ILLINOIS UTILITIES BOARD MUST
ACT.

The new Illinois Utilities Board must
reduce telephone rates in Illinois the
first thing or It will become very I'M
popular. Illinois is the greatest vic.
tim OF the phone monopoly in the
United States. The people are tired
OF being oyercharged by it. Long dis.
lance service in this state Is almost
as bad as local service.
The Railroad Commission OF Cali.
fornia has been considering the ques.
tion OF long.distance telephone rates
and has issued an order for reductions
which will go into effect February IA.
1t has made a change also in the mat.
ter Of time, the use being extended
from one minute 10 two for the or
binary charges.
II would be impossible to make ex-
act comparisons with the charges for
long-distance service in this city with
out complete statistics and explana-
tions, but taking the distances set
down In railroad time tables and re-
Numbering that the use here Is for
three minutes instead Of two the
reader may perhaps figure out COM
parison for himself.
The rate from San Francisco to
Palo Alto, "a miles, was 35 cents and
II has been reduced to 10 cents The
rate from Chicago to Lake Forest, 28
miles, is 20 cents, but the service Is
longer and additional charges are 3
cents a minute.
The rate from San Francisco to
San Jose, so miles, has been reduced
from 40 to 20 cents. The rate from

DRY BILLY BRYAN.

George Harvey takes a genteel fall
out of Dry Billy Bryan in the North
American Review for March. In the
course of his roast he says:
with his tact all acquaintances,
however casual. have long been fa.
miliar. His capacity for business;
too. Is fully established, no less than
his mastery Of the variegated prin.
ciples which he has succeeded In in
ducing others to accept. The admir-.
able definiteness and dignity with
which he has imbued the State De-
partment, we must confess, is some.
what less translucent than his recti.
tude. but his deserving of confidence
and affectionate admiration is past
dispute. Despite the indelible impress.
sion stamped upon our imagination by
the Presidents unqualified tribute to
Brother Pindell's ability, discretion,
and suitability We cannot but feel
that Mr.. Bryan looms upon his dis.
criminative mental horizon as the
larger of the two.
what Interests us particularly Is
Mr.. Wilson's generous recognition OF
Mr.. Bryan's efficiency as the directive
head Of the State Department. Some
how we have never been able to cir
cumscribe Mr.. Bryan as a mere Secre
tary Of State. We long since came to
regard him as Public Institution
such as the English possess in West
minister Abbey and the French in the
Arc de Triomphe. Official informa
ton, therefore, to the effect that he
can sit without restiveness for hours
at time before desk and not only
detect red tags, but unite red tape
and clear away many difficulty, as
sumes the magnitude Of surprising
revelation.
1--WE would not be understood al
questioning the potency of Mr.. Bryan
as Secretary Of State. We are wei
aware that he has afforded valuabl,
assistance In proposing Ministers Il
South American republics; that III
popularized the Administration imme
diately upon his accession by counsel
ing the recognition of Mr.. Yuan Shin
kat as a Just government resting
upon the consent of the governed,
that he dispatched election inspector,
to Santo Domingo; that he selected
Mr.. John Lind, of whom the Presiden
had never heard, for the high post o
Unofficial Agent to Mexico; that h,
induced the Commoner to loan Asso
ciate Editor Metcalfe to Panama; tina
he rendered really beneficial service
I'm California; and, finally, that he ha,
striven necessarily by word and deet
to inculcate cultivation of peace amoni
nations throughout the world.
This in itself Is great achieve
ment, a very great achievement, con
stituting fair claim to honor and re
nown worthy of Washington or {
Jefferson. We are surprised that thu
President should have overlooked 1t,

The most interesting feature Of the
showing is undoubtedly the large per.
centage to be noted in the reductions
ordered by the California state board.
In the case Of Palo Alto 1t Is nearly
60 per cent. In the case of Vallejo.
where the reduction Is from so to Is
cents, It Is 20 per cent Upon the
rates taken as a whole It is given as

knows, are higher than In any other
