Washington, Oct. 22.-From the
standpoint Of progrcssives and of
consumers who hope for lower public
utility rates through political aid,
the results of ballot contests to date
have not been altogether encourage
ing.
The first Of these this year was in
Maine, where Senator Fred Hale,
with the backing Of the power inter-
ests, defeated Governor Brewster in
the Republican senatorial primary.
Export of power form Maine was the
principal issue and the Sam insult
interests were strong factor in the
campaign.
The election subsequently ratified
the power trust" victory.
In the Ohio primaries, Attorney
General Turner, Republican cam
didate for governor, came out for
further regulation Of utilities. He
was defeated.
In Wisconsin, where the "power
trust" fight was perhaps more pre-
dominant than anywhere else, the
progressives renominated Senator
La Toilette but failed to nominate
Congressman Beck, their candidate
for governor. The issue now fig
ures in the lection and it is as
sumed that La Follctte and Walter
Kohler, the conservative candidate
for governor, will be elected.
Critics Of the utilities, however,
point to some Of their own VIC
tories, past and prospective. Sem
ator Mcclellan and Congressman
Garrett took issue on the power
question in Tennessee, where Muscle
Shoals is the big problem, and Car
ret was licked despite supposed
support from the power companies

transferred to the Republican can

same issue in the election campaign.
The same goes for Senator Frazier

patton from the Democrats and is
now putting the power question for

While men and women will never
appear alike physically, the mental
changes which are taking place will
lead to better understanding be-
tween them and the age old sex
antagonisms will gradually disap-
pear. We can no doubt look for a
better civilization when women are
stronger physically and more men,
tally aggressive, and the masculine
force and ruggedness Of men is
tempered by the more delicate quail
tiles.

"A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE"

The immortal coupet of Pope "A little knowledge is
dangerous thing should be amended to include "un-
less it creates desire for knowledge" Pope may
lave meant multitude of things by the proverb but
if he here employed knowledge" as a synonym for
truth he grevously in error and by his inspired
pen has done mankind much harm.
Since the the civilized peoples have learned to
their alarm that although there is nothing dangerous
in the possession of knowledge in small or large
amounts, much that is dangerous can come from mis-
use OF knowledge The classical schools of philosophy
invariably came to the conclusion that there was no
truth and made their deductions from there keeping
ever in mind that all was opinion and theory.
Modern schools Of philosophy have taken the opposite
attitude from the classics They work from the prom.
use that the other side is wrong and from that point
make deductions which they proclaim to the world as
proven facts truths. The ancient philosopher was
with knowledge. The modern philosopher is claiming
for himself supreme intelligence.
Many writer's are seizing on scraps of biologcal
science bits of discovery in the physical labor
aory on odds and ends Of philosophical theory with
which to build worldcomprehensve thesis, which may
pc twisted BY the ignorant and unthnking into argu-
ment and justification for all sorts Of weird and de-
structive movements. In the field Of NEW thought"
such dangerous trifing with little knowledge is gen.
orally conspicuous Unknown individuals blossom out
rs authorities life and soul problems. Almost any
volume offered carries positive exposition as to perfect
happiness, and contentment and health and soul
salvation Different and often antagonistc, theories
and arguments are relied to make out the cases
ehampioned by different authors. Thus readers who
fal to take their literature such subjects with the
palt Of may be led into perous conclusion and
become involved in twisted scheme of life
little knowledge is truly dangerous thing when it
deals out dangerous theories and conclusions for read
who not capable of weighing truth and reason

equality Hip Boys Lose Valued
Friend in ''Tippy," Faithful
Dog of Donald Stemple

They found him at noontime, in the
backyard of his masters home on AL
der street, stone dead-dead as door
nail, or cold in death, whatever you
will-but anyhow, not alive. But they
called no ndertaker-they would pre-
pare him for burial when they re-
turned from school, for at that hour
the shades of evening would be drawn
and that is the proper time to inter
the remains of a faithful companion.
And they would try to find out who
had committed the heartless murder
and left him to die within reach ct
his masters home.
Their one dear friend had been
taken from them, but they would see
that he received all honors and a
proper burial service. So they wrapped
him in robe Ga burlap sack, to be
accurately, placed him in a rough box
obtained at store, took one last, lin
gering look at their dear friends and
the hearse, a f1at-bed wagon, ap-
preached, placed the box and its con-
tents upon it and then walking be-
side it in the capacity of four official
pallbearers as the "hearse", drawn in
all solemnity by boys who volunteers
their services, wendell its way to the
edge of the cemetery where there was
