"THE PHONE AND THE RURAL
PROBLEM"

An interesting appreciation Of
the part OF the farm telephone has
recently come to play in the affairs
of the South appeared a short time
ago under this heading in the COL
urnns of the Atlanta Constitution
in an editorial which stated:
"Roosevelt'scountryl commits
sion designated the telephone as
one of the foremost influences max
ing for the solution of the rural
problem. The experience of Geor-
gia and other Southern States is
convincing testimony in that direc-
tion.
"The following extract from the
Union, s. c., Times sets forth this
fact in remarkably brief compass,
while drawing attention to the
unique role the rural phone plays
in politics:
"'There is no disputing the fact
that the rural telephone has come
to stay and that it is one of the
greatest conveniences of modern
times. Efforts to establish these
rural lines should receive the
hearty endorsement of all our peo.
pie, The line out to Kelton is al
ready proving itself very great
convenience. Now that the cleo
tion is to come off, we expect to get
the returns withipg few minutes
of the time that the vote there is
counted. Now, if we had direct
wire to Cross Keys and West
Springs and to Meador's and to
Whitmire, what an easy task we
would have to get the returns from
every box in the county! Notonly
that, but the people living along
these lines could get the returns
from all over the country just as
fast as the papers could add up
and tabulate the results here.
Look here, Mr.. Farmer, let's get
busy and get these lines scattered
throughout our country before an
other two years. And election
returns is but one of the many
advantages, If we had good roads
and telephone lines how easy to
get q doctor in time of sudden ILL
ness. Then, too, how easy for the
resident in the country to ring up
Union, Jonesville, New York-in
fact, any market, and get prices or
any other valuable information in
connection with the marketing of
his productl We believe the day
Of the rural telephone and of the
good xoads is atihand. An.sdvanc-

ing civilization is crying loudly
for these two marks of a progress
sive people
"The farm lines that make almost
a network of Georgia comprised a
material factor in the ease with
which the Constitution made it's
unprecedented reports of the re-
suits in the States recent guberna-
torial election.
"It was notable that returns came
in from those counties well sup.
piled with the rural phone inf
nitely more quickly than from
those counties that have not yet
seen the light in the right place.
"The Times is correct. The po-
litical usefulness of the rural
phone is one of it's smallest advan-
tages. The farmer with this in
strument in the house keeps a fin
ger on the pulse of the market, has
the doctor almost next door, is pro-
tected in the event Of fire and is in
immediate touch with his neigh.
bors as we'll as with civilization, SO
far rs this country is concerned.
"When it is considered that the
average farmer can install this ad-
vance agent of development at
cost less than the present return
from bale Of cotton, it is not diff
ficult to understand why the rural
phone is making great strides in
this as in other States"
That the telephone is compara-
ble only to the "good roads" move
ment in it's broadening effect on
the Southern farm population is
the opinion of some of the South's
most eminent men. 1t requires a
long time to build a good road
even when community decides it
wants one, but it is q matter of
only few days and little cost to
get telephone line.
The growth of the farm tele-
phone movement throughout the
country is shown by the figures of
the Western Electric Co., which
having sold no less than a
quarter-mlllion of it's rural tele-
phones in the past twenty months. |
The South had good share in
this total, great many thousands
of the instruments having come
into this section.
Unquestionably the extended de-
velopment of the rural telephone
throughout the South will result
not only in economies in farming
methods but in what is of quite az
much if not more Importance
greater safety to the Southern
homes and better social conditions
in these homes.

DISORDER
BY CARMEN IN
PHILADELPHIA
Presence of State Police Has
QuIeting Effect
RIOTERS QUICKLY ARRESTED
Action on General Strike Has Been
Deferred Until Meeting Of Labor
Leaders on. Sunday

Philadelphia, Feb. 25.-There was
little disorder in any part Of the city
yesterday in connection with the car
mems strike. The good order was
ascribed to the presence of the state
police, who were assigned, soon after
the arrival of the four companies to
the Kensington district. where the
most serious disturbances of the pre-
vious days of the week occurred.
Efforts to provoke the troopers in
to reprisals resulted in the prompt
dispersal of the crowds and the ar
rest of/those engaged in the disorder.
Every movement of the state police
in the suppression Of threatened out
breaks was swift prompt and deter
mined and 1t was declared by Direc-
tor Clay that the presence OF this
body to supplement the city police
had produced a marked effect in the
minds of the lawless element.
Representatives OF labor organiza-
tions held a conference and decided
to defer action on the question of
calling general strike. Leaders of
labor unions not affiliated with the
organizations in this movement will
be invited to conference to be held
on Sunday. when 1t is intended to fix
time for calling out the workers.
John ]. Murphy, president of the Cen
trail Labor Union, which is leading
this sympathetic strike movement de-
clared that should all these bodies
respond more than 100000 men and
women will go out.

