A FRIEND OF AMERICA.

James Bryce wrote The American Common
wealth in the true spirit of criticism. He had un-
common capacity for such work. He produced
other historical books of great merit, but none
which added to the fame secured to him by this
one. No one was more astonished than he by the
reception of the work, in the United States espec-
ally where it was accepted as the authoritative
study of our political institutions
The material had been gathered almost at hap
hazard, Mr.. Bryce wont to declare and the
book was designed to enlighten his own country
men on a subject of which they were sadly ignorant
But he brought to his study an extraordinarily keer
mind and unusual depth of understanding, coupled
with sympathy and interest not heretofore evnced
of facts and the opinions he formed from consd
Grafton of them withstood every test of examina
ton. His work became an American textbook and
in large degree has formed that starting point OF
all historical studies of the government of the United
States undertaken since its ISSUE
Viscount Bryce was one of the grand old men
of Great Britain. He devoted many years to the
service Of his country and it's government, but the
fruits of his diplomatic and personal abors usually
were of such kind that their benefits were widely
enjoyed, He contributed vastly to strengthening
the bonds of friendship, through creating bette
understanding, between Great Britain and the United
States On his last visit to the country, lee
turer at the Institute of Politics at Williams col
lege Massachusetts,, he contributed notably to the
advanced thought of the world through his critl-
cisms of the Versailles treaty and the bitter fruit
thereof which the people reapng.

SETTLING OLD DISPUTES.

President Hardings conciliatory intervention in
the controversy between Chile and Peru over the
provinces of Tacna and africa well timed The
ministers of the two South American countries at
Washington have been carrying conversations
the subject, but apparently have not nearly
reached any conclusions Chile is not willing to
concede anything more than plebiscite in the dis
puted territory to determine to which country it
shall belong arbitration of that point alone
while Peru demands that the whole questions of in
depreciation of the treaty of Ancon be arbitrated
The Peruvians contend that since the treaty was
entered into almost 40 years ago. Chile has diluted
the population of Tacna and africa that now she
is assured of a favorable vote il the question OF
allegiance is submitted to plebscite. If President
Hardings proffer is accepted the American aim will
be to bring about agreement what subjects shall
be arbitrated 1t is apparent that both the dis
putants disposed to listen to reason which gives
ground for hope that they may be induced to adopt
course assuring peace between them.

THE LOVE OF POWER AND.

Power Is for purpose. 1t should be regarded
as a means to end. not as an end in ITSELF Sup
pose we were look at a modern hydro-electric
plant with its tremendous power for generating a
current. Suppose that were to ask. what is
the power used for?" and were told 20, nothing!
We just generate power for the sake of the power"
we would decide that the engineer and financiers
were insane.
Hydro-electric plants built to run factories
or light cities. They are a means to end
man strives to train himself for power in
medicine, the law or as machinist, or as a
politician. Suppose. having acquired this power.
he were to say, II did it just to if could, and
should then make good use Of it. Possessing
the power to relieve sickness and Distress qualified
to write laws and solve great governmental prob
lens; capable of making machine Of great use
TO the world; capable of leading the people into
greater peace security and contenment, he refuses
to do so. How wasted is his life!
Yet we see instances Of such folly all about us.
Men seek power for the love of power. They like
the disqualification which comes from sense of
being able to compel. They wholly fail to utilize
the gift given them. When the power is gone no
fond memories of helpfulness remain. Nothing IS
left but bitterness at the loss of the power. The
futity of it all makes its victim cynic.
Power must be used for some helpful purpose
or it is as vain as chasing rainbows. Why then,
our love of power unless we have in mind useful
purpose to which will put it?
None have worthy place in history excepting
those who had power and used it to the full in
some sincere public service, There is no other way
to an abiding satisfaction All else is fools gold"
We should love power, if at all, for the good we
can do with it. not for the sake of having it.
Real power has an ethical basis. 1t rests in o
love for the object upon which it is expended The
surgeon who is merely good mechanic is not
success. Love and sympathy for the sufferer added
to his skill is essential to success The machinis
cannot show anger or indifference toward the steel
with which he is working He must lovingly mold
t. into its beautiful and useful form.
Public men may set up combine which gives
may hold sway a quiescent people But the
mower is more fancied than actual. Political power
comes from the people, who alone have the ability
to give it. Power Of permanent nature comes
from having throne in the hearts of the people.
Such power is not easily broken.
place in the hearts of the people comes from
showing love, sympathy and desire to serve. To
the genuine expression of these feelings toward the
people comes the response which gives political
power Being the servant of ALL he takes first place
in their affections.
The love of power is phantom that eludes the
grasp A lifetime spent in its pursuit proves I'M
profitable. The power Of love points to the high
way of successful living.
we can well afford to consider the difference
between the shadow of love Of power and the
substance of the power of love.

TIME TO GAIL 4 HALT.

