PUBLIC OPTION

'There may have been a time
when some public utilities turned
their backs OF public opinion but
that time has certainly passed" said
the operator of large public utility
following the meeting of the Ameri-
can Electric Railway Association at
Indianapolis last month.
At this meeting, one OF the fore
most men in the public utility bust
ness, Samuel insult, President OF
the Commonwealth Edison Company
of Chicago. made speech on the
subject of public Relationship
most important asset for utility"
Mr.. insult very aptly hit the nail on
the head when he said:
"Our trouble lies mainly in the
fact that for a great many years we
lacked understanding of the econom-
les of our business ourselves and that
at this time a knowledge Of the true
economics is confined to few of the
people engaged in those businesses.
What we need worse than anything
else is to sell our business to our
own officials and employees and then
sell it to the public"

GENOA PROMISES MUCH

The prompt manner in which
differences of opinion between the
various delegates to the Genoa con-
ference have been brought to the
front, disclosing the extent of the
chasms which must be bridged if
comfy and understanding is to be
be restored among the nations of
Europe, is good omen. This in it
self is step forward and paves the
way for frank exchange of views.
In view of some recent history,
the French government hardly can
be blamed for being unwilling to
run the risk of losing the fruits of
the treaty of Versailles until some
other means of putting the PROSTATE
nations on their feet have been con-
sidered. One of the great hopes for
the success of the meeting lies in the
British premier's leadership. No
other statesman of the present is so
we'll fitted for the difficult task he
faces.
American public sentiment ap-
proves the admission of the Germans
to the conference. whatever it's
opinion of the propriety Of admit
ting the Bolsheviki as representa-
tives of the Russian people. The OBJ
lection of the French and Belgians
to the inclusion of their former foes
in the membership of the principal
committee is easily understood, but
it is gratifying that they listened to
the British premier's counsel and
changed their attitude.

TOBACCO growers from all over the
United States are interested in the
success OF the Burley Tobacco Grow
ers' Cooperative Association, accord
ing to inquiries received from every
tobacco growing State in the Union
and to the number of personal inves-
legations being made by tobacco
men from the various States.
L. c. Foster, of Madison. Wis.
Deputy Commissioner of the Bureau
OF Markets, is in Lexington to study
the plan OF the hurley association.
Mr.. Foster is one Of the leaders in a
movement in Wisconsin to organize
the tobacco growers along the lines
of'the Kentucky association and has
come here, as he expresses it, "to
get some thunder for the mem
bershlp campaign" which he plans to
start within few weeks.
Mr.. Foster said Wisconsin grows.
annually, about 6O,O0O,0OO pounds
OF cigar type tobacco. He said the
1871 crop sold at an average of
~ cents pound. The 1921 crop
sold last winter for less than Z cents
pound. AS a consequence, he said,
the Wisconsin growers are facing
conditions similar to those that ex-
listed in Kentucky one year ago, and
the growers realize they must or
ganlze for self-protection.
MT. Foster, who has been in con-
ference with officials of the associa-
ton, said he was greatly impressed
by the wonderful progress the orga-
nization has made in so short time,
and he assured these men that,
within a few months, Wisconsin
would join hands with Kentucky.
Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, the Carroll
mas and other States that have
adopted the cooperative plan of
marketing tobacco.
Hugh West, of Hopkinsville, KY,
also visited the associations Offices.
Mr.. West who is from the dark to-
bacco district, and one of the prime
movers in the organization work
there, reports that the prospects for
a cooperative in Western Kentucky
and Tennessee are very encourag
ing.
Plans are being formulated for
beginning within a few weeks an
other intensive campaign for mem
bers. Every county already organ
lied will be recanvassed, but special
effort will be made to sign up the
small percentage of hurley growers
still outside.
Mr.. Stone predicts that in the
near future the Burley Association
will have control of practically the
entire hurley tobacco production.
The field service division report
ed the receipt, during the week, of
lis contracts, representing about
100000 pounds. Of these thirty
were received from Bracken county,
thirteen from Rockcastle and ten
Boone, Kentucky, and nineteen from
Indiana.

