THE Mosr PoWEKFUL CouNrRY

The United States is literally the
most powerful country in the world,
according to a statement made by DR..
Thomas 7. Read OF the federal bureau
of mines.
The real basis Of power of a ma
ton is its energy resources. rather
than its man-power strength" said
I'r. Read. The modern wa to use
the energy of a man is 10 e~,plcy 1t
in way similar to the little detona-
tor OF the big explosive shell; the
little charge sets off the big one and
does an amount OF work far in excess
OF its own capacity. The energy OUT
put OF an average workman is about
a tenth OF q horsepower. The energy
expended by a coal miner in an s.
hour day thus amounts to about that

The American miner gets out $500
pounds of coal in a day and so null

PLATRoRNE PLEDGES.

The Republican platform adopted
in 1920 discussed the tariff question
in the following language:
The uncertainty and unsettled con-
dition of international balances. the
abnormal and economic trade situa-
ton of the world. and the impossi-
buity of forecasting accurately even
the near future. preclude the formu-
lation of a definite program to meet
conditions a year hence. But the Re
publican party reaffirms its belief in
the protective principle and pledges
itself TO a revision of the tariff as
soon as conditions shall make it nee
essary for the preservation OF the
home market for American labor, ag-
ricuIture and industry"
Nobody will object to the majority
party's standing up for the principles
Of protection so long as it does not
put them into practice and this it
seems in no hurry to do.
1t will be noted in the platform
statement above quoted that the Re
publican party did not declare its in
ability TO frame a tariff law. 1t
merely declared that unsettled condi-
lions at that time, June, 1920, pre-
cluded the formulation OF a definite
program to meet conditions "a year
hence" A year and nine months have
elapsed since that declaration was
made and conditions which constitute
a necessity for legislation apparently
have not yet developed. at least there
has been no enactment of a perma-
nent tariff law. The much abused
Underwood law placed in the statute
books about ten years ago still is do
ing business at the old stand.

A w0RD FOR MOTORISTS.

From little over a million automo-
biles in 1912 there are now over ten
and one-half million in use. repre-
senting nearly 1000 per cent increase
in the period covering the last decade.
Unfortunately however, says a
writer in Leslie's. state laws have not
kept pace with the improvement in
car design which has resulted in the
marked increase in the number of
1 automobiles in use In fact, a curve
showing legislative improvements
would, in many instances, tend down
ward and indicate retrogression rather
than advance. This is especially true
in those states the legislatures of
which look upon the motorist as prey
from whom to extort all kinds of Ii
! cense fees and taxes which shall be
! used. not only in the upkeep of the
highways, but in defraying other state
expenses from which all citizens are
supposed to neutrality-suspicious. as
well as automobiles. There is no
doubt that the ten and one-half mil
lion cars in use in this country must
be regulated and the activities of GER
tain types of drivers restricted with
in safe and sane limits.
Were every driver so courteous and
thoughtful OF others as to dim his
headlights whenever he sees a car
approaching from the other direction,
the writer continues. there would be
no need for headlight legislation and
inspection which restrict the type of
headlight lenses to those which will
not create a bewildering glare; were
all motorists certain to restrict their
speeding to smooth level straight
always and to stay on Their own side
OF the road when rounding blind turns
or topping the crest of a hill, there
would be no need for various speed
regulations and the motorcycle manu-
facturers would doubtless suspend op-
to the making OF vehicles for speed
cops
But restrictive legislation is neces-
sary and no aggregation is so ready
to admit and encourage this as the
motorists themselves. The motorist
has certain rights, however. and one
OF these 1t is contended should bs a
protection against the careless use of
the highway by the pedestrian.

OF gross careiessness and held liable
not only for his own injuries. but
morally at least for the nervous per

anna, at either end of the canal and
lying within the ten-mile strip. These
cities are not American territory,
however. a particular exception hav-
ing been made of them
Naturally American influence is
strong in these cities, particularly in
Panama City, the capital, and there,
too, strong opposition to American
interference has developed For
getting the American responsibility for
Panama being free at all. there have
been outbursts of this feeling from
time to time.
In all of these troubles the policy
has been to smooth and calm down
the excitable natives and discuss the
troubles openly as little as possible
For underlying everything else in
nearly every one of these cases is the
always troublesome color question
and the fact that arguments avail lit

gard each other with true fraternal
