treasury OF our company, for every
share they hold, and they have
simply come into our company be-
cause they believed it to be a safe
investment.
There Is. too, upon the part of
the public, a belief that the COM
pany is largely engaged in politics.
We imagine this feeling is caused
by the fact that in the past, simply
from the standpoint of self-preser-
walton, certain corporations were
almost compelled to be in politics;
but in these days when the tenden-
cy is to place all corporations and
trust affairs into the hands of a
central body. such as the Interstate
Commerce Commissions and local
state commissions, etc, to deal with
the conduct of businesses such as
ours. being in politics. as believed
by the public. would be a foolish
thing and entirely Unnecessary. This
is, therefore, to state emphatically
that we are not, either directly or
indirectly, in politics. in any way.
shape or manner. and shall not be.
We are going to attempt to give
you the entire story as to our
rates, We have been told, when
stating to- some of the public that
like this, that our efforts would
be futile; that our subscribers
would turn out to be selfish and
only look toward the end of get
ting as cheap telephons rates as
possible. We do not believe this
We believe that the great majority
of the public are inclined to be
fair, and that 1t is not SO much
the question of what our tele-
phone rates are as it is that when
We make statement regarding
them. and show our true financing,
that We shall be honest. and that
the public shall know that we are
not trying to deceive them or keep
anything back that should be
shown. When We honestly do this
and our position seems to be just
and right. we believe that the fair
ness of the public will sustain US.
We are going to set forth the
inherent difficulties of giving I'M
iversal telephone service. These
articles and letters are not to be
piece of special pleading or adrOit
use of words, but a clear, business
like setting forth of facts. We hope.
before we get through, both our
selves and the public will under
stand each other better. There Is
at least no harm to be done in try
ing to accomplish this desired re-
suit.
1t Is our aim to educate, please
and satisfy the public and to be
educated ourselves. 1t semes to
us that every corporation has the
right OF self defense. the same as
an individual. The public has the
same right. Listen to our defense
and we will listen to yours. No
problem has ever been harder for
us than just how we were going to
let the public know truly about us.
but we believe that no problem was
ever more important to both. If
We really can make you feel that
you are a partner in our bust
ness, we shall have accomplishe
much. A large part of the prob

HAWAILANS BECOMING
EXPERTS AT TENNIS


New York, May 10.-From the far-off
Islands Of Hawaii comes a story of the
hold which tennis has upon the popu-
lation there, and which illustrates what
a widespread popularity the game is ac-
quiring throughout the world.
Cedric A. Major, of Brooklyn. left that
city recently for distant parts, and II
now in Hawaii According to his de-
scriptions of the situation there. sent to
friends in this city, tennis is Ear and
away the most popular sport
Every large home of an American or
English resident there is provided With
tennis court, and most of them are
very carefully constructed. The follow
ers of the game are not confined to the
Anglo-SaXon population. Native Ha-
waiians are enthusiastic over IL. and are
said TO be developing some fine players.
They are splendid athletic material. as
was demonstrated by the work Of Duke
Kahanamoku in swimming competitions
last season.
Major writes that he thinks Hawaii
will be able to put a team in the field
in a few years which viii compare ia
vorably with the playing strength pos
sessed by some of the contenders in the
Davis cup matches this year. Major
was better known in this city as track
performer than tennis player. He ran
for Boys High School and Cornell Uni
versty.
Like most college graduates, he has
found tennis a more practicable game
since his graduation from Ithaca. He
is steadily improving his court game.
and last year won the Lake George
championship.

All arrangements have been completed
to handle the large crowd that usually

lowing. there will be several hundred or
phans on hand.
The orphans look forward to this game
with great deal of enthusiasm, as it
is considered by all of them as one of
the big events of the sea son. The win
ners of this game will be presented with
a handsome trophy donated by the
A ]. Reach Company. of Philadelphia,
through the G. II. White Company.
Judging from the returns already made
for the tickets, which have been out for
several weeks, one of the largest crowds
that has ever witnessed the contest will
be on nand.
