WITNESSES GO TO SCHOOL

Evidence brought out before the house committee on military affairs tends to arouse the suspicion that some of the witnesses were uttered by the power trust before going to the committee. Such testimony is, of course, worthless once its origin is established. Fortunately the commit tee appears to be fully aware of the covert goings-on and even to be watching with some tolerant amuse- ment the actions of those who thought they were proceeding under cover. You can't fool even congress all of the time.
 Some remarks by various commit teemen indicate that they realize to the fullest extent that the public func- tion of Muscle Shoals is not to run mills in North Carolina or Arkansas. but to turn out fertilizer in time of peace and chemical explosives in time of war. Nor dbes the committee per ceive any betrayal of men "who have

AN EXCEPTION.
By Thomas L. Mason

Does the fault lie with the pa rents? is question constantly asked. The principal of large pre- paratory school for boys told me that he had one boy-the son of a wealthy western parents--who was not up to the standard of the school and was expelled. Application was thereupon made to admit him to an- other school, and the principal was asked by the principal of the other school to give his reason for dismiss sal. Which he did.
 Some time after this, when he had forgotten the incident, suddenly one day he received a wire from the boys mother saying she was coming to see him. About an hour later she and her husband appeared at the school office. They had travelled a long distance to get there.
 The principal saw that he was in for it. He knew them as very wealthy, presumably a1tocratic peo- pie. He had never seen the man, the boys mother having made the original arrangements. He braced himself for the interview, and in a moment he was confronted by the tall, handsome, indignant woman he recalled as having first brought the boy to school. Her husband was a nice looking gentleman, who, hay ing been introduced, sank into a chair while his wife did the talking.
 She was furious because her boy had been treated, as.she said, so un- fairly. T demand to know what you wrote to that other man." she said. You are to blame for their reluctance about admitting him :" The principal couldn't remember ex- actly just what he had written, but there was nothing to do but call his secretary. who produced the fatal letter. Now you read it aloud" exclaimed the woman. "I want my husband to hear it, before we sue you for damages" The principal began in somewhat trembling voice. The letter was rather mild, merely saying the boy had failed and was not amenable to discipline. It then concluded: The whole trouble with this boy is that his mother has completely spoiled him.
 At this the silent husband sud denly jumped to his feet and grasped the hand of the astinished princi- pal.
 My dear friend" he exclaimed, with tears in his voice, it is worth coming thousand miles to hear you say those words"

spoil the effect by seeking to make political capital out of the episode. There is sufficient reward in having saved national defense asset and in having established anew the principle that no man, however high in office, can escape inquiry, if his official acts invite such inquiry.

;n cood faith invested their money in Alabama" in turning the project over to Henry Ford. The logical end of such an argument would be that the first in any industrial field should I have monopoly of that field. Those who have in good faith invested their money in Alabama's water power re- sources must have had their faith fully justified by results up to date or they wouldn't be so anxious to grab the whole thing.
 Aside from the fact that the power
 trust was very contemptuous of Mus
 cle Shoals until Henry Ford saw and
 pointed out its potentialities, it would
 be of far more public value, both to Alabama and to the nation, for this
 power and this entire project to be
 concentrated at its source, in order
 that its results may come forth Tn
 concrete evidence of public profit on
 the public investment. If the power IS
 turned over to a mere distributing
 company, the primary benefit will be
 private one, and the tangible evi'
 dence of public benefit will never
 appear. Alabama, already a power exporting state, can expect no indus l trial expansion from manipulation o1 this plant by the power trust, but in ? evitably perceives that the vast cur , rent will lose its identity in the super , power system envisioned by the trust
 Distribution of current from wate 7 power has its indispensable place il f our industrial scheme, and perhaps - super-power system will also come t : be accepted as of great national bene - fit. But that does not necessarli o mean that every source of power mus 0 be tributary to that system, nor ths d in particular instances the, greate a public good shall be subordinate the scheme. The primary purpose if Muscle Shoals as source of explt 1T sives in time of war must not be lo' e sight of. It is believed that it wi g. not be lost sight of by those wf t. have the national safety and weifal E. as a primary consideration.

