BEVE RIDGE'S VICTORY. The ground swell of the wave that won Hiram Johnson the victory in carrying Lake county during the last presidential primaries was felt on Tuesday and it was strong enough to --sweep the county for Albert J. Beveridge. It was evidence that the followers of the great California progressve had not forgotten the sting they sustained when Johnson lost the state and that they are heart and soul for Indiana's great progressive. We may be wrong but we do not believe ; that the voters in Indiana deserted Senator New because of anything personal they felt against - him. The party in power always has a hard row to hoe and Senator New was made the " goat of the administration. Every man who felt resentment politically because he fancied . . politics was. responsible for his business, his taxes, his failure to get beer and for a dozen other reasons blamed the republican party en- : ; throned at Washington and Senator New had to bear the brunt of it. This feeling was mani- . " fested in Lake county and it was manifested all over the state. The large vote in the rural dis- - tricts showed that the farmers were displeased . with economic conditons and the small vote in the industrial centers supposed to be for New, were determining factors in the battle. .. . , Senator New represented his constituents at Washington with admirable energy and faithfulness. Nobody can doubt that. He has been an honor to the state. Neither can anyone doubt but what Mr. Beveridge will give all that is in him to Indana when he is elected and we will all be for him at the November hustings.
an influential and impressive numerical nucleus on which to build the majorty necessary to pass the bill. The opposition will doubtless come from senators representing states west of the Mississippi, where publi sentiment traditionally has favored comparatively small expenditures for the army and navy establishments. Unless all signs fail, this opposition will not develop sufficient strength, either in votes or in force of argument, to cause the supporters of the bill any real uneasiness. ' The suggestion that night sessions are to be held in the senate to consider both the navy and the army appropriation bills would seem to indicate a disposition not only to faclitate the enactment of these two great supply bills, but also ti keep open the right of way for uninterrupted consideration of the tariff and bonus legislation.
FOR THE TREATY NAVY. Legislative breakers that so seriously endangered the passage of the naval appropriation bill in the house in the form acceptable to the administration do not threaten in the senate. The sailing appears to be reasonably clear. An early canvass of the senate is said to show a safe margin for the minimum of 86,000 personnel, f exclusive of officers. This is the figure understood to be satisfactory to the administration. Advocates of an appropriation bill which will make it possible for the United States to maintain the treaty navy on the 5-5-3 basis, in accordance with the agreement with Great Britain and Japan reached in the "Washington conference, confidently count on the united support of senators representing the Atlantic and : Pacific coast states. This group alone comprises
WAR, THE DECEIVER The conference at Genoa does not promise great thigs. Perhaps when it is over the best that will be said of it will be that it made beginnings. It brought together representatives of nations that have not met around a council table for many years. There is at least something gained in that. The problems discussed are momentous, but the spirit manifested has not been good. There is too much of craft and cunning; too much of bitterness and selfishness; too little willingness to make concessons; too many survivals of the evil genius of the old diplomacy which reckons in cliques and combinations, and both fears and trusts balances of power. There is little to be hoped from such muddling. A chastened Europe might have been expected at least to have gained a little common sense from the experience of the last eight years. And yet such is the futility of war that it even seems to deprive its victims of the power to profit by its chastisements. The most ordinary common sense exercised by any impartial obesrver would give advice something like this: "You peoples of Europe struggling to recover from the terrible scourge of war need more than anything else to co-operate with one another. Seeking prosperity separately and at the expense of each other not one of you will find it. But co-operating with your remaining resources you may restore all. You need trade with each other. You need each other's products and each other's services. You have in the combined holdings of all, all .that you need. Individually you must remain in poverty and want." But there is not in all the world a voice to speak these simplest words of wisdom, and were the advice given, it would not be received in seriousness by .any one in authority in Europe. . Such potency has war to deprive mankind of reason. . -

Unlike Any Other Business Number 5 in a series of statements by the Illinois Bell Telephone Company The telephone business is different from any other business in the world. ..... ,. ; - m It is not only privileged to serve it is obligated to serve. The services of the Telephone Company may often have a value to subscribers which it is almost impossible to measure with a money standard. The economic principles which govern other business are absolutely reversed in the telephone business.
For example: Its cost of doing business increases out of proportion to the increased revenue The larger the p'ant grows, the more it costs to serve each sub-' scriber. ' This will seem strange to you, but we have found it to be fundamental fact in the telephone business. A telephone plantwith 3,000 subscribers, at a given rate for service, might be operating at a profit. With more than 5,000 subscribers, at the same rate for service, it might be losing money I Another difference is that a telephone plant is NEVER complete. It is ALWAYS growing. A telephone company "is required to furnish adequate and efficient service to the public, according to the state of the art at the time the serv-
ice is performed." It must " adopt new inventions as they arise, make extensions and improvements of its plant when necessary and required for the convenience of the public." In no science has there been greater development and progress than in telephony. Improvements and refinements are constantly occurring. Equipment and apparatus which are perfectly good and usable arc regularly being "scrapped" to make way for other equipment and apparatus that will give BETTER service. It is a fact, though not generally realized, that because of the intricate work of wiring, about one-half of- the cost of any piece of telephone equipment is for LABOR. When that particular equipment is "scrapped," one-half of the cost is absolutely lost. The labor is gone, and canntot be salvaged;
The plant operated by the Illinois Bell Telephone Company in Hammond is thoroughly modern in every way. There has been constant improvement. Improvements and extensions are in progress every day. Have you ever wondered how such a service could possibly be rendered at the price you are paying?
