An American Nile.

From the ST. Joseph Nems-Press.
Mr.. Herbert Hoover calls the Colo
rado River the American Nile. in an
article in Nations Business. The ques-
tion Of its disposal affects seven states
and the federal government, also Mex
leo. The consultations OF their repre-
sentaiiyes have provoked much dis
sension. yet there are some conspicuous
points Of agreement. Ii is agreed. for
instance, that a gigantic storage dam
shall be built. probably at Boulder
canyon. that must be twice as high as
any existing dam. II will hold back
more water than any other, making a
lake over fifty miles long. which will
require nearly two years flow of the
river to fill to its high level.
This river has so much water
at high stages that it becomes men
ace. and yet its lower basin can use
more water than is delivered at low
stages. Ii is a strange river, flowing
in one part Of its course through
abysmal depths and then debouchins
into the sea on the top Of a ridge.
Its improvement has national sig
nificance. for the prospective addition
Of 100000 acres or more Of produc-

Newspaper Influence.

I
From the Marshalitoun, Iopd, Times-Re
publican.
Senator Kenyon, in one of his burning
speeches demanding the unseating Of
Newberry, spoke Of the press Of the State
Of Michigan as having been "subsidiz-
ed" So it is reported. There the sena-
tor stopped over. When any orator, soap
box or senatorial, accuses the press of a
state as subsidized, bought and sold, the
choice in analysis seems to lie between
ignorance or demagogism. For, despite
the soap-boxers and the agitators Of one
and another degree. the press neither Of
the country nor Of any state in the Union
is, has or can be subsidized" 1t is be-
side the Newberry case entirely. the aS-
cusation thus indirectly brought against
the press of the country. Some indi-
vidual newspaper may be subsidized" !"
Some senators may be for sale and sub
sidization.
But the senate is not commercial
item Of barter. nor is the press on the
market 10 the high bidder. 1t is unwise
talk More than that. it is unworthy ac-
cusation TO bring against the press. The
press of the country, individually, and
collectively. is more frank, more out
spoken with better judgment when it
does speak than the senate individually
and collectively. And i, is quite as
honest in its public service, individual
ly ard collectively, as any legislative
body.

AyOCATIONS.

I'VE live by our vocations; we live for
our avocations' says an old adage. This
would seem the case from the testimony
Of dozens of physicians, mental experts
and alienists. One Of the grayest dangers
TO the health Of a man and tyrant which
threatens to diminish the term Of life is
an unremitting adherence to ones yoca-
lion. To get into a rut from which one
never struggles causes more nervous dis
orders. insomnia and insanity than any
other single cause, say physicians.
The man with a fixed idea, who has no
interests outside his vocation, is heading
for a nervous breakdown says the alienist.
His cure can almost always be affected by
the substitution Of another idea, or mode
Of action. Hence, an avocation is nothing
more or less than safety valve.
Cultivate an svocation. Most Of us
have one, and the majority Of US believe
that if our avocation were only our voca.
lion, fame and riches would long since
have been ours. Perhaps your ayocation
is amateur theatricals, or il may be golf,
or the collecting Of anything from butter.

problems. Whatever may be accepted as
wsrthy ethical principles in any case, we
offer the following, as presented by Col
lier's Weekly for fair consideration:
"To be humble by the responsibility
rather than exalted by the power Of the
printed word.
To seek the truth diligently and write
il simply.
To hold his pen to strict account for
intempersncc and exaggeraiion.
To judge no man nor speak i'll Of him
unless by doing so comes greater good.
To speak plainly about public evils
without fear.
To keep an open heart for the needs Of
those who toll and an car ready TO ih,
cry Of the unfortunate.
To visit scorn upon those whose power
or wealth is earned by the oppression Of
the poor.
To expose scheming and hypocrisy in
high places.
To accep, fair criticism with candor
and misunderstanding with a smile.
To abaie no jot Of his convictions,
whether to reader or adyeTtises for mon
cy's sake.
To picture the world as God made it,
darkened occasionally by war and pas
sion, but Frightening from year to year as
man deals more justly with his brother
and as he sees more frequent and less
broken glimpses Of the divine plan."

RETAIL MERCHANTS HELP.

