THINKS SWING BILL WILL PASS

Under the heading, "Bridling Great River tt
lew York American recently an editorial as TO
ows:
Colorado River legislation for the Southwest,
which will protect from annhilaton millions in
wealth already created and save hundreds of times
as many millions going annually to waste,
seems assured at this session of the Congress.
For years the people of that section have been
begging Congress to provide protection tor I'M
perial and other valleys against the constantly
increasing flood menace. Some sixty thousand
good Americans living below sea level are IN
danger each year of having their lands permanent
ly inundated.
The Administration, approaching their plight,
has worked out plan which means: tD The
building of the highest dam in the world at
Boulder Canyon (2) The construction of mil
lion horsepower hydroeectrc plant; (3) The
building of an All-American canal to remove an
international problem, provide water for domestic
use for communities that will soon need it and IN
addition reclaim hundreds thousands of acres
of the public domain for war veterans.
All of this will be done without adding one
penny to the taxes of any other section of the Unit
ed States, for the money which Uncle Sam will adj
vance will be repaid out of earnings already as
sured.
Heartily endorsing this plan the authors
of the Swing-J ohnson bill, who had presented an
entirely different bill with the same end in view
They graciousy stepped aside and have put their
shoulders to the Administration machinery.
The people of the great Southwest al
ready showing their gratitude to President Cool
idge and the Cabinet members who urging
these improvements Secretary Hoover is being
daily thanked by wire, by letter and by personal
assurance
These same people will have an opportunity
to show gratitude at the coming elections, when
the Senate will be in the balance They have con-
fidence that the Administration will have caused
the law to be enacted before that time in which
event appreciation may be expected at the ballot
box.

For more than a week the peace
and quiet Of this community has been
rent and torn and disfgured until the
tranquil mind of the observer fails to
recognize the village of his happy
boyhood. In the corner grocery,
along the highway, in the field and
in the shop, we hear loud lamenta-
tons over the question of the con-
struction of new county road across
Negro Mountain, near Rock Lodge,
where it is said all sorts of dangers
will lurk when the road is completed.
The people are divided on the ques-
ton, and what the outcome will be is
yet to be learned.

Henry, was a pleasant business caller
in this village one day last week.

painters, sculptors and musicians, ex-
cept that great souls have been born
to earth-life many times and exper-
fenced more of life in its rounded
completeness.
Great souls are those who have ar
rived; who have achieved great re-
wards and distinction by virtue of
their own efforts. They have seen
life in all its aspects. They have
sinned and served and suffered and
learned better. They have lived as
mental and as master; have felt the
pinch of poverty and the pride of
plenty. Gods purpose in man can
not be achieved in the short span of
three score years and ten.
A. spends his life time saving logs.
B. spends his in laying brick; c..
spends his in farming; D. is an cleo
trician; others are lawyers, doctors,
ministers, merchants, bankers, sena-
tors.
The law of life is one of growth,
an unfolding, progressive process of
improvement. How can it be fulfilled
without rebirth, the giving of new
bodies to old souls? Each re-birth
is an elevation of the soul to higher
levels, to new experiences and with
a better vehicle through which to ex-
press its desires and attributes. Re-
birth is no more of mystery than
first birth of life in any aspect. Re-
birth is not only logical but it en-
bodies justice and impartialiay to all
men and becomes necessity of ma
ture-a factor in the higher evolu-
ton of the soul. Everywhere nature
shows continuity, of design and pur-

pose. Nowhere does she recant, re-
pont, make mistakes or change her
plans. To spend millions of years to
clothe the soul of man with materi-
atty, to make him plough the soil or
paint houses for forty or fifty years,
just for his board and clothes, and
then to extinguish him or even to
send him to paradise-crude and un-
learned-is a refutation of divine
wisdom which we ascribe to our
Maker.
God works through centers of
force. And great souls are all as
beacon lights, who illumine the path
way of life to the benighted, I'M
taught, inexperienced and younger
souls. Great souls are Gods great
est factors for the higher evolution
of man. Out of his animality they
will eventually elevate him in moral
ity to intellectually and spirituality.
Gods only interest in man seems
to be the converting of human souls
into souls divine in their attributes.
All else are but means to this one su-
preme end.
The so-called death of the body, its
sins, crime and sufferings, its fam
ines, plaques and pestilence, its in
human wars, our greed, selfshness
and intolerance all seem to be viewed
as experiences through which man
must go in order to learn wisdom and
make character.
God runs the subconscious, the in
voluntary machinery of our lives,
apart from that, our freedom of the
will absolves God from responsibility
for all our inhumanities to man, our
