Aldermen who are anxious to learn
the truth ought to inquire into the de-
tails Of the passage OF the telephone

Well. there are some pretty ugly
rumors going the rounds Just now.
But the Mayor. Corporation Counsel

"That Is q matter that cannot

The Chicago Telephone Company
charges a much lower rental for its
service In suburban towns than It
does in the city. Yet the officers Of
the corporation have the gall to say
that all OF the big gain In its service
reported at the annual meeting this
year came from the country. This. Of

cient.
The ordinary person In attempting
to telephone to railroad passenger
station, for example, is likely to ask
for the wrong number for the purpose
OF his call, for SO confusing Is the
array Of titles and numbers in the
telephone directory that 1t is often
difficult to decide upon the department
that Is wanted. Frequently the infor.
nation bureau at a railroad station,
when appealed to, refers the inquirer
to another telephone number in the
same building. This necessitates the
payment of a second toll. Telephone
operators are careful to prevent the
second call from being made without
the payment OF a second nickel.
Both the railroad companies and the
telephone company should do their
best to see that the arrangement of
department names in the telephone dl.
rectory Is sufficiently clear to enable
inquirers to call the first time for
the number they really want.
The city ought to have bureau OF
complaints to which appeals for the
improvement OF faulty conditions OF
service might be made by patrons OF
local public utility corporations.

TAFT ADDRESSES
LOYAL GOVERNORS
Fiftieth Anniversary of Their
Meeting Celebrated at
Altoona.
PROSPERITY
Believes Individual Happiness
Now Highest in Worlds
History.

Altoona, Pa. September 25.-Presi-
dent Taft was the principal speaker
day at Altoona's celebration OF the
ffueth anniversary OF the meeting
Of the loyal war Governors. who de-
cided that Abraham lincoln and his
war policy should be upheld and his
call for more troops should be met
promptly with volunteers.
Through that meeting and those
which followed, the President declared
that there entered into the soul OF
Lincoln the feeling that he had ma
ton behind him and that the cause
he was engaged in was worthy OF their
lives and their fortunes. and also the
high resolve that he proposed to hght
out the battle and bring back the
erring sisters into the Union"
The fourteen loyal Governors who
supported Lincoln in the dark days
OF '62, the President called heroes. who
did not advertise the deeds they were
about to do. who made no use OF puts
and ifs" but who said. We'll see you
through"
The Presidents speech dealt almost
entirely with the conference OF the
war Governors. but he reserved a SEN
tence or two for prosperity talk. Dis
cussing prosperity the President said:
"one hundred millions OF people.
100000 between the oceans and TO-
600. 900 in our ocean dependencies. con-
stitute our population and to-day right
in the harvest time We are garnering
crops that make possible the greatest
prosperity that ever faced this coun-
try. and We are to-day where every
man and every woman can have work
II they will. when wages are the
highest and the individual happiness
of every ono averages higher than
ever before.
u dwell on that fact to-day. borne in
children that filed by me this morn
ing evidencing happy. comfortable
homes. and moral teaching in the
schools and in the homes. It is be-
cause this is the hftieth anniversary
of day as different in respect OF the
happiness of our people and OF the
prospect before them as day is from
night. Fifty years ago tonight we
were in the throes OF rebellion the
like Of which had never been seen in
the world before, and I hope may
never be seen in the world again"
The President left late to-day for
Beverly. He expected Chairman
Hilles. Of the Republican National
Committee to board his private car at
Harrisburg and make the Journey
North to help him discuss New Eng
land politics with Republican leaders
there.
The President spoke to-day within
the canvass walls Of big tent. Al
though the weather had been threat
ening all day the crowd was large,
and applauded frequently. Mr.. Taft
was introduced by Governor Tener, of
