seems 10 be going ahead IN this
direction faster than the United
States. We have a total of 7,0O0,-

horsepower in use. with 10000, 600
more available IN streams flowing
through the public domain One
of the most vital factors in the de-
velopment OF our national re-
sources is the utilization OF this
vast reservoir of energy that is
now running TO waste.
The loss is especially impressive
just now. with a fuel famine and
coal selling at ruinous prices
everywhere. Too many commune
lies are paying those prices when
they have abundant resources for
cheap power, heat and light right
at their doors. The intelligent
development OF such resources
would not only benefit local popu-
lations but, by easing the demand
for coal, would lower the cost of
fuel everywhere, and at the same
time lower the cost of products in
whose manufacture the fuel ex-
pense plays an important part.
The settlement of this problem
has been too long delayed. There
is plenty of capital in the country
today eagerly awaiting an oppor-
tunity to go into hydro-electrie
development. The government
should get busy Immediately and
work out a feasiable plan for pub
lie and private cooperation IN
turning the running water into
wealth. Helena, Mont, Record

Our forefathers suffered pri-
vations and hardships to make
this a prosperous nation. Their
sons and daughters have ever
since given the best that was in
them to carry out the wishes and
plans OF the pioneers. Is it any
wonder, therefore, that the Unit
ed States is wonderfully prosper
ous-not merely in dollars and
cents, but in the greater things
that humanity is heir tot Because
we presist in following the princi-
pies OF freedom that brought the
pioneers to the American shores,

SHOULD WE STARVE EU-
ROPE9


Teh question Of an embargo ON
food stuffs from this country TO
Europe is perhaps foremost with
as Just now. The Boise Capital
News prings up strong point on
the subject in the following cdi-
t0rial:
With President Wilson oppos-
ing it, there is Just about as much
chance of congress placing an en-
barge ON shipment of food to
Europe as there would be Of seeur-
ing adoption by that body in joint
session of the Republican national
platform as its creed.
But it is not alone the president
who is arrayed against the prop
ositiOn of Representative Fitz-
gerald, one of the Democratic
leaders of congress. Opposed to
it also is the body Of American
people, who regard it as barbar-
GUS expedient-
The United States did not start
the war in Europe and it cannot
stop it. Even if it had some
power in the premises it would
hardly exercise it through -the
starvation program
To prevent the shipment OF war
munitions is quite another matter,
but place the United States in the
position of Withholding food from
people already suffering from
the lack of it, Notwithstanding
everything we can do, is indefen-
sible excepting under the positive
necessity of preventing a similarly
acute shortage here.
Shipments to Europe cause
higher prices in this country, it is
true, but that is not without some
benefit. Any reduction at the
cost Of spreading famine IN Eur
ope would stand forever as a
stigma upon a nation that is al
ready under Indictment for hav-
ing too zealously cultivated the
dollar and its ally, selfishness.
In the face Of any pestilence
that might create food shortage
in the old country, the people Of
The United States would respond
10 the extent of their ability and
IT any sacrifice barring extreme
condition at home.
War is only-one kind Of pcstil-
nee.
