BRYAN THE BRAVE

A singer down in Kansas MARBLES the
following prose song which is quite ap-
prOpriate at just this time:
Remember the gIOries of Bryan the

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

Thus far, the political parties have
held their conventions and nominated
their presidential candidates and the
man who cannot make choice out of
the number, should flock by himself and
not vote at all.
The presidential candidates are:
Republican William H. Taft.
Democratic William j. Bryan.
Prohibition -Engene ". Chafin.
POpulist Thomas f. Watson.
Social Labor NJ. r. Preston.
Social Democrat +. Y. Debs.
Personally, the candidates are all good
men and no one need to be ashamed to
vote for any Of them. The political
principals for which they stand should
influence the voter in casting his ballot.
Ii man is more anxious for principle
than party, he will not be throwing his
vote away, even should his candidate be
defeated. The consciousness Of having
voted his convictions, is better far than
success, where political honesty has been
sacrificed to advance party welfare. The
question each voter should ask himself:
Which party stands for the greatest
good for the greatest number? Having
arrived at an honest conclusion unin-
tiuenced by others, then vote as con-
science dictates and even should he be
in the minority he will have better
opinion of himself.

ABOUT DEFECTS
IN PUBLIC SERVICE

No sensible manager of any kind Of
public service has any desire to duck
complaints" In fact, the really far
sighted man welcomes useful criticisms
and suggestions. The attitude of the
Wisconsin Telephone Company in such
matters is to analyZe any kind OF
trouble" that is brought to its atten-
ton and to promptly apply remedy.
Good telephone service is, in the eyes
of the Wisconsin Company's manage
ment, the kind of service that best suits
telephone users. While the work of an
exchange may be excellent from an en-
cheering point of view, 1t may seem
faulty to the public in some respect.
There Is no way the company can de-
tect many of these apparent defects
unless it is told about them, and If they
are real the company is anxious to
prevent their recurrence.
-Apparent defects in service should be
reported to the manager Immediately
when the occasion arises. The volume
of traffic passing through an exchange
hour by hour Is so great that it Is often
hard to trace !: particular call any
length Of time after it is made.

Must Pay for Newspapers

The following is a synopsis of the
United States supreme court decision re-
garding delinquent subscribers. 1t is
copied from an exchange and will prove
interesting:
/. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are cOnsid-
cred as wishing to renew their subscrip-
tiOns.
2. If subscribers order the discOntin-
uancs OF their periodicals the publisher
may continue to send until all arrears
are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect Or refuse to
take their periodicals from the postOffice
they are responsible until after they have
settled their bills and ordered their pa
per discontinued.
4. 1t subscribers nave to other places
without informing the publisher and pa
pers are sent to the former address, sub
scribers are responsible.
5. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the office
or moving and leaving them uncalled
for, is prime facie evidence of inten-
tiOnal fraud.
6. If Subscribers pay in advance they
are bound to give notice at the end of
the time if they do not want to continue
taking it, otherwise the publisher is au-
thorized to send it, and the subscriber
will be responsible until an express no
tice with payment for all arrears is sent
to the publisher.

SAME CROWD OF POLITICIANS

The Milwaukee Journal makes a mis-
take when it asserts, that the stalwarts
are supporting Isaac Stephenson for the
United States Senate. How about the
Milwaukee Free Press? No one will
have the presumption to claim that it
was ever stalwart but then, why have
not the stalwarts the same right to sup
port Uncle Ike" that the half-breeds
have to support HattOn? And why
should the half-breeds discriminate
against Stephenson who was the bell
weather in their camp as long as they
could use him to further the personal
interests of a certain individual whose
heel is now lifted up against him. Graf
ltude does not appear to have an abiding
place in the heart of the great leader of
of reform"-for office. Mr.. Stephenson
can truthfully say: To hades with
pinch back" politicians of the reform
stripe.
