ONE TELEPHONE SYSTEM OE TW07 To grant a second telephone fran chise or not to grant ose is the Ihuc before tbo eity council. Tbo Baslnoos Men's League has taken the position that the Pacific States company be given thirty days to com plct installation of tbelr up-to-date cystom and give tltis community a good service. That Is a reasonable request. It is that time the service Is not Improved, tbo business men say grant another franchise. The present monopoly says, well and good; vre will try and convince you that wo on a. give a good service in that time. A great many business men and pro fessional moti aro of the opinion that a second systom will bo a useless tax upon tho community. Lawyers, doctors, bankers, and most business men will have to keep up the oxpenso of four telephones oaeb two In tbo places of business and two in their homes. Two systems will mean moro wlros ctrung over our city, moro poles erect od, moro tearing up of tbo streets. Bnt If wo cannot get a first-class up-to-now system without competition, wo supposo wo will have to havo it. Tbo proposed charter grants the new company sixteen months to install its plant, longer thnn the old company has been installing its new one. Tho new charter allows the company four years trev from taxes on its gross -earnings. That seems a very 'favora bio franchise. If they would pay the elty council about 16000 for the franehlse ami a per centngo of the gross earnings it would bo worth while grafting it. Tboy should also givo an indemnity bond In oasa of fnlluro to install their plant nnd fuilure to give roasonablo good servico. This plan of giving nwny a franehlie, froo of taxes for four 'years, only for tho fun of lmvlug so-oallcd competition is not wlso. It Is a telogrnph nnd tolephono fran cbiso tbat may be sold for thousands of dollars as soon as granted. Tho Journal onn say for Mr. Dnncy, tbo local manager, that In splto of crit icism, ho hns built up the system and dono his utmost to give this city a i;ood servleo. That it has uot been a better servlee lias annoyed him ns much as It has any ono, and ft thousand times as much as any customer. There nro two sides to the contro versy! A Bcooud franchise tuny givo ua better service and it way net. The experiment may be worth trying and it may not. Many towns and oltlss tbat have had two system's hnvo gone back to one. It is an experiment that will eoit someone a great deal of money that must be made back out of the com munity. After giving the present company a full nnd fair trial on their new sys tem, when fully Installed, and It falls to give satisfaction, as tboy claim it wlll a second franchise might ba all right. If tho street oar company wero not giving good service it might bo well to grant another franchise. But if they woro doing all In their power to Improve their aervlco it would hardly bo right. O ' A CALL FROM A NEIGHBOR. (Albany Herald, Oct. SI.) Tho Woodmon are members of a good order. Certain high principles are their plutform. Fraternity, helpfnlnM, sympathy, tho real neighborly quali ties of life here find exemplification. A member of the order honored in fraternal circles, Mr. Walter L. Tooze. last evening delivered an address to the Woodmen, said by thoso In attend ance to bo of exceptional Interest. It happens tbat oncy members of the order had the benefit of this ad dress or, perhaps, owned special part in its Immediate application. Bnt tb Herald finds that interest Is taken by tho eommcmlty in the speaker of tho evening, Mr. Toozo, be cause of his prominence in the con gressional contest. For many years Mr. Tooze has been a campaigner for others, for the Re publican ticket. If be pursues the samo method in bis own campaign, a suc cessful opponent need be a man of ex traordinary tact, ability and energy. Sound on the groat principles of tho party, a dobatcr, progressive in later day economics, a man of trained mind, oloon life, successful In business, an ad vocato of the squaro doal, friendly and with friends, who can deny that this Is tho typo needed by this state in congress now and always! Which of the candidates mentioned should bo moro aoccptablo and useful to Linn county if nominated and elect ed I To this. view, Mr. Toozo looks liko tho right man. o A WARM MINING DLSTRIOT. Thevatlroad edition of the Tonopah, Nevada, Journal of Commoreo Is a fine Illustrated