THE TELEPHONE TANGLE.-f
the city council possessed more
knowledge, or more desire to attain
knowledge, the Automatic telephone
tangle could be Strengthened out with
benefit to the citizens of Chicago, and
the experience of Chicago would later
become a beacon light for the world.
The struggle for the possession Of
the automatic by the telephone trust
is not for the actual tangible pro-
perty involved, but for the purpose
of establishing a monopoly of the
telephone business here in Chicago
and elsewhere.
Perhaps some of the members Of
the council know what a monopoly
is. When it comes to practical mat
tiers Immediately involving their own
business they are quick to see the
monopoly element and to fight or EN-
brace it as their interests may direct.
But when it comes to the public in
terest they are often blind. They can
give away the streets or alleys of the
city without a sting from their
consciences, and they can also con-
slider the giving away of the interests
of Chicago's citizens in the telephone
business with as little mental effort
as they would to expend a nickel to
relieve the wants of beggar.
The probability is that most of our
troubles come from ignorance. Ig-
norance of the facts of individual and
of social life brings poverty and sick
ness and crime that affects us all,
and the council should be condemned
for ignorance and stupidity rather
than for cUpidity.

MEMOu TO FURNISH
MUSIC AT THE AIR
Contract Awarded to Him.
Exhibit Space Is Fast
Being Taken

President r. A. Brown of the Alabama
State Fair and Exhibit association. an
nounced yesterday that the contract for
the music for the 1915 fair this fall had
been awarded to Memoirs band, one of
Birmingham's leading musical organinr-
lions, headed by Philip Memoli.
1t was also stated that indications were
that the agricultural exhibits at the fair
would surpass all previous years. as ap-
plications for space are coming in very
days.
I'm regard to Memoli and his band"
said Mr.. Brown, I'VE gave him the con-
tract on the grounds of the trade in Bir-
mingham argument, and also because we
believe that he can furnish as good music
as any of the regular travelling fair
bands
I'VE want to give the local band an
opportunity to develop. We believe con-
tracts like the fair contract will do it.
We have not stinted Mr.. Memoli on
money. We have paid him what he asked
as much as we would have paid any
of the outside bands.
These regular touring hands which
usually play state fair dates in the fall
sometimes are good and sometimes are
not. We know what Memol can do, and
we believe that with some preparation
his organization will give as good and
probably better music at the State Fair
this fall than we have ever had be-
