IMPROVED TELEPHONE.

A simple way of making telephone conversations more audible has been invented by Herr Petersen, a bank manager of Nykjobing, Denmark. On the principle that sound is more readily transmitted through rarefed air he has constructed an apparatus to warm the trasmitter, whereby the air in it becomes thinner and the sound is intensified. Professor Han mover, of the Danish government telephone testing station, who has made extensive experiments with Pe- terson's apparatus, says in his report that the increase of sound obtained is remarkable. Telephone converse lions between Copenhagen and Nyk- iobing, distance of some 75 miles, could be clearly followed some dis tance away from the instrument. The inventor has applied for patents in different countries.

CITY PRIMARIES
 IN LITTLE ROCK

Little Rock, Jan. With some opposition in every ward of the city, the Democratic primaries which are being held here today for city offices, proves to be a very warm affair. It is alleged that the saloon men are endeav- orlng to get control of the city council through three candidates they have put in the field against old aldermen, and against new aspirant in one ward. The hot test fight is in the First ward where Clio Harper, a well known journalist, is endeavoring to get into the city council. His de termined stand on matters per taining to prohibition has precip- itated a strenuous fight against him, but the indications are he will pull through an easy winner. His opponents appear now to bend their energies toward mak. ing as good showing as possi- ble, and have little hope of win hing. A city clerk and a city at torney will be elected, the city attorneys office being second term there is no opposition.

A PLAIN STATEMENT
AND A PROMISE

An honest man doesn't
need laws to make him honest
or to keep him SO.
An honest corporation
doesno require laws to make
or keep it SO.
Just what constitutes an
honest man or an honest cor
poration is more or less a
matter of varying opinion,
but it is generally conceded
that man who treats his
neighbor fairly, taking no I'M
due advantage. asking no ex-
cess of profit nor misrepre-
senting the goods he has to
SELL selling the best goods
he can produce with a fair
margaln OF proht to himself
is honest.
Now a corporation is no
more and no less than a man
doing business on a large
scale; and if a corporation
can answer that definition,
then we ought to concede
that it is an honest corpora
ton. Such a corporation
doesn't need laws or coercion
to make it honest or to keep
it so. And with all due
regard to skeptics. that's the
kind of a corporation The
Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Company
tries TO be-claims to be.
1t is now giving the best
service it can produce at a
fair margin of profit, asking
no excess of interest on the
money actually invested. Git
has no bonds and no watered
stock.)
Now, without coercion
and without demand of law
it makes this promise-that
its rates shall always be as
low as possible consistent
with good service. If the
rates shall at any time pro-
duce an excess of profit they
will be reduced to such a
figure as to return only a fair
rate of interest on the money
actually invested. Keep this
In mind; it is true, and a
promise from an honest cor
poration.
Did you know that the
Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Company has
actually invested in property
$l.l5 for every $l.00 capital
on which it pays Interest,"
7 our rates pay interest on
the $l.00, not the $l.l5.

In his conservation message the
president emphasized the Importance
of the maintenance of our forests, and
urged their scientific treatment $50
that they shall be made to yield a large
return in timber without really reduc-
ing the supply" and in other messages
he pointed out the necessity Of refor-
estatfon. The department of agricul-
ture Is giving attention to these items
by protecting the national forests and
by research work in its splendidly
equipped laboratory at Madison, Wis.
Last year the fire losses were only
$700. 000-less than any year in his
tory. There are now about $4,000
miles Of trail and 10000 miles of tele-
phone lines. Protection is aided by
homesteads on the patches of land
within the forests which are more
valuable for farming than for other
purposes Since the act was passed.
less than six years ago, authorizing
the secretary to recommend that such
land be leased. over a million acres
have been leased for settlement. AS
result Of the knowledge of range
conditions furnished by studies of past
years. the fosest ranges are rising in
productiveness. and will add more beef
and mutton to the country's food sup
ply. yield more wool and hides, and
put more money into the pockets of
the stockmen than could possibly have
come about had IL not been for the de-
partment's control Of the grazing. In
the past i've years the department has
been reforesting burned-over areas at
the rate of $4,000 to 10000 acres a
-year. The department takes justifi-
able pride in its forest work, rightly
thinking that to have put under sue
eessful administration and managed
TOR the public benefit. is great
chievement.

The Star thinks that the following
would be a good solution to the con-
cealed weapon question. Repeal all
the freak and cumbersome legislation
that we now have on the subject, and
leave 1t with the citizen to decide
when and how he will carry a gun. It's
all tommyrot to say that such a
course would let down the bars and
result in every man toting a murder
QUE weapon. A revolver, IL IT is big
enough to be of any use, is a rather
inconvenient thing to carry. and the
average man doesn't want to be
bothered with one, and won't carry one
unless he has to. Require every citi-
zen who has revolver to obtain a
1fcense-not give bond-but simply
obtain a license, giving the number
and style OF the weapon. and make
that license good for .every county in
the state and good for all time. only
changing when he buys a new pistol
or trades the old one. As for the GRIM
inal classes. let them forfeit the right
TO carry arms with the right to vote
and the other privileges of citizenship.
Put q man once convicted of felony, in
regard to weapons, on the same foot
ing with man caught breaking and
entering, whether he has stolen any
thing or not. The writer can very well
remember the years just after the civil
war. when there was no law against
carrying weapons. and when. owing to
the unsettled condition of the country,
nearly every man went armed; and he
doubts not that any old-timer will
bear him out in the assertion that
there was less promiscuous and un-
necessary shooting in those days than
there Is now.
