THE TELEPHONE DILEMMA
THAT PUZZLES CHICAGO.

Municipal regulation of public ser
vice corporations is q principle tina,
has steadily gained in favor as a curt
for the various evils the public hs.
had to suffer. Especially q reduction
in the rates charged by such corpora
tions is the boon greatly desired. But
in Chicago a new phase appears in
the task of regulation. If it is hest
for public interests to regulate in such
a way as to raise rates instead of low.
ering them, will it approve? Henry
c. Morris, who writes on this "New
Phase of Municipal Regulation" in
The World of Today for July, says Of
the Chicago situation:
"A new condition has, however,
recently arisen in connection with the
pending revision Of the ordinance af:
fecting the Chicago Telephone COM
pany, which contains the germs Of
startling possibilities. The principle
involved is not by any means limited
to the situation in Chicago, but may
easily be of general application
Throughout the country. Municipal
play and a square deal, on the one
hand for the people making use of the
service furnished by public utility
company, and, on the other hand, for
the corporation supplying the product
or service essential for the comfort and
convenience of the community, and
for those whose capital is invested in
it."
The Chicago Telephone company
appears to be mourning an annual loss
and the city council has to decide
whether to give authority to raise
rates. An investigation by technical
engineers and expert accountants, who
have examined the books of the tele.
phone company, resulted in a report
to the city comptroller of q net annual
deficit of sos, 5S3. This is the first
time the report of experts justified an
increase in charges of q public utility |
corporation. The report is q disap-
pointment to the public which had
expected further reduction.
The claim is made that it costs |
more per telephone for service in q
arge city than in small city. The
arger the city grows the more tele-
,hone service will cost. Plant install.

POOR LITTLE KID.

Aren't you sorry for Baby Vinsou
Mclean, heir to the Mclean $780,.
100000?
You must remember that newspaper
story Of several months ago, telling
how IN attempt Was made, or thought
to have been made, to kidnap little
Vinson. Well, bis folks were badly
scared and they rushed him up to Bar
Harbor, Maine, for . vacation, where
he now is.
Wherever this baby now goes he d
accompanied by a Pinkerton detective
armed to the teeth.
Little vinson is really only an ordi.
nary baby. The only thing in partic-
ular that is the matter with him is that
he will some day be worth, in money,
many millions of dollars.
Aren't you sorry for himf He can't
run and loll in the dirt and have fun
like other children. He must have .
big man with big pistols always with
him.
Nothing save money for the future.
Nothing save protection from being .
baby in the present. Aren't you sorry
for him?
And, really, aren't you sorry for his
rich parents?
What joy. what comfort can there
be in having baby that you must be
forever worrying about his being
stolen? The miser who worships and
sleeps with his gold must he happier
than . mother who lives in terror of
kidnappers.
Nor does babyhood alone contain all
the evil that threatens this little Ole.
The chances are largely against his
being useful, when grown up, and it is
certain tina: he will be the object of
bitter envy. if not downright hatred.
Often must the picture Of poor, old.
heartbroken Mrs. Thaw come before
the minds eye Of this bsby's mother,
for Harry Thaw was, not long ago,
just such dollhouse flower, SO choice
that he must have anything that
money could get, SO precious and COW
eted that he must be nursed by an
armed policeman and raised in some
such q thing as a steel cage, a safety
deposit vault, or a refrigerator.
Poor little Mclean baby! Guarded
and Gagged against being a real baby
and threatened with 100000, 900 that
he will not have earned! And, too,
perhaps when he is . very old man, he
will have to die and account for what
he did with all that money.
The very rich have their sorrows,
plenty of them.
Think about il! It will soften the
envy that may possibly be in your
heart.-Omaha News.

OUR WANTED CIVILIZATION.

