The great war in which our ma
ton is engaged will be won not alone
by food and men, but by mechanical
power as well. Without mechanical
powell we could not make or move
the weapons with which we fight
guns, ammunition, ships, and sup
plies Our national resources Of
power. whether from coal, oil. or
waterpower, are national war neces1i-
ties. We need them to win the war
In this gigantic struggle our Sc
curity requires us to use all these
great resources, and to use them
wisely and well The people of the
United States own some $4,000, 900
undeveloped water horsepower. or
about enough to run every train,
trolley. factory, mill, mine, and cleo
trio power plant we have.
For ten years the friends of con-
servation have urged the develop
ment of public waterpowers in the
public interest. But development
has been held back by a little group
Of waterpower magnates and their
friends I'm Congress who have blocked
all legislation which would not give
them these valuable properties for
ever and for nothing.
Today, when the nation needs all
its resources, the same men who
have been blocking reasonable
waterpower legislation own and are
holding millions of water horsepower
undevelopcd and out of use while
cIamoring for more.
Che time has come when such OBJ
strdcfion threatens the nations safety
and success. We need the develop
ment of these powers in war even
more than in peace. At the coming
session OF Congress sound waterpower
legislation should be enacted as a
war measure, based upon principles
fair to all sides. These principles I
believe to be briefly as follows:
Oh The thing to do with water
power Is to develop it. Whatever re-
tards or restricts the development of
public waterpowers on terms fair to
the public is against public policy
and hostile to the general welfare
GA Waterpower belongs to the
people. The sites where it is pro-
duced should always be held in pub
lilo hands. for only SO can effective
control in the general interest be Sc
cured.
CO. Where public development is
not desired, the right to use water
power sites should be leased for
periods long enough to permit sound,
attractive, and profitable investment,

Coming to Missouta.
Alexander Strathpoule of New York,
who is showing some very remark
able pictures throughout the United
States. which are authenticated by and
shown under the authority of the Ital-
ian government. Is in Missoula and
the management of the Missoula the
atcr has been fortunate in securing
for the people of this city an oppor-
tunity of seeing the picture OF the
Italian forces at work.
Some four years ago Mr.. Strath-
poule left New York city presumably
on pleasure trip through southern
Europe and commenced a tour through
the Balkan states. visiting smyrna
and Constantinople and other import
ant cities. While visiting in Smyrna,
the great war broke out and on his
hurried return to northern Europe he
was held as a prisoner at Algiers due
to the fact that his credentials as a
citizen of the United States had been
left in smyrna. However. the Ameri-
can consul at Algiers soon obtained
his release.
Took Big Risks.
From Algiers Mr.. Strathronle en-
harked to Palermo where he obtained
permission to take photographs of the
Italian battle front. With guides
furnished by the Italian government
together with four expert photo
graphers Mr.. Strathpoule was given
remarkable privileges for taking mo-
ton pictures of the work the Italian
armies are doing in the Alpine passes
and how they are slowly but surely
pressing hack the Austrian forces to-
ward Trieste.
Mr.. Strathpoule had the misfortune
to lose three of his operators when an
Austrian shell exploded near where
they were working. at the same time
receiving severe wounds himself.
When he had completed his work.
Mr.. Strathpoule returned to Naples
and there showed the results of his
work to many high government of
ficials who congratulated him highly
on his productions. authenticated
them and urged him to carry out his
plan for bringing them to America.
These remarkable pictures will be
shown to the people Of Missoula next
Wednesday night only at the Missoula
theater and one half of the proceeds
will be returned to the Italian gov
eminent for distribution among the
widows and orphans OF the war.

Ethically there is an obvious differ
ence between advertising these nos
trums as woodworking cures, as they
are exploited in other publications, and
including them, together with scores Of
other items, IN price list. I'm
fortunately for The Item, however. by
even mentioning the first and third Of
the listed medicines it violates its own
rule providing that preparation
whose "follow-up" literature makes
quack claims may not be admitted 10 its
columns. Further. it specifically taboos
the term Regulator" Under its own
ruling, fail to see how it can continue
to encourage its public in buying these
classes of nostrums, even though the
advertisements themselves make no
fake claims in The Item.
Had |, as | ought to have done,
found the Dufry's Malt Whisky adver-
Using in The Items pages, | should GER
tainly have modified my praise of that
newspaper. Ny only excuse is that,
being familiar with The Items rules,
and having at the time of their adop-
ton found the paper rigidly living up
10 them, | assumed too readily con-
tinuance of that policy, and while going
over the files did not scrutinize them as
thoroughly as should have done Thus,
not only did Dufy's escape me. but also
Ninol, Poslam and one or two others
which, however. might be open TO de-
bate As 10 the above. there is no
room for debate. Duffy's Malt Whiskey
was advertised in The Item not as q
whiskey, but as "a medicine for all
mankind" II is absolutely inadmissi-
hle under two Of The Items own rules:
the "follow-up' rule, and the rule
against medicines containing an undue
quantity of alcohol. As to Poslam and
Ninol, they should have been rejected
under the implied principle Of The Item
/ that it will not advertise fakes. Poslam
does not and can not heal the worst
itching skin humors." Ninol does not
create strength for weak women II
/ does not create" ANYTHING, except. per-
/ haps, an appetite for alcoholic stimu-
. .ants. Since The Times Picayune's at
/ tack The Item has. | understand. or
dered oil Dufy's Malt Whiskey adver-
Using out. and is considering others Of
the questioned advertisements.
Throughout this curious triangular
controversy the attitude of the two
newspapers should be borne in mind.
The Times-Picayune must not be un-
| derstood as rejecting upon the medical
advertisements specified in its com
plant, for il accepts and publishes
/ many Of these and many others. Its
/ charge bears wholly upon the point
