must be heat to cause expansion, and colo
to cause contraction. If matter was ever
motionless or inert, and was set in motion
by heat and cold, We must suppose that
these forces were developments, and not
eternally existing forces or properties of
matter
We must conclude then that matter has
not only always existed, b iJ has always
been in motion. Even If heat and cold did
not always exist, they would naturally be
developed by the motion or movement OF
matter If either condition preceded the
other, it must have been cold, for heat is
developed by motion or friction, as well as
by certain combinations of matter.
But given Space, Matter and Motion as
eternally existing it is not difficult to be-
lieve that matter would get into all the

RATIONAL SPECULATION.
(By j. C.. Watkins

Space is a necessity. The idea of no
space is unthnkable. Space, therefore, is
an eternal condition; has always existed
and must always exist.
AS Nature abhors a vacuum, space must
be filled with something-has always been
filled and will always be filled with some
thing (matter). Matter, then, in some
form, or forms, has always existed and is
therefore eternal and per Sc, self existent
for if it has always existed it could not
have been created. But matter moves and
consequently changes. This tendency
must be an inherent property of matter,
for if it is not, then time is supposable
when matter was inert. If natter was ever
in such a condition, WHAT CAUSED 1T
TO BEGIN TO MOVE?

Perhaps there will be a goodly
number of people in Payette surpris-
ed when they read the above head
lines, and more surprised to know
that the above company has been do
ing business in their midst for the
past five or six years. The compa-
ny operates without wires or instru-
ments of their own. 1t is one of the
most economically operated telephone
plants in existence. The General
Manager Of said company has never
in all this time called on his subscri-
bers for one penny of rental. Now!
Have you come to a conclusion as to
who are the subscribers to this
Wireless company? Well they are
the fellows that borrow their neigh
boris phone. Mr.. Subscriber have
you ever met any of them? There
is not a telephone manager who has
not been confronted with the propo-
sition from some of his subscribers
with the request: ITO tell neigh
Dor so and so that it is against the
rules of the company to loan the
phone, ETC., but not mention his
name in connection" You can han
die the situation TO a better adyan- |
-age if you will.
How many people ever think OF |
borrowing the telegraph or electric
light? Make the comparison and see
f the same principle will not apply
o the telephone. Why not ask your
leighbor to pay your house rent? Or
