made by the several concerns that sought to obtain
1T. These ranged from the ridiculous to the out
rageous Few Congressman were so dense as not to
see the absurd nature of most of the bids.
Another was the very intensity of the battle waged
against government operation. How vicious and
dangerous this attack has been just is coming to be
understood, result of the inquiry of the Federal
Trade Commission into the propaganda of the private
public utility organizations. The reaction against this
propaganda undoubtedly has had an effect contrary
to that its promoters intended.
Those two things and third-the unrelenting
purpose of one George W. Norris senior Senator from
Nebraska that the Government should not give away
this valuable peoples property. Of the three perhaps
this last named was most important of all.
1t was Norris who kept the one sensible solution
staring Congress in the face session after session.
1t his clear mind that found the weakness in
each private proposal that came before House and
Senate. 1t his alertness that prevented one de-
ception after another from succeeding. In the end
it was his reaSonableness that prevailed.
A strange episode in American political and eco
nonic history it has BEEN Throughout the coun-
try during the greater part of the time that Muscle
Shoals has been an issue, only the Scrpps- Howard
newspapers, among important publications, have in
sisted on some such action as that now taken by
Congress.
Like the Nebraska Senator these newspapers have
had no other interest than desire to prevent the
spolaton of public resources for private profit Com
mon sense would not permit the handing over to any
interest Of a project that had cost upward Of
$15oOoOOOO of the peoples money and we have urged
that common sense should be the deciding factor.
Now we are pleased on our own account, on SEN
ator Norris account and the peoples account The
people of the Southeastern States are given oppor-
tunity to obtain cheap and the people of other
States opportunity to their local power and
light costs by those to be demonstrated by the Gov

As Pakin Tnttars

With the fall of Pekin now seemingly only ques-
ton Of hours, the Chinese Nationalist will have won
their fight against the lords Of the Norh-Chang
Tso-Ln and his henchmen.
But their real battle only will have begun-the
battle to preserve their unity There is very real
danger that they may have to curb some Of their
own war lords before their aim of unified China
stands definitely accomplished.
While Gen. Chang Kai-Shek officially is the COM
manderin-chief of the Nationalist forces he has
equally powerful ally Marshal Feng Yu-Hsiang,
known the world the Christian General"
Feng commands his own personal army. With
Chiangs division it is convergng on Pekin. 1t forms
Chiang's left wing.
Behind the scenes people are asking what will the
christian general do in the hour of victory? Some
against the Nanchu gentleman the Nationalist
now are opposing the dictator Chang Tso-Lin.
Just as WI was the point of administering a
crushing blow against Chang at the great wall Of
China the Christian general back tracked to Pekin
occupied the capital and left WI to cope with Chang
alone. Chang got off Scot free, and WI went into
oblivion.
For the sake of China and the Chinese people, and
for the sake of the Nationalist cause, China's
promise of new and better days. we hope Marshal
Feng, this time will stay put. If and when Pekin
falls, we trust he will spare any such antics.
For the first time in years China stands chance
to have government which will be representative of
both North and South 1t would be pity-and do
the country and the Nationalist ncalcuable harm

The north magnetic pole is just inside the Arctic
circle little north of Hudson Bay and about 1000
from the North Pole itself.
AS a result, the compass needle points directly
north only on line which runs through Michigan
Ohio Eastern Kentucky, Tennessee and South Caro-
lima. That is because this line passes through both
the north magetic pole and the North Pole.
In all parts of the United States east of ills line
the compass points little west of north In all parts
west of this line, the needle points little east OF
north.
The extremes of variation in the United States are
found in the States of Maine and Washington. In
Maine, the needle points 20 degrees west of true
north. In Washington, it points 25 degrees east of
north.
further difficulty in the use of the compass is
due to the fact that the north magnetic pole is not
upon the surface of the earth, but apparently in

