UNFINISHED WORK OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

UNFINISHED WORK OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
What That Unfinished Work is May be Discerned
From The Party's Platforms.
The Republican party has never lost battle whenever
b ao mora issue ana 1nsweryngy stuck to it, Many of
Ce younger emte OF the great Republican party not
conVersant with the glorious victories won by the party in
Its early days when was far faithful to the black
man. an IN these present times When gets back to first
principles and determines, sink SWIM live or die it will
steadtasty ceave the principles which gave it birth
wl again triumph most goriousy Whenever the direct ap-
peal made to the of honest men there can be
no doubt as to the final result
In 1872 when the National Republican Convention aso,
oed N the city Of Philadelphia forth its faith so
cleary ana orayey as to send the thrill of enthusiasm
through every nook and this great country Among
other things, it declared in its platform:
During eleven years Of supremacy it the Repubr-
can party has accepted, with grand courage the
soemn n duties OF the times. 1t suppressed gigantic
rebellion emanc pated four million of slaves decreed
the equal CITIZENSHIP Of all and established universal
suffrage: Exhibiting unparalleled magnanmitv #
5 crmnaly punished 10 man n FOR political offences
ana warmly welcomed all who proved their LOYALTY
Dy o6eymg the laws and dealing justly with their
neighbors".
Such was the pristine virtue and vigorous courage of the
party But continuing the platform further declares
The recent amendments to the national constitu-
ton should be cordially sustained BECAUSE THEY ARE
RIGHT, not merely tolerated because they are law
and should be carried according to their snrt h
appropriate Legislation, the enforcement of which
can safely be inrusted only the party that secur
ed those amendments. Complete liberty and exact
equality in the enjoyment eff all civil, POLITICAL and
public rights should be established and effectuaiiv
maintained throughout the Union by efficient and al
proprlate state and federal legislation Neither the
law orits administration should admit any discrim-
nation IN respect to citizens by Of race creed
color or previous condition of servitude'
Four years later when the Republican party assembled in
National Convention in Cincinnati. further declared
The Republican party has preserved these

TAB on THE PHONE
Meter Tells Exactly How Long
One Has Talked.
Sweet Conversation of Lovers, and
Nelghborhood Gossip, Alike viii
Be Measured by Continuance
Claimed to Be Perfected.

Hereafter you will have no show
with the telephone operator when dis
putting as to whether you talked over
your allotted time. and must pay ex-
ira. for they have geared meter to
the phone SO that the time is clearly
indicated. The costly whimsicalities
of the taxicab meter at once come to
mind. suggesting that new sore trial
is to be added to the operation of
the telephone. All service in this time
of efficiency and exactitude tends to
be metered. The gas and electric me-
ters we know; the water meter some
oppose frantically. but vainly; the
meter In the taxicab drives US mad
as 1t ticks off the miles, and now we
are even to talk by meter!
Increased efficiency has come to be
pretty much the secret Of increased
subscribers lists, increased revenue
and increased cordially in the business
OF telephony generally Nowhere along
the line, however. has the cordially
been more often or more sorely
strained than through inefficient, In
adequate or careless timing of toll
calls.
Particularly is this true. declares
Telephony, in smaller Offices, where
the elaborate and necessarily expen-
Jve apparatus for timing calls has
seen too costly for installation, and
dependence has been placed upon or
ilnary clocks. which are, of course,
as unsatisfactory to the company
itself as to the telephone-toll user.
The 'phone-meter, 1t is claimed. has
completely solved this small Office
timing problem, and In larger offices
1t is already proving of great value
in timing the handling of calls on the
observation desks.
As shown In the accompanying illus
tration, the 'phone-meter registers up
TO six minutes In one revolution OF
the dial. and II continues until stopped.
When a connection Is made the opera
ing TO the right the lever at the top.
Moving 1t In the reverse direction
stops the Indicator instantly, showing
the exact time which has elapsed In
minutes and seconds. The dial Is grad
uated to seconds. and the device, 1t Is
said, Is maryelously accurate.
The 'phone-meter Is placed upon tho
keyboard within convenient reach OF
the operator. II while the converse
ton Is in progress an interruption oc-
ours the meter may DO stopped and
then started again when service Is
resumed. The operator is thus not
obliged 10 make any calculations as
to the time consumed. The phone
meter may also be used by subscribers
TO check the time OF toll calls.
This is all very well for the power

BIG ATTENDANCE AT CONVENTION TO
 CONSIDER RATE
Sentiment in Favor of Return of Old Passenger Rates Increasing Rap idly all Over State. Bill will
 be Introduced this Week

Little Rock, Feb. 15.-Representa- tives of Chambers of Commerce or other commercial organizations of most Arkansas cities are attending the convention called by them to con sider the three cent passenger rate. As all organizations of this character in the state have already gone on rec ord as favoring the increase in passen- ger rates, resolutions will again be adopted.
 Sentiment in favor of the return to the old passenger rates is increasing rapidly, and if the proposed legislation Ilegalizing three cent fares is defeated it will not be because the heavy ship pers and the people who travel most do not favor it. The only opposition now apparent comes from people who will not spend dollar in travel dur ing the year.
 The bill providing the increase in rates will be introduced in the Senate this week where it will be given con sideration. The railroads will then be given an opportunity to come in and show what they are receiving under the present system, and what they must pay for operation. They will show that the average distance travel ed by the people of Arkansas per an- mum is less than fifty miles.
 With the people of the cities and towns, who live along the railroads, with the employees of the railroads and labor unions everywhere joining with the people of the country in demand ing the return to the old rates, the railroad officials cannot figure where the return will be forced to deal with present conditions much longer. The rural communities are sorely taxed by the inability of the railroads to pur- chase ties and timbers, which give employment to thousands of farmers in the winter months. An increase of passenger rates means practically nothing to them, so far as train fares is concerned, so they have all to gain by an increase of rates.

PINE BLUFF LIQUOR MEN GIVE UP FIGHT
 FOR OPEN SALOONS
Fear that Further Action Would Re suit in Ten Mile Law for Little R0ck-Fort Smith Will Get
 License Thru Repeal.

Little Rock, Feb. l5.-No further effort will be made to secure relief from the General Assembly so that Pine Bluff may have liquor licenses for the balance of the year, according to a well informed politician of this city He states that the liquor men fear that such action would result in a ten mile act for Little Rock.
 The people of Pine Bluff section must be served from Ulm, in Prairie county, and Grady, in Lincoln county There is a good pike road leading from Pine Bluff to Grady, but Ulm is north of Stuttgart too far away for convenient travel. but within the mail order zone.
 Relief will come to the Fort Smith saloonists, who are caught by the sec tion of the White-Newberry bill which prohibits county judge or city issu- ing license after the bill has passed. through the repeal of the city ordi- nance which granted licenses only for a month at a time. An occupation tax will then be assessed against the saloons, answering the same purpose as a license tax.
