Manager Mumaw Contemplates Con.

All Harbor Phones Together

With the occupancy of the new
telephone building. about October l,
I'll numbers in the system will be

has in mind a change in the style OF
convenience to parties having occa.
sion to use the Aberdeen-Hoquiam
line,
AS the book is now arranged. an
Aberdeen patron desiring to talk to
4 Hoquiam party must call central
and ask to he connected with Ho-
"Niam. and when connected call for
the desired number in that city. The
new arrangement would place all the
names in that city. The new arrange
Ment would place all the names in
Aberdeen. Hoquiam and CosmopOlis
together alphabetically. instead Of in
different sections of the book as now
using the name of the town as a
prefix 70 the number Thus. in call
ing a number in HoGuiam an Aber-
deem party would say. Hoquiam
4675' and would be Immediately con-
nected with his party.
Manager Mumaw desires to have
the patrons of the company pleased
and before making the change will
be pleased to hear expressions for
or against it. From the standpoint
of convenience and speed of com
munication-Which are the chief OBJ
jects of telephone service-the Her
aid is unable to find any objection
to the change.

PORTLAND, Me-. Aug. 27.-Gov.
Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana, op-
ened his campaign last night with a
speech devoted in greater part to the
tariff. In summing up his conclu-
sions, the speaker asked:
why must the consumer always
be the goat? | believe in vested
rights, but | don't believe in vested
wrongs. | don't particularly censure
the manufacturers for getting all
they can. but contend that the proof
of the iniquity is SO plain that the
blame is the peoples.
In part. Gov. Marshall said
1t is idle for some men to make
declarations. Broken promises are Of
times more eloquent than their
words.
who is going to believe The reg
u!ar Republican organization when it
declares to be opposed to special priv
ilepe? Who takes it seriously when
II points with pride to its enactments
to cnrtaii monopoly?
Does anyone doubt that for seven
and one-hali years the leader OF the
Progressive party was in power in
this country? Can anyone put his
finger on a single effort made by him
10 curb the mOnOpOlistic tendency
which was then rampant? Does any
one believe that his new platform,
which stands both for Socialism and
for system of licensing and curb
ing, is anything more than 2 bid for
votes?
Il have lived long enough to fol-
low the charging cXouses Gdra..,ed
for the high protective tariff. ! have
found them all to be shifty, uncertain
and dishonorable. First it was TO
pay oil the war debt by compelling
the foreign manufacturer to contrib
ute TO the United States treasury;
then it was to foster infant indus
tries; then to protect American la
Dor against the pauper labor of fu-
rope. and finally, in the las, CAM
Daign. to eura,ze the cost OF pro
duotion at home and abroad. AT last
tae frank statement was made that
the government proposed 10 take its
manufactures INTO partnership With
it, and that this partnership was pro
posing to sell to the consumers of
this country an the necessities Of
life except those grown on the farms,
not for the benefit of the govern
ment. but for the benefit OF the man
! ufaCturer.
Il myself have never been able 20
determine what system of business
or ethics should induce a government
to form a partnership with the man
who made the cloth that is in my
coat, while totally refusing to form
partnership with me, who buys the
coat and wears it. 1t is not the busi-
ness of government to form part
nership with anyone unless it forms
partnership with all"