In order to keep a city upon a stan
dard Of high civic improvement, il be-
comes necessary to have wide-awake CIV
.ic organisations who will work toward
that goal The people Of a community
always follow better behind stable or
eanizaiion that courageously takes the
lead. Such leadership cannot be assumed
by any one individual. We have some
striking examples Of one man towns.
The work Of the Retail Merchants As
sociations merits high commendaiion. 1t
has been instrumental to large degree
fer the high standard Of living which CO.
lumbians enjoy. The price for the culling
out Of the struggling human parasites who
would otherwise flourish from the efforts
of others, cannot be oyerestimaied. 1t is
Undoubtedly worth something 10 know
Just 10 what measure you can trust your
neighbor; it is worth infinitely more to
know when and where you can be Of as
sisiance 10 him. In a city where there !
is much coming and going there is always |
an occasional business derelict who has
become the subject Of misfortune.
The policy Of the associations has been
TO render the assistance of the Good Sa-
maritan TO such men, and to protect them
from further misfortune. The presence Of
a like institution in a city is a guaran-
tee of progress, prosperity and thrift. 1t
is hub around which all business ac-
tiyites of the city revolve, and it is vital
" concerned with the life Of the town.
Columbia and other cities here repre-
sented, are fortunate in having such as
sets. The splendid work of the associa-
iion is worthy Of the praise Of the states
citizens.

The Way to Do 1t.
M the New York Mail.

Fron, the New York Mail.
The Pennsylvania Railroad and its
employees have put their heads together
and agreed on a new wage scale. The
agreement was arrived al without the
threat Of lockout or strike. The Of
ficial statement adds that it was ne
gotiaicd without outside interference,
which means, Of course. that ii was
negotiated without the help or hindrancc
Of International trade unions.
We are not discussing here whether
or not the Pennsylvania should recog-
nize the International unions. All We
wish to emphasize is that the method
Of conference is the method which
should prevail in the settlement Of in
dustrial disputes. Sometimes it is
tedious; almost always it involves give
and take. Nobody ever gels all he
wants. but he gets more than he would
get from a strike or a lockout.
These conferences, if properly con-
Quoted, should help to build up a
sense of mutual interest between en-
ployer and employed. These two are
absolutely dependent on each other. Yet
sometimes they act as if their interests
we're antagonis;ic or as if either were
the whole industry. That is not so.
And the more il is realized, the more
willing will employers be TO pay living
wages and establish healthy conditions
Of work; the more willing, likewise, will
employees be 10 give Of their best in
stead of as little as they can get away

THE NEW BOOKS
Facing Reality.

during the last century and a half has
transformed the conditions Of human
life. Its ever increasing pace and com.
plexiiy call for a corresponding advance
in mental and social organization.
NO such advance has been made OF
seriously attempted. We have gone on
feverishly improving the machines and
leaving the rest TO chance; in conse.
quence, our increased powers have been
turned TO wasteful and mutually destruc-
tive purposes. We have the power TO
smash civilization to pieces and both in
the international and domestic spheres
are preparing to use it, for want of a
sane attempt to order our affairs to the
best advantage"
The urge TO this sane attempt and
the discussion Of the calamity that is
sure to follow neglect of this urge is
the theme Of Esme Wing6eld-Stratford
in his book Facing Reality"
Life, during this last century and one
half, contends the author, has been Just
ono round after another Of orgies in
tine line of least resistance. Its main
duty seems to have been to avoid real
ity. Reality presents too much inhibi-
tion to the mental slough the human
brain has sunk into. Mankind has sunk
into mental inertia In the present age
Of evolution in intellect, knowledge may
be obtained more easily and perhaps it
we're better TO think, but it certainly is
far more comfortable not to think. Think.
ing is sure TO imply doubt. Doubt is
always harassing ard no one wants to
be harassed when there is any possible
chance of avoiding it.
The young man who wishes to be
rec from doubt will keep himself in
pious ignorance Of anything that might
weaken his faith. The desire, thus
constantly pandercd to, to avoid the
trouble Of thought grows by what j,
feeds upon till at last it becomes over.

tive land in the lower basin will add
materially to the whole country s
wealth. Ii is said that this feature is
arousing opposition from agricultural
interests because both the Eastern and
Middle Western farmers do not want
any more competition at home just
now and are likely 10 think that the
federal government should not be the
agency of increasing agricultural pro-
duction when there appears TO be al
ready too much to permit profitable
returns. Yet the broader, foresighied
viewpoint demands that the government
continue TO provide new homes on the
land so long as it can be done and so
long as the people want them.
1t would appear. however, that the
grave engineering difficulties Of the
dam are no greater than the human
problems involved in its sanction.
