SAME OLD ScARE-cRoW

Here's the same old moldy gag in
connection with the proposition for
government ownership of telegraphs
and telephones ''the people will lose
the revenue from taxation, without
compensation"
Have a dozen or so families be-
come enormously rich through
profits from this so-called public util-
ity? They have.
Do the profits exceed the taxes?
By millions.
From whom do the profits come?
From the people.
Hold on! says Mackay, millionaire
through wire monopoly, you can't
buy the telegraph and telephone
business for your $90O,OOO,OOO, as
your postmaster general says, but it
will cost you $2,000,000,000
The answer to that is that we
should do the best we can with our
little $9OO,OOO,OOO. Being at the
mercy of Mr.. Mackay's $2,O0O,00O,0OO
monopoly, perpetually, is unthink-
able. With our 900 millions we can
buy the long distance telephone and
attack telegraph tickers, at least.

A proud parent, old chap, insisted
that 1 accompany him and his 10
year-oId son to the studio of an as
trologer, in order that the lads flu
ture might be foretold by reading
of the planets. After learning the
boys birth date, the astrologer fellow
spake:
This little tad was born right I'M

the sky orbs amt handing out the
swank, he's got some future, bob,
some future. This kid is going to
horn into the history books before
he's sprouted his first wisdom tusk.

vengeful look at Delnar and scowled
darkly at Nellie.

two warm hearts, comforted and SUI

ASKING LIQUOR LICENSE
 NEAR FRANKLIN SQUARE.
Notice Appears on Location Already
 Twice Declared Unsuitable.

The recent appearance of a liquor license application on a cellar door way in the building at the corner of Main street and Ferry street and the appointment of a hearing on the ap- plication for Tuesday of this week. has led those watching the case to wonder whether the present board of county commissioners will break through the regulations established about" four years ago to grant no more licenses for the neighborhood of Franklin square.
 Sincethat ruling was made there have been two applications, both of which have been refused for a saloon in the same place as is now posted.
 The location is part of the building owned by John McWilliams and Hen " G. Peck. but the cellar part. where the license is asked for. is a part of the building in which the McNa1nara estate has some control.
 MT. McwiIiizms said Sunday night that he did not want the license issued there and Indicated that he would op- pose 1t. The former commissioners have ruled that the place was unsu:t able.
