JOINING THE PROCESSION

Local telephone companies scattered
throughout the State are finding that
in union there is strength. This Is
shown by the large number OF such
concerns which are entering into con-
Meeting contracts with the Wisconsin
Telephone Company. A list recently
published showed that within a few
weeks thirteen companies had made
such arrangements in order to get the
benefits which come through at1llatlon
with a telephone system covering the
entire state and with long distance
facilities extending throughout the
country. The liberal policy of the WIS
consin Company in this matter is dong
much to give Wisconsin people the
benefit of general INSTRUMENTATION
over the telephone wires. This policy
is one which should be encouraged, and
it is one, it is believed, which will lind
increasing favor as its possibilities be-
come more generally recognized.
This method of conducting the tele-
phone business gives assurance that
every enterprising group of farmers or
local telephone association may have
not only neighborhood service but may
get for themselves all the facilities
which are at the command Of jewellers
large towns and cities.

FINANCE AND POLITICS.

After a spasmodic effort TO galvanize
the stock market into a semblance of
its old-time activity, the powers that
rule in Wall street have given it up
and reports published yesterday show
that conditions are just what might
have been expected. The general pub
lie has drawn out of the street because
IL Is economizing, because it has lost
confidence in the methods of the ma
nipulatnrs. and because common BUSH
ness sense indicates the need of con-
servatism. No nation can recover in
six months or a year from such a
shock as this country had last fall; and
there is no way of recovery except by
the old-fashioned ways of prudence, re-
trenchment and a cessation of reckless
outlay.
As matter of fact, the notion that a
sudden restoration of prosperity could
be induced by merely saying, prosperity
had returned, was largely political
effort to show that the party in power
was not responsible FOR last years
panic; and that it wasn't much of a
panic anyway. The movement failed
because investors pay little attention
10 political lodges and a good deal to
cold facts when they are considering
values. They see that railroad earn
ings have fallen off, that manufacture
ing activity is curtailed. that the steel
and iron trade, always a barometer of
trade conditions. is not in a healthy
state. Naturally, they prefer to let
their money lie idle or to place it in
some form of security that carries no
risk of depreciation until such time as
the tide of prosperity will rise from the
force of genuinely substantial produc-
ton.
All of the facts in the financial situa-
ton have been known for months to
those who were honest in their views.
None but the interested tried to OBJ
scure the truth and tempt the public
into speculation or uncertain invest
ment by predicting an immediate and
inflated rise in values. The trend is
upward, TO be sure, but the road over
the hill is a steep grade. the load is
heavy. particularly for those tremen-
ocus interests bound up In railroad and
other securities which have been at
tucked and discredited by the national
administration.
1t will take months. possibly a year
or two. to get back to the zenith of 1906
and the early part of 1907; and mean
while the party and the men respon-
sible for panic in times of tremen-
deus prosperity will have TO face the
responsibility with no hope of evasion. |

AN INTERESTING PARALLEL.

West Virginia Republicans have a
situation on their hands which sug-
gests curious parallel with the Smoot-
American" row over the electoral
ticket in Utah. There are two factions
in the state. one regular machine out
Mt, the other composed of men who
have revolted against the machine S
methods. Both have named tickets,
but the regulars" controlling the
party name. refuse TO permit the other
fsction to place the names of the Taft
electors on their ticket
Foreseeing the certainty OF Demo-
cratic victory and the loss of the state
for Taft II compromise Is not effect
ed. the Republican national! committee
has a subcommittee investigating with
view to settlement of some sort. In
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-09-05

West Virginia, as in Utah, the machine
leaders evidently prefer to endanger
their national ticket rather than lose
control of the local offices and fat pa
tronage which comes as a sequel of
domination. There, as here, the ma
chine has ridden roughshod over all
opposition within the party until it IS
confronted with defeat by revolt within
the ranks
In both states there is a chance for
the triumph of decency and Democracy
this year.
