HEARS BRYAN
Vital Problems of the Day
Discussed by Famous
Speaker.

The auditorium was crowded to its
capacity last night when William Jen-
nings Bryan spoke for two and a half
hours on some of the vital and burn
ing questions Of the age. Mr.. Bryan
was introduced by j. Nelson Kelly,
the chairman Of the meeting.
Preceding his address, Mr.. Bryan
called attention to the numerous war
activities of the people of the United
States, M in referring to the various
drives which have been made for the
purpose of helping the war forward,
characterized their success as indica-
tions of the soundness and vitality of
the nation.
Looking away from the immediate
situation, Mr.. Bryan drew a vast per-
spective of vision when he, greeted by
an outburst of applause, declared:
Eve must win the war, but it is not
only for ourselves and those who fight
our fight with us. but also for the
whole world, for the future of hui
manity. The path Of liberty must be
kept open at any cost, and every man,
indeed, every woman should be ready
to die so as to make this possible"
Mr.. Bryan paid a warm hearted
tribute to President Wilson and his
war measures and also described
some of the functions of the American
government in the field of foreign
policy. The essence of democratic,
autocratic and bureaucratic govern
ment was described in a successful
effort to point out the strength of the
first and the obvious weakness of the
two latter systems.
The address was one eloquent ap-
peal for, the recognition Of the prin-
ciple of liberty, observation-disclosures and
the application of the tenets of uni
versal brotherhood.
Mr.. Bryan left this morning for
Devils Lake and Minot.

Grand Forks. This franchise pro-
Vldes for a measure of regulation
vested in the council; a franchise tax
amounting to about 500 a year. and
the privilege granted to the city of
purchasing the exchange and equip
ment at the expiration of the 2O-year
franchise, that is, in 1924, II the city
should SO desire.
In October it was reported that
there were about 5000 telephone in
struments in use in this city and East
Grand Forks: these were said to be
about equally divided between the two
companies, and there were approx
mately between 500 and 500 duplica-
tons. Upon the basis of these and
other related figures it was estimated
that the duplication of telephones
$4,000 a month for the citizens of
Grand Forks. To eliminate this loss
is one of the main objects of the in
vestigation and negotiations carried
on.
Further Progress Reported.
In subsequent. reports to the ,coun-
Gil, the special telephone committee
was in a position to say that some
progress was being made from month
to month. In a report to the council
at it's meeting December z, the COM
mittee said that a series of confer
ences had been held with the Tri-
State company, but hat it had been
impossible to make satisfactory ar
rangements for conferences with the
Northwestern Co. Later on, however,
representatives of both companies met
the committee and City Attorney Geo.
A. Bangs and on FEBRUARY 6 a report
was presented to the council to the
effect that Roadway was being made.
In his farewell message, Mayor j.
A. Dinnie on April 16 expressed HIM
self as being convinced that it was
inevitable that. unitication of the tele-
phone service in the city should be
brought about at the earliest convent
ent moment, and since then the stu
alton has been thoroughly discussed
in all its complicated phases from a
variety of viewpoints.
At the present time it looks as
though a final decision is approach
ing, the matter having been consider
ably fastened by the action Of the
Minnesota board of railroad commits
sioners in %effecting a division Of ter
ritory between the two telephone
companies operating in Minnesota.
At the meeting tonight the situation
will be once more gone over and
while no decisive step may be taken,
it is supposed hat some of the diff
ficulties which just now are prevent
ing a final arrangement, may be re-
moved in consequence of the discus
sion to which all citizens are invited.

Public Also Invited to Take
Part in Meeting Tonight,

TRI-STATE WANTS
TO SELL
Preceding Stages Of Consol.
idation Negotiations Brief
ly Reviewed.

"a special meeting of the city coun-
.cil will be- held in the city hall at
1880 this evening for the purpose of
discussing the application of the Tri-
State Telephone Co.. for cancellation
Of the franchise granted it by the city
fifteen years ago.. The meeting will
be In the nature Of a public hearing
and citizens generally are invited to
express their view in regard to the
matter. r.
The desire for having the franchise
cancelled grows out Of the negotl-
atoms, conducted for several months.
with the consolidation Of the two
local telephone exchanges in view,
and it is asserted that not even uni
fcsation can be effected unless certain
clauses in the franchise are alto
gether .removed-which, in effect,
means the cancellation of the entire
franchise.
The Preventive Section.
In the franchise granted by the
council Of May a, 1908, and APP
proved three days later, section 10
reads as follows:
.The said grantee shall not,
without the consent Of the city
council, sell, assign, transfer or
lease any OF the property used in
connection with or forming part
of the telephone system or plant
hereinafter contemplated to be
constructed, or any of the rights,
privileges or easements herein
granted to any person, persons,
company, trust or corporation
now or hereafter engaged in the
telephone business in the city of
Grand Forks, nor shall he at any
time enter into any combination
directly or indirectly, with n
person, persons, company or cor.
YpoFation concerning the rates to
be charged for telephone service"
Review of Proceedings.
The negotiations for telephone con-
solidation were actually started on
May Z, 1917, when a resolution ex-
pressing the desirability of physical
connection between the exchanges
was adopted and a committee ap-
pointed. An interesting and volum-
nous report was submitted to the
council BY the committee at a meet
ing October Is, in which certain his
torical facts were set forth.
According to this report, the first
telephone exchange was installed in
Grand Forks in 1882 by ex-Mayor D.
NJ. Holmes. S. S. Titus, w. G. Wood
ruff, Geo. B. Winship and D. D.
Webster. This exchange was oper-
the Erie Telegraph and Telephone Co.,
which operated it until the fall of
1884. During the next two years the
city was without telephone service,
but in 1887 the Northwestern Tele-
phone Exchange Co. began operating
here and obtained a franchise from
the city in 1890.

GARDENERS ANTI

Good Health is OF primary Importance
for success IN all lines of activities
Especially is this true in times of war
and great undertakings such as the
country is at present engaged in. II is
believed that the citizens Of Gardiner
realize this fact. The city Of Gardiner
has for several years been the banne,
town in the sale of Red Cross seals. the
proceeds of which are devoted to anti
tuberculosis work in this State. Miss
Elizabeth Sumner, field worker for the
Maine Anti-Tuberculosis Association
has been for several days investigat ling
conditions in Gardner regarding the
disease. Her statement, made Friday,
that she had found 80 cases of advanced
tuberculosis in Gardiner is somewhat
startling, for we have prided ourselves
that our city had rather clean bill OF
health as far as that disease was con-
Of the situation as facts are stubborn
things and must be faced.
On Thursday afternoon. May .. there
will be a meeting held in Sain Joseph S

will preside and Dr. Bristol OF the state
health department will speak. Mrs. r.
