Combination is the general trend
of telephone companies; the old dis
position to fight one another TO the
death is gone; the Bell and INDIE
pendents are connecting their sys-
TENS for the good of the public in
thousands of towns and cities all
over the country: This was the
gist of the message left by Mr.. J. l..
Putnam of South Bend, representa-
tive of the Bell Telephone Company,
in Plymouth Monday, in an inter
view with the Republican.
Mr.. Putnam does not desire two
systems for a city the size of Plym-
outh. He does desire. however,
connections with the Winona COM
pany so that he may reach the many
people in Plvmouth who are really
In need of the Bell lines for their
business transactions. He states that
the Bell is not trying to swallow up
the Winona company. Neiher do
they care for franchise if they can
get what they believe to be a Just
agreement to care for their tolls.
The standard agreement Mr. Put
nam says, which the Bell company
makes and has in force with thou
sands OF companies throughout the
country. is as follows: They pay %
per cent commission on all original
mo business of the Central Union
Telephone company, and 10 per cent
commission on all business handled
of the American Telephone & Tele-
graph company. On the Central IN
ior business the commission shall
not be less than two cents per paid
minute on any message. The usual
time limit being three minutes, the
commission is never less than six
cents on each message. On the
American Telephone and Telegraph
business (which is all business on
distances of 100 miles and over) this
cor,nissicn is never to exceed ID
cents on any message. This COM
mission. Mr.. Putnam saws. is exactly
what the Bell company now gets
from the American; they would be
simply transferring their commits
sion in its entirety over to the home
COMPANY
As to the expense of putting in a
new switch board by the Winona
COMPANY. this is only in the direc-
tion of necessary improvement and
DEVELOPMENT. sal Nr. Putnam. and
Mr.. Tomlinson should not consider
that rs part of the expense Of ear
ing for the tolls. Tt will ee only a
question of time when he would have
to put IN another board anyway.

WHY WOMEN SHOULD VOTE.
Reasons For Female Suffrage Elk
pressed By Jane Adams in
Recent Address.

Much of the new demand for po-
lit.cal REIMBURSEMENT arises from a
passionate desire to reform the un-
satisfactory and degrading social
conditions which are responsible for
SC mich wrong doing. The fate of
all the unfortunate, the suffering,
the criminal. are daily forced upon
woman's attention in painful and
intimate ways.
"It is inevitable that humani-
tartan women should wish to vote
concerning all the regulations of
public charities which have to do

and the Juvenile Courts, pensions f.
mothers in Distress. care of the
aged poor, care of the homeless, con-
diti"ns of iails and penitentiaries.
gradual elimination of the social
evil. extended care Of young girls,
suppression of gambling, regulation
of billboard advertising and other
things. Perhaps the women who
lead the domestic life is more in
need of the franchise than any
other.
Zone could easily name the reenla
tions of the State that define her
status in the community. Among
them are laws regulating marriage
AMI divorce laws defining the leeiti-
macy Of children. laws defining mar
ried women's property rights, ex-
emption and homestead laws which
protect her when her husband is
bankrupt. Then there are the laws
reenlatino her functions as mother
to her children. Those laws l have
mentioned defining her status and
facilitating the functions of the
domestic woman are the most OBJ
vious Ones"

Cemetery Waiting Room.

Work on the new waiting room
at Oak Hill cemetery is nearing
completion. This room will be a
great convenience to those who have
to wait. especially in bad weather.
Oak Hill has always been kept, but
has lacked a place where people
could be comfortable while waiting,
and the necessity of such room
has been felt fn- years. The coun-
ell is now providing room that
will hold about fifty people, and
there viii be toilet rooms for both
ladies and gentlemen. 1t is the
design to pipe the city water to this
building and also to place several

move in the right direction. and

Why Leaves Fade.

The primary cause of the witber-

ANT IN BIG DAMAGE SUIT FOR

According to the report of the ac-
cident an electric car was coming
toward the city on the night of the

Washington, March 16.-Prelimin-

New York and Boston slcw large
increases in Individual deposits.
New York's gain over the January
call is $130,0O0,0O0, but that is quite
an artificial figure as the January call,
which came on half holiday, showed
a decrease of sl5S,0O0,00o. 1t was
said to be the first time in the history
of the national bank system that sucn
a thing aad occurred and treasury Of
ficials were at first puzzled at the
cause.
Allowing for that, however, the sit
uation still leaves the New York
banks $2S,00O,000 behind in their in
dividual deposits when compared with
the sums they reported TO the comp
troller last November.
Boston shows an increase of S1S,-
