plants and transmission lines. About
eight years would be required for the
work.
Costs Would Be Less
These interests already control a
considerable part Of the power de-
veloped at Niagara Falls. The new
plan provides for increased installa-
lions there to bring the total avail
able for use in the United States up
to the limit possible under present
treaties with Canada-51S,0 900 horse
power. This would make about AGO.
900 horsepower from Niagara avail
able for diversion to New YORK.
1t is estimated tina the st. Lawrence
project, as proposed. will develop
about coo, 900 kilowatts.
The cost o. the Niagara power, de-
livered at Paterson, N. j., is estimated
at 81 mills per kilowatt hour.
Power from the st. Lawrence
plants, delivered at Utica and Schenec-
tady, would cost at those points about
4.6 per kilowatt hour. From those
distributing centers, transmission lines
would carry it at a slightly higher
price to New England load centers.

Torture of Chinese DeSerterS

Up this street marched part of the
Chinese army, most Of it in double file.
This is the only way they could pass
through the Canton streets.
There was no way Of telling what
was going on. Some companies car
ried hogs drugged with aniseed for
food. They were to be seen here and
there throughout the city at intervals
all day.
About 4 o'clock in the afternoon 1

deserters. Our company came down
the bund and halted Immediately in

was anchored. Two men were

posted and a proclamation in Chinese
was posted on the pole above their
heads. The company then marched
away. leaving them in the blazing
sun. surrounded by a crowd OF curious
Chinese who were trying to read the
proclamation.

crisis that immediate steps to harness
approximately 1000, 900 horsepower Of

are believed certain.
The interests behind the proposed
development, as known in Washington
where negotiations for the necessary
power permits have been under way
are: The General Electric Company;
the Aluminium Company of America
and the Du Points.
Applications for permits, however,
are made in the names of the Louis

project it Is intended to merge the two
concerns under the maine Of The From

On certain lines in the West, how

roads seriously taking UP the problems
are:
The Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul,
the Union Pacific, the Santa Fe, the

two years.
In addition to fuel savings there is
a tremendous saving in operating ex-

a minimum Of minor repairs, whereas
the steam engine requires laying UP,
having fires pulled, CRATES cleaned and
tubes inspected at the end Of each
Givision-usually about each 100 miles.
With electric engines, the numbers

The Presidents Fool Friends

n NE of the h~ardships of the presidency is that minor-and es-
peGaly amateur-polticians, are everastingly putting the
Administration on trial' in purely local fights.
California is the latest case in point. Hiram johnson run
ming in a State primary for denomination to the United States
Senate, meets opposition.
The opposition selects the issues upon which it will fight the
Senator. It chooses two. First that Johnson was not loyal in
the Hughes campaign and, second, that he has been sin habitual
opposition to President Harding's policies"
Thus while the President is struggling with the coal and rail
tie-ups and while he is seeking some way to avert a national dis
aster next winter, he is put on trial in a great and pivotal State.
Johnson cheerfully accepted the issue and won, hands down.
Thus the Presidents friends engineer a slap at the President
more direct than that of any previous State primary.

BOSTON, Aug. 31.-With the State

bubbling merrily for what is expected
to be the greatest battle of ballots in

Senator Henry Cabot Lodges fight

AS a result Of much criticism Of the

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Warren
G. Harding is President. We all know
that. But is he happy? That's some
thing we don't know. We have to
guess at it. My guess is that he isn't
happy-and 1 think that is because
cant see how he can be.
Harding is called the first citizen OF
the Republic. Imagine all that goes
with the job, by way of eminence,
power and all that-yet he is still a
human being, and as much the play.
thing Of his own emotions as any
of us.
Must Think When Alone
He a be careful in what he says
aloud. He can so conduct himself
as to appear to be all that he thinks
a President is expected to be. But
he can't help thinking when he's
alone. And what we think when we're
alone-what we think OF ourselves and
our jobs something we can't get
away from. The wiser a mar is the
harder he finds it to fool himself. He
may look any part he is picked to play,
but can he think it?
It is often said that our President
has more power than the King of
England. That may be true, but what
a President actually can do is linn
tied. The most potent influences are
political debts incurred in getting the
job. Constitutional limits to his pow
er wouldn't bother him.
So a President can't run the Gov
eminent as he would a private bust
ness. He must submit to the judg-
ment of the party managers. Large
contributors TO party campaign fund
want their moneys worth. Many
want special privileges.
Demands That Are Made
To illustrate. coal operators might
want the Government to keep its
hands off while they bring on a strike.
Ct cate a sellers market and rob the
people outrageously. Big bankers in
control of railroads and vast indus
trial concerns may want the Govern
nent to help them crush trades union
ism. Some want their friends made
Federal judges. Others want under
!ings in positions to grant taxation
favors. A few may want only the
honor that goes with a diplomats ap.
pointment.
These are debts a partisan Presi.
dent IS expected to pay.
A President. may plunge head over
heels into political debt, but once he
enters the White House he begins to
think of his place in history. He
wants to serve his country. He would
really like to do the right thing and
Just what is the right thing to do be.
comes almighty perplexlng when ne
begins to think the part.
Evidence of Sincerity
Did you read President Harding's
strike message to Congress? II you
read it thoughtfhlly you probably saw
in it the sincere effort Of n man try
ing to be honest with himself and his
country, though painfully conscious
all the way through Of what the po-
litical creditors Of his party thought
they had a right to expect-and which
he couldn't conscientiously give.
How can any man Of any party be
President under such circumstances
and be happy?
