DoNAcHEY's STAND.

Simultaneously with an announce ment of his candidacy for the United States senate, Governor Donaghey yesterday in the Little Rock Gazette utters triade against Hot Springs and the Arkansas State Fair. which might not be dignlfled with recogni- ton except for one point
 Donaghey says he will campaign in the state legislature against an ap. propriation for the fair. His cam paign will be met and overcome at the proper time, just as his recent campaign was met and overcome.
 Donaghey says he will campaign before the legislature for the taking over of Hot Springs by the federal government, for federal control. and will also campaign in the United States senate for such legislation fl he is elected senator
 
 Al last we find good in much oi evil We believe Hot Springs should be under federal control. We would welcome federal control We have long advocated federal control. Fed erai control would mean that Hot Springs would no longer be used as q foot ball for selfish politicians cf the Douaghey stripe

TWO BIG FEATURES.


 Two big features of entertainment for our hosts in the spring are be- ing arranged now. and as soon as the details of these are settled they should be advertised widely in all the advertising work done in the cities of the north in December, Jan uary and February
 One of these big features is the proposed ante-season series of ball games between Pittsburg, of the Ma tional League, and Boston of the American league. the latter tho worlds champions.
 Base ball fans, hungry TOT the game. with the first touch of spring, would not choose long between Hot Springs and some other southern resort ii they knew they could witness while here a series of bail games between two of the strongest teams in the game.
 If series of seven or nine games is settled between these team man agements, to be played on certain dates of the spring training season, the series could thus be turned to great profit for this national resort.
 There is also a partially completed contract on for the automobile rae CTS to open their 1913 season in Hot Springs on the Oaklawn course. When the racers start out on their work this early in the year they start with new machines The fastest cars that human ingenuity can build are given their first tests.
 At that time the drivers have hac winters rest and they are eager for the game No doubt many drivers would bring their newly constructed racing cars to the Oaklawn course 10 compete for prizes, and the event would most likely result in records for a circular track that would re. main in auto history.
 Entertainment features like these are big things for a resort because they open inducement to patronage The resorter doesn't merely expect 10 go to resort and sit quietly through the early spring. Tme city that gets the most of this patronage will be the city that offers the most for It.
 Hot Springs has first of all tho thermal waters. Then there arc the roads over and about the noun tains. The scenery is inviting ant the air exhiIarating The golf cours, is one of the finest in tihe country And with our social events in tn, hotels, the dancers and other enter, tainment furnished there, our splen did sufficient theatrical offerings, an, base ball and auto races at the sea sons height, what resort could hop, 10 offer more.

There were 1877 votes cast at the
school bond election Wednesday.
There were 11S votes for the bonds
and 70 against. and thus lacked IA
votes to have the necessary two
thirds majority. There should
have bean an unanimous vote for
the proposition, but as many we're
misinformed as to what the district
trustees wanted, they voted against
it with the idea that it was only
plan to increase taxes. 1t is
admitted by the board that not
sufficient time was given to ed.
ucate the people to the need and
Importance of increasing the
school capacity at this time. One
of the best arguments in support
Of the plan was this: The out
side districts in the rural high
school are not satisfied with the
accommodations in Meridian. and
it was necessary to do something
to encourage thom to stay in and
pull together for an up-to-date
high school.
Meridian does not want to lose
the rural school, as it is not only
a help in making the school what
it should be, but adds about $500
of state money to our credit each
year. This would pay the in.
terest on the bonds, and in reality
the taxes would not be increased
cent if wehad voted the $4,000
bond issue if we thereby retained
the rural high school.
The proposition voted on
Wednesday was as follows:
Shall the Board of Trustees of Mer-
idian Independent School District No.
33, in Ada County, Idaho, be author.
ICED to issue the negotiable coupon
bonds of the district in the amount of
100000 bearing interest at the rate
of 3 per centum per annurn; said
bonds to bear date the 18th day of Feb

Bryan Was Here!

