The Facts of the Telephone
Situation In Louisiana
CUMBERLAND TELEPHONE TELEGRAPH COMPANY
The Service Situation
y ]. EPPs BROWN, President

0elephone service should be adequate, eff
dcient and dependable; sufficient in guam
tity, satisfactory in quality and furnished
without interruption.
Adequate service is dependent upon ade-
quate facilities.
Efficient service is dependent upon a suf-
fcient number of trained employees to
maintain and operate the facilities.
Dependable service is dependent upon
both adequate facilities and trained forces.
The facilities are paid for with the money
invested in the business. Trained forces
are paid with theamoney paid to the Com
pany by the public for the service furnished.
In no other way can these essential req
uisites of service be had. The needed facil-
titles are never paid for cut Of the earnings
Of the company, and the employees are
never paid out Of the capital of the COM
pany.
Subsequent statements will show what
the Company has done to meet its obliga-
tion to furnish both facilities and forces.
Everyone knows that this Conpany's
service has been dependable. Throughout
Hle war and in spite of strikes and the most
abnormal conditions ever known, our serv-
ice was furnished without interruption.
While the service now is not adequate to
meet the unprecedented demand, due to
causes which will be given later, the facts
show that the Company is now furnishing
far greater quantity Of service than ever
before
The following figures show the service
furnished within the State Of Louisian

ASK LABOR TO BACK COX.
Gompers Says Democratic Candidate
is Friend Of Working Men.

In an article published in the Amer
lean Federationist, Samuel Gompers
president Of the American Fedora.
ton Of Labor, urges labor to sup.
port James M. Cox, Democratic can.
didate for president of the United
States on the grounds that he is the
friend Of the working man and stands
for progress and advancement
whereas. Harding. the Republican
nominee, is ir favor Of going back
ward and has turned his back upon
the working man.
'sThe two leading candidates for
the presidency have defined clearly
their attitude toward the great pub
lie issues Of the day." says Mr.. Com
pers' article, which was made public
today by the Labor Federation.
"In effect Senator Harding says
let US return to normalcy.' Unques-
tionably in the mind of Senator Hard.
ing as.return to normal means a
course that leads backward. Cover
nor Cox proclaims desire to go for
ward. The important fact is, how.
ever, that the platforms of the parties
upon which these candidates stand
and their own personal PHILOSOPHERS
lead inevitably and naturally up to
the conclusions found in those two
brief utterances."
"The interest of the great masses
Of our people can be best served only
by the election of the candidate whose
declarations and whose record offer
the best assurance Of intelligence and
integrity in the future.
Every American worker, every
earnest American citizen devoted to
he cause of human progress and with
q faith in the Righteousness of the
principles of freedom, justice and
democracy must strive ardently for
the defeat Of those who have turned
their backs upon labor and upon
progress generally and the success
generally OF those who have attempt
ed to meet with understanding and
in a spirit Of constructive progress
the problems of the needs of the
working people and Of the great
masses of all our people"

Licensing Editors.

Here comes an eastern man ad
vocating the licensing Of editors, just
as lawyers, or doctors, or ministers
are licensed. And yet we doubt il
he realizes that. the average editor
will not object to being licensed. He
is the best-natured soul on earth and
does not kick at any precautionary
measure. You can license him, vac.
icinate him, baptize him, deodorize OF
disinfect him, and it's aHehe same.
He stands for anything. But lcens-
ing editors will not make good edi-
tors out of bad ones, any more than
licensing lawyers will make them all
good lawyers. The eastern man says.
AT present the profession of
journalism is open to anyone who can
hire press and borrow lead pencil
and a paste pot"
He doesn't know, and there are peo-
pie right around Dona1dsonville who
do not know that at this time it re-
quires something more. 1t requires
capital, and brains, and energy; and
il the paper does not find a field or
make one at once, it perisiles from
the earth, for there are none so rich
at thiR time &hey can afford to run a
LOSING newspaper. Anybody may
startM newspaper, but it will stop it.
self, and in q very short time il it is
not the right kind of a paper and un-
less it5caters to the right kind of peo-
Pile. In fact, the length of life of a
depends upon its ability
TO do good.
An editor, running around with
license in his hip pocket would not.
always mean an editor with the best
interests of his community at heart.
And, license or no license, that's the
,n1y kind Of an editor who is going