The result is that the compass needle never comes

versity; but civil war breaks out,
Hugeno and Catholics hunt one
another, and Bruno, suspected by
both, passes on.
In 1881, he is in Paris, lecturing
under his own auspices in a little
hall, and arousing attention at once
by the billiance Of his speech and
the novelty of his views. The uni
versity offers him a chair in phil
osophy, on condition that he will
attend mass regularly; he refuses
the condition and egchair.
King Henry III asks to see him,
and is so astounded at Bruno's
powers of memory that he suspects
him of magic and intercourse with
the devil. But he gives Bruno a
letter of introduction to the French
ambassador in London; and in 1888,
prodded on with wanderlust, Bruno
makes his way to England.
He talks to Queen Elizabeth, who
delights to show him her knowledge
of Italian; he basks in high society,
meeting Sir Philip Sydney and
(perhaps) Sir Francis Bacon. He
lectures at oxford, defeats another
jealous lover Of wisdom in a debate,
and is at the height of his curve.
What is it in his teaching that
arouses such interest, and such
hostility? First Of all, his complete
acceptance of the Copernican point
Of view; in this he stands at the
very beginning of modern thought,
at the source of a broadening stream
that will sweep everything before
it in the nineteenth century.
There are an infinite number of
worlds, he says, each world with
its central sun, its planets and
satellites; ours is but a fragment
Of the cosmos, not the center of
things; we must think now in i'm
measurably larger terms than be-
fore, and conceive God in a fashion
worthy Of a Copernican universe.

reverence for Christianity; he was

was drawn through the streets on

SAYS

NOVERNOR SMITHS candidacy
" has had a far different effect
on the prohibition issue than some
peoTle hoped and more expected.
Instead of letting the Democratic
party in for a bitter and, perhaps,
ruinous controversy, it has tended
to pour oil on the troubled waters.
Democrats are worrying much
less over the prohibition issue than
they were six months ago.
But the Democrats are not yet
out Of the swamp. Governor Smith
has remained wisely silent and dry
sections have shown their apprecia-
ton by giving him delegates. The
one thing that remains is to write
platform that will square with
the situation.
Considering his record and what
millions of people have been led
to believe, it would be asking a
good deal Of Governor Smith to
offer him straight out prohibition
plank. 1t would be asking quite
as much of the South to offer that
section a modification plank.
Small wonder that some Of the
party's best minds have found no
answer to the riddle, or that they
should heave signs of relief now
that the Women's Democratic Union
has shown them what it is.
Just declare that prohibition is
not party measure, advises this
organization, because it was not
passed as a party issue, but let all
candidates tell how they stand on
it.
Refreshingly honest, as the New
York World points out, but some
thing of a sidestep, nevertheless,
and leaving considerable room for
doubt as to what the party might
do, no matter how its candidates
express themselves.

u, S, for United China

Like the Monroe Doctrine, the
integrity of China" has come to
form a traditional part of our for
eign policy. More than that, both
are designed to serve the same pur-
pose.
The United States wants no fur
ther expansion Of the European CO.
lonial system, either in eastern Asia
or South America.
Having stood for a united China
through thick and thin, it goes
without saying that the United
States could not recognize more
than one Government in her terri
tory at q time.
There may be some question as
to whether the United States should
have recognized the Nationalist.
or the Pekin crowd to begin with,
but there can be no question as
to the inconsistency Of recognizing
both.
1t was fear Of Red propaganda
and a determination to squelch Red
sympathizers that led our State De-
partment to turn its back on the
Cantonese and swap favors with
that dear old bandit, Marshal
Chang Tso-Lin. No one in our
State Department seems to have
been impressed by the perfectly
obvious idea of edging Russia out
by proving that this country could
be a better friend.
That, perhaps, required too much
Imagination. At any rate, we ran
away from the issue, instead of
meeting it, and talked of Boil
shevist intrigues in South China,
just as we did little later Of those
in Central America.
But fate is repairing our blunder.
The Nationalist have not only freed
themselves from the red trademark,
but have gained strength while de-
ing so, and are now moving against
Pekin with some 100000 men.
In spite of alleged Russian in-
fluence, radical plots and freak
moves, our State Department is
gradually realizing that the Ma
tionalist movement represents the
one sane hope of a United China.
and that the most Immediate
problem is to dissuade some of its
impulsive leaders from antagonizing
Japan by inexcusable and prohtless
acts Of violence.
