If any one Of these or several
others that have been suggested
were to be finally named, the at
fairs of Indiana probably would
be safe and the business of the
State would be we'll managed.

who could come more nearly

than any of these.

Here is a recent keynote from
Fred Lands:
"Lindbergh, God bless him, has
more character than 1000 lead
ing men of the United States.
Only an airway mail carrier, he
refused a flat offer of a million
dollars to go on the stage for
the welfare of the country.
"How big he looks among these
opera singers and congressman
who have been signing Lucky
Strike cigarette advertisements"
Wonder if our Dear Fred had
reference to "Our Jim" Watson,
who recently commented on the
soothing and comforting super
iority of Lucky Strikes?
Muncie Press
If the news dispatches from
Washington which said that
Frank c. Ball definitely has re-
fused to be a candidate for the
Republican nomination for Gov
ernor of Indiana are true, that
places the party in an uncertain
situation in this State.
In the absence of confirmation
at home by Mr.. Ball himself, we
may hope he will reconsider, but
assuming the statement to be
correct it leaves the Republicans
without a single candidate for
this important position who has
the standing and influence that
the Muncie man possesses.
That does not mean that the
party is without candidates and
possible candidates that would
make good governors, but merely
that they do not "class" with
Mr.. Ball, nor can any one of
them mentioned to date qualify
as being so nearly without politi-
cal enemies as the Muncie man.
And lack of political enemies
is likely to prove about the most
important asset of the next can
didate for governor.
Undoubtedly Fred Schortmeier,
present Secretary of State, would
be competent as Governor and
he has had wide experience in
State affairs, even in those of
the Governors office.
Charles Jewett, former mayor
of indianapolis, is regarded as an
able and conscientious man. Bert
Thurman who took himself out
of the race, is wholly competent.

of Kokomo, and Frank C. DAILY,
both able men.
Rivalry between the friends of
the two likely will produce
struggle as bitter as any among
the Republican candidates, how
ever, which may serve to counter
balance the strife that is certain
among the Republicans unless the
latter agree upon one outside of
those whose names now are most
prominently mentioned.

Pershing Is Out of It

There have been runors, from time to time, that
General Pershng or less receptive can
didate for the presidency.
We don't believe it, and we'll tell you why.
The other day the good general visited friends
in a city that had not seen him for some time. News
papers sent reporters and cemeramen to greet him
And Pershng refused to be interviewed and could be
coaXed to pose for pictures only after long discussion

not; not in America Unless this man is different
from all Others ne is not planning on being elected
to anything.

Power of REGULATION

After forty years Of experiments
ing with the railroad the Govern
ment has developed a system of
regulation which promises practical
results.
1t is probable that similar
system could be worked out for pow
er companies with equal effort, OK
pense and laundering
So far as the railroads went, the
Government had no choice except
to fall back on the board and COM
mission idea.
Power represents different
problem because the people still
have in their possession sufficient
sources to regulate it through con-
tracts. agreements and perhaps, &C

episodes in factional politics, very
familiar noise emanates from the

as those rough. carefree boys bang

Upon our ears echoes and re-
echoes the old anvil chorus. we

so common in a neighborhood of
such noisy, mischievous kids.

as we try to remain peaceful, and
wad some cotton into our ears, for
whatever relief we can get.
Presently, however, a crash Of
broken glass, from boulder care

fare of some kind has begun. We
quickly proceed to the door, where
a chorus Of befuddled kiddish voices
yell tauntingly the old familiar
strains, whats wrong with Indi-

Two Levers for j, S,

What is done with Muscle Shoals
and Boulder Dam will have more
effect in determining a power pol
icy for the Federal Government
than any investigation Congress
might make, or any regulatory
measure it might pass at this time.
Here are two vast projects, both
of which the Government owns, and
one Of which it partially has de-
veloped.
They represent nothing less than
levers by which the Government
cannot only produce power, but by
which it can find and fix the cost
Of power production.
Their development and operation
as Government enterprises, with
the power sold OH a wholesale basis
at the plant, and with proper con-
tracts and leases to safeguard it's
distribution, probably would do more
to prevent monopoly, stock water

Boulder Dam Problem

There are even better reasons why
the Government should develop and
control the Boulder Dam project.
Boulder Dam not only represents
a source of hydro electric power.
but CT flood control and reclama-
ton.
Further than that, it is bound I'D
with the international problem, be-
cause the Colorado River flows
through Mexico as we'll as tina
United States. and the problem OF
safeguarding this country's interests
is obviously one for the Federal
Government to handle.
With seven States claiming rights
to the water and water power of
the Colorado River, with Mexican
and American interests to adjust.
with the Government already in
control and with the assurance that
Boulder Dam could be financed
without asking one dollar from the
treasury, it would seem the height
of folly to turn it over to private
interests.
