The Telephone Demonstration As was predicted the transcontinental demonstration last night was wonderful. Space between here and Los Angeles was traversed by the human voice with the same facility with which a long distance conversation is carried on between here and Chicago. John Nicholson visiting in Los Angeles spoke to his father, Timothy Nicholson, while Roy Compton, a resident of Los Angeles, for the first time in three years heard the voice of his young brother here. The achievement is so stupendously marvelous that one is overawed with its possibilities. The transcontinental telephone again proved the genius of the American inventor and mechanic. The last century has seen the American supreme in the field of invention. He has excelled in every department perhaps, excepting chemistry in which the German, owing to his peculiar bent of mind, is supreme. Last night's demonstration must have left every one under the impression that in the next few years other forces of nature will be harnessed by the human mind and utilized for our benefit and entertainment. To the 12-6 Club, . The American Telegraph and Telephone Company, and to Mr. W. M. Bailey, manager of The Richmond Home Telephone company, is due a generous expression of thanks.

A Few Items in the Pork Barrel Lovers of pork are getting ready to dump their fat and greasy appropriations into the barrel which they hope to roll through Congress for the final approval of President Wilson. Mississippi towns with 1,000 and 2,000 population want federal buildings costing from $5,000 to $10,000. The town of McKee, Ky., has a population of 146, but it believes itself important enough to have a $75,000 post office. The postal receipts annually are $526. The total cost to the government for federal buildings, appropriations for which are asked in measures introduced in Congress amounts to $100,000,000. The Pittsburg Dispatch has itemized a few of the pieces of pork that some towns and cities want to draw out of the pork barrel. It shows the following: In the Kentucky district represented by Mr. Langley, who sponsors the McKee bill, $75,000 postoffice are also asked for Booneville, 236 population; Salyerville, 310; Whiteburg, 321, and Hindman, S70, or $375,000 for a total population of 1,383. Susan ville, Cal., wants a $60,000 postoffice for 638 people ; Brookville, Fla., a $100,000 one for 979; Dahlonego, Ga., a $50,000 building for 829. Towns of populations ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 vary in their demands. Athens, Ala., thinks it needs a $150,000 building; Hailey, Idaho, $100,000; Seneca, Kan., $50,000; Memphis,

Texas, $75,000; Corning, Iowa, $60,000. Rushville, 111., 2,400 population, would be content with $60,000; Spencer, Ind., with 2,150, wants $1,00,000; Liberty, N. Y 2,072, asks $100,000; Franklin, N. C with 379, asks $75,000; Pembina, N. D., 717, needs $75,000; Coeburn, Va., 645, $50,000; Scott's Bluff, Neb., with 1,746, demands $135,000, and Glasgow, Mont., with 1,158 wants $125,000. Seven hundred buildings are asked for in bills introduced at this session of congress. Should each town and city get what it is asking for, the chances now. are that some hamlets will have federal buildings entirely too large for them, while some of the big centers of population where mails are congested, space at premium, will wait weary months for a change in conditions.

Unreasonable Richmond Says the Indiana Forum concerning Engineer Wier's testimony at the gas hearing in Indianapolis last week: "According to current press reports, Samuel Weir, of Columbus, Ohio, testified before the state public service commission the other day that "demagogues" were responsible for the hostility on the part of the public toward the Richmond Light, Heat & Power company. This company is asking the commission's permission to advance the rate on natural gas from 40 to 70 cents per 1,000 cubic feet. "Richmond is no more hostile toward its gas company than any other city has a right to be when a company asks permission to advance the rate on natural gas from 40 to 70 cents. A demagogue in the vocabulary of a certain class of utility magnates, is a person who doesn't want to be held up in his gas bill. "Manufactured gas is more expensive - than natural gas and yet Indianapolis has manufactured gas for 55 cents per 1,000 cubic feet. Any person who is asked to pay 70 cents for natural gas has a perfectly good excuse for being a demagogue. It is suggested that it is much more profitable to be a demagogue and pay 40 cents for gas than it is to be a sucker and pay 70 cents for gas. "The fact that Mr. Wier, who finds the crop of demagogues unusually heavy in Richmond, placed a valuation on the utility company's holdings which was $300,000 more than the valuation placed on it by the state board's staff, leads us to suspect that his early training and mature sympathy doesn't qualify him to give expert testimony, on demagogues. Furthermore the word is obsolete this year because Bryan isn't running. "We have witnessed public service corporations trying to capitalize most everything in sight, but this is the first time the "public service commission has been asked to consider demagogism as an element in rate-making. "But even if Mr. Wier is correct and the crop of demagogues is unusually large this year in

Richmond, we see no reason for increasing the gas rate. It seems the tendency would be to decrease the rate. Demagogues are notoriously prolific in their production of gas and of course where gas is abundant the rate generally is low. "Now that Mr. Wier has called the commission's attention to it, it is to be hoped that the relation between demagogues and gas rates will

receive exhaustive consideration by the commission before the rate is established. The importance of the question can not be over emphasized. If the presence of demagogues reduces the rate, their culture immediately will become popular in many Indiana cities. On the other hand, if you are right handed, if the presence of demagogues in a city increases the gas rate, the board of health should be called upon to spray the population each fall and spring."

PROPOSES SOLUTION OF BRIDGE "TROUBLE"

Editor Palladium Your recent editorial concerning the proposed new Main street bridge is so pertinent and - appropriate that I feel that the time has come for some one to propose the best . and cheapest method of accomplishing the object in view. Whitewater river is only a very small stream even when at flood and the old wooden bridge offered an ample opening at all times for over fifty years, and one email span over the waterway can be easily, quickly and cheaply constructed. The remainder of the ravine should be filled in with soil and stone requiring about one hundred thousand cubic yards of material and would cost complete about $40,000, and the important part of it all would be that after allowing the contractor a reasonable profit every cent of the cost would go for labor and thus be retained in the vicinity. The old bridge as it now stands would offer an ideal platform from which to dump filling from wagons and from interurban cars. It would even be possible to retain the old roadway. Then again, if this plan was adopted, and the fill brought up to present

level, if some time in the near future the C. & O. railway crossing is removed then more filling can be done and the crossing raised to any desired height which would not be possible with the bridge proposed by engineers. Come now, you people that must pay the expenses, let us have some discussion about filling the ravine with reliable estimates of cost and the fact that work on fill could commence in thirty days and the whole work completed during 1916.

CENTERVILLE, Ind., June 28. XVhen William Rodenberg opened the grain elevator early Monday morning he made the discovery that thieves had been there during the night. He immediately telephoned Mr. Deardorf, proprietor, and investigations were made, showing that they had entered by a door on the second floor, north side, probably placing a ladder to the window next to this door, as the pane was broken, and the door unfastened in this manner. Mr. Deardorf leaves the safe unfastened and keeps only . a small amoun of change in it at all times intending only to keep his books, papers, etc., in it for protection in case of fire. So the thieves had little difficulty in opening the 6afe. Three small drawers on the inside locked with an ordinary key were whittled out and opened. The total amount obtained by them was but $1.58. Mr. Deardorf is not able to ascertain the amount of flour, chicken feed, etc., that may have been taken. This is

a year

the third time within about

that this has occurred. Each time they were able to obtain a small sum, in all amounting to something over ten dollars. Mr. Deardorf has about decided he had better put this "small change" in the bank and purchase a blood hound.