TO ATTACK ELLIS
ON HIS RECORD
IN OHIO
Cox Element Opposed to New
State Chairman
WANT TO DRIVE HIM OUT
Buckeye State Political Leader Was
Not Consulted in Making
Selection

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 25.-A deter
mined effort is to be made to force
Assistant Attorney General Wade FL
lis out of his place of chairman of the
state executive committee to which
he was elected less than two weeks
ago. Those conducting the fight
openly declare that certain of his ac.
tons while attorney general of Ohio
will be brought out and the revela-
tons will compel his retirement from
Ohio politics.
Mr.. Ellis was chosen chairman of
the state executive committee after
consultation of President Taft with
political leaders who represent the
administration in Ohio. Great sur
prise was expressed on all sides
when 1t became known that George
b. Cox the Cincinnati boss, had not
been consulted in the matter. The
surprise was still greater when it be-
came known that Cox was not among
the guests at White House dinner
given by the president to a number
OF Ohio political leaders a few days
ago.
AS result some of Cox's friends
are here looking up Ellis admins
tration of the office of Attorney Gen.
eral of Ohio.
Data is being gathered concerning
the alleged graft under ex-State
Treasurer Cameron, which legisla.
i've committee has disclosed and
which Ellis ignored when 1t was laid
before him as attorney general.

IMMIGRANT BANKS
UNRESTRICTED IN
OPERATIONS
Handle Hundreds of Millions
Without Legal Control
NO INTEREST TO DEPOSITORS
Money is Used by Institutions in
Their Own Business
Operations

Washington, Feb. 25.-More than
1890 persons throughout the United
States are engaged in what amounts
to an unregulated banking business
almost entirely outside of legal con-
troll, their customers being found
wholly among immigrant labOrers
who for the most part do not speak
English, according to report on the
subject of immigrant banks transmit
ted to the Senate yesterday by Sen
ator Dillingham; of Vermont, Chair
man of the immigration Commission.
The report shows that the only
states which have established any eff
fective control cl the immigrant
banking business are Massachusetts
and New Jersey. The bankers under
consideration in the report are for
the most part engaged in business
such as steamship agents, labor
agents, saloonkeepers, grocers, or
boarding house agents. Many of them
do not in any respect conform to the
general banking laws of the States in
which they operate, and yet they an
nually handle hundreds of millions
of dollars
so untrustworthy and without Sc
curity is this System" reads the re-
port, that through failure or by reas-
en- Of dishonesty on the part of the
less scrupulous among these bankers,
the immigrant laborers who deal
with them are annually imulcted of
large sums"
A large majority of the immigrant
bankers investigated, the report says,
use the money for their patrons in
the extension of their own business
or for speculation in real estate or
other securities, but in some cases
! the money is deposited in some regu-
lar bank and the interest accrues to
the benefit of the immigrant banker.
In practically all cases investigated
the immigrant banker pays no inter
est to his patrons. These immigrant
bankers transmit abroad at least
S175,OOO,0OO.
The total amount annually sent
abroad on behalf of immigrants is es-
timated at $275, 100000 for the pur-
pose of supporting families in foreign
countries, the payment Of debts for
bringing other immigrants to this
country, or for savings or invest
ments in foreign lands. 1t has not
been possible to estimate how much,
If any, of this money might have
been retained in the United States
had better facilities been afforded

CONNORS TO KEEP
HIS JOB UNTIL
APRIL |
Will Give Up Craftsmanship Of
State Committee
MOVEMENT FOR HARMONY
Murphy Had the Votes to Put Him
Out But Let Him Down
Easy

Albany, Feb. 25-Chairman Will
liam ] Corners will continue as chair
man of the Democratic state commit
tee until April II. When he called
the committee meeting to order yes
terda; afternoon he stated that it was
his intention to resign at the expir-
alton of his term on that date and
gave his reasons fer so doing.
With the exception Of p E. McCabe
the Albany county leader the up
state antiConners committeeman
were inclined to permit Corners to
serve out his term. At this critical
time in party affairs it was their opin
ion that it would be better to put up
with his leadership month or two
longer than to inject further bitter
ness into the situation. 1t was con-
ceded that Murphy has the votes to
GUST Corners should he say the word
but compromise was deemed better
than radical action at this time
Corners and Murphy themselves
were said to have discussed the ques-
ton of the chairman's immediate res
ignation. Murphy, it was said, at
first demanded that Corners resign
now, but Corners declined. The lat
ter is then said to have expressed his
willingness to step down and out at
the end of his term, which Murphy,
after further negotiations with his ad-
herents, decided would be the wiser
plan.
Resolutions for submission to the
meeting were agreed upon by the up
state committeeman favoring the fed
eral income tax amendment, the dir
ect primary measures introduced by
Senator Grady and Assemblyman
Frisbie in the legislature and rural
registration. A fourth resolution
condemns the Republican tariff revis-
ion.
