countrx,s Motive Energy.

The gauge of nations industrial
might Is the amount of motive energy
which 1t can command for the mani
fold fields of production and the es-
sentfal contributory activities. We
have maintained our supremacy In
manufactured output very largely be-
cause of the vast amount of power
which we could call into service, Rob-
ert G. Skerrett wrote in the Scientific
American. Modern nations expend
far more energy than the combined
muscular ability of their population
and beasts Of burden. The margin Is
covered by the employment of me
chanical energy in the form of power.
To accomplish the work done annually
In the United States, would require
the labor of 5000, OOO,0 900 handwriting
slaves. The use of power gives to
each man. woman and child In this
country the service equivalent of thir-
ty servants.

LOOKING TO SOUTH PACIFIC
White Mer Planning Complete Posses
sion Of Fertile Islands OF That
PARKWAY Ocean.

With Europe a seething mass of I'M
rest and discomfort and uncertainty.
your Britisher is looking to the islands
Of the South Pacific, already owned by
the empire, as the next place to go
and to exploit. to use the expression
of a lot of people who do not know the
meaning of the word. Already corpo-
rations are being formed to COLOMBO
the islands. and beautiful word pic
lures of the advantages of a residence
upon them are being painted.
The truth Is, for some years the
white man has been gradually getting
a foothold In the region. The delight
full pictures which one sees Of the ma
tives, gives a little idea Of what Is
really to be seen in the country. They
are not the wild, naked people roam
ing at large, eating each other and
the missionaries. Rubber plantations,
coconut groves, phosphate mines and
other industries are operated by Eu-
ropeans. And schools and churches
are encountered on every hand, with
the honk of the horn of the ,automo-
bile heard in the shade of the palms.
The white man will not reach the
end of his road until there is no more
country to be settled up, and there
are still vast areas to be brought I'M
der his domain. In Africa, and upon
the islands OF the sea, he is setting his
foot and clearing up the jungles and
conquering the pests and becoming ac-
climated. But the end Is not yet;
there is still much to be done, ana
the chances are that the next rev
wears will see an exodus to these far
away places where beginning has
already been made.-Columbus DIS

of the powdery pollen from the

MADE HIT WITH RECITATION
Princes Speech Consisted OF verses
From the Koran, but Audience
Didn't Know II.

II is interesting to recall that DUR
ing the recent European tour OF Prince
Fefsal of the new kingdom Of Syria.
his memory of the Koranic verses
stood him I'm good stead. In London,
at dinner in the Guildhali, the prince,
who was the guest Of honor, and who
knew little French and less English,
was called upon to reply to the toast
of his health. Beside him sat his
friend and mentor. Colonel Lawrence,
Oxford professor and oriental scholar,
to whom he whispered as he rose to
acknowledge the lord mayors speech.
Colonel Lawrence nodded his assent,
and the prince addressed his audi
ence In flowing Arabic periods, VIM
ming appreciation and applause.
When the guest Of honor had re-
sumed his seat, Colonel Lawrence, as
his interpreter, rose to express In Eng
fish the princes sentiments OF graft
tude for his reception. and to voice
his devotion to the principles OF democ-
racy and allied solidarity. 1t was
not until many days had gone by
that Colonel Lawrence allowed it TO be
known among his friends that what
the prince had whispered to him was !:
'T'll recite the verses from the
Koran about the cow"
Thus did the diplomatic professor
deceive the unwilling ears Of his Guild
hall friends.-Munsey's Magazine.

