,9fO
horses at $50 each, and 81 i
wagons at $25 each .......... S225
Total ........... ........... $9,195
The only difference in the two re-
ports is few telephones that are out

Denver, July 81 p. m.-(Hearst
Flash BY a vote of thirty to fifteen
the credentials committee refused to-
seat the contesting Pennsylvania del
egation and by this action destroyed
the power of Colonel J. M. Guffey in
the convention.
Following the action of the creden-
tials committee, the New York Muir
ply delegation was seated unanimous
ly. The Sullivan delegates from IL
1inoisf were seated also.
! A genuine surprise was created
when Johnson delegates from the Nine
teenth Ohio district were seated by a
vote of "a to 22 In the Ninth Ohio
the national committee was sustained.
The Dubois delegation from Idaho
was seated 26 to 20.
In the District of Columbia the Clay
ton faction was given four votes and
the Davis faction 2.
The action of the credentials COM
mittee in throwing Colonel Guffey bod
lily out of all authority is expected to
result in bitter row on the floor of
the convention. Guffey is mad clear
through and is swearing vengeance
against Bryan. It is expected that he
will fight to the last ditch to retain the
power which he has maintained for SO
long.
ADD DENVER LEAD
The Pennsylvania committeeman
and Bryan have had several scraps of
late and Guffey recently gave out an
interview attacking the character Of
Bryan.
Sullivan, of Illinois, and McGraw, of
West. Virginia, two party, bosses who
have had. frequent tilts with Bryan,
Smay go to the aid of Guffey, as they
believe that Bryan has mixed too free

Convention Hall, Denver, July SIN
the matter of the race for vice presi-
dent, Ollie James from the border
state of Kentucky, now seems, to have
the best chance. and his friends are
predicting that he will be nominated
for the place.
James is a good man.. He has made
a fine record in congress and is pop.
ular with Democrats of all sections.
He is splendid speaker and cap
tivating story-teller. Ollie James has
won more than one fight against strong
Republican opposition, and his sup.
porters say that he is stronger and
more vigorous now than ever before.
Bryan and James wouldn't, make a
bad ticket. 1t sounds good. anyway.
But the nominations of James is by
no means certain.
}rhe New York delegation must be
plaeated, else there may be serious
trouble for the Sage of Fairview. To
prevent bolt, the convention may
come to the conclusion that it is best
to allow the New York delegation to
name the man for second place, in
which event the name of Francis Bur
ton Harrison looms large on the vice
presidential slate. Charles A. Towne
of New York, Is also candidate, but
the New Workers are not warming UP

tropics is beneficial. The war de-
partment decided to place on sale In
the Philippine commissarles quantities
of candy at the cheapest possible rate.
The Pacific Mail steamship Asia,
which sailed recently for the Orient,
carried 90 cases of candy to Manila,
where it will be distributed so that all
the soldiers on the islands may have
an opportunity to develop their sweet
tooth. A large quantity of candy was
sent to the Philippines by the China
and hereafter 100 cases monthly will
be the consignment. Doctors say
that lemon drops are the best sort OF
candy for the soldiers, but that pre-
scription will not be filled by the de-
partment, which is sending all varieties
of sweetmeats to the soldier lads, "
even to glazed fruits.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY.

The direct primary is an effort to
secure the definite expression of the
will of the people, without the inter-
ference or dictation of any boss and
for that reason, if the republican
party is not following strange gods,
ought to be one of the most promi-
nent planks in their platform.
Lincoln said the nation could not
endure half slave and half free. 1t can
be said with equal propriety that this
country can not exist as republic
where our chosen representatives do
the will of the people only part of
the time.
The direct primary system is to the
nomination what the Australian secret
ballot system is to election. In the
coming county convention every
delegate will have the names of two
or three men presented for nomina-
ton for certain offices. All the men
are his friends, yet one may be bet
ter qualified and stand for a more
rigid enforcement of the law than the
rest. The delegate is required to
openly make his choice, but his own
political future is bound up also in the
selection and he will be tempted to
favor him who will most likely lead a
delegation at coming convention.
Under our present system such a
choice. no matter how repugnant it
may be to our better nature, can not
really be condemned. Under direct
primary the choice will be made sec
ret, free from pressure, politically.
socially, religiously or through busi-
ness matters. There will be no re-
ordinations. There will be no bad
taste left and necessity for explana-
ton which so often follows a conyen-
ton.

A resume of some of the salient

A resume of some of the salient
features of direct primary are:
|. Direct primary will destroy
sectionalism and the grouping of cam
didates to please localities.
2. A candidates eligibility will be
determined from his personal qualif-
cations and not by his geographical
location.
3 1t will require candidate to
meet the people and not dicker with
the bosses and enlist in service of the
interests.
4. 1t will quickly and properly
settle the issues.
5. 1t will do away with the boss
and ward heller.
8. Men will be chosen more be-
cause of qualifications than because
of their genius to make combinations,
deals and trades.
7. 1t will give some inveterate of
fee seeker chance to see definitely
that they have no standing and cause
them to cease being constant candi-
dates, always terrorizing the public
with the fear that they might make
some combination and be elected.
8. 1t will make Office holders
more accountable to the people.
9. Secure better class of office
holders.
10. Do away with the proxy sys-
tenn and the doubtful means of pro-
curing proxies.
II. Make politics cleaner and
more honorable.
IL. The choice will be secret
and free from improper influence of
all kinds.
There are many other advantages,
but / will not inhict any more on you
at present. Carl Johnson, of Peck,
in Lewiston Tribune.

HAPPINESS AND ITS SHADOWS.

The great purpose of life is happi-
ness at least the nearest approach to
it that is possible. 1t is for happiness
that we toll, aspire, cultivate ourselves,
love, marry, accumulate property and
perform all the wholesome duties of
life.
Yes, too, it is for happiness that
we loaf, cheat, lie, steal and commit
all sins and crimes.
There is no other ultimate aim
known to the human mind than hap
piness. Our conception of happi-
ness determines our lives. There is
true happiness, the substance, and
the false happiness its shadow.
The one lures us upward, through
noble endeavors. The other is a
knocking will-o' -the-wisp that leads
US into morasses of disappointment
Are you getting the genuine article,
or a spurious imitation There is
this to be remembered: Genuine hap
piness does not cost anywhere near
as much as the false variety.
Perhaps the only one really to be
envied, and yet the one least envied,
is the one whose ideals are humblest
and best fit into the heart. For true
happiness consists not in the multi
plication of material wants, but in the
simplihcation of them.
There is likely to be more of it in a
simple wayside flower than in a con-
servatory filled with exotics; more OF
It in the song of wild bird than in
the braying of brass bands; more OF
it in the working mans bowl OF
bread and milk than in the sumptuous
spread designed for the perverted
palate OF the rich; more of it in the
tremulous Il like you" of a modest
youth or maiden than in a dramatic
l adore thee!' of assembling
world.
True happiness lies not in what the
eyes may see, the ears hear, the pal
ate taste and the hands hold, but in
the soul that senses things.
And he who thinks he must foot
the big brass horn or beat the bass
drum in order to be happy will find
the whole show of life delusion and
disappointment. st. Paul News.
