THE LOCAL TELEPHONE

The Madison Outlook speaks of the
Huron telephone squabble and refers
&c a system on under local corpora
tion plan. We do not believe that
people demand starvation prices in
service. Municipalities ought to charge
rates that return a fair profit to the
city and then give patrons the best
service possible. The outlook says:
The telephone committee appoint
ed jointly by the city council and the
commercial club of Huron handed in
their report last week in which they
recommended that the Zeitlow teIe-
phone trust be ordered to remove it's
poles and wires from the city and that
the city of Huron or q private corpora
ton Huron citizens organize a sys-
TEN in the city or that the Dakota
Central people remain and pay a divi-
dend on their business. The report
was adopt by the council and ntoice
served upon the telephone company
tions of the committee. Municipal
telephone plants are operated success
fully in a good many places. The wri-

OF stock and it is provided that no n
person may own more than two shares
OF stock, thus preventing ~centralizing
the stock. An executive committee of
five has the immediate control OF the
business. 1t has never been operated
for profit, but with the idea of furnish
ing good service at as cheap at rate as
possible. At present it is furnishing
day, night and Sunday service at 800
per month for business phones and 90
cents per month for residences. Each
patron, in addition, must bear the e
pense of the inside wiring of his place
and must own his one phone, which
costs about so. This gives an idea OF
what the telephone business can be
run for when it is not run for profit

(From Gov. Hughes youngstown
Specify
"Mr. Bryan also has much to say
with regard to corrupt practices and
campaign expenditures. But he omits
to give due credit to the Republican
party for what 1t has accomplished
with regard to these important reforms,
an accomplishment the more notewor-
thy in the light of Mr.. Bryan's reitsr-
ated criticisms of contributions to Re-
publican campaign funds. In the State
OF New York a Republican Legislature
in 1906 passed a statute prohibiting
corporations from making any political
contributions directly or indirectly, and
providing that officers, directors Of
stockholders participating in or con-
senting to the violation OF the law
should be guilty of 4 criminal offense.
In this country with regard to the pub
Lefty of campaign contributions and
for the prevention of corrupt practices
than that passed in New York under
Republican auspices. These were not
promises of an opposition party seek
ing power, but enactments by a party
In power securing genuine reforms.
Proper recognition must, of course, be
given to the patriotic Democrats who
supported these reforms. but they were
enacted by a Republican administra-
ton. Congress has also legislated
against political contributions by cor
porations. Purity of elections and free
opportunity for the uncorrupted express
sion of the popular will lie at the foun-
dation of every reform and cannot be
too carefully ~safeguarded. And there
should be federal legislation securing
proper publicity of and accounting for
campaign contributions In connection
with federal elections. But 1t must
fairly be recognized that the skirts OF
neither party have been clean. II we
search Mr.. Bryan's following we shall
find not a few who have sinned, and
also those who, II we may judge from
their local activities, are still unrepent-
ant. The Democratic party cannot
claim unsullied virtue either with re-
| gard to the source of Its revenue or
its readiness to receive them

COUNTRY NEEDS A REPUBLICAN
CONGRESS.

President Roosevelt Points Out I'm
portance of Electing Legislators
to Support Taft.
President Roosevelt, in a letter to
William b.. Mckinley. chairman OF the
Republican Congressional Committee,
appeals to disinterested citizens to join
with the National Republican Commit
tee and the Congressional Committee in
a movement to elect William H. Taft
as President and a Republican Congress
to support him, saying, in part:
1T is urgently necessary, from the
standpoint of the public interest, to
elect Mr.. Taft, and a Republican Con
gress which will support him and they
seek election on a platform which spe-
officially pledges the party, alike in its
executive and legislative branches, to
continue and develop the policies which
have been not merely introduced, but
acted upon during these seven years.
These policies can be successfully car
ried through only by the hearty cooper
alton of the President M the Congress
In both its branches, and 1t Is therefore
peculiarly important that there should
obtain such harmony between them. To
fail to elect Mr.. Taft would be a calam-
ity to the country and 1t would be
folly, while electing him, yet at the
same time to elect a Congress hostile
to him, a Congress which under the in
iuence of partisan leadership would be
certain to thwart and battle him on
every possible occasion. To elect Mr..
Taft, and at the same time to elect a
Congress pledged to support him, is the
only way in which to perpetuate tie
policy of the government as now car
ried on. l feel that all the aid that can
be given to this policy by every good
citizen should be given for this is far
more than a merely partisan matter"

you say that you have advo-
Gated more radical measures
against private %monopolies than
either I or my party associates
have been willing to undertake.
You have, indeed, advocated
measures that sound more radi-
cal, but they have the prime de-
feet that In practice they would
not work. I should not In this
letter to you discuss your atti-
tude on this question II you did
not yourself bring 1t up, but as
you have brought It up, | answer
you that In my judgment the
measures you advocate would be
wholly ineffective in curing 4
single evil. and 30 far as they
had any effect at ali, would mere
ly throw the entire business Of
the country into hopeless and ut
ter confusion. l put Mr.. Taft's
deeds against your words. l ask
that you be judged both by the
words you wish remembered. and
by the words that seemingly you
and your party now desire to
have forgotten. l hold II
entirely aatural for any great
law-defying corporation to wish
to see you placed In the Presi-
dency rather than Mr.. Taft. YoE
plans to put a stop to the abuses
of these corporations are wholly
chimerical. - Theodore Roose-
