Back to Nature.

One Of the consulting engineers of
the General Electric Company is au-
thority for the statement that in
Massachusetts, alone more water
power is going to waste than is to
be found at Niagara. In connection
with this remarkable assertion the
engineer says also that when the
soft coal OF the country is ex-
hausted the problem of power and
heat must be solved by electricity
produced by water.
Now, in his opinion, we convert
water power into electric power Just
where we happen to find it. The
business and duty Of collecting
water power seriously and system
Rtioally Is yet to be undertaken. And
If we don't go about this business
with reasonable dispatch and order,
generations to come VIII be in dan
ger Of freezing. Says this student
OF dynamics:
What we get today OF our real water
attempt IS made 70 get the enormous
hoods, Look At the enormous unused

Every large town in the Sts4e exceut

power in the little creeks and rivuiets.
New methods viii have 10 be devised
Tor collecting the joint power or an
these creeks and rivers. That is what
We VIII have to do when we face the
loss bihfy OF freezing.
1'hsG there is the question of soil
saving and improving, and the ex-
pert points to New England as an
example of soil exhaustion. But
this exhaustion runs farther back
than New England Only the other
day the report was made that mil
lions of dollars worth of abandoned
farms existed in New York State.
The capital has been drawn all out
Of some of the old lands. No doubt
every year adds new acres west
ward to the abandoned farm terri
tory.
The question is how to make this
soil reproductive all the time; and
the engineer answers this by stat
ing that again we must look to
electricity to fertilize the air. Such
a fertilizing method is in use in
Sweden, where electric power is
very cheap; but by-and-by it will be
available here, when, by proper de-
velopment of all Of our water
power. we shall have a great abun-
dance Of electricity. Much has been
said about preserving the scenic
beauty. Of certain rivers; but, it
seems, much remains to be said
about utilizing every running
stream for the purpose Of distribu-
ting industry and improving. if not
preserving, human life.

Should Be an Issue.

Speaking at birmingham, Gov
ernOr johnson is quoted as having
declared that the country's prog
ress was opposed by two menaces,
the one a tendency Of the Federal
Government 10 a Capitalization of
power, and the assumption of SOW
ereign powers not delegated TO it
by the Constitution and belonging
to the State and 70 the people; the
other, the power Of centralized and
predatory wealth fostered by sPe-
cial privileges and defiant Of both
the public welfare and the law of
the land.
THE inherent powers of the re
public should not be delegated 10
the Federal Government" said the
speaker. ''but should reside in the
State and the people They are the
original sources Of sovereignty,
and yet the present Administration
maintains the doctrine Of inherent
sovereignty in the Government. To-
day the Government of the United
States denies the existence of the
Constitution 10 our island terri
tories"
If the platform makers Of both
parties could get together and
make up an agreed statement Of
their respective views about State
rights and Federal ''usurPation; II
they could squareIy state a PROPOSE
ton on which one party would take
one side and the other the opposite
side; If, in short, this question OF
the relations Of State and Federal
Governments could be reduced to a
resolution such as the debating So
cieties prepare, one side taking the
affirmative and the other the mega
tive-that would put the thing
fairly before the country, so that
everybody would know what every
body else was talking about.
There is vigorous insistence that
the country is feariI of too much
Capitalization of power in the Fed
eral Government. Perhaps that is
true. But it would be highly inter
esting if a nationwide referendum
vote could be taken on some specific
proposition which would develop
where the majority stands.
The Times believes the majority
Of people have come to the belief
that more and more power and re
sponsibiIity ought to be conferred
in the Federal Government, and
that. whether the academic State
rights people like it or not, in the
end the Federal Administration viii
more and more overshadow the
States. The Times does not be-
Iievs there is in this any menace"
OF that tyranny viii result. Cen
tralization Of power and authority
means a definite locating of respOn-
sibiIity. It is the tendency Of the
times in everything on earth-sO-
cial. industrial, financial, intellect
ual. 1t is unavoidable, and to deny
it is about as reasonable as TO deny
tbe existence Of the force of
gravity.
The liberalization Of this Govern
ment Is going ahead. 1t is for the
people to find a way to direct it
properly.