The commissioners for a community irrigation
ditch south of town have called upon Flood Com
missioner Don ]. Rankin to expend money raised by
taxation for flood protection, in building jetty
to prevent erosion of private land by the river. Mr.
Rankin has refused TIE request He is quite right.
If there is river-bank protection work to be done
money should be provided for that specific purpose
The fund over which Mr.. Rankin presides is for
flood protection purposes. These commissioners
say that the river threatens the public highway
If it does the state highway commissioners should
be appealed to. The road in question is state
road
Something like $4,000 a year has been raised
for flood protection for the past IT years. There
Is not $4,000 worth Of permanent flood protection
work in place from this fund aggregatng something
more than $4,000. The money has been frittered
away, either by complying with such requests as
this or as emergency expenditures at flood times
No intelligent, consistent and permanent policy has
ever been pursued The result is that today the city
Of Albuquerque is still exposed to imminent dan
ger from floods.
The practice grew up years ago. of expanding
flood money in assisting ditch commissioners III
building head gates into the river to divert water
into the irrigation bitches These bitches pri-
waite property. Maintaining them is a private duty
OF the owners. 1t is . misrepresentation of public
monies to assist them in this work.
The building of these head gates should be
supervised by the state. They divert the water
against the banks of the river in time of flood ana
are responsible for much river bank erosion Money
used to aid private persons in way that increased
the flood damage.
1t is time that this time -honored precedent of
improper diversion of funds tf abolished. Mr.. Ran
kin is determined to do this. Public sentiment
should sustain him.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
A DANIEL COME TO JUDGMENT.
(From the Cincinnati Enouirerl

tfrOm the CINCINNATI Enquirer.)
Under the first year Of the administration of the
present governor Of New York fewer pardons and
communications of sentences of convicted criminals
have been issued from the executive office than
for generation. 1t is the firmly held opinion of
this official that, contrary to the popular notion of
certain peculiar penologiss and ccstatic social re-
formers, the best deterrent of lawlessness is the
gertrude of the serving of the full sentences i'm
posed by the courts
Strange as 1t may appear to those who are ac-
customed to the reverse in practice, the governor
does not always pardon offender or commute
his sentence when importuned by the trial Judge
or the prosecuting attorney who participated in
the conviction. Nor does he believe in delegating
the pardoning power or its attributes to appontive
boards or, as proposed in that state, to the APP
pellate courts. 1t is power TO be retained by the
executive himself, disagreeable though its exercise
may be.
In giving his reasons for his adherence to what
may seem a stern and unrelenting attitude in deal
ing with those seeking cemency at his hands the
official an attorney of many years high standing
really prescrbes rule of conduct his colleagues
of governorship in the United States in this
formula:
1.-THE law prescribes the punishment for offenses
1t vests with courts the discretion in fixing terms
of Imprisonment within certain limitations | do
not think that the executive has any business
fixed by the courts only where there are some ex-
ceptional circumstances presented, as frequently
there are
In short, the pardonng and Communication power
is not personal perqusite to be exercised in
privileged fashion without cardinal reason, but a
duty 10 be performed to the end that wrong may
not be perpetrated through miscarriage Of JUS
uce, or humanity made to suffer through miscon-
cepuon of circumstances attending conviction for

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Feb. 4.-Slackening of
the rush to buy had a tendency to-
day to ease down wheat prices,
Closing quotations were unsettled,
Il c to X C net lower. with May at
s1.25 to $1.25B and July S1.08A
to $1,0Sk. Corn scored a gain of
sc to 1Bc, oats finished I'M
changed to &c off and provisions
unchanged to decline of &c.
1t was evident from the start
that demand for wheat had become
less urgent than has been the rule
of late. Even apart from the usual
week end disposition TO realize
profits on holdings, there We're
signs of lessened confidence that
the advance of prices was to con-
tinue. and many traders were ap-
parently inclined to dwell on sup
posed indications of a pause in the
upward course of foreign values.
Export inquiry was relatively slow
and domestic milling call seemed
also to have lost some of its display
of spirit. Interest rather Jagged
today regarding the crop outlook
southwest in the absence of any
striking fresh development. The
burden of most of the cable dis
patches was that the advance had
been overdone, and 1t was generally
ancipated that the United States
visible supply total on Monday
would show an increase.
For the first time in long while
corn showed Independent strength
as compared with wheat. Oats
were steadied by the action of
corn. Predictions We're current
that there would be an actual
shortage of coarse grain prior to a
new crop.
Provisions at first advanced in
line with the hog market, but later
receded on account of realizing
sales.
Closing prices:
Wheat - May. $1.25; July,
Corn-May. sec; July. 5SKc.
Oats-May, 39hc; July, 40Bc.
Pork--May. $1,000.
Lard - March. s1O.S7; May
$1,000.

. VERSE OF TODAY
THE CROWS Fly HOME.

The fire has edged the pine; the days near done
This side the hill the twilight wraps its shroud
About the trees obscure and blending
shadows
And lays the dew mist on the salty meadows
A silver tongue rims every flaming cloud
And, by one
Crows pass against the glory of the sun.
All day I hate the crows all day shun
Their frightened, ugly gossip, raucous, loud,
But when the rack crawls up and purple
shadows
Stretch flimsy fingers thro' the salty meadows
I face the west, and tho my head is bowed
See, one by one,
The crows fly home against the setting sun.