Many were in Boise Wednesday
to see the peerless leader W. j.
Bryan. He made three addresses
during the day, and the crowds
were enormous. Bryan has lost
none of his old-time eloquence
and power. He is the biggest
man in the United States to-day,
and as someone has said, too great
a man and not enough of a pol
itician to ever be elected pres,
ident.' Bryan left Boise at 4
o'clock and when passing Mer-
idian, the train was stopped long
enough for him to shake hands
with several who were at the de-
pot. s. M. Burns, one of our
leading democrats, shook Bryan
by the hand and asked him to stay
longer the next time he came this
way. Il will do So" said Mr..
Bryan. With a friendly smile
and wave of his hand to the
crowd, he went back into the
car, as the train moved~out.

conditions to sell or give up the
ma nagement of the local telephone

conditions to sell or give up the
ma nagement of the local telephone
system. There are various reasons
why, the principle among which is
that the Mountain States Tel
ephone & Telegraph company
could give us no assurance of the
permanency of any reasonable
price for the use of their telephone
in Meridian. Another reason is
we have our local system organ
lied with something more than
300 phones, which are paying
running expenses and paying off
old debts of the company. These
debts were accumulated under the
old company's plant here.
I'VE think the cutting of our
system off the Boise long distance
exchange is clearly in restraint of
trade, in view of the fact that we
have a contract that runs four
years longer. Mr.. Jennings of
Salt Lake and Manager Jores in
Boise of the Mountain States
company told US the Mountain
States company bought the Boise
Independent Telephone plant, but
did not buy their contracts.
1--WE cannot understand why
they should ignore our contract,
but we are going to know the
reason why by taking this matter
into the courts.
For certain considerations
which are in outract form, we
have had the benefit and free use
of the telephone connection with
Boise for a term of years, which
run for more than 4 years more"

VICE III DOlSe over IuS IHu6pSn-
dent line, as Tuesday Manager
Jones ordered the line to be con-
nected up again, and the service
isnow regular. How long this will
be continued is not stated, but it
is hoped that permanent arrange
ment can be made.
The threat of going into court
may have had a bearing on the
action of the company in resum-
ing service. The Capital News
correspondent on Monday had the
following comment:
"Is the Mountain States Tel
ephone & Telegraph company
guilty of operating in Idaho in
restraint of trade, in violation of
the Sherman antitrust law? This
question is to be taken into the
federal court, it is said, by the
Meridian Independent Telephone
company. There is bitter warfare
on between the Mountain States
Telephone & Telegraph company
and the Meridian Independent
Telephone company, because the
former company cut from its
switchboard in Boise the long dis
tance wire over which the patrons
of the Meridian Independent Tel
ephone company had telephone
communication with Boise.
The Meridian Independent Tel
ephone company for certain con-
sideration, in contract form, had
the benefit and free use of the tel
ephone connection with Boise for
a term of years, which is said to
run for more than four y ears more.
This contract was entered into
with the Boise Independent Tel
ephone Company, which last year
it is remembered was merged with
the Rocky Mountain Bell Tel
ephone company into the present
Mountain States Telephone &
Telegraph company In this
merger it was sought to include
the Meridian Independent Tel
ephone company, but this was
not accomplished. Overtures
have since been made for the pur-
chase of the Meridian Independ-
ent company which steadfastly
has refused to sell.
Now that the independent long
distance wire betw cen Meridian
and Boise has been cut, which
was done several days ago, the
Meridian Independent Telephone
company will bring legal action,
it is claimed in the courts on three
counts as follows:
First-The Meridian company
will seek to get out an INDUCTION
against the Mountain States Tel
ephone & Telegraph company for
cutting the long distance Inde-
pendent wire running into Mer-
idian.
r Second-The Meridian company
will bring suit against the Noun
tain States company for damages
resulting from the cutting of the
wire.
Third-The Meridian company
intends going into the federal
court to test the merger made by
the telephone companies in Boise
last year, which the Meridian In
dependent Telephone company
believes is in restraint of trade
under the the provisions of the
Sherman thrust law
Immediately following the mer-
ger last year in Boise of the Rocky
Mountain Bell and Independent
Telephone companies, the present
Meridian Independent Telephone
company was organized.
