Illinois has received an unwarranted affront from the United States senate in its refusal to recognise pol. Frank If; 'Smith as one of | its senators. Governor Len Small* declared Friday in a formal state-j meht ih which he served notice he' TOvwxt* i vcujiiiiziif tne senate ae-i lion. Coupled with the declaration J of Colonel Smith to resign, the governor's statement Was interpreted as neaping that Illinois would function with one United States senator for :iif next six years unless other developments intervened. It was understood that General Carlstrom, at- : tomey general of Illinois, was ready i to assert pub.icly that Col. Smith still was senator-elect from Illinois despite senate action; that his credentials were good for six years and thai there was no vacancy subject either to election or temprorary apeither to election or temporary apsembly went on record with joint resolution holding that Col. Smith was entitled to his seat. Washington, Jan. 22.?Recent 'wart talks'' of United States naval officers, coupled with their demands for a larger navy, prompted a statement by Chairman Borah of the senate foreign relations committee today that such activity was "sheer; madness." Calling attention to tie. recent advocacy by Admiral C as. I F. Huges, chief of naval operations. for virtually a billion dollar navy | building program, and the declaration yesterday of Rear Admiral C. P. Plunkett, commandant, of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, that the United States faced an early and Vine-! vitable war" with its commercial competitors, tne Idaho senator called upon taxpayers to make themselves heard "'before this mad policy becomes fixed." Secretary Wjlbur had1 no comment to make today on the Plunkett stat.ment, nor would he indicate that he would have anyth ngi to say later. Senator Borah describ-j ed such declarations as those of Hughes and Plur.kett as "mischiev-| ous to the last degree." "If any-' thing could possibly bring war be-' tween two great nations," he.declar-! ed, "it is these enlarged naval pro- i grams in connection with declara-; tions from the navies of the respect ive countries that war is inevitable. This was the insane policy which obtained between Germany and Great Britain from 1900 to 1914 and which was one of the great contr buting causes to the World war." ( THIS WEEK Sk? ; By ARTHUR BRISBANE BUSINESS AND PROSPERITY ON TAKING ADVICE MEMORIAE TO COLUMBUS EDUCATION CAN END CRIME s-uiotiiry Hoover sum marines the hist \ ear us regards wages and employment thus: "There waS Jittie unemployment except during a moderate recession I near the end of the year and the fate of real wages remained higher ! than anywhere e!st in the world, or j than in ally other time in the world's history. The high prospect of the year did not represent merely an upward swing in the business cycle, but. was the result of that general and Permanent progress which has inui'Keu tne nation s business." That is a situation for American business men to keep in their minds, thus avoiding damaging. doubtful hesitation Business and prosperity in this country have climbed to a permanently higher plane, barring todftshhess, will stay there. .fohn !? Rockefeller, eighty-eight years old, immediately changes his " stance" at golf, when tdUl hy & professional that he stood too close to the ball. That change lengthened his drive by twenty yards. Mr. Rockefeller has said that his success in the beginning was due to patience and economy. It may have been due also to hi? ability to listen to others and take advice. That is a thing that many young men who would like to be Rockefellers have not learned to do. Christopher Columbus' memory is to be honored by building a magnificent lighthouse costing ?1,000.000 What is left 1 Columbus' body will lie under the lighthouse on a reservation given by the government of San Domingo. Columbus would be puzzled by one feature of his memorial, namely, lights shooting up into the air to guide fliers. He would think angels were expected. Architects arc invited to compete in this enterprise, which should stir tin- imagination. I 'I'hn It.., ..

Add the cost of courts, prisons, district attorneys, etc., you find that crane costs many hundreds of millions a year. Add the "gct-rich-quiek crimes** and it runs to billions. Unfortunately what Lloyd George says of war is true also of crime, only education can end it. And this earth is many centuries from being really educated.

Tliat Britain has submarines'; equipped with folding aircraft,) ready, if necessary, to carry destruction to the enemy's harbors, is a secret no longer. That secret interests this country. We don't expect war from Britain, but what the British can build others can build. The United States employment service predicts good times and plenty of work for 1928.

"Love is that which a girl has who jiroes with a man \vho doesn't own a motor car. But maybe her idea is companionate man iajre." The United States senate late Thursday afternoon declared vacant the seat to which the people of Illinois elected Frank L. Smith. By a vote of 61 to 23?more than twothird. majority ? his credentials were declared to be tained with "fraud and corruption." and it was declared that ho ?*?-** ?i - ? .... , ? > V VMMW.CU a seat. Before finally barring its doers against the former chairman of the Illinois commerce commission on account ot contributions to an to and expenditures in his primary campaign in 3 026. the senate voted, "><> to 27 against giving him the oath of office. This was the second time this session that the oath had been denied and by excltiding Smith without first permitting him to take the oath, the senate established a precedent m a Case unique in its more than a century of history.
