Telephone Service
In Mt. Sterling
(By A. A. Sharp, Manager Cumb-
srlsnd Telephone & Telegraph Co.,
(Incorporated)

Never in its career Of more than
forty years as public servant has
the Cumberland Telephone & Tele-
graph Company defended poor SER
vice. We could not do this and
make a success of our business. We
do not defend poor service today,
and dissatisfaction on the part of a
community is more distressing to us
than it is to our subscribers.
Here in Mt. Sterling we need the
interest and cooperation of our sub
scribers. We are a citizen Of the
community and the employees are
living their lives here, endeavoring
to win success and happiness and
perform every duty of good citizen
ship.
We realize our service is not up
to the standard of pre-war efficien-
cy. Scarcely any service with which
you are familiar is on a pre-war
basis. Our lines are carrying a
heavier load than ever before in the
history of this city and on account
of shortage in labor and material
we have been unable to enlarge eul
plant or make prompt installations
True, the armistice has been sign
ed, but we are still confronted by
many serious problems and it has
been impossible to Immediately re-
establish our service on the basis OF
efficiency that prevailed before the
war. We are operating the telephone
system as agent for the federal gov
eminent under the supervision OF
the Postmaster General, but we neet

Judges are mostly too old. But a jurymah chosen from a list of rate payers Is more impartial and repre- sentative. He Is not elected by an elaborate system of lies, like mem bers of Parliament. No man can get into Parliament-at least into the Comm mons-unless he Is an entirely morbid specimen of humanity. l think the House of Lords is more represen- tative that the Commons because there a member is the son of his father.
 There is a continual conflict going on between judge and jury. The Judge is continually trying to take away the jury's power, and is always try ing to persuade the jury to find on facts and not upon the point of the morality of the fact-very much diff erent thing.

The whole police and managerial system of England seem to be direct ed with the idea that somebody must be punished as an example, whether guilty or innocent.
 Another Scotland Yard
 We should not only have Bar in- structed by the Crown, but we ought 10 have a bar in every police court consisting of men whose business 1t should be especially to defnd prison CTS. There ought to bel mention this to illustrate what I mean-an- other Scotland Yard, employing detec- tives whose business should not be to detect crime but weaknesses in the evidence brought by the police. In that force promotions should go by acquittals rather than by convic- tions.
 Never in my life time has there been such a large number of ex- tremely honest. high minded, ultra respectable people about who have been in prison.
 Our Cruel Prison System.
 Our prison system, added MT. Shaw, is horribly wicked. It leaves every man who touches 1t worse than 1t found him. It Is hideous and stupidly cruel. But now 1t is becoming com paritively easy to convince people, because it seems to me that in very short time every honest man in the country will have done six months and got to something about it.
 Mrs. Stephen Hobhouse told me that she was speaking to the Lord Chief Justice on the subject of her son, who was a conscienteous eb- jector. He was extremely sorry when he heard 1t, and expressed a hope that she was able to write to him and to send him food. Then she re- piled" do you mean to say that you have been practising and sentencing men to prison all your life and yet are not aware that I cannot send him anything, that he can only write to me once a month, and that I may only see him with bars between us?'
 The Lord Chief Justice knew noth- ing of this. Every ma gtstrate, every judge. every Lord Chief Justie, and every man concerned in sending men to prison ought to do three months imprisonment in order to learn what it does mean.
 No Judges Over 35.
 Most of our judges are far too sen timental When a man gets to 40 he is guided by his passions. which gets worse as he gets older. But there is a purity of intellect and a. passion for justice about youth. No man over the age of 35 should be allowed on the Bench. After that age he should come down to the Bar. where he can give free vent to his temper.
 The idea that age and experience are a guarantee of justice is not true.

taking this Tanlac, so | made up my
mind right then and there to give it a
trial myself. i commenced to get bet

remarkable the way | have gained in
