Two Local Companies Are Greatly
Pleased.

There was great rejoicing in the
camps OF the two local telephone CON-
paniee, the Home telephone company
and the Central Union company, when
the Palladium notified the officials of
Judge Taylor's decision. For several
months these companies, which had
entered into a working agreement,
have been unable to work under its
terms because of the temporary in
junction secured by the United Tele-
phone company. Judge Taylor's de
cision means the immediate resump-
ton of business under the agreement
referred to.

CURRENT COMMENT
The Morgan Horse.

Many reader Of the Republican has
owned and valued Morgan horse
small, nervy, vigorous, intelligent and
entirely trustworthy. Hence the or
gani.ation Of national Morgan horse
association Is Of general interest. The
United States government, through It's
agricultural department, has given full
recognition 70 the virtues Of this breed
Of horses, as good in war as in the eg.
eiyday work Of the world. Springfield
Republican
Vermont Morgan horses were the
prototypes Of the finest strain OF car
riage horses in the world, 1t Is one OF
the strangest things about the agricul-
tlral history Of the state that breed
efs and landowners should have 20 gen
orally neglected the preservation and
reproduction of this type The Morgan
horse was, and might speedily become
ane Of the finest material assets Of the
state. Athousand farmers who are
eking out a difficult existence on poor,
rundown and rocky farms might breed
Morgan horses as easily as they breed
Jerseys and to greater profit.
A Jersey cow il az delicate AZ deer
and more susceptible to Illness and
nlisadventure. horse is also hazard
GUS property, but The chances for fine
profit. in carriage drivers and paired
teams, are constant and universal. Why
not more Morgan horses, as side line ?

Edwin Hawley (who, by the way, few
people have heard about is touted as
the coming railway king" to take Har-
riman's place. 1t is interesting to note
that this man Hawley casually remarks
that ut takes no great wit nor diplo-
macy to make million dollars" Never
theless, HawIey's own career is refu-
tation Of the theory. He hasn't acquired
bis present big railroad holdings by mere
@hard work and the exercise Of the
quality to take a few risks" For in
stance, his outwitting Of Hartman him
self in Chicago & Alton railroad deal
which knocked Hartman off his own
railroad board required sharp practices
which are net made merely by hard
work and the willingness to take a
chance. MI. Hawley has surely not prac-
tieed Whist he preached, while at the
same time it is admitted that he has
worked hard and taken some chances.