FORTY YEARS IN THE NEWSPA
PER BUSINESS
(Courier-Journal


When one picks up a handsome
pamphlet bearing the title. "a HUI
initiating Confession" he is puzzled
by that title; for the pamphlet tells
the story Of Urey Woodson's Messen-
ger, published and edited by him at
Owensboro for forty years. Newspa-
per men knew there is nothing HUI
initiating in that story, and only a
search reveals what humiliation
Mr.. Woodson can confess.
cit is humiliating confession, :"
he says, that, after more than forty
years endeavor to produce one of the
best small dailies in the country, we
have sadly fallen behind in caring
for our own interests; we have fall
ed to establish advertising rates for
the Messenger that are fair to a
newspaper of it's circulation and
merit"
If Urey Woodson has failed in that
then that must be his one failure.
For he has certainly succeeded in
producing lone of the best small
dailies in the country" He has sue
ceeded in making 1t a power in its
territory. He has succeeded in max
ing it so prosperous that it is hous-
ed in a modern newspaper plant and
enables it's proprietor to divert some
of his versatile talents to other lines
of activity, both in business and pol
itics. And his success in these va
rious fields has been such as to ex-
tend his reputation for success, al
journalist and politician, far beyond
the limits of his own State.

MORE MONEY NOT THE NEED

Many persons. some of them pos
ing as teachers of economies of a
certain kind, advocated an increase
in the circulating medium as the
solution Of the trade difficulties of
the times. Others hold that such
increase would be futile, if not dan
gerous, and they point to Europe as
an example of inflated currency.
1t seems strange that any person
who has followed the experience of
most European countries since the
war will still adhere to the idea
that money is something that re-
quires only a government stamp to
make it valuable. Germany, Russia,
Poland and some other countries of
Europe know that this can not be
done.
There is enough money in the
I United States to finance all the
manufacturing and business enter
prises for which there is legitimate
demand in the production of goods
This demand can not be created by
the issue Of large quantities Of cur
rency, but by the inclination to buy
1t is methods, not money, which
the various interests of the United
States need. There must be more
economical distribution of manufact.
ured and agricultural porducts, and
there must be adjustments in other
lines that will make conditions more
normal. When that it done, there
will be money for all genuine needs
of the nation. but if more is needed
the government need not resort to
fiat issues of currency.

Children Cry
FOR FlEIChER'S
. ASTO RI a
u. S. TARS ADOPT
ARMENIAN BOY

Washington, Jan. AFTER losing
his parents in one Of the numerous
Turkish massacres in Armenia and
having as his only habitation an over
turned small boat on the shore of the
Black Sea. a 10-year old Armenian
boy was rescued by American sailors
and liked the navy so well he has
now adopted the name of the ship
as his own.
The youthful refugee now goes by
the name of Harry Overton, after the
L. S. S. Overton, members of whose
crew rescued him from starvation.
He is now aboard the Overton, where
he constitutes an exceedingly active
member of the "gang" performing
all sorts of sailor jobs about the
ship.
He was first found by the crew of
the Overton's motor launch, which
was cruising off Batoum, on the
Black Sea, who picked him up off the
beach and, after feeding him, return
ed to their ship with their mascot,
He spoke Russian. Greek, Armenian.
Turkish and French, but no English.
He soon learned enough English to
tell his story. Following the death
of his parents he had come to the
beach and had existed more than
year under the boat, feeding himself
with scraps washed ashore from pas
sing vessels. He had to be turned
over to another ship when the Over
ton was ordered to Constantinople,
but when the Overton got there the
first boat returning from shore
young Harry who had traced his old
friends across the Black Sea and
was waiting there for them.
What will eventually be done with
him is uncertain, as there are no pro-
visions for bringing him to this coun-
try.

