Bic Job to BEGIN

DUT if so hard to conceive the
- dream, how about the task OF
making it come trueP
The task of diverting a treacher-
Gus river at the bottom Of a thou
Sand foot gorge.
Of holding it back with Golfer
dams, both above and below, OF
carrying it around through tunnels
while the work proceeds, Of digging
down to bed rock and otherwise
getting ready, not to mention con-
structon of the dam itself, or the
power plant or any of a dozen other
Jobs, each of which would be con-
sidered huge, if not hazardous in
ordinary life:
To hit only a few Of the high
spots, here is how those in charge
plan to proceed.
First they bore four f1fty-foot
tunnels a mile or so long through
the cliffs, two on either side of the
river and at about it's mean level.
Next, they will build two Golfer
dams, one up stream and one down,
Just inside the opening of the
tunnels.
Next, they will pump out the
water between these dams, while the
river flows around, even in its
highest flood stage through the
tunnels. Next, they will uncover a
strip of bedrock 600 feet wide clear
across the river.
After this has been done, they
will start to pour the dam.

Lake in the Desert

THE dam will be about 400 feet
l. long at its base, measuring
crosswise of the river and about 800
feet long at the top. 1t will be
about 800 feet wide at its base,
measuring lengthwise of the river,
and eighteen at the top. Measuring
from bedrock to top, it will be nearly
700 feet high and will rise the water
$50 feet, flowing a lake that will
contain at least $4,000, 000-acre feet
or enough water to cover the state
of Rhode Island forty feet deep.
This dam and lake will be located
in the middle of the desert. The sec
tions it is designed to help most are
all more than 200 miles away.
This aspect OF the situation, more
than any other, suggests the bigness
of wis., cltt of which the project
was born.

the government of any European nation with the
ception of Russia. Outside Of that country, all the
issues that arose, even out of the World war; have
been adjusted"
Such statement in our judgment, carries optimism
beyond the point of safety. Perhaps it is natural
that any President in his farewell address should
exaggerate the achievements of his administration
Anyway, that is precisely what Coolidge has done.
There are achievements but most of them pertain
to partial solutions of foreign problems created by
the Coolidge administration. That is particularly
true of Mexico, where Ambassador Morrow has wiped
much of the danger to peace created by the dis
credited Coolidge-Shefeld-K Kellogg policy Credit is
due Coolidge for what has been on the whole
friendly and effective Chinese policy.
But he has left legacy of trouble elsewhere for
his successor Whether the Coolidge administration
is to blame for these hangoverS or whether they
inherent in the international situation is not SO
important that the public realize that these serious
foreign problems exist. Tt is no service to the coun-
try for Coolidge, in going out of Office to deny their
existence
Coolidge has taken us into Nicaragua His stated
purpose of conducting fair election and establish
ing peace has been achieved there but still the ma
res not withdrawn There is no sign of us getting
out. Why?
Does not Coolidge know that the Latin-American
friendship of which he boasts cannot be ours in fact
until we have lquidated our Nicaraguan adventure in
particular and changed our imperiaIistic Caribbean
policy in general?
Nor are our relations with Europe so favorable as
he seems to think. For two years and half he has
done nothing to break the deadlock over world court
membership, until the very eve of the Hoover adj
minstration
He has left our relations to the league of nations
in as chaotic condition as he found them. The war
debts have been "settled'-except with France-but
on such terms that they will have to be settled all
oyer again within few years But that is not ALL
American relations with Great Britain are in a
very bad way And that is the most serious foreign
problem this nation ever can have. Anglo-American
friendship is of supreme Importance in terms of
world peace.
Anyone doubling that there is growing economic
naval and POLITICAL conflict between these two coun-
tries has but to read the statements of Lloyd George
and Ramsay Macdonald, or the Coolidge Arrnistice
day address, or to contemplate the new naval arma-
ment race begun by Britain and joined by us in the
ffteen-cruiser program.
In view OF these disquieting facts how can Cool
ldge tell the people that foreign relations rarely
have been in more happy condition." Rather in
peace time rarely have they been in a more unhappy
condition.

