The Parrot declares the pro-Ger
man vote to be responsible for the
recent democratic holcast. Reason
ing along this line one would of ne
cessity reach the conclusion that the
pro-German considered Sheriff Duffy
less patriotic that the other demo
cratic candidates.
The problem of what to do with the
soldiers about to be discharged need
not worry the government as far as it
applies to Holt county. The corn
fields of the county are awaiting the
boys and many of these same fields
are owned by those in the service.
Holt county can re-absorb its entire
quota without oversupplying the labor
demand.
The thanks of the entire community
are due Mayor P. D. Mullen for his
untiring energy in enforcing, regard
less of the prejudiced opposition of a
few, the rigid quarantine against in
fluenza. Mayor Mullen started in
even before the government took a
hand and has maintained an effective
quarantine without fear or favor and
apparently oblivious of press and
other attacks. As a result the number
of new cases is steadily decreasing
and many owe their lives to the dili
gence of the mayor.
O’Neill soon may have a third news
paper. Democratic leaders are dis
cussing plans for the organization of
i a stock company to publish a weekly
newspaper,, to be the official organ of
. the party in Holt county. It is the in
tention to equip the new plant with
an extensive job departmer.' and with
modern machinery. Lead.: 3 long
have felt the need of a medium
through which to promulgate the
party doctrines and believe that some
of the ticket might have been saved
at the last election had they been
properly equipped with a publicity de
partment. The new sheet probably
will start soon after the first of the
year and will have a guaranteed sub
scription list of 1,000 or more to be
gin with. It will be known as the Holt
County Democrat, will be published at
O’Neill and will fearlessly and con
sistently advocate the principles of
the late Thomas Jefferson.

Only One-Fourth ef American
Telephone Exchanges Are
. Bell Owned or Controlled
Of the 21,700 telephone
exchanges in the United
States, only 5,400 or about
25 per cent, are owned by
the Bell System.
The Bell System, composed of 37 associated companies,
does not seek universal ownership of the telephone. It does,
however, encourage the connection of all the telephone sys
tems in the country with each other so that communication be
tween any two telephones in the nation will be possible.
In addition to 9,129 independent telephone companies in the
United States operating 16,300 exchanges, there are 22,000 mutual
telephone associations of farmers with 1,400,000 rural telephones.
The United States today has over 11,700,000 telephones, or
more than all the rest of the world combined, and the service is
the best and cheapest given anywhere.
No single telephone organization can claim the credit for the
magnificent showing made in this country. Every telephone com
pany, large and small, Bell owned, independently owned or a mu
tual association, is entitled to its full share of the credit.
