SAYS TOO MANY LACK CONCERN IN GOVERNMENT Public Service Commissioner Addresses Indiana Telephone Convention. SESSIONS OPEN TODAY “The great trouble ■with us Is that too many of us treat government as the business of others and have no concern to ourselves," said George M. Barnard of the Indiana public service commission, In his address on “Our Government at the opening session of the second annual convention of the Indiana Telephone Association in Indianapolis today. He continued by saying: “We may voluntarily elect to take no part In government and those affairs Which make up onr dally life and to have no concern with the great iss* es that present themselves from time to time to the country ; but no man has any right to take to the enjoyment of his life and the pleasure of those about him the goodness that comes to him from his government and abstain from assisting iu her counsels and doing his part to ward and advance her welfare. CHANGE IN THEORY AND PRACTICE. “The theory and practice of government have vastly (hanged In the progression of time, and especially within the last 150 years. Controlled by superior authority, claiming by divine right, chosen by Inheritance, and supported by a small governing class, selected In the same way, has come with Individual thinking to be oppressive; and men chafing under arbitrary rule have rebelled and thrown ofT the yoke uqtll now men pretty generally over the earth are holding their destinies In their own hands, where, according to onr American way of thinking, they rightfully belong. “Here, in this State Just recently, the people were called upon to say whether or hot certain articles amending the constitution of Indiana should be adopted. It Is a sad and a dangerous commentary upon the future welfare of our cltizenehlp that less than 17 per cent of those entitled to express themselves at that election had enough interest In the vital . questions presented by those amendments to take the trouble to exercise their right ; of suffrage. Our Government is based 1 upon the idea, the majority rules, and In this case by rolemn act which Includes the people. 17 per cent have placed their •will upon S3 per cent of our citizenship. APATHY MENACE TO CITIZENSHIP. ‘‘lt is not the result that makes the difference; It Is the apathy and the refusal and the neglect of the people to participate In their own vital affairs. We should be satisfied with the result, but j we should not be satisfied with the re | suit unless a substantial, at least, part of our citizenship express themselves And therein, let mo repeat, lies the greater menace and danger to our eltl- j zensblp then from any other source what- j soever.” Henry A. Barnhart of Rochester, presl- j dent of the association. In opening the j session, discussed the attitude of chronic complaints and their cure. “I have often found," he said, “that If we can get our chronic complainers i into our operating rooms and in the wirechiefs quarters and see all these employes working hard in behalf of good ■Service It usually makes friends for our j business, and then If the rate opponents | will look at our books Intelligently and candidly we will gain more friends. For they will then see for themselves the truth of our efforts to please them and the profits and losses of our business.” He continued, saying: “The most successful telephone manager I know is one who permits bis patrons to see most of his efforts to give them good .service and what it costs in labor and money to do It. TELEPHONE USE GROWS. “There is one thing certain in th* telephone business, we never will sec a time when we are not busy and when there will not be plenty of business. More and more people, everywhere, are needing and using the telephone. And more and more people are realizing that If they have good service they must pry the worth of it." In speaking of the purpose of the association he said: "The purpose of this organization is betterment of the telephone service and business in Indiana. All of these meetings are held with doors wide open to the public and moat of us have our department heads and chief employes present to assimilate new ideas and put them into practice for the general improvement of operations and) advancement of service giving methods.” The program for today's session of the convention included an address of welcome by Governor Warren T. McCray, with a response by Henry A. Barnhart; tn address by George H. Barnard, ts the Indiana public service eommlesior ; the reports of officers and appointment •f committees, and addresses by F. B.

This revelation came about through a cablegram from the correspondent of the Daily Express, which says: “The United States # does not intend to engage in naval rivalry with Great Britain; the Washington Administration Is willing tacitly to recognize Great Britain's special position as an Island power with enormous raval commitments.” This cablegram brought forth a prompt denial from the British foreign office that there had been any communication wi ll Washington upon the subject. While officials do not speak their minds openly they Indicate that British officialdom feels slighted because It was not more fully Informed regarding the preliminary plans for the conference. It was declared Great Britain cannot appoint her de’egstes until the foreign office has been Informed as to the subjects to be discussed.

