THE WHITE COAL PILE.

Golden Age: The white coal pile is
as large as ever. The streams run as
full as they ever did; and millions Of
horse power that would do the work
of the nation, and possibly Of the
world. are running to waste every day
in the UnitedStates as they have done
for centuries.
Most of these white coal piles are in
the far West, many of them on Gov
eminent land. although there are
many in the eastern states.
Water power Is expensive to devel-
OPP, because the whole plant must be
completed before there is any return
Hence large capital is required: and
as the Government is not engaged in
the business OF selling power or
lights. it must entrust this develop
ment to others.
The coal shortage is making lots of
people think about these water powers
and what lot of good could be done
by the current that could be general
ed if we had our streams all har-
messed.
Congress has the matter up now
and is endeavoring to find some way
to attract capital to these fields. and
save the nations coal and oil, develop
new industries. build up new commun-
tiles. provide employment for labor.
and increased markets for agricultur-
al products
1t Is not as easy task as could be
desired. Many Of the common people
are fearful of seeing these great heri-
tageS of the nation fall into the nav
of the combinations of capital that
now control so many Of the necessi-
ties and accessories of life.
1t seems TO US that if the Govern
ment could build water powers By
employing soldiers for the task. il
could rent the completed plants to op-
Grating companies, municipalities. CO.
operative societies or other entities
that could operate them advanta-
eeously for all concerned. without
bringing any great groups of capital
into the problem
We are sure that the development
OF these water powers is one of the
blessings that await mankind in the
Golden Age, and perhaps it is just as
we'll that the development has been
deferred so that the people will be the
ones to receive the benefits instead of
the few who just now are casting
longing looks in that direction.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY Is. 1920.

Monday that same individual re-
turned and demanded of Us why the
story hadn't been printed. Some sharp
words followed, the functions and
duty of a newspaper were pointed out
by him and a subscription was stop
ped This second visit is the occas-
ion of this publicity of the event and
with II we take the opportunity to d.
late little on the topic of Courage
vs.. Decency.' In the course of the
conversation. among other things. our
caller called US coward. not think
ing probably for a moment that he in
imparting the 'spicy information"
and wanting his name withheld. was
probably more the coward than the
publisher who would not indulge his
raven appetite for things sensational
Cashmere is after all a small town
and the community around it is not
very large. SO closely related and
identified with one another are the
lives of the inhabitants that we prob
ably knew every detail of the story
before our morbid visitor called on
us. At the time we saw neither profit
for ourself nor glory for the paper in
printing an item that little concerned
us and that in giving publicity to
would leave a path of sorrow. We do
not think the news appetite of our
readers are so voracious as to demand
food that cannot help but bring grief
and desolation in families where some
of the members have strayed from the
straight and narrow path With our
informant he thought he knew some
thing. He was the kind of coward
that was willing to make a goat"
out of his town paper and look on in
glee at the discontinue the publicity
and notoriety would bring. Decencv
is not lack of courage; if it is. we
would rather be decent than courag-
eouS.

4 BIT OF EVERYTHING

As the caption indicates, this col
umn will contain "a bit of every
thing" 1t may not appear every
week. maybe only once in a while.
but the editor of it will try and "fll
'er up" as often a. he can. Some
things contained herein will be our
own thoughts and impressions; others
will be what you or your friend may
think. dressed up to fit the needs Of
the occasion. Then again. We intend
at times to purloin bodily the ideas
of other eminent writer's and use
them as we see fit. There is very
little originality in this day and age.
SO pleasc~lon't get the idea that you
OF anyone else is really original. You
may be different, you may be clever
lots of people are, but original -ner-
er. Originality nowadays consists
of applying an old idea to a new
thought, and this is the best def
milton of present-day originality we
can give If you can do better, come
on in. The waters fine. You are in
vited to help fill this column any old
time the spirit moves YOU - but be

STRIKING At THE GOVERNMENT

no hesitation whatever in denouncing
it. It is direct blow at one branch

read the resolution as reported:

Of members selected from labor bod
les, whose duty it shall be to attend
The trial at Montesano. and after
hearing the testimony, render a ver-
dict and report back to their oreani-
zation.'
This is not merely proposal to
have representation at the trial to
insure unfair reports to the outside

up counter jury which shall COM

that they have not Jared worse than

more inspiring and beautifl than the
Stars and Stripes floating in the
