It appears that Indinana has no state-wide primary law, ana that an effort will be made at the democratic state convention this week, under the leadership of Sena tor Kern, to have a resolution passed favoring such a primary, in this connection President Wilson nas written a letter to Senator Kern from which I quote: " 'I have noticed with unusual in terest your Interview the other day about the absence of a law for state wide primaries in Indiana. I was very much surprised to learn that so great and wide-awake a state was so far of want to express my deep interest in your efforts to bring about the necessary legislation.

In no line of human endeavor has the Inven tive brain of the scientist contributed more to the world's progress than by the creation of the art of telephony, of which the Bell system Is the embodiment. When the telephone was born, nothing an alogous to telephone service as we . now know it existed. There was no tradition to guide, no experience to follow. The system, the apparatus, the methods an entire new art had to be created. The art of electrical engineering did not exist. The Bell pioneers, recognizing that , success depended upon the highest engineering and technical skill at once organized an experimental and research department which Is now directed by a staff of over 550 engineers and scientists, Including form er professors, post-graduate students, scientific investigators the graduates of over 70 universi ties. From Its foundation the company has con tinuously developed the art. New Improve ments In telephones, switchboards, lines, cables, have followed one another with remark able rapidity. While each successive type of apparatus to the superficial observer suggested similarity, each step in the evolution marked a decided improve ment. These changes, this evolution, has not only been continuous, but is continuing. Substantially all of the plant now in use, Including telephones, switchboards, cables and wlreshas been construc ted, renewed or reconstructed In the past 10 years. Particularly In switchboards have the changes been so radical that installations costing in the aggregate millions have frequently been discarded after only a few years of use. Since 1877 there have been Introduced 53 .types and styles of receivers and 73 types and styles of transmitters. Of the 12,000,000 telephone receivers and transmitters owned by the Bell Com pany January 1, 1914, none were In use prior to 1902, while the average age is less than five years. Within 10 years we have expended for con . structlon and reconstruction an amount more than equal to the present book value of our entire plant. tlve effect of Improvements, gTeat and rrr.al. in telephone, transmkter, line, cables, e wit rh board, and every other piece of apparatus of pf-cK While the limit of commercial oTerlirsd taVn ign had Increased from strictly local to cvr l. miles as early as 1S93, it was not until 103 t; ;.i conversation could be had over long-distanre cir cuits of which as much as 20 miles wa ia under ground cables.

Our persistent study and lncF53r.t xn rl mentation have produced results more reraarr.s' still. We have perfected cables, apparatus aril r-' ods that have overcome obstacles herrtcferc r garded as insuperable both to longdistance w ; head and underground conversation.

Long-distance and underground transmission was the most formidable scientific problem con fronting the telephone experts. The retarding effect of the earth on the- tele phone current often Impaired conversation through one mile underground as much as through 100 miles overhead.
