Water VS.. Coal.

The great coal strike of this year
brings the couny a long step near
to the time when none of US will care
if they don't mine any coal at all.
The American people are becom-
ing very tired Of high coal prices
and the everlasting coal strikes.
They realize that a thousand rivers
and high lakes in this country are
capable of producing hundreds Of
millions of electrical horsepower,
and they are more and more intent
that government and capital shall
develop the energy now going to
waste. The great muddy Missouri
when properly harneSSed will fur
nish 100000 horsepower and the
Mississippi much more. Even the
creeks running through the farmers
back lots can be utilized and with
the latest inventions their low power
turned into cheap heat as well as
light for the farmers houses and
barns.
1t is only few years since it was
believed that electricity could not be
carried great distance without eN-
pensive loss Of energy. The plants
at Niagara were producing more pow
er than could be usd by Buffalo and
nearby towns on this and the Canad-
ian side. Then came an invention
or two and the Niagara power was
carried as far as Syracuse, nearly
$50 miles in bee line. Now the
engineers are laying out route
from the Niagara plant to Yonkers,
suburb Of New York city, a distance
of more than 800 miles in a straight
line.
That means that the coal-electric
light and power companies will have
competition. Then watch the fur fly
as between coal and water.-Ameri-

Government A Dangerous
Buzz Saw.

Perhaps the strongest bulwark Of
the political boss is the almost uni
versal belief that principles are
greater than men. Scarcely village,
town, county or state that has not
slipped over undesirable candidates
as against decent men because Of
this conviction, so frequently in fact
that il is time we turned the micro
scope on this very vital assumption.
Morals are largely geographical and
always subject to the times. The
theory of right today may be wrong
tomorrow. In the early days princi-
pies in government may have been
more vital than men. Indeed this
may be true today, but it is certain
that today the character Of the men
we choose to serve us is more vital
than ever before in history, for in
matters Of government we are COM
PEELED TO put blind faith in the men
we chose to serve us. Government
has become so highly technical, so
amazingly complex, that it is quite
beyond the understanding Of the
average individual. The subtleties
of civic finance, the intricacies of
export trade, the complexities Of
transportation problems by land and
sea, the technique Of tariff, the be-
wildering, contradictory elements
entering into scientific taxation, not
TO speak of the dazing problems of
foreign relations, have removed gov
ernment so far from the ken of the
average citizen that he has lost all
touch with it; he feels it is some
thing with which he has grave con-
cern, but in which he dares not to
express an opinion. His happiness,
his welfare, depend on the skill with
which these technical problems are
confronted, yet they can be man.

The public will save approximately

elimination of the war tax on express
shipments. according to American
Railway Express company officials.
Thereve-ar act of192l eliminates the
war Ia OF one cent on every 20 cents
and fractions thereof on transpOrta-
ton charges on all express ship
ments. This tax during the year of
1920 amounted TO SlT,502, 918. The
average transpoi alton charge for
each express shipment was approx
mately $50 and the average war tax
for each shipment was cents. The
elimination of the tax. therefore, will

Six Lives Lost in Lake Superior
in 1921.

For the first time in many years a
season of navigation on Lake Super
Tor has passed without the usual list
Of boat disasters and the loss of life
which clouds marine records as a re-
suit.
The 1921 season Of navigation has
practically ended and in the Office of
G. NJ Gooding and J. H. Hanson,
nited States steamboat inspectors
for this district, only one death-deal-
ing disaster is recorded. That was
the loss of the tow barge, Miizec,
which went to the bottom during a
storm of WhiteGsh Point, last May,
carrying the crew of six men to their
doom.
There are two reasons why Lake
Superior has not claimed it's usual
number Of victims this year. The first
is that not more than one-half the
normal number of vessels sailed the
lake. The second is that the season
passed with one or two severe storms.
the worst being that in which the
MitZec was lost.
There were few minor accidents
on the lake, resulting in damage to
vessels. and one collision which
might have had serious results, was
reported and Investigated by the in
spectoTs. The danger OF collisions
was almost nil because of the small
number of vessels in operation.
Old Superior and particularly that
part of it off Whitefish point, known
as the graveyard of the lakes" will
have to wait another year, at least,
before it can snap up the number of
human lives that it usually does when
the lake is crowded with heavily
laden carriers and vessel lanes are

What State Forestry Aims to
ACCOMPLISH.

The state has three detectives in
forestry. One is to provide as much
of the raw materials needed by the
people in the state as is possible:
second. to secure the general public
benefits that are derived from the
existence of well-managed forests,
such as the protection of watersheds
of rivers and the service of the forests
for RECREATION; and third, to make
the forests of the state serve in the
building up of local industries and in
the rehabilitation of the agricultural
sections that for the last fifty years
have been on the decline.
The state cannot hope to be entire
ly self-suppOrling in the production
of forest products that are needed by
her industries and in her everyday
life New England is very much in
the position of France before the war.
4 certain portion of her needs for
wood products were supplied from
the homegrown forests. A consider
able amount of construction lumber
and of specialized materials of high
grade had to be imported.
Every foot of good material that
can be raised in the state will be of
value to the people, for the necessity
to import from other parts of the
country means an additional burden
TO the user.-Ex-Chief Forester Col

LESSON OF THE LglpsIc CASES.

- ESONN " --ff ~
The acquittal Of General StengeF,
the first high German officer TO be
placed On trial for war crimes, prob
ably win convince the allies that they
went to the wrong court for justice.
Just Why It should have been shock
to tae French legal mission which at
tended the trial at Lelpsic IS not plain
The accused was tried In his or
country. By his own countrgmen
aecusers were French. His crimes
we're against Frenchmen What could
the allies have expectedf Frightfui-
ness was the first article Of war taught
to Germans. To Inspire fear was
the duty Of every German officer, and
the history of the var illustrated how
effective that teaching had been. The
doctrine Is now upheld By the Leip-
sic court. says the Kansas City Star.
The lesson to the allies, If they still
needed it, Is that Germany, or at any
rate. the governing class Of which the
Leipsic court is representative, is still
milltarstic. That class knows no
such thing as war crimes. II was its
creed. and evidently still is. that no
act committed by a German by which
a non-German suffers is or can be q
crime.

Probably few of the people who
break the Eighteenth Amendment
realize the serious consequences which
mag attend their acts.
The welfare of ourselves aud our
prosperity 10 insured to US by the
Constitution alone. aud for that rea-
son We should be loyal and obedient
to ali its provisions. The instrument
which our fathers fashioned was not
perfect; it has been necessary to
amend it a number of times. But
those who framed it realized that no
inflexibIe instrument which they
might form, no matter how nearly
perfect 1t might be, would meet all
future requirements For that reason
the power Of amendment was given
10 the people To guard against rash
enthusiasm, however. the process of
amendment was not made easy Our
constitution cannot be changed in
the slightest degree without the con-
sent of the majority of the people.
But when an amendment has once
been made, when it has been ratified
by twO-thirds of our entire citizen
ship, it Is as sacred as the original
constitution, and any attempt to
weaken the force and effects of that
amendment is an attempt to weaken
the constitution. If one part Of the
constitution can be rendered null and
void. gradually other parts will be
altered, and the liberty and welfare
of the people Of the United States
viii 40 longer rest upon sure founda-
son. Before We lightly break the
US laid down to enforce the Eight
9TH Amendment, we should care
ally consider what may be the ultim-
consequences of our acts.