to twenty generally are present at
hearings and participate in question
ing witnesses. After four or five
weeks given to hearings the printed
records will be distributed and the
committee will divide into subcom-
mittees to take up each individual
item of the hundreds of items that
are to be made subject to tariff du-
ties. When one considers the con-
fiicting interests of producer and con-
sumner presented on every item, the
necessity for maintaining industries
whose employees here receive fire.
quntly ten times as much pay as men
in Germany, China or Japan, the diff
fculty of determining the difference
in cost of production here and abroad,
the problem of preparing bill that
will be ready early next session, can
be understood. A half million dol
lars in revenues is also involved. The
writer has been a member of the
Ways and Means Committee for two
years and has taken active part in
the preparation of the Soldiers Com
pensation act and other measures but
| am frank to say, tariff bill is
monumental job filled with perplex-
tiles and necessarily many injustices
on which it is hard for majority of
25 men to agree.
Lloyd George the English Premier
recently said the advice of President
elect Harding for economy in nation
al and individual expenditures is
sound and concludes: every men,
Der of the family will want to cut the
expenses of the other. The women
will cut down the cigar bill and the
men the dress bill. That is what hap
pens in public expenditures. But it
is essential if the nation is to re-
cover, that there should be rigid
ruthless economy for some time to
come" Confronted with the problem
of raising five billion dollars year
in this country for federal needs alone
and stacks of letters protesting
against practically every kind of tax,
we may as we'll take the words of
Lloyd George to ourselves.
Governmental expenses, according
to the Treasury Department reached
s11 ,728OOO, 900 for 1919 which was
the war cleanup year and $5,064,000,-
900 for 1920. The last figure is about
five times prewar expenditures and
an aftermath of war costs that cam
not be avoided. We cannot issue
more bonds to meet running expenses
of the government without depre-
ciating Liberty Bonds now standing
so with income tax reductions due to
lower profits in 1920 and 1921, every
source of revenue is required to make
up the deficit. Administration army
estimates of 9s4,622,2 20 were cut
to $392,55S,365 and Navy estimates
from $685., 631, 1854 to $433 ,279,574 ir
committee or a total of $741 900 900
To the average tax payer over $780,
100000 seems large amount to
spend for war in time of peace.

Our Weekly Letter
From Washington
From James A. Frear, nj. c.

Congress is not always influenced
by men who assume to speak for or
CARNATIONS whether farm, labor, rail-
ways, waterways or other interests
becuse men representing such in
terests so frequently disclose to Con-
gress their own lack of knowledge
of the facts. Congress as body can
not resent unjust criticism and so Of
ficials of these organizations some
times claiming to represent millions
of voters send word to members in
dividually. demanding that we vote
for or against some public measure.
An illustration occurred last week
when a Washington 'President"
claiming to represent 100000 farm
ers sent letter to every Membr of
the House demanding that we vote
for the Ubiquitous Muscle Shoals, Ten
nessee water power project and for
a ten million dollar appropriation
this year in addition to over one
hundred million dollars of Govern
ment money already sunk in this pro-
ject during the war. For years lob
bists have thronged the Capitol cor
ridors trying to put this vicious waste
of money through Congress. During
the war, President Wilson and Sec
rotary Baker directed expenditures of
100000, 900 in Alabama on this pro-
iect that Congress had refused to
adopt. 1t is now claimed by this man
that farmers want it for a fertilizer
plant at possible cost of 100000
900. All kinds of crimes are COM
mitted in the name of patriotism and
all kinds of legislation are urged in
the name of agriculture but ! have
opposed this steal for years and last
week called attention in debate to the
fact that practically every leading
Member supporting the Muscle Shoals
Treasury grab had voted against the
recent Farmers emergency tariff
bill PISSED by the House and that no
intelligent business man would put
one dollar into such a plant even If
one hundred million dollars already
spent by the government was dona-
ted to any company that would take
it off the governments hands.
The preparation of a modern tariff
bill can be partially understood from
the fact that at the first session of the
Ways and Means Committee twenty.
five witnesses were called the first
day and presented arguments, gener
ally limited to ten minutes in eacf
case. Some of these witnesses
travelled over thousand miles al
their own expense in order to talk
ten minutes and file griefs. Between
one and two hundred business men,
manufacturers, officials, attorneys ano
experts are also in daily attendance
Hearing are being held morning and
afternoon. Days are assigned to
chemical, wool, cotton, agriculture
and other industries, each of which
have one or more days set apart
The committee is composed of twenty
five members, of whom from fifteen
