This Is Worth Watching.

It seems to us that It might be a good thing for the dtisens of Richmond to satisfy themselves as to v hat Is going on in another city. The city is Indianapolis and the matter that we mention is the telephone situation. The matter has not developed far enough for The Palladium to be Certain whether it will affect the citizens of this city or not. Possibly it majr not. If not this will be practically the only city in the state that is not affected. At the present time the Bell Telephone company and the so-called Independent company of Indianapolis are seeking to consolidate. A franchise waa presented to the Board ot Worl s of Indianapolis yesterday containing plans for this action. Citizens may well inquire what concern it la of Richmond that this consolidation should take place. Richmond bad but one telephone company. The nature of the telephone industry makes it more especially than any other public utility operation a "natural monopoly." There must be persons with long enough memory to know the decided advantages in having but one telephone in the house. If the merger is effective in Indianapolis it mar be supposed that If Indianapolis folk are satisfied with it that they know their own business. Practically all the communication in Indiana is bound up geographically with Indianapolis. Trade, transportation and communication radiates from the center of the state like the holding threads of a spider web. The situation then is that for all transportation, traffic, trade and communication Indianapolis is the center. Naturally if the Bell telephone company in Indianapolis Is in control of the situation in Indianapolis in such fashion as to control it to an unfair advantage the independent lines of telephone in this state will be put in a position by which they must become tributaries or even the property, by confiscation, of the Bell company. This movement in Indianapolis is but part of a concerted effort all over the United States for the A. T. & T the American Telegraph and Telephone company to gather in all tha important centers and tributaries. The A. T. & T. is a Morgan venture. The movement is sound economically and may be successfully defended in theory and In practice with one proviso, which is bound to be born from this movement REGULATION BY STATE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSIONS AND THE -UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT.

Now what has Richmond to dp with this? We have reason to doubt whether there will be unfair discrimination against the telephone company in this city. We hope not. Some years ago this company made an agreement which satisfied the directors of the Home Telephone company. The Bell withdrew from the local field and made an arrangement by which its long distance could use the local connections. Wishing the local public utility no hardship, and believing In its capacity for foresight as evldenced by Its merger, we should like to believe that this company will not be cut off from the outside world unless it surrenders For that is precisely what will happen, as a result of the Indianapolis franchise merger (if it is consumated), to all the companies which have not stretched a net under themselves. Now it may be that the local company can assure its stockholders that they will suffer no loss. It may also be that the local company can assure its patrons that they will not suffer locally. But can it be truthfully said that every call that goes through the Indianapolis exchange will be safeguarded? What If Richmond Is safeguarded and is the only town in the state not Interested in this telephone merger what do citizens here think of the advisability of any longer doing without a public utilities commission? We are possibly depending on the integrity, and at least on the wisdom of the officials of the Indianapolis city government, and Marion County and Indianapolis have not the best reputation in the world for freedom from many of the greatest dangers to public welfare.

This merger can be defended on the ground of the wisdom of natural monopoly that Is sound in all public utility measures, and apparently an Irresistible impulse, like the law of gravitation BUT IT IS ONLY SOUND IN THAT THERE MUST BE REGULATION. ' We are mighty glad that this telephone question has -come up. IP this telephone business is hung up at this time there will be such a Ight that THE ONLY WAY OUT OP IT WILL BE A PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION IN INDIANA. We shall have one powerful Interest arrayed against the other desiring a fair court. If it does go through and the expected Injustice becomes real there will be an irresistible demand from all over the state for a public utilities commission. It is a good thing to watch.

A Quioker Process. A story Is told of a certain famous Inventor who Is fortunate enough to be able to employ a large staff of engineers and mathematicians to aid him In the solution of knotty problems. Some time ago the inventor desired to And the cubic capacity of a .certain vessel of unsymmetrlcal proportions and asked his mathematicians to solve the problem. . As the story goes, the mathematicians spent weeks of time, filled whole books with their calculations and finally presented what they said was a close approximation to the true result. Thereupon the famous Inventor placed the vessel on a platform scale, filled It to the brim with water, obtained Its weight when full and when empty, and in a few minutes he had o result as good as the mathematicians for that particular vessel.

