The Shoals Bill

Passage of a Muscle Shoals bill by Con- ! gress evidently depends on bit of catering to the electric power interests. For years, . through the aid of powerful lobby at ]. Washington, they have turned aside the l. efforts of Senator George w. Norris and .. other proponents of government operation of . public utilities in their efforts to put Muscle 1. Shoals on paying basis. As it now stands . Uncle Sam has invested millions in the pro- { feet and not realized one cent of profit.
 That hardly seems fair to all taxpayers of the : United States With way open to reaz-
 ing fair return on its investment congress sional lobbyists for the power trust are again waving their arms wildly and utter ing maudlin sayings. They even succeed cd in having the House pass measure
 which was scarcely recognizable as dealing with the development of the Tennessee ; river valley.
 The Senate remained true to Senator ! Norris as it has constantly Tn the past. It : enacted for the seventh time since the gov ernment built the wartime power and nitrate
 
 ton by Uncle Sam. Inasmuoh as President Roosevelt wants the entire river valley cared for under one sweeping plan of flood con- trol. soil erosion prevention, navigation improvement, etc, there were numerous amendments to the original Norris plan. The bill now goes back to the House for . conference and passage. It is safe to as- sumo that it will be severely mangled be- fore the House gets through with it. Unfortunately for the nation we may never know what government operation ot "a power plant is like. But if merely to prove the theory - government Tn business in competition with private concerns - IS all right we should like to see the power plant at the Shoals under federal control. We are not advocating at this time com plete subservIence of all private enterprise to the government nor do we ever hope to see private initiative curbed in this fashion. Bat we are curious to see just what interest ing figures may be brought to light by this production of power and its sale through government channels.
 A lot of money has been tossed into the Tennessee river at Muscle Shoals. It's high time that we started to get some of it back in the form of dividends, etc. We advise those opponents of the Norris scheme to consider well what they arc do- ing. True they paste an imaginary ideal on their shield but their attacks are not so much on the proposed government opera ton as on persons. The Tennessee river project is one of the mightiest that this country has ever attempted. Let him who blocks it take the consequences of answering to the nation at large.

SerYitOrs to Mankind

Gathering Of North Dakotas drug
gists In Bismarck calls to attention
the splendid services which these
gentlemen render to the citizens Of
our state.
The manner In which the drug bus
iness has expanded to include the sale
OF many things foreign to the old
fashioned drugstore has been the
cause OF considerable good-natured
witticism, but the druggists them
selves have never forgotten their real
mission.
This is to serve the public in man
ner which no other profession can
do; to sell reliable remedies for COM
mon Ills and to assist the physician
In treating the sick. That a druggist
makes good ice cream sodas may be
as important to him financially as
that he use only the best materials

comeback. There IS actually . Par
cheesi Association Of America, with q
paying membership, which exists for
the sole purpose Of settling squabbles
about the rules. About 20 people a
day write in to Mrs. Melvin Fuller, the
president. Most Of the questions, she
says, deal with perhaps dozen moot
points, but sometimes an entirely new
problem comes up, and Is submitted to
the committee on rules.
This, you understand, is not the
parcheesi which was introduced in
this country in 1854; nor is it the
"parchis" that the Hindus played
centuries ago. This is "club par
cheesi," for adults, and has a scor-
ing system and q set of bonuses, PEN
alties and doubles which make it ex-
citing for gambling. There also is
condition Of vulnerability, just as
in bridge. For instance, when you

FAMOUS ADDICTS
You'd be surprised, Mrs. Fuller says,
at the list of prominent folk who are
parcheesi addicts. BY the way, this
was the only game that Thomas Edi-
son enjoyed, and it was favored by
Calvin Coolidge. Ring Lardner is a
fan, and Neysa McMein, the artist.
Herbert Bayard Swope likes the great
open spaces of parcheesi board. So
do the Wanamakers, Helen Whitney

A Needed Reform

1t is worth noticing that the new
securities bill just put through at
Washington will make it unnecessary
in the future for Senate committee
to hold an expensive investigation
to find out what men were on the
favored lists" of firms like the House
of Morgan.
The new bill provides that any cor
poration which sells stock at varying
prices must first notify the Federal
Trade Commission, and the names of
the friends" who are permitted to
buy below the market will be avail
able to the newspapers.
It seems likely that this will cut
down on such extensions of privilege
to favored few. Deals Of that kind do
not thrive in the light of publicity.
The new securities bill provides that
light, and makes certain that it will
be directed where 1t is most needed.

Smaller Gifts to Colleges

The day of great gifts to colleges
and universities is just about over,
If recent appeal from President
Nicholas Murray Butler Of Columbia
university to Columbia alumni is
taken as a criterion.
In this appeal President Butler
urged support of the university
through small gifts. In the past
Columbia has been very fortunate in
getting many large donations. But
now, says President Butler:
"The great fortunes and the large
accumulations which made these
benefactions possible are either dis
sipated or destroyed. The economic
and financial crisis which grips the
whole world has made their return
quite impossible, certainly for long
time to come, If not forever"
The significance Of this change to
the privately endowed institution Of
higher education could hardly be
overestimated.

BY PAUL HARRISON

New York, June 14.-Call it retro
gression If you like, or just a return
to the good old days. But the fact Is
that time continues spinning rapidly
in reverse 50 far as amusement-seek-
ers are concerted. The Players Club
is staging q serious revival Of "Uncle
Toms Cabin" The bridge fans are
toying with the idea Of going back to
a variation Of whist. Dice in par
cheesi cups are clattering all over
town. Debs are getting measured for
bicycles. And dignified men are 60
ing to sporting goods houses for pairs
of adult roller skates.
Mr.. Ben Cannon, ancient cabby who
haunts the lower reaches Of Central
Park, reports that his barouche hasn't
been so busy in years. Saucy bonnets
and leg '-mutton-ish sleeves are more
than ever In evidence on co1nely stroll
lers. There are kaleidoScopes in
Schwartz's window on Fifth Avenue.
Some people are staying in nights to
look at the modern equivalent Of the
old family album-home movies. The
pingponists are still ponging and
pinging, and backgammon hasn't died
out by any means. Also, folks are now
playing charades.
All this probably has some essential
significance which should be called to
the attention Of Mr.. Roosevelt, who,
incidentally, plays an old card game
called Miss Milligan." But it doesn't
mean that people are spending less
money for entertainment, or that
they're necessarily amusing themselves
at home. Go to any night club these
evenings and you're likely to find peo-
