Women, of course, are great fac
tors in their lives, but wives-perish
the thought We must have a GER
tain number of such artistic and
literary souls to write US all those
lovely realistic books on marriage.
1t is perfectly customary now,
though a bit inconsistent perhaps,
that such flaming souls as Mr..
Eaton's, who scorn the thought of
experience, should give out news
paper interviews telling us just what
marriage is not. Having contributed
a book to his country, and having
put woman in her place in the uni
verse, there is no reason to doubt
that we may expect great things of
this young man.
We trust that Mr.. Eaton may es-
cape the matrimonial moose. For we
can think of no more devilish tor.
ture for any woman than "connu-
blum" with man of his inquisitor-
ial ideas. In case he is nabbed, how
ever, in spite of all he can do, may
we suggest to his future wife that
boiling in oil is bit expensive. but
frying him in Crisco might prove
efficacious.

fri HE fate of public power development
throughout the country as we'll as in San
Francisco hangs upon Secretary Works forth
coming Hetch Hetchy decision
Friends of public development thought
they had safeguarded the interests of the people
in San Francisco more effectively than in any
other project. A special act of Congress pro-
vided that the city might never sell or lease its
power to private corporation.
Yet San Francisco emissaries of the private
power interests believe they have found way
to evade this act and cheat the people of their
power by legal technicality.
Eighteen other cities, states and municipal
irrigation districts are now either developing
power or proposing to do so. These projects
have no special protection from Congress-
If Secretary Work decides the Hetch
Hetchy grab is legal and proper, what will hap
pen eventually to these other cities?

Gen Smedley D. Butler Of the United States
Marines one of the fghtin est soldiers America
has produced should be able to tell General
Andrews a lot General Butler has added to
his collection of wars d first-class liquor war in
Philadelphia.
Like General Andrews General Butler en-
tered upon his latest war merely matter
of duty. The goodness or badness of the Vol
stead act did not interest him He was di-
rected to enforce the law in Philadelphia; that
was enough.
Into the fray he put all his amazing en-
ergy, all his resourcefulness,> all his capacity
for leadership all his ability to inspire loyalty.
He terrorized the little politicians and per-
turbed the big ones-no mean feat in Philadel-
phia.-but reports do trickle out of the quiet
Quaker metropolis that she is still what you
might call wet.
Maybe General Andrews can do for the
whole United States, which includes Philadel-
phia, what the fghtin marine hash t yet done

for the Army if he should succeed where a
Marine has failed, but somehow it doesn t seem
any too likely to come to pass.
