which has prevented this project from
 receiving the support it deserves.
 A statement made by Chairman
 Good, of the House appropriations
 committee, is characteristic of the
 prejudice and shortsightedness which
 have been the main factors in the op-
 position to the completion of the
 Muscles Shoals. nitrate plant. Mir.
 Good said, "The people of Tennessee voted the republican ticket after sec
 ing the waste of S7O,000,000 at the Old Hickory powder plant at Nash vile, and with the demands for $65,- 000,000 to complete the monument to Woodrow Wilson at Muscle Shoals, they declared they had seen enough. If it costs $65, 5,000,00O to keep the re- publicans in power in Tennessee, how
 much, ask, will it cost to carry
 Texas?"
 This is the kind of argument, ri diculous on the face of it and untrue, that is being used against the Mus
 cle Shoals project. Nicholas Long worth of Ohio, who reached the eli max of his public career when he mar ried President Roosevelt's daughter and has dwelt in the twilight zone ever since, said yesterday, T will talk myself black in the face for 10 years against the expenditure of public funds for this Alabama blunderbus." ]" The fight has not been abandoned. There is enough money available to
 carry on the work until June. It
 may yet be possible to get favora- ble vote on the SIC, ,O0O appropria- ton which was passed by the Senate.
 Much will depend, it is said, on the
 attitude of the new Secretary of War. The farmers of America, who would
 be the chief beneficiaries of a nitrate
 plant making cheap fertilizers possi-
 ble, may rest assured that Senator
 Underwood and his colleagues will
 not acknowledge defeat as long as
 there is the slightest chance to save
 the nitrate plant for the American people.

BEYOND THE CANYON

From the New Orleans Times Picayune. NR THAT s1the least visited part wv of the United State, states7 No. it Is only protected from invasion by heat and dehydration, but there is an- other stretch of land that is cut away from the. would-be visitor by an inn passable chasm mile deep and some II miles wide at considerable part of its extent
 And yet it is recognized that this unvisited, and almost invisitable, tract contains some of the most marvellous scenery on the American continent Furthermore it is really quite close to civilization in some of her most up to-date manifestations.
 This strangely situated land is just north of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado river, and it is that greatest of earths gashes that keeps visitors at a distance Thousands of tourists yearly motor, hike or "burro" along the southern rim of the canyon or make their way down the two availa- ble trails that zigzag toward the bed of the river, but the northern rim is as remote from our times almost as it was 1000 or 100000 years ago. It can be reached from the north. but with such extreme difficulty that only the rare and foolhardy prospector ever goes there or the government engineer sent thither to measure and chart the wilderness and to place such markers as that the visitor at Fl Tovar on the

 But this remoteness is to disappear, according to a recent announcement by the United States National Park service. The canyon is, of course, "a preserve of the nation and, in order dered visitable, the government is about to build a 5oo-foot suspension bridge over the Colorado river at a point that will give access to the north rim.

Benefits Derived From
 Three-Mill School Tax

6f7HERE seem to be excellent req
 U sons why DeKalb county should continue the three-mill school tax voted three years ago. The proposal ' made to renew it for 10 years, xnowledge of what the tax has done for the schools ought to make the vote unanimous.
 DeKalb now has Il high schools, three of which teach the full four year high school course. A voca- tional agricultural school has been located at Geraldine. The sum of S10O,O0O has been expended for new schools and repairs to old ones. Cor porations and nonresidents have paid S21 ,000 of the tax, and other tax payers have paid only $12,000.
 Alabama looks to DeKalb to main tain her prestige and believes she will do so. Practically all the coun- ties that have voted the three-mill school tax are satisfied with it's ef- fects and where the term of the tax has expired have voted it for longer term. The three-mill tax has proved itself worth while. It goes to the schools and the schools alone. It can not be used for purposes other than educating the boys and girls of a county.
 It is no wonder that Alabama passed the amendment enabling coun4 ties and school districts to levy this tax. Men and wonfen of the state may hesitate in other matters, but not when the welfare of their chil- dren is involved.

 On my way to Max Gate . called at . book shop in Dorchester and inquired of an elderly. prim. and rather tart woman if she had copy of Hardy g "Jude the Obscure" which had lately been published, and which had been re- csived by what is known in England as the "rectory public" somewhat su- |perciliously. think 1t shocked them.
