Damage Solts May Be Instituted Owners of Cattle aa a Revolt.
By
The Times' story of the recent teat and examination of the two cows which had been pronounced Infected with tuberculosis by the state experts, and which were killed for the purpose of further examination by local veterlnarians. has aroused considerable Interest and It is Bald that probable further tests and killing: of tagged animals will be made In an effort tq ascertain whether the animals were really Infected. "What the outcome of the whole proceeding will be Is not known, but It has been noised around that some damage suits might accrue by those who have lost considerable money and valuable animals through the decision of the experts, in the event f their stock being found In a healthy condition. 4
Evidence Still Being Heard. V The SImon-Wickey contest Is still on
the boards at the commissioners court
room with Judges Fisher and Kelland
of East Chicago hearing the evidence for the depositions to be sent to the
legislature. Charles Surprise was sub
Jected to a further grilling by Attorney
Seyfrled. and has been ordered to sub mit the records of his office In evl dence, but whether this will be com
plied with remains a matter of conjecture, as It Is safe that he has received learned Instructions as to the
position to be taken in the matter of removing said books. Republican County Chairman Schaaf was also ex
amined by the counsel for Simon, but his testimony lent scant aid to the democratic cause, in fact, added a great deal of strength to the opposition. It
was brought out that the democratic party leaders also did a great deal of
connering and were pulling to get the "Hunky" vote and up to a week be
fore election practically had things all
landed up for a democratic . victory. After questioning Schaaf at length,
Charles Surprise was again called and the session ended with the deputy United States commissioner In the chair
It is said at the present rate that the taking of the deposition may consume nearly three wekes' time, but if the democratic cause does not make more gains than it has recently, the leaders
will wish they had never heard of contest.

CMcago Doesn't Want Competition,
The city of Chicago does not wan
and will not submit to competition in
telephone service. It wants one service, and It wants that service the best, and it has full power to get and keep what it wants.
The proposal of the Independent com
panies made to the committee on gas,
oil, an delectric light as reported in The Tribune of Friday, is In effect
this: that we shall accept the confusion worse confounded of telephone com
petition within the city and receive In compensation the privilege of long dis
tance service with Independent systems outside Of the city.
The bargain deserves no considera
tion. ' It is worthless for two sufficient reasons. First, the maintenance of two telephone system In the city
will not" be ' tolerated for a moment.
As other cities know, it is a nuisance
without a redeeming feature. It Is be
yond reason costly in money, time, and
patience. The business community
would not tolerate and the great mass of telephone users could not afford It
The telephone is not only, a natural
monoply. It is an inevitable mon opoly.
The community is already served by
an extensive system which is first in
the field, and perhaps for that reason
in some sense deserving of such prior consideration as the public interest
allows.
Meanwhile, the Illinois Tunnel com
pany has been unwilling or unable to develop its promised competing system a most fortunate circumstance both
for itself and the community.
The city has suffered too much, and
it is still suffering from the costly con
fusion of our transportation systems
It Is no mood to be preclpated into
a dilemma having even less justifies
tion or excuse. .. Unification of " public
service under'' wise and thorough regu
latlon is the watchword of our time
There is no field where it is so plainly true as this of the telephone, and the
Illinois Tunnel company's franchise
problem must be solved. Chicago

He practices at night only. He found that so many night cases coming da the top of his office hours and visits
wore him out, so he determined, to save his energy for the night work, which paid best anyway. He says he finds patients prefer having a doctor who is fresh and wide awake instead of one who is tired out after a da.v' work.
