And, not only that, said the shrewd spokesman, but the

Well, there was a brief bit of cheering. The President

Above the government-operated power plant at Muscle
Shoals there are 11 enormously valuable damsites. To
develop Muscle Shoals properly, to prove to state utility
commissions how cheaply electricity can be generated and
sold, the government must retain control of some, if not all,
of these upper reservoirs.
But under official recommendation now being considered
by the Federal Plant Power Commission all 11 sites will go
to the East Tennessee Development Company. This com-
pany will get a three-years’ option on the river without
putting up a single dollar.
Half-owner of the company is the Tennessee Electric
Company, one of the 13 associated companies whose bid for
a 50-year private lease of Muscle Shoals is pending before
Congress. Back of this bidding group stands the Electric
Bond and Share Company, national power combine which
operates in 1700 American communities.
If the national combine is allowed in this manner to cur-
tail or defeat government operation of Muscle Shoals the
American people will have lost their great opportunity to
force cheaper electricity rates everywhere.

WIHEN at Columbus some two
1 V months ago, I went thru the
Ohio penitentiary. "Tocks" Lat-
Imer was my guide.
Knowing something of his
story, I was naturally interested
in him. Besides, he is of the
type and character to impress
anyone, big, frank and impul-
aive; the kind who bares his soul
largely thru the things he leaves
unsaid. Afterward I talked with
.Warden Thomas about him.
“I never go behind the re-
turns,” said the warden, “but
take them as they come. It is
not my business to inquire
whether the courts have been too
lenient or severe. 'Tacks’ is the
sort of prisoner, however, that I
would not be afraid to give a gun
if a break occurred.”
Last Monday a break did oc-
cur, and tho the warden was not
there to give him a gun, "Tacks”
Latimer found one and fired the
first shot to stop it, proving not
only the stuff that is in him, but
the accuracy of Warden Thomas’
appraisal.
I am not very strong for par-
dons, as readers of this column
well know. I think the way they
have been issued is little short of
disgraceful. But it seems to me
that "Tacks” Latimer has earned
one.
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON.
JUDGE BEN LINDSEY may be
right when he asserts that the
generation now coming on will
practice Bertrand Russell’s the-
ories, which run thus: "I shall
not teach that faithfulness to our
partners thru life is in any way
desirable, or that permanent mar-
riage should be regarded as ex-
cluding temporary episodes.”
One thing is certain, however.
This generation will never accept
them.
The Colorado judge says that a
new code of morals is coming into
existence, and he may be correct.
Perhaps when we are all dead
our children’s children will get to
the place where men will not care
whether their wives are chaste,
and women will not grieve, know-
ing their husbands to be uafaith-
ful. But we, thank God, shall
then be past all caring.
I to many it will never be right,
even tho custom makes it true.
And when it comes into bring, the
world will be a damnable place
for women and children.
We may never upon this earth
attain chastity, but when we cease
to strive for it, we shall have be-
come barbarians again.

VOUNG people are fortunate to '

eration. Theirs is the opportu-
nity to go far, to accomplish
worthwhile things, to win fame,
without Injuring each other.
Science has visualized a big-

human race.
War and politics compel men
to fight each other, with crushed
and blighted lives to taint the
glory nt every triumph.
Science offers combat, with
no less thrills, and with more
worthwhile achievements at the
end where all men can stand
shoulder to shoulder beating
down the common enemies of
disease and Ignorance and
where none need turn against
his brother to attain the de-
sired end.
ACCORDING to the Pennsyl-
P vania law, there should have
been two Democrats at every
polling place. If they had been
of the right sort to represent the
party and protect its interests,
they would have voted.

Pennsylvania judge, as well as
some other people, to figure out

about 60 percent of eligible voters

Unless there is something to stir

INNUMERABLE writers and
1 poets have tried to interpret
the "voice of the city.”
But the night voice of Man-
hattan, I have learned, after sev-
eral experiments, has nothing to
do with traffic, or taxis, or rat-
tling subways and elevated, or
swish of millions of feet along the
sidewalk.
Given a fairly central location,
the sounds one hears in the faint
hours of the morning are, strange-
ly enough, not of the city at all,
but of the sea.
It is the boat whistles from the
several rivers that come piping in
many keys to the restless sleepers
when all other sounds are stilled.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—1 have
—N been told that insomniacs and

Instead of compass and sextant
they depend upon night noises for |
their sense of place.
Even the frogs, they tell me,
have tunes that vary with their
geographic residence; the hay
fields sigh differently from other
fields and there is a dignity about

And so it goes.

rHERE’S a lot of talk about taxes coming out of Wash-
-I ington just now.
First certain Democratic leaders began openly advertis-
ing their purpose to “reduce taxes” at the December ses-
sion of Congress. Millions of surplus have piled up in the
treasury, they said, and it was time to take an unneces-
sary tax burden off the people’s backs.
This, on the face of it, looked like good politics for the
Democrats. The Democrats mustn’t be allowed to play any
successful politics with taxes, said President Coolidge—at
'least, that is what he seems to have said to himself. So,
the mythical White House spokesman let it be known that
he himself would sponsor a tax cut. Ten or twelve per cent,
mebbe!
