So many minds there seem to be
About the proper course to choose
In keeping strict neutrality
We feel constrained to air our
views;
To show how we each action shun
That might give warning powers
offense-
We take not sides with any one,
Nor favor z at G's expense.
We won't offend cen in our food;
But choose each dish with thought
full care;
Vienna rolls, though counted GOOD
We've banished from our bill OF
fare.
French-fried potatoes, we escheW,
And English plumduff likewise bar
Italian maccaroni, too,
And pass up Russian caviar.
or prussian Blue we do not speak,
And Paris Green is left unsaid,
For wares japanese we never seek,
On Turkish rugs we will not tread
And thus wen take our careful way
Till peace shall come on land ant
sea,
Preserving still from day to day
A very strict neutrality.

Figures won't lie, the liars will

"Mai.-Gen. Doubleday, in his Get

"There were on the Union side 2,l6O,-

An illustration Of this can be found
in the construction of dam at Hale S

thonv Brady, where the dam, locks
and other navigation facilities were
built by Mr.. Brady at his own eX,,
pense of 100000, and furnished
slack-Water navigation in that river
for thirty-fiye miles. The power pro-
duced is $4,000 horse power and Is
furnished to cities and towns Tor
power, lighting and other purposes
for a radius of a hundred miles.
The Muscle shoals in the Tennessee
river will afford the third largest
power development in the United
states. and will furnish power for the
treatment of the great phosphate re-
sources of Tennessee, greatly reduc
inc the cost of rendering it into con
ditiou TO be used as fertilizer by
process much cheaper than the pres

That development will also be spe

Ultimate Consumer Must
PAY Cost Of Development.

Men taking this stand talk nope
fully of increased cost of living, and
nv their efforts to block this legisla-
ton are standing in the way OF me
cheap power development which VIII
cut fuel power bills, lead to the
establishm 1t of new industries, the
building O. new towns and cities and
q multi cation of jobs at -hlghef
wees. -.
u is SAL that we should have rbig
revenues from these grants OF power
sites. Men who urge this should
know mat every dollar, every cent
H.. E. added to the generation and
distribution of power, must be ADDED
to. the price paid by the ultimate CON
sumner. and that every dollar and cent
50 added makes an additional OBJ
stacle to the establishment of great
new industries whose success de'
ponds upon the cheapness OF theli
mower sources. The greatest poteh
tial value in our unused water pow
ers lies in the possibility of using
them to produce cheaper power Iii"i
can be produced from coal. Anythlht
which raises the cost of their deVel
onment and use decreases this poSsl
bic margin of saving, makes develop
ment and use more uncertain ah'
adds to the difficulty of eonserVln'
the coal supply.
Delay in passage of this measur,
means delay in giving the countr'
military, agricultural and CONNER
cial independence; means continues
