The Source OF Power.

Genesis 32:2S.--"And he said, Thy
name shall be called no more Jacob,
but Israel: for as n prince hast thou
power with God and with men, and
hast prevailed"
Phillips Brooks discovered a young
man in his study one morning care
fully examining the titles of the
books on his shelves. What are you
looking for?" he asked, to which the
young man responded, II am trying to
find the secret of your power" You
Will not find it on the shelves of my

He drew from more secret sources
the power that made him one of the
greatest prophets of his time.

lily to definition. Compelling influences

of. but to describe their processes is
well nigh impossible.
The incident from which the above

parting of the ways; behind him were
the abandoned influences of home life;
before him stretched a future full of
uncertainty and mystery. He was fac

ture he had a remarkable experience
that proved the turning point in his
career. In the long watches of the
night he had a vision in which he
experienced Il conflict with unseen
forces. In his great struggle he cried
out, II will not let thee go except

From this singular experience he
went forth a changed man with a

However we may regard the incident,

his situation compelled him to dis

probation of the Constitution that
bound the States into a nation.
Description of the American colo
nists as fanatical plotters against Brit
ish sovereignty, preferring force to
settlement of differences, is a gross
misreading of historical facts. The
colonists wished to secure certain
concessions from the British govern
ment. They wanted TO be repre-
scented in the lawmaking body which
imposed taxes upon them. They pro-
tested against oppressive measures
adopted by the government at Lon
don. In the Declaration of Inde-
pendence numerous violations of the
''inalienable rights" of the colonists
We're cited. Had the British crown
with all its preceding blunders of CO.
lonial administration, adopted con-
ciliatory course even after the franz
ing OF the Declaration, it is doubtful
whether the Revolution would have
ben successful. Brutally Oppressive
moves and the carrying of the war
by the British into the Southern terri
tory united all of the colonists in
a determined effort to secure that
for which they had declared in prin-
ciple--a complete separation of gov
ernment.
British historians have as a rule
dealt with the revolutionary chapter
in a spirit of consideration for the
good faith of the colonists as Brit
ish subjects up to the time when
oppressive measures became intol-
erable. The stubbornness of King
George III is blamed by them as the
compelling. melting cause of the Sc
cession. This present attempt TO
ascribe the Revolution to the fanati-
cism OF the Northern colonists, with
out justification and without prin-
ciple, Is a new and an unwelcome
contribution to history.

MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT 4. SMALL.

When Representative John Garner
of Texas, militant leader Of the
Democracy in the House of Repre-
Sentatives, nominated Mick Long
worth for President of the United
States at the Alfalfa Club dinner in
Washington this week he did it with
all the earnestness that was in him.
1t really was d striking token OF the
esteem in which the new Speaker-to-
be of the House is held by the per-
sonnel Of that body. regardless OF
political Affiliations.
Il believe in my SOUL" said Mr..
Garner. that Nick Longworth is Of
presidential timber"
Naturally, Mr.. Garner of Texas
would never be found out on the fir
ing line helping to elect Mr.. Long
worth Of Ohio TO the presidency, but
what he meant was that he would re-
spect the new Speaker as a presi-
Dental candidate, and would feel, in
the event of his election, that the
country was in safe hands.
The odd part of all this is that Mr..
Garner is not alone in his estimate Of
Nick" There has been increasing
talk of him in many different circles
or Washington life. Nick virtually has
been a resident OF Washington for
the last quarter of a century. He is
as thoroughly well known as any man
IN public life, and has had the faculty
OF making friends with the least ef-
fort on his own part. Unless all signs
fail there will be a better spirit in the
House or Representatives under his
rule in the Speakers chair than the
country has known for the past so
years. The older Democratic members
| OF the House are on as intimate terms
with the new Speaker as the leaders
| Of his own party. and will feel az free
to go to him on any legislative pro-
posal or program.
One thing Nicholas Longworth has
done is completely TO bury the "jinx'
of being the son-in.law Of greatness.
| 1t was commented at the Alfalfa din
ner that he had gone forward more
| rapidly since the death of Col. Roose-
welt than was possible before.

This work OF street widening must
be continued 80 long as parking is

Of lines OF cars either parallel or
angular to the curbs Is an element Of
danger in the narrow streets that
with few exceptions constitute the
highways OF the business section. The
requires additions to the moving
vehicle space. These changes are cost
ly, but they are essential unless the
streets Of Washington are to be abso-
lutely freed of parked cars. That
day seems remote. and meanwhile the
traffic is growing.

sion. However great the cost may be,

Blaming the Colonists.

