Efficiency Increased,
Waste Prevented

The proposed arrangement between
the Western Union, the Anglo Amer
lean and the Direct U. S. companies
will bring the eight cables OF the three
companies under one opcr ating con-
troll. The consequent incre sc in
effectiveness and economy will place
the Western Union in a position to
offer certain advantages in cable
service not now enjoyed by the public.
The other way open to enable
the Western Union to make such i'm
provements and introduce such new
services as it proposes to do, would
be to lay new cables. This would
seem to be the height Of folly
Duplication OF the existing trans
Atlantic cable facilities at a cost Of
many millions, when there are more
than ample facilities for all business.
would put an unnecessary financial
burden upon an already fully burdened
business and would probably postpone
the reduction Of rates or introduction
of new Scrviccs

HEAVY CROP OF PINENUTS

They report a good crop this sea-

per pound for the first Ia.
A number of white boy have
made trips to the hills and have

Efficient Service Requires
Sufficient Facilities

To meet these requirements 1t Is
essential not only that there be at all
times sufficient cable facilities, under
one control, but that they should be
operated INTERCHANGEABLE with each
other and in close physical connec-
ton with land lines as one system.
Ample spare facilities are necessary
to provide against the very frequent
cable in erruptions.
Neither tn. Western Union nor any
one Of the companies of the Western
Union group has. indie pendently of the
others, facilities enough to handle
the business which at times any one
company might be called upon to take
care OF, because of some particular
rush Of business, or because of some
cable interruption. Nor could any one
company furnish all the direct circuits
necessary for efficient service, al
though the combined facilities of
these companies are ample If they
could be used supplementary to each
other nd interch. nge ably.
As it is. each company operates it's
own cables through separate and dis
tinct o!"c.s and under separate and
distinct management. All interchange
of business is by actual transfer Of the
business from one company to the
other, with the consequent delay and
Interruption OF a service in which
accC nds are valuable.

BAIlEYS RETIREMENT

Senator BsiIey's announcement
that he will not be a candidate for
reelection at the end of his
present term does not constitute
the sole basis for expecting the
senator's absence from Washington
after March 3, 1919. Mr.. Bailey
could not be reelected if he would,
such has been his steadily mount
ing unpopularitv among the people
Of Texas. The democratic victory
of a year, the democratic record
IN the last session of congress and
the democratic hopes of next year
have all combined to make
Senator Bailey's position unten
able. 1t may be pardonable in the
member Of minority party to
kick over party principles and the
party tracer. A touch of madness
is aways permissible in people who
are in a minority, and besides
there is no harm done. But with
the democrats once more come into
their own. recreancy of the Bailey
type becomes a very real source of
embarrassment. The democratic
party can not afford to have it
said that one of the most conspi-
cuou E survivals of "Adrichism" to
be found within their own ranks.
Mr.. Bailey entered the United
States senate at the early age of
38. He will leave at so. what we
consider in politics still a young
man. His passing is significant of

Monopoly of Cable
Business impossible

There is no cable monopoly pos
sible. The three systems-the
Western Union, the French and the
Mackay-will continue to exist.
The Mackay Companies is a hold
ing organization with no physical
property, but exercising through stock
ownership, lease or contract, operat-
ing control Of various companies
owning land lines and cables which
make upthe Mackay System. Through
this control all the various properties
are operated as one system to great
advantage in service over what could
be given by these same companies
II operated separately.
The French cables form another
system.
The Western Union System, under
the proposed arrangement for one
operating control over the present
segregated units, will be enabled to
make two distinct advances in the
trans Atlantic cable business:
LETTER SERVICE. This will be
insured by more efficient and econom-
icsl working resulting from single
direction over the operations Of both
cables and land lines.

greater part Of the cable capacity has
been and Ia now unutilized. II will
continue to lie dormant and unutilized

tons. The Western Union purposes
to make these wasted facilities useful
to the public by means Of new kinds
Of cable service.
In addition, the Western Union in
tends to nationalize its land lines by
opening them to all trans Atlantic

KILLED HIS ASSA|.ANT

A Hawth orne dispatch Of the
l4th gives the following par
ticulars of a shooting hcrape at
Aurora.
William Richards. q saloon man
and barber of Aurora. the Old
time mining camp in tho northern
end of the county, killed Kirk
Steve yesterday morning Mt
o'clock.
u Steve was an old timer Of this

and Aurora through their various
vicissitudes. His occupation was
that Of prosp ector and he was
known as Bodie Steve.
Richards is the proprietor of a
saloon and he had an old grudgG
against Steve, whom %e had
repeatedly warned to keep away
from his place.
Yesterday Steve got drunk in q
new resort and then sailed forth
to the saloon of his old enemy. He
carried large and ugly looking
knife and was advised by sc We. al
customers not to start anything.
Richards asked Steve to give
him the knife, but steve said:
II will give 1t to you in the neck"
Then came fusilade from
Richards gun and one of the shots
became effective in the body of the
prospector, just above the kidneys.
Steve died in few minute.
Aurora Is a small camp and has
no arreSting officer. At last &C.
count Richards has not been placed
in custody, but is awaiting the
arrival of the district attorney
from Hawthorne. He will get
there this afternoon.
Richards has lived in Aurora
for the past three years. He
formerly resided at Dayton and

Company, under which the cable sys-
TENS of these companies now worked
exclusively in business connection

maintained separately, will be oper-
ated in direct physical connection

As at present carried on, the trans
Atlantic cable business is practically

Owing to the difference in time, there
are only a few business hours of the
day common to both sides and during
these hours at least 75% Of the cable
business is done. This is demon

In the interests Of international
