Protect the Water Powers.

In a great factory where power
in used on a large sale, its cost,
though large in the aggregate, is
small in comparison with the cost
o. labor and raw materials. But
for the small user of power the
cost is relatively nigh. The manu-
facturer can, sometimes, bear eX-
orbitant rates for power, while to
the farmer they may quickly be-
come prohibitive. The farmer
has this peculiar reason for de-
manding freedom to purchase cleo
trlc power developed from streams
in his neighborhood, at prices
which will insure the power com
pany a reasonable return on the
capital invested, and 70 more. To
attain this end certain restrictions
are necessary.
First, actual development should

water power sites undeveloped for
speculative purposes should be

country the Federal public land
laws and the state water laws
have been perverted to stimulate
such speculation in undeyeloped
power sites.
Second, every power site should
be developed up to a maximum
capacity, reasonable in relation to
commercial and engineering con-
ditions.
Third, combinations to reslri

Fourth, water power privileges
should be limited in time to a Pc
nod not longer than 50 years, so
that the generations that follow
rs may be free to deal with this
natural resource in the light Of
the greater wisdom of their day.
Fifth, a reasonable charge
should be paid to the public.
Sixth. capitalization shodld he

Seventh, the public should sc

Science and Experience.

Johnson county, Texas, has a
boys corn club that believes in
doing things. AT a late meet ng
the reports showed that the ar
mer boys OF that county who have
taken up the new agriculture are
raising more than the experienced
practical" farmers. AS an ex-
ample we quote this report OF one
of the boys:
This boy wanted to plant his
acre, but his father said he could
not do it. The boy fell back
upon a boys best friend, his
mother, and she took the mat er
up with the "old man" and the
boy got his acre of ground. That
was three seasons ago. He plow-
ed, hoed, and worked his crop,
and so did bis daddy his, and
when the corn was measured the
boy had made 80 bushels to the
acre and the "old man" only H..
Bv this time the father had got
his dander up and determined he
would adopt some OF the new
measures and keep up with his
son, so last year they both went
at it, but the boy had learned lis
lesson well, and when the time
came for measuring results he
had AZ bushels average to II e
acre, while the "old man" h, d
only increased to ID bushels
This year the "old man" de er-
mined that he would beat his boy
sure but he didn't. When things
were ready and the father was
away from home, the boy took q
wagon and hauled a good lot o
manure onto his land, rIowed il

per describing his trip 70 the
Hawaiian Islands. Taking up a
subject of the most vital impor-
.tmce to the future Of our own
southern states, Mr.. Poe writes as
follows:
Here ON Hawaii the mingling
10. Japanese, Chinese, whites and
native Hawaiians has produced
5 seemingly unlimited variety Of
mongrel types, picturesque in
deed TO gaze upon, but amniously
unsatisfactory when considered as
the basis Of future Hawaiian citi-
zanship-a situation suggestive
of the most serious menace to the
future Of our southern states,
namely, the development Of a
similar populasiOn among US, in
heriting the bad qualities Of the
most vicious and depraved Of both
Caucasian and negro, their condi-
ton the more tragic because while
bound by all the limitations i'm
posed upon the black man, there
nevertheless runs equally in their
blood the pride, aspiration, and
uncurbed ambition which the
long ages have bred into our
White blood.
The mongrelizatiOn Of Hawaii
has impressed upon me more
strongly than ever before the i'm
perative need for a crusade
against a southern evil which it is
a mark Of SOU eamishness and not
# wisdom to ignore, a crusade
working as in Louisiana both
through Legislation and a more
thoroughly aroused public senti.

Chicago, H.. April 16.-At last Jack
Johnson has made a public promise. He
declares he will start for the coast
April 20, but says nothing about reach
ing the coast. Engagements will give
him time to set up camp at Seal Rocks
about May 1.
Now Jack is up against suit
brought by local firm on account of
a piano.
THAT piano wasn't good enough"
said Johnson. I've one in there which
was made for me, costing $1,000 and
what would l want with s200 instru-
ment2"
Jack Johnson says he bears TO i'll will
toward Jeffries and to show that he is
in earnest he sent a telegram last night
in which he wished Jeffries many happy
returns of the day, it being Jirns S5th
birthday anniversary.
u have only the highest regard for
Jeffries as a gentleman and fighter"
said Johnson. IF l beat Jeffries July

his corner, and if he beats me, 1 will
be the first to congratulate him.
