The people are entitled to lower
telephone rates.
The aldermen have q chance to help
out their constituents and save money
for them in this direction.
Will they do It?
On page 81 Of the annual report Of
the Bell Telephone system for 1912
we hnd the following ingenious state
ment excusing the raising Of rates:
wherever these rates have been
increased It has been done BY and
with the consent Of the subscribers
to the exchanges. and with the direct
authority or acQuiescence Of the pub
lie authorities"
This 10 certainly good. II would
be safe guess to say that the "con.
sent Of the subscribers" was never
asked but that rates were raised
with the direct authority or acQuiss.
cence Of the public authorities"
Are the public authorities Of the
city Of Chicago going to acquiesce in
q raise Of telephone rates?

II the Council abolishes the fiat
telephone rate for the reason that the
telephone trust asks 1t to abolish 1t,
then the Council should order the
company to give rebate Of two cents
upon every fve.cent call. The tele.
phone trust complains that fiat rate
phones increase its burden 25 per
cent. That users Of fiat rate phones
only pay one and half cents call.
while the whole service, medium
and fiat, costs the company over two
cents call Very well, let the Alder.
men say to the phone crowd: I'VE
have cut of 25 per cent of your bur.
den. This will increase your revenue.
Give the people the benefit and let
them have a rebate of two cents IN

CARDINALS WIN OPENING
Home Run Drive by Cockrell Saves
Game For Locals.

A home run drive over the far
end of the right field fence in the
eighth inning, with the bases full,
turned defeat into victory for the
Cardinals over the Business High
School Saturday Up 10 this time it
seemed that Breen's faithful were
destined to taste the sting Of de-
feat.
The stenographers werei leading
I'D to this inning by margin of four
runs, but the Cardinals found their
batting eye, and Hayden, the lead-otf
man, started things going with a
clean two hc eyer. whie', was follow
id by three singles and base on
halls. Cockrell stepped up to the
blate with three on and one down.
An instant later a rosounding whack,
dhe ball shot out to right field and
DIVER the fence. and four runs cross
I'd the pan.
Burgendine's double and Hick's
single put two men on when Nugent
whitfield. Hayden then followed with
his second hit in this inning which
scored the sixth run.
Hayes, who started to pitch for
the Cardinals was ineffective against
the Business sluggers and was yank-
ed in the fourth inning, after al
lowing the visitors to score five runs.
Bargendine, who relieved him,pitch-
ed a good game for the
remaining eight innings, string out s
anil allowing only two hits.
Kelly, for the High School boys,
twirled a good game and
surprised the local boys with his
CURVES. Except in the first and eighth
inh hing the locals were unable to
connect.

Over Five Hundred Old
and Young March With
Bands of Music.
SASHES AND BANNERS
suffragettes Received in Rotunda of
Capitol by Certain Senators and
Representatives.

Washington, April Women re-
newed today their effort to impress
the administration with the justice
of equal suffrage. Resplendent in
the springiest of spring furbelows,
531 enthusiastic women, young and
old, with the bands playing stirring
music to give them inspiration,
marched down Pennsylvania avenue
to the capitol. They had plenty of
police protection today, the mistake
of March Bird having been guarded
against by the local authorities.
The women wore great sashes Of
suffrage colors. Each carried
banner inscribed with the designa"
ton of the congressional district she
represented. In the lead were Mrs.
James Leeds Laidlow of New York,
and Mrs. Mary Ware bennett.
Right behind them was carried a
banner with the inscription:
1--WE demand from Congress a
constitutional amendment giving wo-
men the ballot"
Arriving at the capitol the march
ers proceeded to the rotunda where
they were greeted by a reception
committee of representative and
senators from the states which have
eual suffrage. Here speeches were
exchanged after which the women
were escorted to the special gallery
in the Senate which had been re-
served for them.
Before the procession started to
the capital a general mass-meeting
was held in the Columbia Theatre.
The chief address was made by Mrs.
Laidlow, who declared that much at
tention was being paid to conserva-
ton of forests and waterways "but
too little to conservation of child
hood and human life" She repeat
ed the usual arguments favorable to
the campaign and appealed to Con-
gress to grant the women of the ma
ton "long deferred justice"
