CANADA AND THE TELEPHONE
The 450 local• Canadian telephone
companies, have tonna that they
are able to furnish good telephone
service and pay dividends of from
six to ten per cent, per annum on
the necessary capital invested.
Some are paying as high as fifteen
and even twenty per cent on their
capital stock, and in the end, as the
population increases, they will
find great value in the franchises
which they have developed and
held. To say that this work will
not be generally taken up and ex-
tended all over Canada, even as it,
has been in the United States, is to
say that the Canadian people are
slow, and lack enterprise, that they
do not recognize the opportunities
for investment, and have no inter-
est in the advancement of the cony
munity in which they live ; for no
investment of an equal amount
does so much for the social and
business advantages of a commu-
nity as does the telephone. Fu.rruers
especially are benefitted by its use.
Many a iong and dreary drive is
saved. In case of accident, of fire,
of sickness, in need of help or in-
formation, the telephone is your
ready, willing servant. It saves
time, saves money, eliminates dia.
tante, increases your earning capa-
city and places you in command of
ready means of communication
with ,your entire community ; and
all of this for a mere pittance each
year ih'the form of rental and a
small profitable Investment in the
way of capital account with which
to pay for the installation of the
syetem, This money, with which
to install the local service, is usual-
ly supplied by the residents of the
community in which the independ-
ent system is being installed. Thia
is as it should be. Each locality
should build and control its own
telephone system, and manage to
suit the local needs. As above
stated, the investment -will prove
permanently safe and profitable,
and your locality will bo greatly
benefitted* * * * Experience has
shown that the telephone business
and telephone securities suffer leas
in times of financial depression
that of any other public ser-
vice corporation, the reason being
that the investment per individual
user is small ; depreciation is light ;
and the further fact thetit when a
person is once accustomed to the
use and benefits of telephone ser-
vice, that person will always insist
upon employing the same on me -
count of the convenience and great
economy afforded. It is therefore
safe to make the investment, as it
will prove permanently profitable
and the financing of the various
local companies is not difficult or
hazardous * ' * * The commercial
and industrial development of
Canada during the past few veers
is almost without earallel in then
world's history, evliile in every
part of the Dominion, present con
cli.tiens point to an expansion in the
fnture so vast that it is difficult for
the average mind to estimate its
proportions, This development
comes only with added population.
Added population means added
telephones, and with this in view +
and the advantages which are offer -1 we submit the following state-
ment of independent telephone con-
ditions in the United States for the
consideration of thoughtful resid-
ents of Canada, where the indepen-
dent telephone movement has tak-
en firm hold and will surely deve-
lop in equal proportions. "Phe tele
phone field, although one of our
most modern industries. is one of
the largest and most important,
and it is most olosely connected:
with the daily life and business
affairs of the nation. 'While electric
light. gas and street railway plants
are to be found only in the larger
cities, telephone systems cover al-
most every town and village and
are rapidly spreading over the
ruralcommunities, as well. The
independent telephone field alone
represents some ;,500,000,000 of in -
Vested capital ttnd embraces over -
7
15.000 companies, operating 20,000
erahangen' aend employing over
200,000 n)ei), "it expends $550,000,-
000 ennealliy for apparatus end
sat/plies, while its employes devote
as much more to their personal
requirements and a like amount to
their families ,and homes: Thera
aro fewer ftxil''res among telephone
companies tinen'there are of nation-
al ban las,—io:fact, throughout the
hardest tunes, they experienced
bat few reverses, and tbo majority
paid as good or better dividends
than before. Over 100 new compan-
ies aro organized every month, and
this ratio is expected to increase
rather than diminish during the
prosperous tires to come The cin•
ployees of the eiephone field aro
men of 'ability, well paid, well
clothed, well f >ul, and, well housed.
They buy for themselves and their
homes all of the commodities and
luxuries whferle ordinarily appeal to
intelligent and prosperous mei. of
affairs," The' retnunera tive feature
of the independent telephone in-
dustry is one tlt:.t has not hitherto
received the atti inion from Cana-
dian business ;nt):., which its im
portanoe merit.: The following
points are snggostecl as being of
it terest :. 1 Ths telephone requires
a smal]er investment per capita to
serve a commasits than any other
utility. 2 A node= telephone
plant is more permanent, less liable
to deterioration through mechani-
cal, motion then any other public
utility, therefore the cost of main-
tenance and]eprecietion is ]ower.
3 It has beef demonstrated by ex-
perience in t" United States, dur-
ing recent years, that the growth
of the busind)il':.3 and earnings of LL
telepiaone company are little affeet-
ed during periods of financial de-
pression. 4 4s a permanent invest-
ment there Ino business which
can appeal so favorably to the
public as a modern telephone sys-
tem. 5 An in:lependont telephone
system affords an opportunity for
local people to control their own
service, and it has been fully de
monstrated that with modern
methods of oonslauction and exis-
ting types of apparatus, a group of
average business men in any town
or village can establish a telephone
system and carry on the undertak-
ing more economically and to the
greater satisfaction of the public
than any monopolistic corporation
has ever snceeeked in doing.
The foregoing was taken from a
Pamphlet recently published by the

