We are pleased to note that the
daughter of our old friend, Ed Korns
and wife of Newkirk, is home from
Borneo, or some such heather coun-
try as that, where she has been serv-
ing as missionary for the last five
years. We have always felt that
sending a girl as missionary to the
so-called heather was a mighty poor
use to make Of her, particularly a
bright, pleasant girl like this one,
and it is to be hoped that she is home
now to stay and cheer the declining
years of her good mother and old dad,
which is a pretty good way to serve
the Lord, after all.-The POnca,

TELEPHONE TRUST SHAKES

Mayor Thompson says he will con-
suit his special counsel, Walter L.
Fisher, on whether he should sign or
veto the automatic telephone ordi-
nance. While the mayor is getting
Fishers valuable opinion ($1OO
day., the public will have time to
study these figures from the annual
report of the American Telephone &
Telegraph Co.
This company owns the Bell pat
ents, is known as the Bell company
or Bell monopoly. Chicago is inter
ested because the Bell company is
owner of 95 per cent of the stock of
the Chicago Telephone Co., so when
you drop nickel in the slot you are
a customer of this big A. T. & T. Co.
Net earnings of the A. T. & T. last
year were $41,117, 487. The local
phone company complains of it's pow
erty whenever aldermen try to reg
ulate it and cut down the high cost
of phone service. The Chicago Tel
ephone Co. can bring in its books,
bookkeepers and officers and argue
that phone rates ought to go higher
instead of lower. Thus, while no
brags are made that the Chi. Tel. Co..
is a big, rich concern with fat profits,
the big parent company, the Amer
lean Telephone & Telegraph Co.,
makes the getaway with the divi-
dends. Who wouldn't feel like buy

500 over the year before.
These are the profits of the COM
pany, constantly attacked during the
automatic phone ordinance discus
sions as being the big party behind
the grab. Chicago is the greatest
long distance phone center in the
United States. A successfully oper-
ated automatic phone system, here
at the heart Of the wire systems of
the nation, would be a perpetual
threat to the A. T. & T. Such was
the argument often made in the gas
oil committee.
The Bell system now connects
9,151, 221 phones. Total wire mile
age is 1850, 900, of which 10, $780, 900
is underground. Total capitalize
ton is $1,367, 537,84O. It earned 81
per cent on this the past year. TheO-
dOre N. Vail, president, spills a state
ment along with this report which
everybody believes and nobody dis
putes:
ct is perfectly within bounds of
conservatism to say that the Amer
lean Telephone & Telegraph Co. and
associated companies were never, as
a whole, in a more satisfactory, if as
satisfactory, a position financially,
physically, and particularly from the
point of mutual relationship with
their employees and the public"

TIE WIDER APPEAL OF NEWS
PAPERS.
Isl. Joseph, NO, News-Press).

est. Joseph, Mo-, News-Press).
When Alexander the great was
on his famous hike through Persia
there were no newspapers 70 herald
his doings. But the willy Alexander
couldn't do without information of
what was going on elsewhere while
he was cOnquering the unknown
world. So while Alexander and his
legions swung the sword and made
unknown peoples bow to mis- yoke,
he kept in touch with Macedonia
by couriers. who brought him news
at frequent intervals. When Pompey
and Caesar had their memorable
brawl for the control of the world,
both kept in touch with the news
Of the situation as il affected them.
And they did not wait for bits of
stray information 10 reach them in
the field but sent out cOuriers and
spies TO get it. Thus they were kept
informed and shaped their actions
accordingly. When Napoleon wrap
ped Europe in a sheath of flame he
depended upon couriers and the Lon
don newspapers. When he was in
Egypt and things went against him
a London newspaper was brought to
him and he was told by an aide who
could read English that the Aus
trians were capturing parts Of north
ern Italy. So he fastened back to
the mainland, abandoning his army
and eluding the British blockade Of
the Mediterranean.
From time immemorial news has
had an immense value in the plans,
decisions and achievements of men.
More than once in history the
knowledge of a fact has changed
the course of empire. And who
knows but that in the present Euro
pean war the knowledge of facts
intended 10 remain secret has been
a potent factor in shaping events.
In our day the news of life's
kaleidoscope facts exerts a much
wider influence and appeal. The tele-
graph, the telephone and the cables
are our couriers. They bring us in
formation daily by which men form
their opinions, base their future
actions. and embrace principles.
In these epoch-making times as
momentous news is being wrought
with fire and sword as ever blistered
the face of mother earth. And one
of the wonders-one OF the side

Alexander. Pompey, Caesar and
Napoleon had but a hay idea of

With Other Editors Than Ours

vidual should not be made the slave
Of the institutions that men estab-
lish.
The call to the churches is TO
labor as constantly and diligently
for the Improvement of the social
order as for the conversion Of man.
One Of the chief aims of Chris
tian work-and one upon which the
success of that work largely depends
lis the maintaining of the equili-
brium between those two kinds of
activity.
Social problems have begun to as
sumo a prominent place in church
work.
And it is because of this that the
church is becoming more and more
of a community asset.
All right minded people agree
that the institutions that stand for
health. happiness and prosperity
make the city or community where
in they are situated more attrac-
tive.
These localities are better places
to live i'm. In that sense they are
sound investments.
Churches have been criticised as
expensive investments from which
there is no visible return
But while granting that the
church is not a perfect institution
and lamenting the fact that it is
often handicapped by a narrow and
sectional spirit, we assert that the
church has helped TO make strong
characters.
The church is a moral balance 10
the community, setting high stand
ards of life and character and in
spring action in line with sympathy
and service. As such an institution
we believe the churches. in out
lining a program of work for the
upbuilding of the moral and re-
ligious interests Of the people is
worthy of hearty approval and
support from all forward looking
men and women.
