WHY THE SILENCE?

When Senator Harrison and his col
leagues last week attempted to show
that not single step has been taken
toward accomplishment OF the things
promised n the campaign, the we'll
trained Republican press over the
country rased the cry OF lese majesty.
They rebuke Democratic Senator
who would dare to criticise the holler-
than-thou Harding administration.
Promised prosperity in greater de-
gree than under Woodrow Wilson;
promised a return to normalcy-a
mythical millennium, the pockets OF the
working men and farmers are empty.
Empty pockets and in many cases
over the land, empty stomachs, tf-tf-
fy to the gigantic gold brick that Mr.
Harding and his colleagues, aided
materially by a poisoned press, sold
the American people.
Senator Harrison is right. Not one
step has been taken in the interests oi
constructive, permanent prosperity
not one step has been taken to fulfill
campaign pledges; although the elec
ton happened eight months ago and
the president has been in office fol
four months.
The people may be fooled in time
of wonderful prosperity as they were
in 1920, but empty pockets, and empty
stonrachs will lead to clearer vision
and clearer thinking at the polls

..THE ELECTRIC SHIP"
BY I. MAxEY

"THE ELECTRIC SHIP"
THE NEW MEXICO was the first
j battleship constructed in the
United States. to be propelled by
electricity.
This ship is 624 feet long, weighs
$4,000 tons and from the water-line
to the top Of the mast is as high as
ten-story building.
To drive 1t q knots an hour re-
Quires 28,OO0 horse power. Her oil
burning engines are fed from tanks
which carry approximately 100000
gallons Of oil. It's nine boilers pro-
duce $4,000 horse power Of steam
energy. This steam turns two tur-
bines which develop $4,000 horse
power. These turbines are marvellous
savers Of fuel and space. Each tur-
bine is connected to an electric gen.
orator. Each generator produces
10000 horse power Of electrical
energy.
Huge cables carry this current to
the control board from which the en-
gineer operates the ship. From this
point this power is sent to four giant
motors Of 1000 horse power each
one Of which is attached to each pro-.
peller shaft.
''Let electricity do it, is the motto
on the New Mexico. Electricity re-

BOTANIC GARDEN.
LANGLEY or KENTUCKY INTRO
DucEs MEASURE TO MAKE IT
WORTHY OF WASHINGTON.
TWO PLANS ARE SUBMITTED
One Would Increase the Present site
by TWO Squares, Other Would Re-
\ move. the Garden to East Potomac
Park.
Nv EDWARD q. CLARK.


Washington.-To make the nationai
botanic garden one Of the finest IN the
world by enlarging It where 1t can
bo a constant source Of enjoyment Oh
the national capital and to the one
million annual visitors from all parts
Of the country, Is the purpose of bill
introduced by Representative John w,
Langley Of Kentucky, chairman OF the
house committee on public buildings
and grounds.
Mr.. Langley contends that 1t Is fun
damental that to perform in the pest
possible way the functions for Wnlch
it was created the botanic garden must
be within easy access OF the people,
He makes alternate proposals: "
To enlarge and develop the garoeh
where it Is now at the base OF caplto'
hill, where for years 1t has been
quiet and delightful retreat for mem-
bers of congress and the thousands OF
tourists who come to see the signts OF
the capital; (2) to place the garden
in East Potomac park, where 1t would
be ideally located with three-mile
speedway and water front surround
ing it. and where it would beautify
the approach to the capital from the
south.
Members Of the congress love the
botanic garden because it has Tor
years been their handiest retreat"
said Representative Langley, land they
will never consent to Its removal to
any place where it could not be cas-
ily reached by the people, and BY the
visitors from their home states, who
count the garden as one of the most
attractive ''sightN in their tours Of the
| capital"
Much More Space Needed.
Hearings are to be held on Mr
Langley's bill in the near future
From extensive investigations nave
made" said Mr.. Langley, Il find tina
this government is far behind all thu
other leading countries in having al
up-to-date botanic garden. Such al
institution has always been strong II
the diffusion of knowledge and scien
tific discoveries. This must be cor
rected. I believe the difficulty Is DC
cause the existing institution has bee
badly cramped for space.
| "My idea is to give 1t plenty Q
ground for development, and at tn
same time keep it close to the cente
of population, especially SO that Wis
tors may easily find it and spend som
time there without having to vast
half day going out to Rock Cree
park, where some time ago 1t was pr
posed to>remove it, or the Hamiltc
tract, on the road to Baltimore, whel
more recently there has been pr
posal to place it."
Representative Langley protests
SO that the garden should not be "clu
tered" up with monuments. He 3