Far down the West a wall of sullen aray Looms slowly up against the wintry sky; The shivering- trees In terror bend and sway; One lone dead leaf Is caught and swirled on high. The wind's dull sighing changes to a moan. The frightened whisper of the naked trees Throbs gloomily into a monotone Then changes to a thousand shrieking keys. Still nearer looms the cloud of sullen Sray. The daylight changes to an ashen hue, A mystic silence falls upon the day And then the wind's weird song begins anew. The people In the street go quickly home. The children at the windows peer without-Then like the first fair flakes of flying foam The anow leapa down and dancea roundabout. It folds the wailing treea In velvet robes, It swirls in wondrous drifts along the hill. It hangs from eaves in white gigantic lobes. It drapes the overhanging window sill, Acroaa the valleya charge the wind-blown troops Of winter, pelting anowflakes through the airOne hears the chorus of their shrieking whoops And sees the tattered banners that they bear. And ao .the world la conquered; and the night Comes on while still the trumpets of the wind Call up the swift batalllons all in white That all the while have waited far behind. And they pass on; the stars come trembling high And aa celestial anowflakes glint and gleam Above the silent world that far and nigh In ivorled stillness holds its peaceful dream. - (Of all sad words that ever have been writ By punching at the keys, or with a pen, Aa Whittier once summed it up; to-wit: The aaddest words are these: "It might have been.")

KILL SHARKS FOR FUN. Kanakas Can Whip the Man Eaters In Fair Fight. In the Pacific ocean lives a race of meu who outswim fish and who can kill man eating sharks in a fair fight They are Kanakas, the seamen who are natives of the Hawaiian Islands. "A native can whip a shark because he can outswim him," states an American who has been living in the islands many years. "1 never heard of a native being injured by a shark, and there is a superstitltion among them that a shark is afraid of a Kanaka and will refuse to fight This is not true, however, and grew out of the fact that a native always whips a shark. A Kanaka will spy a shark and. taking a knife between his teeth, dive in after him. It Is a fair fight, because the shark has teeth that are as deadly as the knife. The shark will make for the swimmer, and when it is in range will flop suddenly on its side, which position Is necessary before It can use its powerful Jaws to crush an enemy. As the shark turns the native will sink rapidly and come up and rip the creature open with a quick slash of the knife. Sometimes they will nroid the shark time after time, cutting it on the nose and pricking It to arouse Its anger. "For excitement it outthrllls a bull flght" Detroit Free Press.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY SOME WILD-CAT RAILROADING. y A. W. MACY. . Some remarkable railroads were built In this country on paper during the years 1S31S40, Ons of the most ambitious v-as -The Great Western RslW road," projected to run from N w York city to Lake Erie, anc thence westward e the Mi cieainpl river, a di.tanee of aout 1 0V mil, a. It was to be built on piling, and .he total cost was estimated at $15,000 COO. Great enthusiasm prevailed and much excitement. Lands were receive J for subscriptions at extravagant prices. Cities were stakeo out at various pona slong the proposed route. Some people even .'eared that all the land adjacent to the roa. would be occupied by cities and none be let for farming purposes. Numerous other roads were projected to the north and to the south, to connect with this great trunk line, snd "terminal cities" of magnificent proportions were laid out. One state legislature (Illinois) plan, ned the construction of 1,300 miles of "state railroad," to cost ever a billion dollars. More than $8,000,000 were actually appropriated for Internal Improvements, snd when Governor Ford took office In 142 there was hardly enough unappropriated money In the state treasury to buy a postage stamp.

(Ccpy right, 1811, by Joseph B. Bowles.) Dermatologist Gives Complexion Secret The great secret of keeping the face young is to keep off the dead cujticle." said Dr. J. Mortimer Mitchell, jtbe noted English dermatologist, now visiting this country. "It Is well known that the surface skin Is constantly dying, falling off in imperceptible particles, except in some diseased conditions, when the same appear like dandruff. But the particles do not drop off immediately tbey die, being held for awhile by the live skin. "To have the dermatological surgeon peel off the entire cuticle at one time is a painful and expensive operation. The same result is obtained by applying ordinary mercolised wax, as you would cold cream. One ounce is sufficient The process is both .painless and inexpensive. The wax, procurable at your drug stores, hastens the natural shedding process. It gradually absorbs the dead and half-dead skin, revealing the new, healthy, youthful looking skin beneath."
