FavOrs Public Development.
The cost of electrical energy gener-
ated from water power is largely de-
termined by the cost of the money USED
for the development. Private develop
ment involves a larger rate OF interest
on the underlying securities than does
| public DEVELOPMENT And it is fair tC
assume that private companies will fol-
| low their practice of the past and give
to the bondholders of prospective de-
| velopmentS stock bonus. That means
an obligation on the ultimate consumer
| to pay rate for electrical energy thai
| will meet the cost not only OF operation
and maintenance of plant, with depre-
citation, but also the higher cost of the
borrowed money.
| For the State of New York, and II
would apply throughout the country,
! suggested the creation of quasi-pub-
lie corporation. municipal in character
and clothed with the authority to issue

Following the suggestions of farm
relief that I made at Omaha on Tues
DAY night, / urge that the citizens Of
| our country should study the platform:
! of both parties as well as the speeche:

order that they may be able to make
their decision on the 9th of November
I shall take up first the Republican
platform in so far as 1t states anything
relative TO the Water-power develop
ment.
The platform reads:
The Republican party has beer
forehanded in assuring the development
of water power in accordance with pub.

see no evidence of that. What
does that mean? What plan has tht
Republican party for assuring that de-
velopment in accordance with public
interest? What is their idea Of public
| interest?
All that the platform does beyonc

BABES HOMERS
 BLOW TAPS FOR
 MOUND VICTIMS

NEW YORK, FeD. 1f-Out of the scores of American League sharpshooters who have tried-- and failed-to put 'em past Babe Ruth only three enjoy whatever distinction is gained from having contributed to the Bambinos re- cord-breaking home run campaigns of 1921 and 1927
 The deliveries of exactly forty twirlers were walloped for the circuit clouts that contributed to Ruth's 1921 total of 59 but only Howard Ehmke. Tom Zachary anG Bryan Harriss survived 10 have their fast ones nicked again while the Babe was piling up his crcp of 50 last season.
 It is a curious fact that each of this trio yielded four homers to the Babe in the two record-bust ing years. All three also changed uniforms in the six-year interval but Zachary, after brief turn with St. Louis. was back with his old club. Washington, in time to have the distinction of being hit for the historic 60th Rutl6an. raI of 1927
 Zachary's southpaw delivery was touched for one of the big wal lops in 1921 and three last year. as were the slants of Slim Har- riss, first with the Athletics and now with Boston. Ehmke. wiih Detroit in 1921 and the Athletics last year, yielded two homers to the Babe in each of these seasons.
 If Ruth sets out on another re cord-breaking jaunt this year it will be interesting to see how the Three Musketeers of the Graod Army of Ruthian Victims fare.
 Of the original two score who withstood the famous 1921 bonn bardment 2S have passed from the big show while three-Coveleskie, Pennock and Shocker-are out of range by the simple process of being on the Yankee payroll. An other, McWeeny, is in the Ma tional League.

 CURE FOR TIMIDITY

PARIS. Feb. 14--Shy young things should play tennis ard dance, says Monsieur Van Gennep, expert on timidity. whose pupils, he says, include orators and gen erals.
 All sport is good, he thinks, but tennis requires quick reactions and a constant study of the ad- versary's movement and thoughts. The timid person, he believes, in- creases the intensity of his af- fliction by thinking things over in stead of acting instantly and a tennis ball volleyed at him com pels him to reply.
 Dancing he advocates because it's social contacts develop confi- dence.

