We trust that Col, Roosevelt will
be able to stick to what he says is
his wish, He does not want to raise
/ personal issue with the president,
He wants their competitive cam
paigns for the Republican nominal

and not Of personality. That Is a
commendable desire, and we repeat
that we hope Col. Roosevelt will be
able to keep it in mind at all stages
of the campaign. *'

do more than hope. Col Roosevelt,

THE AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE.
For good many years the Chicago
public had ample opportunity to OBJ
serve what telephone monopoly meant
In the way Of service.
The rates had been raised several
times-and threats Of another raise
were being made. There was talk Of
abolishing certain forms Of residence
service. The public was treated with
scant courtesy. There were intermin.
able delays In changing old phones
and installing new ones.
Then came the automatic telephone.
bringing with It the much needed
spur Of competition.
What happened?
Immediately the utmost efforts to
improve the manual service were
made.
But II 10 a cold, hard fact that these
efforts have been to q large degree
unsuccessful It IL simply a physical
impossibility to make manual service
come anywhere near the remarkable
efficiency Of the automatic.
The reason is obvious. The auto

telephone principle.
It has eliminated the huge cost and
great uncertainty Of the human
operator
It has made telephoning secret
quick. low In cost.
On the Automatic telephone Q ma

There are no bitches. no delays. nc

Automatic telephone service has 70
ceived q tremendous welcome In Chi
cago. Automatic service has doubled
and doubled again until over 100000
calls per day are being handled.
