How many stones have we had t.

Some of us still have stones in the

For twenty years at least we have

At twenty the stones are in the way.
The outlook is small. The young man
cannot see far, know much or feel
deeply. The near, the noisy and the

picture is the stirring battle scene. His
ideal of music is the noisy band. He
is caught by movement and hilarity.
Having learned the better way at

Much Ado About Nothing.
(Bath Anvil.)

\ipdli AHNII/
The Democratic press has been maxi
ing great fuss about Hon. Bert NJ
Fernalds connection with the making
of the law under which telephone com
panies are taxed and his contemporary
eous interest in a telephone company.
The allegation is that through the
operation of the statute the company
in which Mr.. Fernald is Interested has
escaped bearing it's just share of the
burden OF government-Mr. FcTnald,
of course. reaping personal pecunlary
benefit through the influence he was
able to exert upon public policy as a
member of the Legislature and of the
committee which framed the law.
one would imagine from the hysteri-
cal comments of the Democratic news
papers that Mr.. Fernald was a mag
nate of the first order in public SER
vice monopoly.
AS a matter of fact. he has brought
this abuse down on his head by help
ing his neighbors to establish for their
own convenience a telephone line
which gives them good service at low
rates but which never has and prob
ably never will pay dividends.
ana III HIS speech at AiITtu recent
iy he pledged his support to any meas
urc which might be brought forward
which would provide a better solution
than does the existing law, of the
problem Of taxing telephone and othcl
public service corporations equitably.
In such fashion does the Democratic
press for political purposes turn a
positive public benefaction into a
seeming betrayal of trust.
It's campaign of scurrilous abuse is
| likely to bear fruit only in increasing
the size Of the Republican majority in
the fall.
