JUNKETING COMMITTEE AVOID
ARIZONA---WHY?

The congressional junketing committee very
carefully went around Arizona in their "investi-
cation" trip ostensibly to look over proposed
damsites. They went to Boulder Canyon in Ma
vada, where they were welcomed by Los Angeles
propagandsts and escorted through southern
California to Imperial valley and were permitted
to touch Arizona soil at Yuma. Whether side
stepping Arizona so carefully was the result of
Senator Ashurst and Congressman Haydens eff
forts does not appear, but in any event it was
apparent that the committee was most closely
guarded against Arizona probably for fear they
might be prejudiced against Boulder Canyon.
Just why this committee so studiously avoid
ed Arizona and the Glen Canyon damsite is
rather difficult to explain since it was presum-
ably out on a trip to gather information. Pos
sibly the committee was shunted around into
California in order that their minds might be
properly made up for them in accordance with
the wishes of Los Angeles interests.
The civil engineers of Arizona by a large ma
ority favor Glen Canyon damsite and the devel-
opment of Arizona rather than be made the tail
to Los Angeles kite.
Federal experts who have spent a good many
years investigating every phase of the Develop
ment of the Colorado river favor the Glen Can
yon site, but by some strange freak the upper
tendon among federal officials seem intent on
making it Boulder Canyon or nothing The fed
eral geologists sent out to make an examination
Of the side walls of Glen Canyon spent couple
vi tLSIC I0h1llS oo@lIplGS Ol IOCh IU01f re-
port was inclined to be unfaVorable, especially
to a rock filled dam. No one is tied irrevoc-
ably to rock-filled dam, but something had to
be done to prevent the site nature provided from
being used instead of the Nevada site. Bedrock
at a reasonable depth at Glen Canyon was passed
the fact that at Boulder Canyon it would be nee
essary to sink to 134 foot bedrock level before
a dam could be started.
Still by the time congress meets again inves-
tigators and some others may be made to see
the light.

THE PLAIN TRUTH

with our increasing American tendency to
write our prejudices upon the statute books and
to turn personal preferences, if we can, into law,
we are jeopardizing our ancient freedom more
and more seriously. Legislatures can be momen-
tarily frightened into doing almost anything"
says Mrs Goroul.
Commenting on this phase Of national ques-
tion the New York Times says
This is the uncean spirit of coercion, and it
ought to be exercised Organized fanaticism
whether it make the law, or break it, is the en-
eny. Artistic and literary censorship is at once
joke, an imposition and nuisance. Prcpagan-
da of many sorts is at work all the time 1t may
be that as the socialist state is built up without
acknowledging its origin, liberty will became
great congeries of prohibitions, but either the
majority wants restrictions upon it's liberty or
isn't clever and brave enough to resist them.
Action at the polls is needed, not lamentation
about an imaginary throttling Of free speech and
the triumph of fanatics. Let us either smash
zealotry or stop whining about it."

MOVIE LOVE AND MONEY

We are pleased to note that the press associa-
tions of Charlie Chaplin and Pola Negri were re-
sun1ed after the wires were down for four soul
searching hours. What the world needs to
know nowadays, more than all else, is just how
their hearts are beating; what sort of lip-stick
Pola packs and if Charles feet act that way be-
cause he washes his feet in hyphenated waters
instead Of using "hippity-hop' for his hair. What
the hull spifflicated world is honing most to
know is whether Poa loves Charles moustache,
feet or salary most. And too, we the American
people at large, demand to know by telegraph
every morning and evening, whether Charlie had
hot cakes, griddle cakes or pancakes for break
fast-and if they agreed with him, and the Ne
gri girl. One may overlook few delicious Ar
menian massacres, a few intermingled octangled
marriages and New York money MURDERS but
hope springs internal in the eternal breast, for
movie love in cottage where the whole world
can see.

EMBALMED HOPE

A papyrus found in King Tuts tomb is said to
describe the failure Of an attempt in the Fourth
Dynasty to develop the waters of the Nile The
project was opposed by the people of Quma, that
is, upper Egypt, on the ground that it would
somehow inure to the benefit of the people of
Ta-neh, the Delta. They also wanted to pre-
serve the Nile as heritage to posterity. 1t was
some fifty centuries later that the Nile was
damned and improved Some time, we suppose,

Macdonald, late of the A. f. F., and
still yearning for adventure, had hied
himself to one of the South Sea isles
and there taken unto himself a native
bride. Unfortunately the dusky beau
ty's mother elected herself one of the
party and Mac had been unable to
shake her off during the honeymoon.
The loving couple were passing
through the forest, closely attended
by the older lady, when large, ripe
cocoanut fell, bouncing neatly off the
head of the unlimited chaperon and
sending her to bye-bye. Macdonald
watched the occurrence with interest
and then, squeezing the girl tightly,
whispered:

Let your women keep silence in

unto them to speak" So spoke Paul
But that was COrinth-and this is
Holly: which makes all the differ
ence in the world So all were de-
lighted to hear Mrs Scarffe give
the message last Sunday evening In
place of her husband. But even
she admitted that her husband of
ten said that ''wOman's right place
was in the home and that she
would rather wash dishes than try
to preach. But all who were pre-
sent believed that she had found
her right place in the pulpit
She gave an exp0silOry sermon
from Rev 22:17. The Spirit and
the bride say cone. and let him
that hearth say come, and let him
that is athirst come: and whose
ever will, LET him take the water
of life freely"
This Is the blessed and wOndrOus
invitation. 1t is needful for us to
make preparation for the Heavenly
city. There is no need we should
not be ready God loves this world
supremely and after the disaster in
the Garden of Eden his Fathers
heart so yearned over the world
that he sent his son to redeem men.
'.rhe Spirit says,come." The spirit
of God knocks at every hearts door.
Without him no one would take
Christ. Many who have heard have
refused. Not to chosen few but
to all God calls. We are often ex-
elusive in our invitation but God
never is. We often cause jealousy
and ill-feeling by limiting our In
vitation but everyone may say,
"5asus included me-"
''rhe Bride says, come. The bride
is the church. 1t is the business
of the church to extend this invit-
alton to all mankind. Many con-
ceive of the church as only place
of entertainment for Well-dressed
crowd ministered to by fine man
nered> preacher and by well paid

in all mankind, the poor, the ignor-
.snt and the Outcast. =. ~, j
Let him that hearth say come.

are to tell the news!

of it! If we have found bargain
counter how eager we women are
to announce it! But how slow we
are to tell of Gods power, Like the
Samaritan woman who left her

SO now the humblest may now
serve Him.
Let him that is athirst come
The early explorers sought the
