They pleaded that citizens had right to rid
themselves of institutions they did not like and
gained no small share of their support by declaring
that the people must rule and that they should have
the right to govern themselves locally through local
option laws under which any community could de-
eide for itself the question of the open saloon.
They were on the firm ground of real American
ism, real democracy real government by the people
and of the people.
They became influential largely because they de-

Such law has nothing at all to do with the

ONE NECESSARY CHANGE

Whatever may happen to the many suggestions
Tor changing the membership, powers and duties of
the public service commission, there should be a
united demand for the hill which excludes publicly
owned utilities from the control of that body.
Lobbyists for the utilities will probably fight
that measure much insistently than they will
any of the other suggestions.
They might be willing to take chances getting
friendly commission if the present abolished
and probably would not strongly object to elected
commission, but they do not like the idea of letting
cities their water and gas and electric
plants without the mandates Of the State body
They understand that comparisons of rates and
service between publicly owned utilities and those
owned by private capital might prove Illuminating
to the public If rates invariably lower in pub
lie plants people Of other cities might get the idea
that they would like the advantages
There is nothing in the theory of utility control
that demands that publicly owned plants be regu-
lated by the State. Regulation demanded and
obtained when the utilities became too avaricous
and greedy and found it easy to get control of city
councils and mayors.
The public service commission was established
to act curb utility greed and on nudicous
politics.
1t was created to see that the people received
service at fair rate and that the utilities were
subjected to political attack by those who tried con-
iscatory methods
But when city town owns it's own plant, it
not tempted to do either of these things. If it
,iles up SURPRISES by high rates. the people can get
ction if the State control is removed by the simple
cXpedient of electing officials pledged to such
curse. If the public officials put the rates too low
I'd permit the plants to suffer, they can be put on

WASHINGTON, Jan. EFF the

to obtain control of all China, it is
not sure to mean that China will
long have a strong, centrally con

The aim of the Cantonese is ia

laudable effort.
In the first place, the Chinese are
not a homogeneous people. They

Dawn Breaks

There is more in the China stu
alton than its important effect on
foreigners or foreign interests.
An empire has crashed. the shack
les of forty centuries of despotism
have been broken. a mighty people
is aspiring to avail itself of modern
civilization.
OF course, there will be chaos,
bloCdshed and injustice for the time,
but those are blind who cannot see
the breaking of a new dawn.
The Princess Tarhata represents
but one effect of education on a saw
age, or semi-barbaric mind. There
are thousands of poets and states
men to represent a different and bet
ter effect.
When Porforio Diaz established a
public scAool system for Mexico he
said that he had done something
which would destroy him.
He was probably right in one sense
of the word. but public schools will
ultimately do Mexico more good
than he, or those like him, ever
could.

Count All Tricks Double
When Doubled Con-
tract Is Made.
BY Milton &. Work
The pointer for today is:


A player who makes more than his
contract on a doubled declaration
counts all his tricks at double value.
Some players have the erroneous
impression that when a contract is
doubled and more than the amount
of the contract made, the Declarer
counts the double value of only the
amount of the contract, and the
single value of the tricks in excess
thereof. The fact is that whenever
contract is made, Declarer counts
all his odd tricks, at double value
if he has been doubled, at quadruple
value if he or his partner has re-
doubled. Five-odd made on a con-
tract of one, count exactly the same
in the trick column as five-odd made
doubling or redoubling changes this
except as to the value of each trick.
There would, however, be a great
difference in the bonus-count in the
two cases. Making FIVE on a doubled
contract of five would carry a bonus
Of fifty above the line for making a
doubled contract; but making five on
contract of one doubled, would
count the bonus of fifty for making
the contract and an additional fif1ak
for each of the four tricks won N4S
excess thereof, or total bonus Of
250 points.
Another point to be clearly under
stood is that the adversaries Of a
declarer never can score for tricks Ii.
e., below the line) L emphasize this
point, because many players have the
idea that when the Declarer has re-
voked, and penalty tricks have been
awarded to the adversaries, the
latter score their penalty tricks be.
low the line.
Neither are the adversalies limited
as to their undertricks by reason of
the size of a contract; for every trick
the Declarer falls short Of the mum.
Der he bid, the adversaries count
fifty against an undoubled contract.
one hundred against one that is
doubled, and two hundred against
one that is redoubled. A Declarer
who bid two (Which of course means
two odd tricks-two more than
book of six) and who took only one
solitary trick, would be down seven
and the adversaries would score $50,
700 or 1,4OO, depending upon
whether the bid had been undoubled,
doubled or redoubled. They would
also score 80 for Small Slam which
can be made by adversaries as well
as by Declarer.

About the biggest cloud on the
Democratic horizon is the prospect
Of another cat and dog fight between
Smith and McAdoC.
The Coolidge myth is passing, the
dumbness Of the Administration is
becoming apparent, and the rotten

has shocked the country. But,
asks your average man, what can

From a political standpoint the

hope of party success. From a
patriotic standpoint, it is spelling
the chance for better administra-