PAY CHECK IS THE BAROMETER OF HAPPINESS (Continued From Page One.) and prove* that Judge Thornton’s ad’vice is based upon actual observances. “It takes money to establish a home.” said tha Jurist. “Many buy furniture on time In order to establish a home Other* rent a room In a boarding house. One room is not a home. The wife has nothing to do whan her husband is away at work. It is then tli* natural thing for her to seek reegeation elsewhere. This often leads to Jealousy on the part of the young husband and this Jealousy is followed by bitter quarrels. There Is nothing to hold her In that ’one room' home. She reallaes that she was better off when she was making her own living. And In cases whore the young wife has fallen a victim to walking the streets and there ts a chill, this child often is the cause of serious contention on the part of the young husband. That Is not infrequent. FAILS WHEN HE FALLS SHORT OF EXPECTATIONS. “From my study of the‘divorce evil in cases In this county, 1 am convinced that the greatest cause for divorce Is the failure of the husband to support his wife in the manner and stylo waleh she cxpecte-1. “Even when the wife decides to go out and work after being married, she learns that It is difficult to be a professional woman and maintain her duties at home. Meals are not on time for the husband because she it away from borne during the 'day. She returna home nervou* and generally exhausted from her day's work. This often leads to quarreling. Often *he I* unable to prepare meals which are pleasing to her husband. “In some cases, the wife has refused to keep house end some women have failed to keep the home clean as the husband expected DIRTY DISHES NOT >1 EDII M TO HAPPIN ESS. “■Dirty dishes in the sink figure in many divorces. Ldrty dishes, according to the evidence, dee* not tend to produce happiness In a home. ’ Judge Thornton advises young men to prepare for marriage by creating a snr ings account by laying away each week what might be called a ’nest’’ fund to be used in obtaining and furnishing a home. A savings account will relieve the strain on the pocketbook during the first years of married life The court has observed that when a young husband takes his bride into their own home that such coupb s rarely appear in the divorce courts The court has obs"rved that in a third of the divorce complaints filed recently that the allegations bus been made that the wife or the husband associates with Immoral characters. “That is a common allegation to find in divorce complaints,” Judge Thornton ! states.

Tax Dodgers Get Billion Each Year From Uncle Sam

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. —Tax dodgers are getting away 'with ipore than one billion dollars every year that ought to go into the United States Treasury. That’s one reason treasury officials and members of Congress admitted today why the rest of the American people are called on to bear such heavy tax burdens. It also Is the reason Congress proposes certain changes In the tax law. to plug tax leaks through which millions of dollars yearly are lost. If Uncle Sam could collect every year what he loses because of “tax free securities,” he would have to levy SIOO,009.000 to $J,000.0(X).000 less in taxes on other things, It is agreed. The tax free securities represent the greatest aid to tax dodging by the rich. It is variously estifat.ed that there are from $14,000,000,009 to $34,000,009,000 of them outstand-

CONTROVERSY OVER TREATY OF 190-1. The Bolivian statement grew out of the controversy with Chile over the TacnaArlca treaty of 1904, which Bolivia wishes the league to revise. Chile contends that the league ha* no right to act and that lnteuventlon by the league might be constvued as a violation of the Monroe doctrine. The Bolivian delegation announced first that it had communicated with Washington* and that the American Government had made it known that it did not oppose Bolivia’* appoal to the league. Later the Bolivians said they did not recognize the Monroe doctrine in the present case at all. The telegram from the Bolivian government followed.

W'MMS. • \ Ax\J,l I Little Children' Brighten Homes EVERY young couple starting out in life has visions of joyful hours spent before the fireside with healthy, happy children; but, alas, how often young women who long for children are denied that happiness because of some functional derangement which may be corrected by proper treatment. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is just the medicine for these conditions, as the following letters show:

Yf c Donald,Ohio. —“I suffered from i v * a displacement, a weakness, and a great deal of pain. The doctor said nothing would help me but an operation. He said I could never have any children because I was too weak. “ I had often heard of Lydia E. Tinkham’s Vegetable Compound, so I tried it and it helped me. Now I am in the best of health, do all of my own work, and have a lovely boy six months old. I recommend your medicine to my friends and you have my permission to use this letter.”— Mrs. J. C.

Tax grafting and stealing laid mostly at the door of small merchants selling taxable articles who fail to turn In the I or 2 cent taxes on candy, Ice cream cones and similar articles. 2.