Kansas ought to be more CIVILIZED.
This is equally true Of Others Of these
United States. And there is certainly
room for it in one particular. It con.

charges, or rather the inhuman meth.
DDS with which the parents of such
unfortunate children are treated.
Either the rules Of the existing state
home for orphans, where the children
referred to are admitted under certain
conditions, should be changed. or, if
this is not advisable, another state
institution should be established where
children with one destitute parent
living-and in such cases it is gener-
ally the mother-can he kept until
such parent gets into position to care
for her children. Then they should
be turned over to her.
Present methods of handling such
cases are little more than barbaric.
The Atchison Globe told the other day
of the terrible grief displayed by .
mother as she signed away all rights
to her children after she had secured
their admission to the orphans home.
If woman, now left in destitute cir
cumstances with family of children,

state orphans home, she is compelled
to sign away every vestige of right she
has to them. Either through mar

that fortunate she cannot get them
back. When she placed them in the
home she gave them away forever.
They are lost to her for all time. She
is not even permitted to know where
they have been adopted out.
One of the strong arguments pre-
sented against slavery in ante.bellum
days concerned the separation of the
negro children from their mothers.
But the slave mother was enabled to
keep track of her children through the
bills of sale for them. And it was
frequently the case after the slaves had
been given their freedom that the
black mothers traced their children in
this fashion and reassembled their
families again.
But the poor, the miserable mother
of today whom misfortune has frowned
upon to such an extent that she is
compelled to make her children . pub

mitted to starve to death, hasn't even

of their children if they could not be
with them. And civilization ia report.

TAFT'S PLEA TO PARTY.

The plea Of President Taft to the
republicans Of America that they for.
get their differences and unite in .
solid front in support ofthe principles
for which republicanism stands, and
in support off continuation of pro-
gressive legislation and redemption Of
the party platform of 1908, is . doc.
ument that should be given heed by
every citizen Of this country who has
the welfare Of the nation at heart.
The TAFT administration Is only half
finished. 1.-THE pledges made by the
republican platform Of 1908 are to be
carried out in full, as the people want.
ed them to be carried out when they
elected TAFT, then the president must
be given . congress that will work
with him toward the redemption of
those pledges, and not one that will
block the desired legislation and even
overthrow the protective principle
that the republican party stands for
and restore the free trade of the Cleve.
land day.
The administration has given q
downward revision of the tariff and
has provided . tariff board that will
still further outline reductions in the
schedules that need pruning. And if
the people want downward revision,
the one way in which they can get it
is to elect . republican congress that
will work with the administration.
The election of . democratic house
would either mean the overthrowing
of the protective principle or blocking
al legislation with . result of nothing
done, whatsoever.
President TAFT points to the corpora
ton tax, the improvement of the in.
terstate commerce bill 40 q to give
the government greater supervision,
the postal bank savings bill (Which
democratic Congressman Latta of the
Third Nebraska district tried to de-
feat). the conservation measure, the
statehood bill aud any number of
other important measures. The re-
cord is the greatest that has been
known for 80 short time, under any
president in our history.
On top of that, Taft's administra-
ton is saving millions of dollars in the
expenses of the government, by intro
ducing new, economical methods.
Ifthere had been democratic con.
gress, none Of the above program of
legislation, demanded by the people,
would have passed. The action of
Iatta in opposing the postal bank bill
shows how the democrats would have
tried to block every measure that
came up.
Common business judgment would
seem to dictate. therefore, that the
achievement in the next congress
depends upon its being republican,

Game.
4 ARNARD LOOKS GOOD

NEW YORK, October with one
a score or more of injuries In Satur-
days games. the experts are rapidly
reaching the opinion that the game is
as dangerous as before the revisionists
operated on the rules.
The game Saturday between Yale
and Syracuse both supposed TO repre-
sent the best of modern" football,
resulted In eight injuries. two of which
! were serious. In view a this coaches
are now asking whether II is possible
To eliminate the dangers from the
game
Up to date the followers of the
game are agreed that Harvard has
shown the best fern of any of the big
Eastern teams. Yale's showing against
Syracuse was distinct disappoint-
ment to the blue. but as Yale has a
habit OF starting of poorly and then
rounding into championship form, the
students and alumni are not yet wor-
ried. Injuries To Yale men will re-
tard the practice this week
One big advantage that Harvard
appears to have this year is her wealth
Of material, which is approached by no
other team in the country. In. her
game with Rowdoin. Harvard played
almost entirely different team from
that which defeated Rates earlier in
the week
One fact thai has been brought out
plainly in the new game is that gains
through the line are much harder.
Several times Saturday the big teams
were held when within few yards
of a touchdown. The rule ferbidding
the pulling or pushing of the player
carrying the bail WAS responsible for
; these failures to gain, This means
that more reliance viii have to be
placed in field goals. open work and
end plays