edition, showing the min eral locations, and future prospects of that wizard city of the desert. It is without doubt the greatest discovery of mineral wealth that has been inado in half a century, and all tbo old min ors who havo not gono there aro laying awako nights thinking bow they can get into the camp. Three railroads are headed for the mines and the spec ulators have advertised it to the whole world. Address for copies B. B. Cush man, secretnry board of trade. o CONSTITUTION OIIANOINO. A notnblo and timely paper Is that In tho October Atlantic upon "Our Changing Constitution," by Alfred Penrce Dennis. Mr. Dennis by a startling roll-call of tho recent oxtra constitutional nets of tho oxecutivo whieh havo yet stood without oontcst or objection, shows th'ut tho constitu tion Is actually in a state of ohangc. His conclusion Is especially important nntt suggestive. "The constitution can be treated no longer as a written instrument defining the measure of American destiny, but rather as the sum of the political hab its and convictions of tho nation. Our political development has followed tbo course laid down by the rigid, written constitution, but the nnebor of limita tions is fixed In an clement which is itself shifting and unstable. The old conflict between the unyielding law nnd tho living organism hns resulted ns it must always rosult in any expand ing life, in a victory for organism. For the letter killeth, but the spirit glveth life." Tho constitutions of states and na tions nrt growth, never at rest, forever charging, some parts dead or dying, other parts coming into life or expanding. INSURANCE PAPER TRIES TO DEFEND Som of the Papers Sarcastic raragraphs Given a Gentle Boost Here are a few gems of thought from the Insuraneo Press, on lifo insurance, and the present investigation a brief comment is attached to each: "Tho yelping newspapers nro olo ouentlv silent on the matter of tholt own contribution to political cam paigns." What tboy gavo was tholr own, not trust funds. "Sorao men nre willing to contribute moro por annum to campaign funds than to an insurance fund for their families." Tho Investigation shows tho terms aro synonymous. "Octobor vies with Juno as the month of weddings. Tho next in im portance to tho marrlago certificate is tho insuraneo policy." And marringo after all is not tbo groatest lottery. "Protection is likely to onco moro beeomo an agitated question in politics. This paper advocates n frco trado in protection of families." Great principle only tho presidents of tho companies furnish tho families, sons-in-law, too." "Some autt&nn loaves turn red doubtless blushing over tho bareness of tbo trees. Your widow may turn pale ovor tho baroness of your estate" Especially If you thought you wero Insured. "Whoro is tho so-called nutocratia power of tho companies They can not insuro a man without his consent. They cannot keep him without his con sent. The man is tho dictator first and lost." No, thoy can only keep tho money bo puts up, nnd kiok for moro. "In tho natural order of things a boy will beeomo a man, but occasion ally tho boy lator becomes a donkey by joining n fraternal order instead of a level premium company." Or ho may got softening of the brain and fall a proy to the McCalU and McCurdys and their ilk.

Tho United States is by far tbo larg est of all the civilized nations except Russia, whieh has about 130,000,000 in habitants. Tho German empire bos CO, 000,000. Austria-Hungary 47,000,000, Japan 47,000,000, France 33,000,000, It aly 38,000,000 and Spain 18,000,000. China has 350,000,000, but she does net count in the calculation of this sort. Owing to tbo rapid growth of the Unit- 'cxl States, the Kngllsh language Is new 'spoken by more persona than use any other civilised tongue. Charles V said ho spoke German to his horse, French to men, Italian to his lady friends, and Spanish to Clod. In his days, threo and a half centuries I ago, Spain was a land on whieh the sun never set, England was only a small 'spot on tho map. and tho Roglisk Ian- fguage held only a minor place in the civilized tongue. Today 130.000,000 speak RogUsh, 100,000,000 speak Russian (for net all the people of the empire talk the na tlonal tongue), 75,000.000 uw German, 70,000,000 eriploy Spanish, including tho Inhabitants of tho Latin-American countries, and 40,000,000 speak French.