John Fortescue, an English his
torian, in writing u series of papers
concerning the time of George III, is
presenting the case of the American
War for Independence to his readers
in terms that will not serve to
strengthen the grasp Of the hands
across the sea- of later years. First
off. he asserts that Americans were
"a very curious stock" with Virginia
and North Carolina chiefly settled by
rascals and New England by fanatics.
On this basis he proceeds to the fol-
lowing summary of the revolutionary
enterprise of the colonists:
Some kind of an agreement might
have been reached but for u revival
of the dormant revolutionary spirit
in New England. That was the real
trouble. For the revolution spirit is
that which desires anything rather
than an amicable settlement, and
which relies only on violence and in
timidation and believes only force
can suppress force. There was much
blundering on the English side, but
on the American there was deliberate
mischief and malice engineered by
men Of the usual revolutionary type,
and this made q peaceful end of the
dispute impossible. The British at
length. but too late, resorted to force.
They were threatened with secession
from the empire. Americans them
selves, where confronted with a like
secession, employed exactly the same
remedy. The issue was in principle
identical I'm both cases.
The attempt of Mr.. Fortescue to
draw a parallel between the Ameri-
can War of independence and the
Civil War of eighty-five years later
is illogical and unwarranted. The
former was fought on the principle
that taxation without representation
As tyranny" The latter was the re-

the atmosphere appears to be gaining
ground i'll the scientific world. The
Maryland State Board of Health has
recently instituted inquiries among
medical men as to the effect of Jones
Falls and the Basin in Baltimore on
the public health, and find, strange to-
say, many leading physicians who eX-
press the opinion that instead of en-
genderirG disease the falls and basin
are actual aids in the prevention OF
malarial maladies; and that the germs
of disease, coming in contact with the
sulphuretted hydrogen with which the
water of the basin is charged are
wholly neutralized. 1t would be strange
if what has been looked upon so long
by the Baltimoreans as a first-class
nuisance should prove TO be a bless
ing in disguise, after all"
1t was not until it was known that
the malarial germ was carried by the
mosquito that the true effect upon
public health of foul waters, in which
the insects breed, was ascertained.
Sulphuretted hydrogen may have an
effect upon the propagation of rnps-
quitoes, but it certainly did not in
itself lessen the maIevolence of the
disease germs.

An Era of Prosperity.

A picture of material prosperity
never before equaled in this country
or any other is drawn in a review OF
economic conditions in the United
States by Secretary Herbert Hoover
of the Department of Commerce. The
American people are living on a
higher scale and in greater comfort
than any other people. They are liv-
ing on a higher scale than Americans
have ever done before. An occasion
for thanksgiving, rather than for
boasting.
Many factors enter into the equa.
tion which places the American on
this high material plane. The United
States, because OF its great extent
and its diverse industries and agricul-
turc, Is we'll nigh self.sustaining. 1t is
so situated that it is largely free from
the competitive race i'll armaments.
which have weighed heavily ON other
peoples. Its laws have provided n
wall of protection for industry, agri-
culture and labor. Although it took
aided greatly in winning that con.
fliot. this country was devastated not
at all. During the war industries and
agriculture were working at a high
pitch. The swing of the pendulum in
the immediate postwar period brought
about a reaction, during which agri-
culture suffered greatly at first.
though business Of all kinds fell
off and unemployment grew. The
country apparently, however, has
weathered successfully the slack times
and is going ahead again.
The greatest volume Of construc-
tion operations on record" is the
characterization Of the building activi-
Hoover. He estimates that this work
of construction represents an invest
ment during the year Of $4,000 ,000,-
600, and adds that for the most part it
IS calculated 10 meet the permanent
and growing needs of the Nation. The
volume of retail trade is enormous,
greater than in any other year. The
prices of farm products are up, and
the return to the farmer is greater
than In any other year since t920-21.
The interrelation of agriculture, in
dustry, the retail trade. the building
trades, labor and capital in the pros
perity Of d people is automatic. As a
rule no chain is stronger than its
weakest link. The report on economic
conditions in this country made by
Secretary Hoover, therefore. is par
ticularly pleasing. It shows the en-
tire country and the people as a whole
we'll fed, well clothed, and with hous-
ing facilities improving almost mo"
nentariIy and their transportation
facilities operating excellently.
The world today is so closely con-
nected that prosperity in one part is
an aid to other parts. Americas pur-
chasing power is providing food for
mouths in other lands, notwithstand-
ing the protective tariff wall. Secre.
tary Hoover calls attention to the
fact that a period of greater stability
in tho monetary systems OF the world
has developed. America looks to other
countries to buy her surplus prod
ucts, and as the rest of the world i'm.
proves materially. this country should
benefit thereby.
