Mr.. Bryan is democrat, and for
years was the leader of his party. He
may resume that leadership. He was
opposed to making the league a party
question in the recent campaign, and
predicted defeat at the polls If It were
done. On the Presidents motion it
was done, and the democracy went to
the most disastrous defeat In its his.
tory. :
Mr.. Harding is republican, and
the league question has been put into
his hands as the leader OF his party.
Mr.. Borah is republican, and as a
member of the Senate will have a vote
on whatever Mr.. Harding as President
may submit to that body in his eff.
forts to promote permanent peace for
the world.
In the end these men may not agree.
Even Mr.. Harding and Mr.. Borah may
amer. But the fact that they are
concentrating together with a view
OF reaching common ground on the
league question is praisewortby ex.

way before leaving for Paris--have
lifted the league question above party

Potomac Water and Power.

Gen. Beach's preliminary report on
the Potomac water supply and power
question is only brief summary. Of
the fundamental conclusions that have
SO far been reached by the commits.
sion named to study this question.
Owing to the illness Of member Of
the commission the detailed report is
not yet available. but enough Is indi.
Gated by the chief of engineers TO COW
en- the immediate points Of interest.
According to this report the Poto-
mac is regarded as more advantage
GUS source OF water supply than the
Patuxent and it is believed that in
addition to the adequate supply of
water a power development OF from
$4,000 to $4,000 kilowatts is possible
at a cost to the consumer Of 5 mills
per horsepower.
1t is gratifying to know that in the
judgment of the engineers the Poto-
mac can be relied upon for continued
and increased water supply while. per-
hitting a power development to the
extent indicated. 1t, OF course, docs
not follow that the United States will
itself or the District By It's permission
proceed at once to develop the power
possibilities Of the river. The primary
consideration remains that Of supply
ing the capital community with: water
Of pure quality and sufficient volume
for the present and for the future.
Since in the judgment Of the engineers
the Potomac can be relied upon for
this purpose and can at the same time
yield the power indicated by Gen.
Beach it may be expected that the
works necessary Tor this development
will be soon authorized. There should,
Of course, be no delay in provision Of
an increased supply Of water for the
District. which Is an. immediate and
imperative need. Az - sg.i e,ssi. !:

is keeping Christmas truly.
This country has reason to be glad
on this Christmas. 1t is passing
