SAYS:
When You Come to Think
of 1t, There Is No More
Sense in q Toll Bridge
Than In a Toll Road.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, July 3d.
This is one of those substantial
mid-western communities that grew
up with the prairie beside river.
1t is old enough to be rich in
tradition and far enough away from
the roaring industrial centers to
have developed an individuality.
Though modern insofar as COM
forts and convenience go, it still
breathes the atmosphere of its
sturdy pioneer founders.
1t is a busy place, with its thirty
odd furniture factories, its five stove
manufactures and other industrial
plants, but still possessed of quiet.
contented attitude which makes the
visitor feel at home.

Tri-State Territory

Evansville occupies the center OF
what is called the tri-State terri
tory.
This territory includes southwest
ern Indiana, southeastern Illinois
and northwestern Kentucky, and
contains about 1900 square miles,
and a population of nearly one
million.
1t is primarily an agricultural re-
gion, but boasts no less than $50
coal mines, and at least one good
oil field, beside which there are
scenes of historical events and
freaks of nature to intrigue the i'm
aginaton.

Ohio River Afflicted

For one reason or another, the
Ohio River seems to be afflicted with
toll bridges.
There are four at Cincinnati, one
Of which earns almost enough each
year to pay its original cost. There
is no bridge, free or toll, within 100
miles of Evansville.
The great highway, designed to
connect Chicago with the South.
passes through this city, which
means that if the public does not
build bridge, some private interest
will.

Usual Bridge Fight

The first settler in Evansville
Hugh McGary. had hardly staked.
out his land and built log cabin
before he petitioned for the privilege
of operating ferry across the Ohio.
That was in 1912, and crossing the :
Ohio has been more or less OF a
problem for Evansville ever since. :
Just now it centers on the cop-
struction of bridge. with the usual
conflict between those who want one
publicly owned, and those who see a
a chance to make so or 100 per cent
on tolls.

If War Between the u. S. and Britain
Is TTnthin1xah1e

L. as Americans ana Brltons keep saying, war be-
tween our two countries is unthinkable," why can't
they come to terms cruiser tonnage at Geneva?
If war between Britain and America is "unthink-
able why does Britain object to fixing maximum
total the cruiser tonnage the two countries may
have, and allowing each country to build to suit its
needs within such limitations?
These questions are asked in all sincerity
In London, in Washington and in Geneva, our
statesmen keep declaring that Britain and America
would not think of arn'ing against one another But
by their acts, they fast giving the world con-
trary impression
If Britain and America are now agreed-they were
at the Washington conference of 1921--on the prin-
ciple of naval parity; if they have not thought Of
armng against one another, and if they believe war
between them is really "unthinkable," why should
Britain or America care rap what type of cruisers
the other country builds providing the total ships do
not exceed the tonnage limit agreed upon?
At the Washington conference Britain and America
agreed that each should have total of $4,000 tons
of batteships; that single bateship should exceed
$4,000 tons, and that these should not carry guns in
excess of sixteeninch calibre. Within these limta
tons each country left perfectly free to build
batteships as big or little, and mount sxteen-nch
zthunderers or mere popguns, as it pleased.
Why, then in all conscience can't the same two
nations to similar agreement with regard to
cruisers?
Any fair-ninded person will readily admit that
given her magnificent string of naval bases stretching
around the world Britain has no great need for large
cruisers
But the same unbiased turn of mind should permit
any one to see that, without such chain of bases
the United States does very real need for the
larger type cruiser because Of its greater steaing
radius
Britain, with her chain of naval bases and 300 900
tons of small cruisers, supported by colossal mer-
chant marine capable of carrying six-inch guns in
war time, would be far than match for the
United States, with bases to speak of, but with
merchant marine pitiful when compared with that
of Britain.
Any advantage the United States might possibly
have by possessing cruisers with longer radius of
action would be than wiped out by Britain
having greater number of smaller cruisers with
adequate base facilities always close at hand.
Strangely enough, however, Britain, from the very
first has acted at Geneva as if her very existence
were at stakeas if it 1914 and the United States
were a Germany schening for her downfall
Americans, certainly regard war with Britain not
only as "unthnkable," but as the beginning of the
end of present civilization We believe the Brit
ish people feel pretty much the But while their
statesmen at Geneva have talked in that strain they
have not always acted as though they believed it.
Had they practiced they preached, an agreement
would have been reached ere now.

What Other Editors Think

(Anderson
1t was a pair of Hoosier born bows Wilbur and
OrVille Wright. who grew up near Newcastle, Ind,
who made flying possible.
NOW IL Is another Hooser, Francis Jenkins, former
p, Richmond youth, who is destined 1t
HOOStefS seems, to make flying by man more
ond Az. practicable. He has been granted
" within the past few days two impor-
TrGUeL tant patents, providing for the
take-of of airplanes on a small space
and the other for enabling a f1ier to land during
fog. The first device is operated the principle of
catapult, which drops the arpane from an inclined
runway, thereby giving it great speed and enablins
1t to attain lifting qualities in space of few yards
Postmaster General New, another Hoosier, has
urged practical application of the idea by recon-
mending establishment in New York of central
postofce with aerial landing and take-off facili-
ties on the roof
The fog-conquering device is operated on the prin-
ciple of microphone which measures space as de-
termined by earth sounds. AS the plane approaches
the ground, the device throws out sufficient light
beams to guide the aviator to safe landing place.
Thus man continues his progress in dominating
the air.
