Thomas Jefferson, whose birth.
day will be celebrated today
throughout the great republic he
helped to establish, will soon be
honored with great memorial in
New York City. The late Joseph
Pulitzer. owner of the New York
World, bequeathed $4,000 for that
purpose and it is proposed to make
this the nucleus of fund for the
erection OF fitting monument to
the great democrat in the largest
municipality of the greatest demo-
cratic nation on earth. Champ
Clark, speaker of the house of rep
resentatives, was the first to sub
scribe to the fund. 1t has not been
definitely decided as to what form
the memorial shall take, whether 4
shaft, statue or edifice devoted to
some useful purpose, City Hail
park has been suggested as suit
able site. 1t has also been suggest
ed by Mrs. Martin w. Littleton, wife
of the representative from New York
that congress appropriate money for
the purchase by the United States
government of Monticello the home
of Jefferson, located near Chariot
tesville, Va. The property is now
owned by Congressman Jefferson
Levy, of New York
While Alabama is the only state
in which Jeffeson's birthday is a
legal holiday. the observance today
will be general throughout the
United States. The principal cele-
bration will be the annual banquet
of the National Democratic Club in
New York, at which the speakers
Will include some of the leading
democrats of the United States.
Thomas Jefferson, the third presi-
dent of the United States, was born
at Shndwell, Va, April 13, 1743.
Many reference works give April 2
as his birthday. and this has been
a. source of some confusion to those
who forget that II was not until
s1752 that the Gregorian calendar,
now universal throughout America
md Europe, except in Russia,
Greece and Turkey, was adopted by
England and her colonies, replacing
the Julian calendar The change
Wis made in September of 1852 BY
making Sept. IA follow Sept 3.

less the crowds will find much that
is musing among the inventions of
unknown mechanical geniuses, but
it should be remembered that the
crank of today is often the great

. "WHERE ARE WE ATT"

The Index has no desire or In
tention of keeping up the telephone
agitation. So far as we are con
cerned, the hatchet is buried, al
least until there is provocation tC
dig it up again. But in the inte'
est of this city, we would like tc
know, in the language of a noted
statesman, Where we are at.
The telephone company stoutly
maintains that it does not need a
franchise to do business in this city;
that it can place its poles and string
its wires in the streets and alleys
without let or hindrance; that
this city has not power to enforce
it's contracts with the company OF
its assigns. If these contentious
be true, then Emmett is indeed in
a humiliating position, and steps.
should be taken to correct it.
The mayor and city council owe
it to their constituents to ascertain
at once whether the telephone com
pany's contention is true, and the
should not allow pole to be ~
moved or the streets disturbed unr
til it is settled If that company
is doing business in this city with
out franchise, in violation of Law,
the city authorities should either
it to remove its poles or
comply with the law.
If, on the other hand, the Noun
.ain States company is operating
lnder the franchises of the com
oanies it succeeded, then the COM
.racts contained in those fran
,hises should be enforced.

The road traverses John Heath 8

a pass south of the Heath place.
The grade is much easier than that

California Experts Will Plant
Twelve-acre Vineyard.

this week took an option on II
acres of the Schreeongost farm
on the east slope, which is above

ditch He will plant the IL acres
above the ditch 10 European grapes.
Mr.. Stout is an experienced grape
grower OF California. He last
year moved to the King Hill pro-
ject, bought land and set out a
vineyard Becoming dubious as to
the adaptability of that land for
grape growing, and having seen
the magnificent display from En-

over to investigate, sold his farm
and will close the deal for the

phone & Telegraph company for
cutting the long distance independ-
ent wire running into Meridian.
Second-The Meridian company
will bring suit against the Mounl-
tain States company for damages re
slblting from the cutting CT the
wire.
Third-The Meridian company in
tends going into the federal court t
test the merger made by the tele-
phone companies in Boise last
year, which the MeridiaH Ind j.
pendent Telephone company be-
lieves is in restraint of trade :
der the provisions of the Sherman
anti5trust law.
The Meridian company is an in
dependent concern owned by local
people. In a public statement the
city attorney of that town says:
Ever since the organization in
Boise OF the Mountain States
Telephone & Telegraph company,
this company has been wanting
to buy out the new Meridian In
dependent Telephone company, but
the Meridian company has not deem
ed it best under existing conditions
to sell or give up the management
of the local telephone system. There
are various reasons why, the prin-
ciple among which is that the Noun
tain States Telephone & Telegraph
company could give US no assur-
anoe OF the permanency of any reas-
sonable price for the use of their
telephones in Meridian. Another
reason is we have our local system
organized with something more
than 300 phones, which are paying
running expenses and paying off
old debts of the company. These
debts were accumulated under tn
old company's plant here.
1--WE 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 Jones in
Boise of the Mountain States com /
pany told us the Mountain States
bought the Boise Independent TelI-
phone plant, but did net buy theiI
contracts. 1--WE cannot understand
why they Should ignore our con-
tract, but we are going to know the
reason why by taking this matter
into the courts. For certain cont
which are in contract
form, we have had the benefit and
free use of the telephone oonnec-
.ion with Rloise for term of
years, which run for more than
four years more"
