THE LOCAL TELEPHONE
SITUATION.

Citizens Of st. Paul fear that they
have been robbed Of home rule and,
specifically, telephone control, by the
Minnette law Of 1915. They are set
ting about to file complaint against
the Tri-state Telephone company with
the state railroad and warehouse COM
mission, charging excessive telephone
rates.
Duluth, home rule city, is in a
similar plight as st. Paul and other
cities. The monopolstic, nonresident
Bell Telephone interests must be held
highly responsible for this twisting Of
conditions and this robbery of the cit
les in local control Of public utilities.
Although the citizens Of st. Paul
have awakened, they are somewhat in
tho condition Of the man who locked
the barn door after the horse was stol-
en-. In Duluth, citizens have not even
done that much and, ~ for the city
council, the kindly old commissioners
are asleep and snoring 50 loudly that
they can be heard in Superior.
Not being satisfied with robbing Du-
luth Of homo rule, SO far as telephone
systems are concerned, these absentee
monopolists, who do business In Mime
sofa in the name Of the Bell Telephone
company, are putting the shackles> on
Duluth still further by absorbing the
Zenith telephone system, system i9

POLICE WOMAN'DESIRED.

fUL1CE WOMAN DESlkED.
There seems to be q general demand
for woman police officer, especially
for the purpose Of keeping tab on tho
dance halls which are becoming very
numerous and quite noisy in the city.
The city commissioners insist that
the municipal finances win not permit
them to appoint and pay q woman for
police duty. They have, however, Of
fsred $25 month towards tho salary
q AZ acceptable police woman.
ct course this sum is entirely. made
uuate for the salary Of q woman fully
competent to hold such a position. We
believe that q woman officer would be

way can be found for paying her sal

WHAT Is SLAVERY?

IT'S to work, and have such pay
As just keeps life from day to da!
In your limbs, as in cell,
For the tyrants' use to dwell.
So that ye for them are made
Loom, and plough, and sword, Sn'
spade .,,.
With or without your own Will oeh'
To their defense and nourishment' ,
IT'S to hunger for such diet,
As the rich man in his riot
Casts to the fat dogs that lie
surfeiting beneath his eye.
IT'S to be slave in soul,
And to hold no strong contrei
Over your own viii, but be
All that others make Of ye. .o>

IF I SHOULD DIE TONIGHT.

Eugene Secor, a prominent
farmer living near Forest City,
Iowa, who was gored to death by
q bull on his farm last June, was
the author Of the following poem:
An atom in the vastly universe,
A bit of star dust in field Of light
Am I; nor would the world its course
reverse
If I should die tonight.
The air is full of spirits Of the past
Spirits that once in flesh were clear
to sight,
Forgotten all, as I shall be at last,
If should die tonight.
But deeds, not men, are what alone
. survive,
Pure thoughts are angels clad II
garments white.
Will words or deeds Of mine remaih
If should die tonight
Shall one kind act, one unrememberee
wrong,
One helpful word by me to cheer
the right,
One phrase remain to speed the trutr
along
If should die tonight
Of all the ones I know who call me
friend
Would one, just one, for life keep
memory bright
With some sweet thought / spaHs
while here, or penned,
If I should die tonight
