Coal shortage in New York has
prompted the conservation official Of
the state to make an estimate of the
used horsepower Of the rivers and to
devise plans for its development. The
prospect of saving ten or twelve mil
lion tons Of coal q year is inviting
and the state is not likely to regret
action which will insure the CONNER
cial employment Of one of it's greatest
resources. The cost of dams, turbines
and transmission lines will be large.
But there is market for all the pow
er that can be generated, and rates
that will insure the payment Of inter-
est and maintenance charges with a
margin Of profit can be charged, says
Providence Journal. New York has
been talking for 20 years about stop
ping the waste of 100000 horse
power. 1t is time to do something.

THURSDAY, APRIL IS, 1918
SOME POLITICS.

Politics must soon begin to bios
som in Wood county-the first
signs thereof being the announce
I,ent of Robert Dunn, Jr., of Bowl
ing Green for Representative. We
are inclined to think Mr.. Dunn
will be wasting valuable time by
spending it in the Ohio Legislature
but if Bob desires to go there,
it suits us.
TO those who are interested in
public improvements in the coun-
ty, the office of County Surveyor
becomes very important and
while we have no desire to make
the slate the news that |. Il.
Stinebaugh (now employed in the
Surveyors office may be can
didate for that important place,
sounds very good. He is capable
and worthy and it is our opinion
that no better climber" can be
secured.

The fear of many drafted men that
they would not be given opportunity to
win oflicerships very fortunately is not
being realized. The method of select
ing candidates for the new officers
training camps is eminently fair to
the men in the ranks of the regular
army, the National Guard units and
the new National army. Every man
who aspired to promotion was given
opportunity to get his shoulder straps,
the best man to win. Perhaps few
cases of favoritism may have crept in,
but they will not last long under the
trying conditions of the training
schools, and eventually all the unfit
will have been eliminated, says Har-
risburg Telegraph. The big thing Is
that the new officers will represent all
walks of life, and that there is chance
for the humblest man in the ranks to
rise to distinction, merit alone being
the standard.

work is the Secretary. While
others may be swapping stories
about hoy it was done and receiv-

work accomplished the overwork-
ed Secretary, on whose shoulders
rests the duty of tabulating the
figures and keeping the money in
shape to turn over to the banks
with the applications, whose head
is filed with figures and the to-
bacco smoke of the close room in
which he is imprisoned with his
work,-he is the man whose work
continues after all others have re-
tired, whose praise is usually left
for the angels to repeat after his
weary body and tired soul has
gone cover there" So. to even
up with the angels, the editor is
going to say right here that if
Secretary Lownsbury is not given
his reward here he certainly will
have big chuck of it coming to
him when he joins the chorus be-
yond the clouds.