THE ooRcAs BIOGRAPHY

Beginning with its FeDruary num- Der the Worlds Work is printing ad- vance chapters from the forthcoming
 biography of General William T. Cor gas, eminent Alabamian born in ! Mobile, or rather at Toulminville, an
 intimate suburb of Mobile. The history
 of the Gorgas family is an interesting
 one. The probability is that, while they
 appear in this country for the first
 time as early Dutch settlers in
 Pennsylvania, the original forebears
 came from Spain during the Spanish
 occupation of the Netherlands. By in-
 ter-marriage with the Dutch, and later
 with American families, the family
 Gorgas has quite identified itself with
 Holland and America.
 It may have been forgotten by
 many that Colonel Gorgas, father of
 General William Gorgas, though na-
 tive of Pennsylvania, was chief of ord
 nance for the Confederate States dur ing the Civil War. His adherence to the Southern cause was due partly to long residence in the South and , partly perhaps to his marriage to a Southern girl, Miss Amelia Gayle,
 daughter of Governor John Gayle of 1 Alabama, although the biographer a tells us that his Southern wife made x no effort to influence his allegiance Colonel Gorgas' achievement in creat' , ing ordnance and munitions where be- n fore there had been none is still con h sidered as unique in military annals . General William T. Gorgas perhaps was peculiarly inclined by his earl! l. experience to study and to seek t' ,- control parasitic and blood diseases a He passed through the horrors of sev if eral outbreaks of yellow fever, an d undoubtedly had constantly befor s- him the ravages of malaria. Thes h. two diseases were the especial object IT. of his later study and successfr $. health campaigns.

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY

Dreaming in an easy chair,
 On his knees an open book; Calmn contentment serves him tF.ere In his noisetess httle nook Youth passed by him long ago. Rest has com. tl klm, at length; Where the stream; Of traffic flow He no longer tries his strength. He has left ambitions strewn
 Here and there along the way, And through all the afternoon Dozes as the peaceful may. He will rush no more to lead
 Where commercial armies clash Long ago he ceased to heed
 When he heard the call of cash. All his busy days are past,
 On his brow is many a seam: Now he has the time, at last,
 To sit down and read and dream. No one urges him to rise
 And be striving for success; He is tempted by no prize
 To be cold and merciless. Calm contentment and sweet peace Keep his later hopes unmarred; Time has brought him his release From a bondage that was hard. Ger his good, gray head there gleams Something that the years supply; Others passing where he dreams Pity him-I don't know why.

Ths lake froitt of Chicako is not .ha nroperty of Herman Kreudins opd Elizabeth Sfhmidt. according to z 4 decision of the secretary of the in terior today. . Last April thd claimants started ! .hs;r ease to thd department. tIt nroved 5to be e$Od story, jYG As ail other similar fAses prove to De s, good I stories. and| the nsyfpapers were full of it. F
 It was romantic in that t ten,led to demonstrate what effect q minor act of today might have fifty years hence. When the alleged patent was given the alleged original bene- ficiary. the lake fropt was compara. lively worthless. Now it would bring millions upon h illions of dol dol lars.
 The claim was ,6ased on an al legged occupation q the property by Peter T. Johnstaf. who. it was con. tended, had clpkmed it in lSo9 through milVary. bounty land war rant, and thEson operated bath house ~
 Apt,licatj64 for patent to the land was Ief lied on the ground that the area 1a yolyed is not public land pf the Jaxed States; that. the land. I,eyen isr blic. is not nowfand never has I'd Subject to location under a millax bounty or any other bounty lad Arrant; that while Peter 1T. .Ibf lon was owner of the land
 Int. he did not locate or at bt to. locate 1t on. the land in
 estion, but transferred the war
 Int which was later satisfied by ! patent to tract of land in Flor ida i; that Herman Kreuding and Elizabeth Schmidt have no right, title or interest in and to the war rant; and that Kreuding was ad- vised long prior to the time he 'se- cured an alleged interest in the land that the purported warrant locat;on was void. $"
 The claimants might go to, the courts, of course. But it is entirely probable that Herman and Elizabeth. who were featured in the news year ago, nave permanently diSap- peared from the limelight into the oblivion which previously engulfed them,
 But this may be said of old Peter T.. Johnston. When he surrendered the lake shore front in what is now Chicago for lake front in Florida, probably because the climate was more appealing to those who like to swim, he put into practice the present day motto: When busi- ness interfercs with pleasure, neg lect business"
 At that he might have been a pretty good old fellow. Few l..,i in 1869, foresaw the Chicago of today. And was it Milton---or the ancient and honorable Bobo--who declared % purblind race of mortal men !"?
