 For want of adequate protection in the Water Power recently passed by Congress the national parks of the United States open general raid by water-power grabbers. Fortunately for the time being the Federal Water-Power Commission of which Secretary of the Interior Payne is member, has been able to prevent their invasion by refusing to accept any applications for power permits within their limits until opportunity shall be afforded Congress act in the matter

 But such action is urged The reason for this ut terly selfish calously inhuman proposal frankly is admitted--it is be in retaliation, to combat the falling prices of farm products! All farmers urged to withhold this years production grain cotton. wool live stock from the market and reduce production in the future unless the prices of farm products held at level satisfactory these feudal chieftains. This demand includes consideration of the monumental suffer ings, the ghasy mortality which inevitably would result from such calamity a walkout of the farmers of the nation.
 It is not believed that this vulpne apeal will be responded by any considerable number of American It is believed that the majority of the men of the farms citizens in the true sense of the term It is believed that they recognize and understand the complexities and difficulties of tho present period of national and international read justment, and never will subscribe to proposal which should bring the blush of shame the cheek every citizen, and woman, within the national borders

COAL BROTHERS

With the senate committee on produce ton and reconstruction making a par tial report to the effect that coal profit eering has continued unchecked by the department of justice and is a national disgrace, it shows from what has all ready been learned that conditions exist which ought to have been stopped by action of the government forces and hat as the result of the practice and the neglect the consumers have been grossly imposed spon.
 IL was during the hearings of this committee that two of the senators made statements to the effect that leg islation would recommend for dealing with the conditions in the coal industry either by government ownership, all though this was not favored. or by fed eral regulation, unless steps were taken on the part of the coal men to improve the situation.
 Promises to the effect that they pre- ferred to ta@e action rather than have the government step in was forthcom- ing from the coal men, and there are instances where coal prices have been cut but it doesn't appear that the im- provement is regarded by the senatorial committee as either permanent or satis- factory.

 The idea of a kingdom is so far from the American mind today, yet some of our wise forefathers believed that such a form of government was our only sal vation after the revolution, If many another general of a victorious army would have had offered him the title of king it is but reasonable to have ex- pected that he would have accepted the honor George Washington was not am- bilious in that direction
 With the return of peace and the achievement of our independence as a nation the wisdom and patriotism of Washington were to be. severely tested, and in a most unexpected manner, in the form of government to be adopted by the United States.
 Universal dissatisfaction was express ed with the proceedings and conduct of congress as governing power and therefore, some agency superior to that WAS proposed, a head like the English sovereign. Circumstances, of course indicated Washington as that head and the next question naturally arose-un- der what official title should. such a head rule?
 The officers around Newburgh who were associated in this scheme called 2 secret meeting and finally determined on the title of King" When Washing ton was informed of the fact he spurn