MODERN BOXING CROWDS OUT

PARIS, France. Feb. 14-"La Sayate' or French Boxing" q dying sport, is being given an of ficial funeral in France. Charles Charlemont, is one prominent aA- ponent, has been given the Legion of Honor for the sporting glory he brought to his country in the good old days before modern box ing replaced it.
 Charlemont's father founded French boxing. combining tne English ring practice with aae real "savate," in which the fee; were used almost exclusively.
 Today La Savate" is a modern ization of the old game, fists and arms being used and mo holds barred" American boxers rega1d. ed the method as ridiculous tt if t, but if is far from tame. A vicious swing of a leg against an opponents neck frequently puts out a man ana good jolt of the heel can crush in ribs.
 A century and half ago the sport was practiced by royalty and athletic commoners but 1t passed out of fashion. The Charle- monts, father and son, kept It alive and the present leader gain ed great fame a score of years ago when he beat the British champion, Jem Driscoll, Who found his fists less effective than Charlemont's feet.

WHERE WE STAND

In choosing to support Councmen Clements and
klce. and Fred j. Ganoa, candidates for city coun-
c the Press stated that has only highest regard for
the other candidates and only wished it were possible
to support all of them. AS only three candidates can
be elected, it is impossible to support ALL
To the question that has been asked by some,
What have you against the other canddates?", the
Press is glad to answer Nothing" 1t is our pleasure
to know Frank Bowles, Colonel Charles L. Phillips,
Charlie Ike and Dad" Couch personally. We consid-
er them friends, and proud to believe that they
consider US III the category. The Press manage
ment and editor hold them in the highest regard We
have been associated with all of them in civic and fra
ternal activities, and know them to be conscientious,
upright, intelligent good citizens and the type of
Americans that every city needs.
AT the same time believe that the men whom
the Press has chosen to support peculiarly fitted
by reason of their experience to conduct the affairs of
Ell Centre during the next four years in that
will best the interests of the city, that is the
payers. siF
1t so happens that we have chanced to meet only
one of the other candidates since the campaign opened
His handshake the less cordial his words
any less pleasant, his presence in the Press office
any less desirable than before the campaign opened
We feel certain that this condition holds true
garding the other candidates. We want it to be so.
The decision rests with the voters next Monday.
If the candidates whom the Press is supporting
elected, will say Fine" If the citizens choose
otherwise will say Fine, are back of you to the
last dtchto work for Ell Centros progress and pros

taken up to July 81 At that time between 1880 and
600 persons registered. The total to March 81 this
year is 9028, approximately registration of 80 per
cent.
While there is still room for Improvement, it
speaks well for the citizens of Imperial county that
such large percentage have registered in the short
space of three months There many things to take
the busy citizens mind off registration and human

in registering appears to be at minimum figure in the

state their party preference. Not all understand that
this prevents them from participating in the presden

LET HIN ALONE

The spectacle of Lndbergh lodging about from
one city to another is the result of dsgraceu lack
of good the part of thousands of Ameri-
who have driven the idol Of the world to the point
Of evaporation by their disgusting tactics
1t is not the crowds Of his fellowmen who wish
to give expression to the place which he holds in their
hearts that has driven Indbergh to a continual game
of hide and seek but small minority Of nncompoops
who refuse to consider at any time that Lindbergh is
human being, gentleman and entitled to at least
some degree Of privacy.
There are many with no claim to the distinction
that is Lindberghs who loathe being clawed maui
ed by strangers in fact indscrminae personal con-
tact is not desirable to the average person To have to
submit that Of thing day after day would drive
any saint to the point Of distraction and Lndbergh IS
saint.
The idiots who cndanger his and their lives By
rushing out the field where he Is to land are minus
the slightest degree Of selfresrant that diercntates
man from the unreasoning animals.
The souvenir hunter may not be distinctly Amerl-
can in origin but is safe say that downright Grim
nal acts i'm the form OfsOuVeniring have been deVe
oped TO a high degree by Americans. Any average
American crowd would strip Lindberghs plane to piec
es and unquestionably would leave his person in the
same condition, he and his machine not closely
guarded.
Not only "the public" but newspapers and their
representatives are guilty Of forcing Lindbergh to
adopt his present tactics. The constant demands that
he pose for photographs and answer question after
question is wearing good nature and good breed
ing as the maudlin activities of the crowd.
