Potomac Power Bill.


hydro-electric power from the Po-
tomac River has been ordered favor
ably reported to the House by the
House District committee by a vote
of to 5. The bill is based on
the Tyler report and plan for putting
the Potomac to the work of produc.
ing electric current. The engineers s
estimate of cost for the work is
committee shows that its opinion as
to the virtue Of the bill Is nearly
evenly divided and a minority report
will be made to the House.
All the engineers opinions that
have been registered hold that the
plan is feasible and that the upper
Potomac, with its tributaries. is a
mighty possibility for the creation of
saving in dollars and cents between
the price Of Potomac made electricity
and coal-steam made electricity would
Justify the cost of the project, there
is division of engineering opinion. 1t
is a question on which the layman
must hesitate to give an opinion, but
there are certain general principles
and facts which many laymen can
know as well as any engineer. One
of these is that the trend throughout
the world is toward the use of falling
water for the creation OF electric
current. The laynnan knows that
throughout the United States there is
demand for more power and cheaper
power, that the supply of coal is
diminishing and that at some time it
will be exhausted. Yeaf by year
coal becomes more costly and that
price increase is reflected in the cost
cessful hydro-electric engineers and
hydro-electric companies are steadily
reaching out for more water power
and there is a contest between States
stream flow for the production Of
power. There Is more water power
in the Potomac than in many streams
which are producing electric power
at a profit and engineers reports for
nearly so years have been showing
that the Potomac may be made to de-
velop mighty electric energy.
The present plan calls for impound-
ing the water of several feeder
streams of the Potomac to maintain
constancy of flow. but the production
of electric power is to be only on that
part of the river between Great and
Little Falls, where the river has a
greater drop and volume than else
where, this being what the biologists
call the "faIl line" or the break be-
tween the Appalachian plateau and
the coastal plain. The Potomac River
and many of the streams that supply
it can be made to produce electricity
at many points other than in the
Great Falls section, and the upper
Potomac might be developed into one
Of the mighty power streams Of East
ern America for the happiness and
Industrial growth of the Potomac
Valley from the mountains to tide
water. Whether this should be done
by the United States or left to be
done finally by private interests is a
question on which men Of opposing
economic schools divide.
The people Of Washington will rest
their faith on the report of engineers
in the power matter and will abide
the decision of Congress as to whether
this is the proper time for entering on
the big work of Harvesting the Po-
tomac.

Of higher learning never can be en-
tirely taken out of politics. because
in some degree they necessarily in
ject themseives into politics. In many
States II Is regarded as political
fact that the head of q State institu-
tion of higher learning must, in addi-
tion to his other duties, be a pretty
smart politician who can confab with
the influential men of the State and
hobnob with members of the Legisla-
ture to get generous and increasing
appropriations. That's the weak
spot in these rapidly swollen. State
endowed institutions of some of the
Western States"
The University of Kansas, declares
the Tulsa Tribune, has been through
the fires of political turmoil. IT has
been kicked around like q political
pingpong ball. not by its professors
or by its presidents, but by the two
many two-by-twice minds that have
sat in the legislative chamber at To-
peka and by governors whose political
perspective was as pitiably meager as
/ that of the governor who has now
exercised more power than judg
ment."
The New York World criticizes the
system by which the Kansas Univer-
sity is controlled, State board of ad-
ministration, the three members OF
which are appointed by the governor
and can be removed by him. They
must be uncommonly wise and versa
tile men," says the World. I'm add
tion to supervising the higher educa-
tion of the State. they have charge OF
the state prison, paroles, the State
Agricultural College, the insane ass-
lum, the three normal schools the
s,~V, F~y-
boys and the house of correction for
wayward girls. After the governor.
they are the lords high everything
else. They are, along with other
high and diverse qualities, poll
ticians. Need we point a painful and
obvious moral? Education is a ten
der plant, and it .withers and dies in
the heavy atmosphere of political
cigar smoke"
"The United States Bureau of Edu-
cation" says the Lincoln State Jour
nal, recently made a survey Of the
Kansas situation, and denounced the
paid board system In unstinted terms.
1t was recommended that the law be
repealed and the educational insti-
tutions be placed In the hands of an
unpaid board of nine members. Sal
aried boards of control have been
found efacient in managing some
State institutions and activities in
education they have proven failure
as rule. The Kansas situation adds
evidence Of the weakness of the
system The Pittsburgh Sun quotes
William Allen White, famous Kansas
editor. as saying: THE discharge of
Chancellor Lindley is pure politics.
The episode Is one OF those God-sent
incidents which st one mans ex
pense are sent to arouse State"
The ultimate result. the Sun says,
Mr. White Believes, "is that the Uni
versity of Kansas will be lifted be-
yond the reach of politicians of
withered minds by the crusadiuE
wrath OF an outraged citizenry."

Q. Why does the State of New
| York recognize a divorce obtained
| say, in Reno. when the grounds for
| divorce in Nevada are so different
from the grounds in New York =
| z. T.
A. The Constitution OF the United
/ States imposes certain obligations
| upon the States in their dealings with
each other, Section l, Article ", pro
! viding that full faith and credit shall
| be given IN each State to the public
| acts, records and judicial proceedings
! OF every other State" This clause
has been held to mean that In civil
cases, when the courts OF one State
| have given a judgment such judgment
| will be recognized and enforced by
! the courts OF every other State with
out a new trial. 1t also means that
| contracts legally entered into in one
State are binding and enforceable in
| another. In the matter of divorce.
| by this clause a State is required 10
| recognize a divorce granted In any
| other State, even though It may have
| been granted for reasons for which
! the laws of the first State would not
| allow divorce. The only restriction
| which courts have upheld IN their
| Interpretation of this clause Of the
| Constitution Is that the State grant
| ing the divorce shall have jurisdic-
/ ton over the parties; that is, that
| the party should have a bona fde
residence within the State and that
! proper notice of suit should be given.
! Thus New York must recognize Ne
! vada divorces If il be shown that the
! plaintiff had legal residence in Ne
! vada and the defendant had been
| legally notified OF the suit.

Q. VIII frost occur when It is
cloudy7-D. T. T.
A. Frost occurs when there is
Gltar sky and little wind. Heavy.
low clouds act as a blanket, prevent
ing the earth from giving off its
heat. moderate wind is generally
an effective deterrent of frost. since
IL keeps thin layersof cold air from
forming near the ground, mixing the
warmer air of the upper regions
with IT.
