| fore the senate, under the guidance
of those old vetrans in subtraction
! from the public domain-Senator
Jones of Washington and Senator
Nelson. of Minnesota They have the
more or less active aid Of almost every
senator from the public-land states,
as we'll as those affiliated in sympathy
with the General Electric interest, the
Byllesby power intrest, tn Anaconda
interest, and number. of other ele-
ments in the power trust.
Not word has been spoken thus
far by these senators for the cause
OF public development and operation
OF power sites that are now in public
ownership. On the contrary, tens OF
thousands of words have been spoken
for the prompt and effective prying
loose of these valuable sites from
public control.
Over 60 per cent of the wasting
waterpowers of the United States,
said Senator Chamberlain of Oregon
'are located in streams in the unde-
veloped portions Of the public domain
IN til far West.
''The electric energy which could
be produced from these waterpnwers
would be within easy reach by trans
mission lines of vast areas OF lands,
mineral deposits and other natural
resources owned by the federal gov
eminent. These great properties. at
presnt idle and in their present con-
dition almost worthless, could be uti-
Lied and made of great value through
the developments of the waterpowers
in their midst. Til land would be
brought under cultivation through
electrically operated pumpingplants,
and power would be available to open
mines, operate smelters and for other
purposes
But--"Why is it not manifesty in
the public interest that congress enact
csuch legislation as will encourage
men and capital TO undertake the .
great natural resources. which would
vastly Increase the national wealth,
and would be accomplished without
taxation and by private capital
Chamberlain quotes a scientific au-
thority to the effect that enough ny
dro-electrie energy is runnin to
waste N the United States to equal
the daily labor of 1850, 100000 men,
or so times the adult population Of
the United States.

REGISTRATION BILL IN
Topeka Measure Presented to Senator
Schoch by City Attorney.

Schoch by City Attorney.
Re-registration of all voters in To-
peka would be necessary under a bill
sent to Sen. w. F. Schoch of Shawnee
today by D. H. Branaman, city attor-
ney- The bill reached Schoch's desk
too late for introduction at today's ses-
sion.
AT this time" said Schoch. at don't
know whether there is any great de-
mand for such a measure"
Under provisions of this bill all
voters in the city would be obliged to
call at the office of the city clerk be-
tween the date of the passage of the
measure and July %. 1920.
Branaman, who prepared the bill,
stated that it had a dual object. There
are hundreds of voters in the city who
nave taken out no more than their
first naturalization papers. he stated.
Compulsory registration. he claimed,
would establish their status as Ameri-
can citizens. Another object of the
bill would be to clarity the present
registration which began in 1907. The
bill as introduced applies only to To-
peka, Branaman explained.
TN Kansas City and larger cities
they are compelled to register every
four years under a statute on the
books at this time" he said.

More Armories.
lIrentOn VINES. ]

Aa1
New Jersey now has no organized
National Guard-though it has tho
makings"-but both House and SEN
ate nave passed the David Young
bill, authorizing the purchase OF a
$4,000 armory at MorristoWn. The
State already has several million
dollars invested in armories that are
being put to no use as military
training quarters, and which involve
an expenditure Of many thousands
OF dollars yearly for care and MAIN
tenance.
Nobody would suspect, from the
way the Legislature is authorizing
the spending Of money, that the
State is approaching financial en-
barrassment. Sill the Senators and
Assemblymen may Gus their votes
for another useless armory by plead
ing that $4,000 is such a small UNI
that it Is scarcely worth considering
in comparison with the $4,000, 900
which 1t Is proposed to raise for
road Improvement, Hudson tunnel,
Delaware bridge, and rehabilitating
some of the State institutions.
II there is any one thing which
the State of New Jersey can do with
out for several Years to come, it is
another armory; and 1t nay not be
to remark that past Legisla-
lures have authorized the building
of several new armories for which no
appropriations have been NADIA

gard as full justification for yetoing

would have been taken toward adj
vanclng peace in the world. Under
such circumstances great. expensive
armaments would no longer have been
necessary as all nations would have
agreed to reduce armament and all
would be on the same footing. But
such q league Is not to be. Even the
adoption of the treaty with the Lodge
reservations destroys much of the
force Of the league so there Is moth
ing for the United States to do but to
be prepared. That is what Secretary
Daniels proposes in the program that
he has outlined to the congressional
committee. 1t would be a short
sighted policy to do much less than
he suggests.
Congress. supposedly representing
the people, has rejected, or at least
destroyed the force of the treaty. The
people, then, must accept the con-
sequences, which means the spending

There is no doubt hat he has q
legitimate claim to whatever prestige
lgoes with being the Organization"
candidate.
Opposing Senator Brown. however,
is County Clerk Cannon who has been
the recognized leader of the Dem
~ocratic party in Perth Amboy for
years and who is pretty generally
acknowledged as being the county
leader as we'll. Here. then, Mr.. Gan
mons claim to being the "organiza-
ton candidate comes in.
Both men have been elected to i'm
portant offices running as regular
party nominees. Both have acquitted
themselves we'll. Mr.. Cannon. by
having been longer in politics and hav-
ing been reelected twice to the
county clerkship, has gained a wide
acquaintance throughout the county.
Tut Senator Brown, although serving
in his first elective office, is in a posi-
ton to appear more in the limelight.
His career, although brief, has been
such as to attract much attention and
the prominent part he has played
at Trenton during the past two years
he has been able largely to offset
whatever advantage Mr.. Cannon had
in his longer career in public life and
in Democratic councils.
The direct primary permits the rank
and file of the Democratic party to
choose between these two men in Sc
lecting their delegates to the San
Francisco convention. And the selec-
ton should not rest on personalities,
either. What the two men stand for
should count for n great deal. Both
should mako known to the voters just
how they stand in regard to respective
candidates, as well rs the principles
to be adopted as the party platform
before the primaries are held. Then
the influence that they might
WELD at the convention should also
be considered. Naturally. every state
and every district in the state, likes
to be recognized as being among the
influential in naming candidates
and debating party policies.
Hero. then, Is a Clean u contest
between two recognized "organiza-
men put directly up to the voters
to choose between them. There Is
nothing that could more Justify the
1irect primary than this race In which
both contestants can legitimately
elaim Organization support.

TURKS UNDERSTAND.

i4iaaOfRaA"
The Turks in the interior OF h
country care nothing about navaI
demonstrations, or parades of Allied
marines on the ~seacoast. They don
oven care for the warnings sent out
from Constantinople to abstain from
massacring the Christians till after
the peace treaty shall be signed. But
lie the Sultan were deported from
Constantinople, every Turk In the
country would know it. and would
recognize that 'kismet" was against
him, and he would become obsequi-
GUS to his new masters. h reason
why the Sultan should be expelled
from Constantinople Is that there is
nothing else that will convince the
Turks of the interior that the Otto
man game is played out.