Government by Gossip

The greatest weapon of the political machine
which has ruled this state is gossip
In the days when it began to get power, squads
of whispering women" spread their poison among
the voters gassed the people with fairy tales oV1oeo
the decent and permitted the venal to rise to power:
Whenever the machine gets into trouble, 1T nat
uray turns to the same old tactics OF spreading WIG
and weird stories among those they wish to divide
Perbaps It was because of this fact that it was
necessary last week for the Governor OF hs state 10
90 to the lobby of the hotel where politicians and
lawmakers gather. and sit for an hour with his arm
around the shoulders of Bert Fuller widely advertised
as his political manager and confldant.
rrhe reason of course is found in the fact that the
conn machine is desperate that the plans OF the
boss depend somewhat on discrediting the political
manager of Leslie with members OF the legislature
Who these days, vote with the Governor
That the story was loudly bruited that the Gov
ernor had quarreled with his manager was to be ex-
pected. Fuller made bold and open fight against
the rule of Cof1nism and there were those In the
legislature who began to doubt whether following the
Conn leaders would improve their standing with the
man who will be chief in the state for the next four
years.
OF course. the story was something of an indict-
ment of the Governor, who has been given reputa-
ton for standing by his friends" He must have
discovered that loyalty is rather perhaps too
rare to be easily tossed away.
Whether the advice of Fuller is good or bad, every
one is entitled to opinion That could be worse
than the advice which Coffin for four years poured
INTO the ears of his Governor only to have him retire
under cloud none so poor to DO him honor is not
only incredible but impossible
The people learned by sad experience what hap
nened to them when they permitted themselves to be
ruled by the gossip of the whispering women
The "band wagon boys" in the legislature 1t might
seem would exercise great caution and care, being
very sure that before they let loose of strap hanger
they know exactly that the other they grab for has
terminal facilities that viii support them.

Las Vegas BoomS

TINE best way to reach Black
l. canyon, where Boulder dam is to
be built, is through Las Vegas,
New. In fact it is about the only
way.
Even when you have arrived at
Las Vegas, you still have a thirty
one-mile ride through the desert
and a two-mile boat trip, but let
that pass.
The town is on a veritable boom,
with subdivisions springing up in
every direction.
There is poker for those who pre-
fer quicker gamble and corn
liquor, for those who would drown
an excess of optimism. The town
is neat. orderly and polite. but still
wide open
Games of chance are permitted in
Nevada. while some other things
are tolerated.
The license to run poker table
is $3.50 per table a month.
There Is one establishment in
Las Vegas which must be paying
the state a handsome amount.

Tempering the Wind

a ND history has sanctioned an
IA even wider and more sweeping
power for the jury. Lawmakers gen.
orally are tardy in catching up with
and rejecting community opinion,
Many measures in the code Of any
country are Anticipated and out Of
step with the viii and interest Of
the community.
In England, for instance, it was
not the parliament, but the juries
which did away with the widespread
use of the death penalty. In not
such very ancient days numberless
crimes pere punishable by death.
The revolt came in the jury room.
Rather than send petty thief to
the gallows, juries would boldly
bring in verdicts Of not guilty If
they felt that the penalty prescribed
for the crime was much too severe.
In New York state within the last
few weeks we have seen an example
Of the same process. Mrs. Willie
brandt undertook to try speakeasy
men upon the charge Of conspiracy
to violate the Volstead act. This
carried a much longer jail term
than the mere charge Of maintain
ing a nuisance.
The government lost its strongest
conspiracy cases and has now an
nounced that it will not at the pres
ent time press conspiracy charges in
this district, since it is impossible
to get juries to convict.

SEEMS
TO ME
BY HAYWOOD
BROUN

A MERICA is afflicted today by
IA too great a respect for law, At
least, we have turned practically ali
our attention to three kinds Of law
and neglected a fourth form which
should always remain important in
any democratic country.
Much has been heard Of Consti-
tuition, statutory and judge-made
law and very little of the rights and
privileges of the jury.
Indeed, certain federal judges N
this community have tried to Drow-
beat juries entirely out of their an
cient rights and functions. Again
and again some judge boldly has
told the twelve good men and rue
that it was none of their business
to decide whether or not the law
was just or unjust.
1t was not theirs to reason why,
but simply to find a verdict in ac-
cordance with the facts and leave
the quality OF the law itself to
judges and to legislators.
But if there were no more than
this to jury duty, the institution
would not be one of the great safe
guards of human liberty, The jury
system was intended originally, and
should continue, as check against
the stupid harshness of judge-made
statutes.
1t is the business of the twelve to
decide whether the statute is reas-
enable and lair in the manner in
which it works out in some specific
cases.

Memory Verse for Monday

Memory Verse for Monday
Children, obey your parents in
the Lord: for this is right" (Ephe-
SLAMS gid. Read: Luke 2:39 to SD
MEDITATION: 1t is Gods wise
and loving arrangement that the in
experience of childhood and youth
should be governed and guided by
the wisdom and the unselfish affec-
ton of parents. If it be true that
children are losing respect for their
parents and that parents are today
relaxing authority over their chill
dren, it is ominous.
To abandon parental discipline is
not kind, but cruel. 1t does not
even make for the present happi-
ness of the children. And for the
future it consigns to mistakes and
miseries incalculable. A spoiled
child is a spoiled life.
PRAYER: Our Father in heaven,
we pray for all children. Give
them we pray dutiful and willing
spirits. Make them ever thoughtful
