While it is very evident there will.

Richmond next month, the number is
decreasing, since a number of owners
have made themselves known to City

Dykes stated the advertisements in

500 POLES AND
MILES OF CABLES
Thirty Home People Regularly
Employed AZ Local Phone
Exchange Work

i The work on the lines of the Cara
berland Telephone and Telegraph
. company in Richmond and Madison
county, which started with the sieet
storms last January, will not be COM
pleted for at least two months, ac-
cording to the estimation of General
! Manager H. p. Harris, and when I'm
! ished it is his assertion that the ser
vice will not be equal to, but excel
any ever furnished here. The acme
of perfection cannot be E2intalned
| while line is being operated and so
extensively improved at the same
time, and this fact Will become more
evident to the ever-increasisg list OF
patrons when the big task is COM
pleted.
When it is known that enc of the
5O-foot poles represents cost OF a
trihe over 500 from the time 1T is
contracted for until placed in the
ground on duty, the expense attached
to the work can be partially mag
| med. The big crew of w0rkmen
which has been constantly ut work
| for more than seven months will not
| leave this vicinity for at least sixty
days. Miles and miles of new wire
have been shipped to Madison county
and strung and numerous new poles
.lave been added. New cables have
been strung, owing to the growth of
the city Of Richmond during the re-
cent years, and there are now appii-
cations for additional telephones
awaiting their turn to be accommo
dated. The company is meeting the
conditions with unusual alacrity, con-
| sidering general conditions.
Some OF the work has been added
10 owing to the change in roadways
through Madison county, this neceS-
stating the changing Of the line and
removal of all poles on the Irvine
pike for Il distance of four miles, cX
tending from what is known as -Four
Mile point to Waco. This work has

tent OF thousands of dollars, the
company is spending extra thousands
in making the service bigger and
!jetter than ever before.
| s Few people recognize the extern
siveness and work attached to the
operation OF a telephone station, such
as the one in this city. Few realize
| that 30 home people are constantly
employed, and oftimes a greater mum
ber at the local office. ~
All lines are given 4 genera! over
hauling and placed in excellent con-
| clifton, and when the finishing work,
the connecting link, is effected The
service will be out of the ordinary
attaches of the company claim.
Wages comparing favorably with
those paid in greater cities are paid
Richmond employees. This city repre-
sents but a small part of the employ
ment by the company in Madison
county. While there is difficulty in OBJ
tanning supplies, company officials as
sert the local field will not be aban-
dOned by the working crews until the
last Of the work is accomplished to
their liking.

A British Error.

The stupidity of the British authori
ties in intcrrupting the journey OF
Archbishop Mannix of Australia, and
forcing him aboard a destroyer, which
conveyed him to England, instead of to
Ireland, whence he was bound on a
visit to the land of his birth and the
home of his boyhood days, is beyond the
understanding of thinking men. The
Archbishop was on a peaceful mission
to his old home. Allowing that he was
going to Ireland as an agitator, he was
not at that time guilty of any act that
would warrant the treatment he received.
He had broken no law. and in arresting
him and depriving him of the rights to
land upoa his native shore, the British
government has done more for the cause
of Ireland than all the agitators that
ever espoused Irish freedom. Right and
justice do not appear to be on the side
of the British, government in this case,
and the fame her act has ignited will
60 long way toward setting Ireland
free.

Economic Situation.

1t is estimated that between fifty and
one hundred shoe factories in Massachu
setts are closed, and as many others
running on half time. The woolen in
dustry is fiat and there is nothing III
sight that looks like an immediate re-
sumption Of business.
Something is wrong in our national
economies. 1t cannot be lack of pro
duction; for there is no demand. The
manufacturers cannot sell their products
at the present prices.
The condition may be pointed out as
one designed to make political capital I;
but it does not seem possible that it is
any other than an economic one. The
people decline to pay the enormous prof
its demanded by the profiteers, and are
buying just as little as will supply their
needs. They are wearing the old suit
a little longer. The old shoes are going
to the repair shop more frequently.
Shoe repair men were never so busy as
now. In fact the condition seems to
be purely economic and non-political.
Wages have not kept pace with living
costs, and hence necessity compels the
wearing of the suit or the shoes a little
longer, and the sacrifice of many needs
and wants that cannot now be graft
fed.
Politics does not seem to rule the
present conditions, but causes are aris-
ing that may rule politics.; although
there is no political party that can ad
Just the present problem. 1t is one
that must work itself clear. If it works
slowly, well and good; but if some crisis

there will be sorrow where there is now
Joy, and neither Republican, Democrat
ic, or Socialist, or any other brand of
political energy can be brought to bear
to change serious economic problem
into a political one. Politics may tie to
the problem, but will have no influence
in the settlement of the difficulty; for
it will not yield to political treatment,
and is therefore non,political
Short hours and high wages increase
the cost of production. High selling
expenses and the graft of the profteer
carry prices to point where the public
balks and refuses to function. If high
labor costs ensured cOrrespondingly
high production, so that the dollar
would purchase more of the products of
labor, the economic situation would be
nearer solution; but high costs, regard
less of production, and a predatory
system Of profiteering, between produc
tion costs and the consumer, have Gre

The United States is one of the few
remaining countries that still clings to
the ancient and cumbersome system of
weights and measures. ThirtyfOur
countries have adopted the metric sys-
ten, which is the simplest and best that

our currency scheme, and if it is good
enough for that purpose, why not for
all measurements? It's very simplicity

is now optional in this country, but

Famous SWlss City.

ct. Gall (Switzerland) Is the noted
embroidery seat Of modern days, and
one Of the most influential centers Of
Christian civilization In central Eu-
rope. The city owes It's foundation
to the Irish apostle Gailus, who, in the
year 614, founded a hermitage near
the brook Steinach. In the resulting
monastery Of st. Gall, the strict rules
Of the Irish church were enforced un-
til 100, when those Of st. Benedict
were substituted by anabbot, Othmar.
In 1881, the Abbot Norpert Of st. Gall
erected convent on the Sitter river,
the place taking the name Of Abbatis

Was Once Famous Port,

Hythe, England, has played a promi.
nent part IN history since medieval OF
modern times IN spite of the fact that
few 10 this country had heard OF 1t.

Governor John NJ. Cox.

Governor John NJ. Cox has been off
cialIy notified of his nomination by the
National Democratic Convention at San
Francisco. Impressed with the honor
it confers, and undismayed by the grave
responsibilities which the honor brings
with it, he accepts the trust in words
ringing with the eternal truth-words
that went and will 20 deep into the
heart of every patriotic American citi-
zen as he reads them. There is not one
ambiguous sentence in his declaration
of principles. He met every issue
sauarelv and fearlessly. He stands
sauarely on the fundamental principles
of the great party that has selected him
for its leader in the trying times of to
dav. We believe that he is the right
man; we know and love the pure princi-
pies of government he stands for, and
gladly follow him, as he leads on, and
makes clear the way to success of those
principles.
The Democratic party stands square
ly on those principles which were
created by Americans in the last half
of the eighteenth century; that is
really true Americanism. 1t is personi
fed in the candidate of the Democratic
party today. Those principles and that
Americanism ought to and will continue
in the ascendancy now by the fiat of
the people of the United States. They,
of right, and will elect President Of
our great country, John NJ. Cox of
Ohio.
