OVER SEVEN MILLION PHONES.

According to an estimate recently
made there are 7,39S,O0O telephones
in use in the world of which over 81
100000 are in the United States, and
the next highest number is 1000, 900
distributed throughout Europe, Can
ada has 10000.
Taking the Scientific American for
authority these totals are of neces-
sity approximate, for it is very diff
cult to get figures from distant parts
OF the world, In countries also where
the telephone service is under gov
ernment management the returns axe
apt to be particularly delayed in the
giving out.
From available statistics the Bell
companies of the United States gain
ed 119 per cent in the number of
their subscribers from the year 1908
to 1907. Independent companies in
the middle west, their stronghold
gained approximately 10 per cent
during the same period supposlng
hat their expression in other fields
wa "a the same rate, the number of
"indep -nden" stations at the begin
ming of the present year should have
been between 100000 and 2,OOO,-
600
In Europe. the number OF telephone
subscribers doubles once IN every six
or seven years, a considerably slower
rate th.n that Ia this country. How
over il shows that the telephone is
increasing popularity on the conti-
lent with reasonable ra, idity.
Germany. at the commencement of
the present year, had 67S,S55 tele-
phones in use, Great Britain 4S1,01S.
All told. however, there were in use
in Europe, with a population of near
ly l25,0 600 600 but 40 per cent as
many telephones as in the United
States, with a population in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. 900.

SENATOR BOURNE'S PLAN.

| advise my friends and constituents
in Oregon in their own interest, in
the interests of cleaner politics, in
the interest Of true republicanism, in
the interest of completely enfran-
chised and ideal American citizenship,
to vote for statement No 1 nominees
only for the legislature in the repub-
lican primaries in April; to vote only
for statement No / nominees in the
June election, and to vote for their
party nominee for United States SEN
ator. In Oregon the key to continued
triumph for republican party princi-
pies. in the rule of the sovereign peo-
pie, as exemplified in Lincoln and
Roosevelt, is the perpetuation of our

THE BEST HE,CAN.

| allus argy that a man
Who does about the best he can
Is plenty good enough to suit
This lower mundane institute.
No matter ef his daily walk
Is subject for his nelghbor's talk.
And critic m nds of ev'ry whim
Jest get up and go for him.
It's nachural enough, l guess,
When some gets more and some get
less,
For them that's on the slimest side
To claim 1t amt fair divide.
And I've knowed some to lay i'm wait
And get up soon and set up late
To ketch some fellow they would hate
Fer goin' at faster gait
The signs is bad when folks commence
A-fndin' fault with Providence
And balkin' cause the world don't
shake
AT ev'ry prancin' step they take.
No man Is CRATE till he can see
How less than little he would be
Ef stripped to self and stark and bare
He hung his sign out everywhere.
My doctrin' is to lay aside
Contentious and be satisfied;
Jest do your best, and praise or blame
That follers that count jest the same,
I've allus noticed great success
Is mixed W tn trouble more.or less,
And it's the man who does the best
That gifts more kicks than all the rest.

An article from the Nashville, Tenn,
Banner, published during L. T. Coop
ers visit to that city, throws some
light on the remarkable success OF the
young mans theories and medicines
in various cities visited by him during
the past year. The article is as fol-
lows:

During the afternoon the reporter
interviewed many of the callers and
obtained statements from all who

those statements as being typical Of
the general expression OF the people
seen:

CAUSES OF FAILURES.

1t Is really amusing to read the
causes given by government statisti-
clans for the many business failures
recorded throughout the country from
year to year.
As a matter of fact the statistics
cover but the most superf cial
grounds and do not get into the true
psychology, the genuine facts of the
cases under consideration. While in
competence, lack of funds, inexperi-
ence and other causes are assigned,
yet 1t is safe to say that some of these
are the truly underlying causes, but
that the fear of the individual that
he will fail, invites the failure which
is expected.
When business men come to under
stand themselves as part of the
plan of the universe. a part of the
mind and soul of nature, and not as
mere mechanical automaton, they
will use their powers to avoid fail
ure, just as they use precaution to
avoid disease.
The assertion often made that ex-
cessive competition drives many bus
mess men to the wall is strikingly
refuted in a statistical summary of
failures and their causes recently is
sued by the Bradstreet company says
report on the alleged causes.
Out of a total of 1926 failures in
the United States last year, only 1877,
or 12 per cent were due to competi-
tion. In the struggle for success in
the commercial world il is plain that
the business man has less to dread on
this score than he sometimes tries to
make the rest of the people believe.
The greatest cause of failure is the
lack of capital. Failures from this
cause in 1907 were SSO7, or 81 per
cent OF the total.
Incompetence is another prolific
source of commercial shipwreck. The
percentage of failures credited to this
cause was 22.6, the years record
showing that 2S1S men had gone into
business for themselves without the
proper knowledge Of personal qualifi-
cations to carry it on.
Next on the list is specific condi-
tons" said to have been response [
BILE for 1913 per cent of the failures.
In these conditions are included dis
asters and other events not due to the
fault of those who failed. An inter-
estlng fact brought out is that only
seven-tenths of 1 per cent Of the fall
ures were due to speculation. while
fraud. the cause fourth in prominence,
brought about 1O.1 per cent
The statement in its entirety is in
structlve as demonstrating individual
for failure. Causes are |
grouped IN two classes: Those due
to faults of those failing and those
not due to such faults.
In the first class are Incompetence,
lack Of capital, unwise
granting of credits. speculation
(outs de regular business), neglect of
business, personal extravaganza and
fraudulent disposition of property. In
the second class are specific condi-
tions. failures Of others and compe-
tltion.
