About Penance Parties

TN glad swore of my sense Of humor for 1884,
because several of the newspapers profess to SEE
something terribly comic in the fact that group
of writing men and women went to big hotel to
protest against the treatment accorded to walters,
bus boys, chefs and kitchen helpers. 1t was the
attitude of the press that somehow other these
people did not fit properly into any such sort of
gesture.
can't see why. Certainly the general public
has large and a vital concern in both the hotel
and taxicab strikes. Not only does humanitarian
ism above the general public but sheer intelligent
selfinterest well After all. the salaries Of walters
and OF taxi drivers are paid largely by the patrons
The employer is in no sound position to say, What
business is it Of yourS?"
Writers are spokesman of the public and have
every reason to be heard. 1t may be charged that
some OF us have been so slothful and indifferent
to public concerns in the past that recent demon
STATIONS fall under the head of penance parties.
Well so be it, If we late there is even more
reason now for all good pretty good and indifferent
writers TO come to the aid Of the party.

Decided changes in the work of the
family welfare societies of the coun-

rect relief coming from public funds,
he pointed out that more effective
case work. making sure that the fam

OF the family agency.
This new trend, willett said. is in
line with the rebuild" program Of the
1894 Mobilization for Human Needs.
which will be held in Washington
next month, with the view to placing
families on self-supporting basis
again rather than continue them on

help solve many family problems out
side the mere need for food, shelter
and clothing.

Has Wondrous Beauty.
At Bonneville, President Roosevelt
was able to see real drama being
enacted in q scene of wondrous
beauty. The Columbia River at Bon
neville, rushes through 5000 foot
gorge and in the distance are the
snow-capped peaks of Mount Hood,
with Mount Rainier and Mount Adams
on the washington side. In this
scene Of grandure, an army Of men
with dredges, shovels and concrete
mixers are building lake extending
upstream to the Dalles.
A comparable scene, scarcely less
inspiring setting was being enacted at
Grand Coulee when the President
visited that site yesterday. Here, the
Government is spending $4,000, 900
for the greatest single harnessing of
hydro-electric resources in the world,
according to P. w. A. engineers.
175-Mile Reservoir.
A the Montana project, tomorrow,
the President will see work well under
way on a I75-mile reservoir with a
capacity of 100000 acre-feet. A
dam will be of gigantic proportions,
$50 feet high, length top of 1900
feet and bottom width of $3.50 feet.
This great hydraulic fill will contain
S5,0o0,ooo cubic yards of earth.
1t is estimated that the 9-foot
channel in the Missouri, created by
the Fort Peck Reservoir, will lower
transportation charges so per cent as
compared with 6-foot channel. 1t
will save cents a bushel on ship
ments to Sioux City or an annual
saving estimated at $11,0o0,0o0 to
grain growers.
This project is costing the Govern
rnent $50, ,000, 900 in allotments already
made. But the reduction in channel
maintenance charges VIII be a great
boon to. various sections. The charges
on the Missouri River north of Cairo,
ILL.,, will be reduced 100000 annually,
engineers estimate; food control will
be afforded, which will save an an
nual property loss of $4,000, 900. An
ultimate power value of $35 ,000, 900
will be provided, an adequate supply
of healthful domestic water viii be
assured for the urban population of
100000 and land losses by flood
erosion. averaging 10000 acres per
annum, between Kansas City and
Sioux City, will be prevented.

The completion of this work, for
