WOLCOTT'S SPEECH
FOR CAMPAIGN WORK
Win. be Used If Republicans Force
Peace Treaty as m Issue Before
the People.
Special Dls~aGch From Every Evenings
Washington Cores cSpundent.


Special Dls~ssch From Every Evening"
Washington Correspondent.
Washington, Jan. 26.--If the Republic
cans force the League Of Nations on he
country as an issue during the Presidential
campaign, the Democratic Nat ional Com
mittee will ,ee the speech delivered by
Senator Wolcott during the closing days
Of tho extraordinary session OF Congress
for one OF its educational documents.
: Thousands of these speeches will be taken
20 the convention in San Francisco to be
distributed among the delegates and
visitors and liberal excerpts will probably
be sent TO every voter in the nation.
OF course it is the desire OF the Demo
cratic leaders to make other issues para
mount, but II the Peace Treaty is not
settled before the contest becomes warm
that covenant will necessarily head the
list of controverted questions. 1t is not
doubted by Democratic leaders that the
Republicans will commit political hari
kari if they permit the nation to continue
in a state of technical warfare with Ger
many.
Senator Wolcott has not changed his
view on the League of Nations since he
delivered his noted speech. He believes
n firmly as ever in the efficacy OF that
covenant and rs ready with his fellow
Democratsic leaders to go before the
country with that as the paramount issue.
II is evident, after canvass OF sentiment
here. the Democrats would, once the issue
received the sanction Of the national con-
vention, present united front to the
opposition. !;
Republicans, however, would enter the
race divided against themselves. The
irreconcilables- who want the treaty
rejected in toto-would not under any
circumstances commit themselves to a
contest in which the question of whether
the Lodge reservations or the Wilsonian
sdea of the Treaty would be accepted
by the nation.

One-HaIf of Precipitation
Evaporates, Two Thirds Runs
Off, One Third Is Absorbed

Water power, or white coal, as it is
called on account Of the white. tum-
bling foam at the foot of waterfall,
is full Of romance. 1t is really amaZ-
ing to think of a city miles away from
the falls being lighted by their power;
but few. perhaps, realize whence the
falls receive their energy, or how IL
may be measured before it reaches the
powerhouse. The only source of inland
water supply is virtually the precipi-
tatiOn on the earth's surface. which
comes in the form of rain or snow. OF
the total precipitation practically 80
per cent is evapOrated, SO 1-3 per cent
runs off to the sea, and about 16 2-3
per cent is taken up by plant growth.
OF these the run-off is all that is avail
able. and a part Of this must be used
for domestic and municipal supply. a
part for artificial irrigation, part for
manufactures. while the balance only
is available for Water-pOWer develop
ment. and is useful for that purpose If
sufficient fall is found in a reasonable
distance. In the United States the an
nual precipitation varies from $50
inches in the mountainous regions to
Q inches at low attitudes. In the valleys
Of Idaho. for instance, it is 20 inches.
and on the mountains Of the eastern
range it reaches 40 to 60 inches.

GETHSEMANE

In golden youth when seems the earth
A summerland of singing mirth,
When souls are glad and hearts are light
And not shadow turks in sight.
We do not know it, but there lies,
Somewhere yelled under evening skies
A garden which we all must see
The garden of Gethsemane.
With joyous steps we go our ways.
Love lends halo to our days;
Light sorrows sail like clouds afar,
We laugh and say how strong we are.
We hurry on; and hurrying go
Close to the border land of woe
That waits for you. and waits for me
Forever waits Gethsemane.
Down shadowy lanes. across strange
streams,
BFidged over by our broken dreams,
Behind the misty caps Of years,
Beyond the great salt fount of tears
The garden lies Strive as you may,
You cannot miss 1t on your way
All paths that have been or shall be
Pass somewhere through Gethsemane.
All those who journey. soon or late,
Must pass within the garden gate,
Must kneel alone In darkness there,
And battle with some fierce despair.
God pity those who cannot say,
"Not mine hut Thine" who only pray,
''Let this cup pass and cannot see
The purpose of Gethsemane
