prohibition camp and the woman suf-
frage camp, he. remains very. popular,
particularly upstate, and no doubt ex-
lists as to his denomination. The demo
Fcrat who defeats him will have run
for his money.
Last fall, when Gov. Smiths triumph
over Gov. Whitman was the subject Of
much discussion at home, mention was
made of the victor's name in connec
ton with the presidency. But as there
was no second to the suggestion it
soon faded away.
Now, however, it is renewed. Why,
it is asked of the New York democracy,
not instruct for Gov. Smith for the
San Francisco nomination, present his
name to the convention with a fine
flourish, cast the vote of the state for
him, and thus give him a boost for
either second term in the governor
ship, or for the senatorship if he dc
cides to stand for the latter place.
But the governor vetoes the sugges-
ton. He does not want his name used
at San Francisco, knowing. as he does,
that he will have no chance there, and
fearing, as he probably does, the ridi-
Guile that might attach to such an idle
demonstration.
So New York will go to the conven-
ton uninstructed, and in an inquir-
ing state of mind.

Telephone Rates.

! Contending that the present return
upon capital invested in its plant
| is insufficient. the Chesapeake and Pc
tomac Telephone Company has peti
toned the Public Utilities Commission
for a general increase in District tele-
phone rates. A hearing has been
granted, to open May g. Meanwhile
Washingtonians are studying the
problem in that spirit of fairness
which, while seeking eagerly to protect
the individual interest, consistently de-
mands an even break for all concerned.
The company claims that at the cnr-
rent rate the net return upon the book
value of its plant is but fraction over
l per cent per year. 1t points out that
telephone companies have been deemed
admits that deductions must be made
from the gross book value, since GER
tain of the company's property in
cluded in this figure is not now used
in telephone operations. 1t asks for
rates which will produce net reve-
nue. of $685., 900, or little more than 5
per cent upon a reduced book value
of $12.50o,0O0. This, according to the
company, could be obtained by an in
crease of not more than 80 cents per
month to subscribers, plus a l cent
increase on additional local messages
sent on limited service lines.
The company is right in its assump-
ton that Washingtonians require up
to-date and efficient telephone service.
And if it can prove that the moderate /
increase of rates is essential to provide |
a reasonable and safe return upon true
capital investment, Washingtonians,
mindful of the fact that the company
has in the past made voluntary reduc-
tons in the price for its service, will
be willing to pay for what they re
quire.

Retirement at the Last Hurdle.

Ocsplte objections 10 cartier CuiNSu
ing, today's session of the House has
been devoted to consideration of the
clerks retirement bill, already passed
by the Senate and amended in some
respects by the louise committee. So
strong and convincing is the argument
for its adoption, so plain is the as
sured gain to the government through
the operation of such a law, so OBJ
vious is the justice to the governments
workers of system of retirement.
that it would seem impossible for the
House to vote otherwise than favor
ably.
Differences of Judgment as to details
Of the measure should not cause the
least danger to the bill itself. The
prime point is to get the enactment,
in some form. 1t will take long time
to put the system into operation.
There will be abundant opportunity
to amend it as practice develops faults
or .nequltles.
The Star rejoiees in the prospect of
IN early consummation of the plan
for which it has worked and argued
for many years. In and out of season,
for more than a quarter of a century,
this paper has pressed upon Congress
the need of such a system, showing its
value to the government and the JUS
tiee of retirement to the clerks them
selves. If now Congress is about to
adopt the principle The Star feels that
its labors, though often maintained in
great encouragement, have not been
in vain. 1t hopes very soon to be in
. position to congratulate Congress
upon having accomplished an end to
the benefit of the public service and
tho workers upon finally receiving the
reward of fidelity.

The Senate and the Navy.

The Senate yesterday, without rec
ord vote-which means, practically,
without objection-passed its bill max
ing appropriation for the support of
the Navy for the fiscal year 1921. The
amount approximates half a billion
dollars--an increase of some forty mil
lion dollars over the amount appro
priated by the House. The difference
will be adjusted in conference.
Two days had been given to debate
"a short allowance when the subject
and the huge sum are considered. But
this also practically argues unanimity.
There was little to debate, and hence
no disposition to occupy time. Both
parties being in favor of an adequate
Navy and generous support Of it dis
posed of the business speedily.
This is matter for congratulation.
Surely, politics has no proper place in
the question of the national defense,
either on water or on land. Both par
ties are interested in that, and can af-
ford to cooperate in providing for it.
And now, of all times. We have
just had heavily expensive illustra-
ton of the value of preparedness; and
the world is still rocking with unrest.
Every influence is being exerted by
the great nations to prevent re-
currence of strife, and everybody hopes
for a continuation of peace.
But as no other nation is taking
peace for granted, why should wes
Why not strengthen ourselves for war
if war should be resumedf 1t may be.
Professional soldiers and sailors would
not be surprised at receiving fighting
orders again; and it is but just to
them to equip them in full and com
plete measure for their work, upon
which when it begins everything de-
ponds. The Navy is orr first line Of
defense; and if the-senemy carried
that we should be in . bad way.