THE CRY OF THE TWO-THIRDS
"Men thought concerning slain
cry before Lincoln put his pen to
the proclamation of • Elnanoipni
tion," said Keith on the spur of
the moment. Mr. Crosby pooped,
"A. wholly different thing," lie
said. "This appetite is inherent
in Men. It is not something winch
he liossessea, but something
which
possesses pini, and it must be
satisfied, Sirioe the stuff will bo
sold, must be manufactured, and
some' one is bound to get rich by
the process, why should not von
make the profit as well as • some•
body else?" "It is not the profit
side of this thing that I am con-
sidering," answered the. young
man. "No, 1 thought not," dryle.
"But the loss side," continuer) the
gentleman. not noticing the in-
terruption. • ',Why should any
man lose life. property, position,
reputation theough men? No. sir,
I wash my hands off the dirty
business. If anybody enjoys it let
hirn pursue it, but he must not
lopk to me for either sympathy or
support. I'm not over and above
concienttous, but I cannot and
will not manufacture whisky."
"Quite a reformer you would make
it yon would but follow the role."
Mr. Crosby could not refrain from
miring. "Think so?" carelessly.
"I differ with eon ; I'm not made
up that way, 1 fear but I'll reform
myself ; that I'm able to do. You
will oblige mo by getting rid of
the stock at once." "Certainly,
certainly," responded the man of
law sauvely. If any one could
afford to nurse such notions it was
this young man, but he gave him
a parting word of counsel as be
bowed him out. "Mr. Weswick,
I would not dissect my life if I
were you. Teo +.'1:':t; r:o'ntin; of
almost anything discloses flaws.
Only death submits to dissection."
WIth this advice still in his ears
Keith turned the corner and his
eyes were confronted by these
words." Choice wines. ales, and
liquors. Snyder, Grimes & Co. Re
started as if something had pierc-
ed him. Back to his mind came
the conversation that memorable
night in his mother's drawing
room and the tones of Mr. Myers
quiet voice. A sentence hardly
noticed at the time way now faith-
fully reproduced. "The owner
lets his building to the highest
bidder, asking no question to the
purpose for which itis hired lest
it prove unpleasant. Why is not
hata pat -tiger in the crime?" "Why?
Why. not? The query repeated
itself over and over in his brain;
his very footsteps seemed reiterat
ing the question to his weary ears,"
"Why not?" That night he pen-
ned a few lines to his lawyer.
Which ran thus : "I leave the
city to -morrow. Will you please
inform Messrs. Synder, Grimes
& Co , when their lease runs out,
that it cannot be renewed at any
price. I believe I heard something
about that other fellow on D.—
streetlenving, By all mean:: en-
courage hitn to go. We will close
the promises if neeessaay, but rio
property of mine can ever be hired
again for liquor dealing in any
form. "Keith Fessenden Wes -
wick," "rny ! but he has taken it
hard !" muttered Mr. Crosby as ho
read this note the other day.
Keith had said to himself grimly'
as he signed arid sealed it the
night before, "well, what next, I
wonder? I'm a pretty uncomfort
able person to live with these
days. it must be my conscience
is sprouting." Sometime before
his mother learned of these matters
and then they were away from
home. A single sentence in ono of
Mr. Crosby's letters led to an ex-
planation, She looked with real
distress into her sun's fall. "Keith,
I hate fanatioism above all things."

of the word, but we all knoit is
the result of prejudice and i„ nor

common people." His voice rang
out merrily. "Then I deny your
implied. charge in toto, mama,"
he said. "For to begin where you
left off, I'm not common people ;
but the son of one of the first
ladies in the land,', bowing
mockingly, "and my new depart-
ure instead of being the result of
ignorance, and the off spring of
knowledge and run counter to
every prejudice of my life and
education." Be was bonding
over her, his blue eyes full of
mirth. '•iiut you know, Keith,
that really nice people sometimna
imbibe there notions. Perhaps,
my definition 'was too sweeping,
Now. eatere is Eleanor Myers,"
looking steadily at her son as she
uttered that name, as if expecting
him.to wince, lie showed no sign,
if- his heart fluttered, and she went
on, "we trust admit that she is
intelligent and gifted and highly
born, but she is fanatical •on some
points, notably temperance. In•

far if it goes at all, and its weight,

the gentleman gayly. "Admit,
