BRETHREN DISAGREE

One of the funniest things in
politics is the sudden breaking
out of hostilities between Editor
Carter of the Arcadia Enterprise,
and Editor Goolsby Of the Wau-
chula Advocate. Both of them
had been "whooping up things"
for Stockton, paving up the pave
ments with a prodigious roaring
and standing side by side in the
battle, when, 10 and behold out
comes Wauchula with a registra-
ton of 865 and Arcadia with only
$50, whereat Carter smells mon
strous mouse, one as big as an ele-
plant, and he breaks away from
Goolsby and gives utterance to
immense indignation.
Carter's surprise and disgust at
the difference in the figures caus-
es him to forget the idea that
Waushula had registered 865 vot-
ers to help elect Stockton, and the
mouse appeared to him as a hor-
rible goblin invoked to carry
county division. So, if by any
means he succeeds in reducing
Wauchula's threatened vote fol-
county division, he will by the
same means, curtail Stockton I
vote. This puts him in a funny
Dilemma.
Meantime Max Ref of Fort
Meade, has made a disturbances
about Wauchula s registration BY
intimating, if not directly charg'
ing, that the list was packed In
Stockton's interest. So, it ap-
pears that Max, who is a Fletcher
advocate, is cooperating with
Carter, a Stocktonite, in an effort
to restrain Wauchula from out
voting Arcadia.
When Carter reproaches Wau.
chula with having registered BOO
more voters than Arcadia, Gools-
by endeavors to console him with
the statement that the Arcadia
list is likely to grow as large as
Wauchula's as soon as the Area
dia registration officer has an op.
portunity to take his books out

TOO MUCH ERUDITION

i Our versatile and truly es-
teemed friend of the Tampa Times
lis suffering from a prolonged at
i tack of acute erudition. He has
| read and he remembers so much
that no error in journalism or
newspaper logic, photography or
rhetoric, history, science or poll
tics, escapes his scrutiny and pa
ternal correction.
Several times of late he has
chided THE HERALD on it's ig-
norance, imbecility and other high
crimes and misdemeanors until we
have been so abashed as not to
undertake either a reply, a re-
monstrance or an apology. His
latest apprehension, however,
which was administered on the
7th, arouses us to attempt a re-
joinder, because he charges this
writer not only with the offense
of being lonesome" but with
having Fan excessive fondness
for being in opposition" As to
this charge of opposition, we
might remark that it is not this
but the "other eleven blamed
fools" who have not yet agreed
and never will agree. We are
perfectly harmonious and also u
unanimous in this print-shop.
All this is about the PROPOSE
ton to abolish the office of coun-
ty treasurer. THE HERALD adj
vised and still advises that it
would be wiser to retain that Of
fee and that, to serve the ends of
public economy as aimed at, the
offices of assessor and collector be
consolidated and only one COM
mission Tor salary be paid. The
Times objects that, under the
present fee system, the holder of
the consolidated office would get
double pay. Of course; but it is
proposed to abolish the fee sys-
TEN; and, further, the amend
ment consolidating the two Offices
should prescribe salary instead
of fees. 1t would be as easy to
adopt this amendment as the one
abolishing the treasurer's office,
and its adoption would serve the
same purpose.
The Times persists in the idea
OF substituting bank as de facto
treasurer, and right here is where
suspicious of graft would arise
The county commissioners would
have to decide which bank should
be the custodian of the public
funds; and, no matter which bank
they might designate, there would
be sundry citizens who would in
innate that the vote of one or
more OF the commissioners was
influenced by personal obligations
to the bank. We suppose that
some county commissioners occas-
lonauy borrow money from banks
and, il the loans are made easy,
some practical appreciation might
be shown.
This species of graft evident
ly escaped the omniscient pre-
ception of the Times editor when
The pronounced as fantastic"
"the notion that, if the Office Of
county treasurer is abolished
land a bank substituted), it will
arouse suspicious of graft against

In no line of human endeayor mas me Ill
vtntive brain of the scientist contributed moro
to the worlds progress than by the creation
Of the art OF telephony, Of which the bell
system is the embodiment.
When the telephone was born, nothing an
a|Ogous to Telephone service as we now know
it existed. There was no tradition to guide, no
experience TO follow. ,.!..,.
'rhe system. the apparatus. the miethods-an
entire new art had to be created. The art OIL
electrical engineering did not exist: The Bell
pioneers, recognizing that success depended
e. upon the highest. engineering AND technical
skill at once organized an experimental and re-
search department which is now directed ny
q staff Of over $50: engineers and scientists, in
Guiding former professors, post graduate stu
dents, scientific investiga,ors-the, graduates
Of over 70 universities.
From its foundation the company las con-
t~inuously developed the art. New improve
meuts in telephones, switchb0arls, lines,
= cables, have followed one another with remark
able rapidity. .... ,,.,,
While each successive type of apparatus to
the superficial observer suggested similarity,

Improvement. These changes, this evolution,
has not only been continuous, but is continu-
ing. Substantially all Of the plant how in use,
including telephones, switchboards,! cables and
wires, has been constructed, renewed or re-
constructed in the past 10 years. vi.
Particularly in switclbOards have the
changes been SO radical that installations cost
ing in the aggregate millions have frequently
been discarded after only q few years of use.
Since 1877 there have been introduced %
types and styles of receivers and q types and
styles of transmitters. Of the 12,000,OO0 tele,
prone receivers and transmltters owned by the
Bell Company January 1, 1914, none were in
use prior to 1902, while the average age is less
than five years. 3..s ..
Within 10 years we have expended for con-
~struction and reconstruction an amount more
than equal to the present book value Of our

Long-distance and underground transmits
sion was the most formidable scientific prob
lem confronting the telephone experts.
The retarding effect of the earth on the telc'
phone current often impaired conversation
through one mile underground as much as
through 100 miles overhead. Overhead con-
v~ersation had its distinct limitations.
No possible improvement in the telephone
transmitter could of itself solve these difhcul'
ties.
The solution was only found in the cumula-
tive effect of improvements, great and small,
in telephone, transmitter, line, cable. switch.
board, and every; other piece Of apparatus or
plant required in the transmission of speech.
While the limit of commercial overhead
talking had increased from strictly local to
over 1000 miles us early as 1893, it was not
until 1905 that conversation could be had over