FORTUNE IN RADIUM

the precious element worth the taxi
ing. The three grams of radium in
the Curie Institute are locked in a
lead box each night. This lead cas-
ket is then locked in an ordinary safe.
Editorials in the Paris press suggest
that greater precautions should be
taken to safeguard the treasure,
which has been gotten together with
such difficulty.

course, it is unsafe not to prepare
while the others are doing it. Il
is unsafe for all the others if only
one goes on with preparations. The
only way to disarm, and thus remove
the threat of war and save billions
to the taxpayers of the world, is by
mutual agreement. And that move
| is now receiving the strongest eff.
forts possible by some of the leading
minds in the world at the Washing
ton conference.
But what we need is the will for
peace.
Here every citizen has individual
work to do. Who ha, not thrilled
with pride at seeing a great warship
steaming by with its basket towers,
great guns bristling and the stars and
stripes streaming at the top? But
that ship costs us from 20 to 40 mil
lion dollars and it takes about $780,
900 day out of our treasury to
loaf proudly from one port to anoth-
err. And what is it for? Simply to
destroy human lives and property. 1t
is made and maintained for nothing
else. So the thoughtful citizen may
we'll take less pride in seeing one of
those monsters, even though 1t does
fly our flag. It's only claim to our
affection is that it stands in our de-
tense, but if we can remove the need
of defense how gladly we should see
every death-dealing vessel that rides
the waves sunk to the bottom of the
ocean.
The world is stunned and giddy to-
day from the loss of blood. 1t has
just suffered its most violent attack
of its greatest plague-war. But there
is hope now that it may be perma-
nently cured; that we may finally re-
alize that divine blessing of peace
on earth, goodwill toward men. -

the expense OF another results in loss
to both and to the world in general
for it is to grab portions Of the blaz-
ing deserts, the SICILY jungles and
the frozen rlains remaining to the
backward peoples is to incur blood
shed and suffering, continual trouble,
and the hatred of the other great ma
tions.
Besides, we have learned enough
to know that other peoples are very
much like ourselves; that they have
| the same aspirations and desires and
the same capacity for suffering. Not
to know them was to hate them; to
know them is to love them. Anoth-
err thing we have learned is that we
can gain more by being friends than
by remaining enemies. The progress
of the world has been made in the
times of peace, and largely by nations
associating together and learning
from each other. Others have what
we need and we have wha- they need;
and by friendly intercourse we are
continually advancing NATURALLY and
Intellectually. Another thing has
been learned. Even the so-called
backward people may become civiliz-
ed and progressive by association
with more advanced nations. All
they need is a chance to learn. 1t
has been found great mistake to
feel that they should be conquered
or exterminated. If Carthage and
Greece and Rome had been allowed
to grow up side by side in peace the
world might have been much further
along in progress.
OF late when wars were waged
Zach side has always claimed to be on
the defensive. There is hypocrisy
about that of course, but the good
thing about it is that it shows the
advance of international ethics and
the growing respect nations have for
the public opinion of the world That
really indicates a slow but substan-
tial growth of the ability of the bet
ter-minded among the people of the
earth to preserve peace.
Just as the aggressor claimed to be
fighting in self-defense so the big
nations building navies and armies,
give 1t out that their purpose is de-
Tense. It's hard to combat the ar
gument of the defense of the country
wen though we realize that in that
argument and movement lie the
germs of future wars. The man who
really wants war doesn't usually ad-
vocate it. He goes at it by advocat-
ing preparedness" II you really
want to work for war that is by far
the most efficient way to do it, On
the other hand, the best way to fight
against war is to fight against the
preparation for war. The baby lion
is easily managed; but as he grows
he increases not only in power but in
evil disposition.
Nations have made a great mistake
in preparing so much for war.of

In those years they have packed a

Snow, who knew nothing of TIE

with a stripped down and antiquated
car he could make the lions and leo
pards have proper respect for spark
plugs and carburetors and when the
wild things were fatigued snap them
with camera or rifle at will.
A twenty-mile chase of a herd of
giraffes was but one of the many ex-
periences.
