SAME Old STORY
Consolidation Of Bell and Independent
Telephone Com panies at Council
Bluffs Is Signal for Renewal Of Old
Warfare-Attempt Made to Collect
Royalty From Bell Company.

Special 10 Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, March THE con-
soidation of the Bell and Independent
Telephone Companies, of Council
Bluffs. has been the signal for re-
neWal of an attempt TO collect 8 royal
y from the Bell company. For reasons
that were not explained 1t is stated that
the Bell company Will operate the
Council Bluffs exchange under the
franchise granted to the independent
company. This franchise, provides,
among other things, that royalty
must be paid TO the city. The royalty,
however, Is suspended as long as the
Nebraska company continues to oper-
ate an exchange in the city in compe-
tlIon with the independent exchange.
Another provision in the franchise ex-
pressly states that the successor of the
independent company shall be liable
for royalties and City Solicitor kimball
believes that the, successful company
is also liable for the use of the streets
Members of the council state that they
viii begin action soon looking TO the
enforcement Of the franchise and to the
collection OF royalties. The franchise is
farHed much as is the franchise under
which The Citizens Gas Company OPP
crates and from which a royalty of 8
per cent is collected by the city.

Having thus considered the poetry
OF edward Rowland Sill as a thing
in itself. We may ask ourselves: What
Is the relative Importance of Sill's
work as a contribution to American
literature? Is he to be rated as one
OF the greatest American poets, and
# not, why not? If. as We nave seen.
his work is vital in substance and
artistic in form. wherein does he fail
short of a place in the front rank
of American bards? In connection
with these questions. there are several
things to be remembered about Sill.
In the first place. the bulk of his
work was exceedingly slender, all that
he has preserved being contained in
three 16nfO. volumes Of about one
pages each: in the second
place. as has been indicated indi-
reetly in the foregoing discussion Sill
is subjective and interpretive. and
the world at large loves a narrative
poet; IN the third place. as we have
seen. Sill deals in subtilties. whereas
the average reader of verse demands
the simple, n straightforward. the
direct: in the fourth place-this also
/ pointed Out-Sill is prone to use in
trIcate EerSe-fornS. while the RHYMES
and metres which sing themselves into
the hearts of the mu1titudes are al
most always simple: and. finally. SilFs
range iS rather narrow, practically all
OF his poetry dealing with the relation
in the StrlcteSt sense, of mar and ma
ture to things spiritual and ethical.
None OF these facts, of course. with the
possible exception of the first and last
named. necessarily exclude Sill from
the front rank IN true greatness but
all indicate the uniikeiihood of mis-
ever becoming popular in the sense in
