CUT OFF THE PHONES

1t must be great to own a tele-
phone exchange these progressive
days, when, safe from competition,
one may do just about as he pleases,
give most any old kind of service,
charge good prices, and make rules
regardless of how they inconvenience
the patrons.
1t may not be popular any more
for newspaper to jump onto pub
lie service corporation, but we have
found that there are a lot of people
who heartily agree with what the
Democrat has had to say regarding
the Liberal Telephone Company, and
there are converts to the ranks every
day. Public sentiment is beginning
to crystalize in favor of having de-
cent telephone service in Liberal and
all kinds of plans have been discussed,
but the dear people are finding out
that the company have things pretty
much their own way. 1t is not posi-
BILE to have any organized action
against the company, no matter how
far they go, as the laws against boy
colt would apply to any organized
effort to compel either service OF
price concessions. The Utility Board
is supreme and this board has al

AS SEEN BY A PIONEER

The sacrifice" of having to use
substitutes happened to be mentioned
the other day by little bevy of wo-
men at a store. The Old Settler
among them merely smiled.
"You see this splendid country all
around you here, with its railroads,
it's towns, it's schools, its churches,
it's public Improvements, it's fine peo-
ple-don't you? Well, when l came
to it in 1877 as bride l sacrificed
all the comforts and surroundings of
a good home back in Ohio, and
thought nothing at all of it. l lived
the first three years in dug out,
which was a substitute for a house
l wore undergarments made of flour
sacks, and my first baby was outftted
with the same. For sugar | substi
tuted molasses, for fruit substituted
cactus, pear and sand plum, for china
ware / substituted tin plates and tir
cups, for furniture l substituted ole
nail kegs, soap boxes and dry goods
boxes.
"There was little call to go any
where, for there wasn't much to go tt
but when we went we substituted
an OK team for an automobile we ride
in now. We substituted something

fort and every little refinement W,

WE DON'T KNOW

The Democrat is in receipt of an
anonymous letter which seems to be
a protest against girls engaging in a
certain line of work that has hereto
fore belonged to men, and the writer
makes the point that these girls are
working with men,"
We have not had time to investi-
gate the merits of the complaint made
by the writer of the letter and there.
fore are not in a position to say any
thing either for or against. Possibly
the writer knows something and as he
or she is, or should be, just as much q
guardian of the morals of the town
as we, we fail to understand why the
letter was not signed. Frankly we
have but little use for an unsigned
communication. No one should ex.
pect newspaper to assume respon-
sibility they do not care to assume
themselves.
The fact that girls are working
with men is nothing against either
the girls or the work. Girls work
with men in all kinds of occupations
and there is no danger to any CIR
if the men she works with are MEN
and there is just much danger in one
line of work as another.
If the writer of the letter will cal
and sign the letter we will print it
otherwise to the wastebasket.

PRESIDENT HAS APPROVED
THOMPSON'S PENSION BILL

Washington, d. c., June 28.-The
President has approved the Spanish
War Widows Pension Bill, of which
Kansas is the author The law grants
$1,000 per month for the widow and
SO per month for each minor child
under 16 years old, of Spanish War
veteran who served at least ninety
days during the war, pension to start
from date of application filed with
the Commissioner of Pensions. I'm
til this law was passed, for widow
of Spanish War Veteran to secure
a pension, the death of the soldier
had to be established as resulting
from wound, injury or disease in
Cured from his military service. The
Thompson law eliminates the death
due to service" clause and grants
pension on ninety days or more SER
vice by the soldier.
Senator Thompson was pleased to
receive from the President the Vice
President and the Speaker of the
House, the pens with which they
signed his bill.
This question has been pending in
Congress for seven years and SINH
lar bill to Thompson's (the Key bill)
was passed by the House two or three
times but it was never passed by the
Senate. Senator Thompson's bill is
the first to get through the Senate.

RICH VAGABONDS

A man arrested in Boston thought
he was giving a sufficient refutation
of the charge of "idle and disorderly"
when he flashed $4,000 roll of bills.
The judge thought otherwise. Quite
unmoved by this display of wealth,
he sentenced the defendent to six
months in Jail.
There was a time when such an
offender in Boston or almost any
where else would have got off with
verbal rebuke, or at worst small
money fine. Those piping times of
tolerance have vanished There is
now no social or judicious sanction
for rich vagabond than a poor one.
That, by the way, is another little
proof that the war for democracy is
winning at home as well as in Italy
and France.-Pratt Tribune.

eral must put up with poor service
at an increased price, and pay in adj
vance for the same.
The Democrat shall stand for the
repeal of the Public Utilities Board
law at the next meeting of the Leg
islature. 1t has been shown conclu-
sively that the law is an outrage and
should have no place on the statute
books.
The recent ruling of the Liberal
Telephone Company that telephone
rentals be paid in advance is not
meeting the approval of the people.
Notice was given that unless pay
ments were made by certain time
service would be discontinued. And
the rule was enforced in several in
stances. This is rather arbitrary
on the part of the company. We do
not know of any other business insti-
tuition that is so particular about this
settlement. We have been negligent
many times about paying our house
rent, grocery bills, doctor bills, paper
and type bills and most all kinds of
bills, but we have never been cut off
yet. Most businesses give fellow a
chance, but the telephone company
says that unless you dig up the
change on the exact date, no matter
what the circumstances, you lose
YOUR service. Give the company a
bunch of competition and see how
they will enforce the ruling.
However, persistent effort on the
part of the people Of Liberal will
eventually right the wrong being
done. If the local company will give
service no one will seriously object
to the increased rate or the pay-in-
advance clause but the company must
give service. Liberal must have as
good service as other towns and bet
ter than some. Other lines of bust
ness here are up-to-date, and our tele-
phone service must be the same.
We are told that phones are COM
ing out all over town, and this is one
way to get rid of poor service. Sew
eral have told us that they had dis
continued the use of phones.
We are now investigating plan
of action and if we find that it is
feasible we will give the information,
believing that the people of Liberal
will be back of the proposition to
get sufficient telephone service.
We shall not let up until we have
had bettered conditions or found that
it is impossible.

did it gladly. In fact we never
thought of it as sacrifice as we
thought of the whole thing as great
adventure. To some extent we en-
joyed it, and we used to see which of
US women could think Of the most
substitutes to take the place of things
we didn't have.
eve were at that time fighting for
the existence of new country out
west where poor people would have a
chance to get start. Today we are
fighting for the preservation of those
which give liberty and chance for
all men alike. Everything worth
while calls for sacrifice on the part
of somebody. So let's not complain
if we do not see speck Of white flour
again in our lives. "-Kingman Jour
