CLRRRANT i
COMMENT 1
The Federal Power Commission
ftttK been" authorized by Congress
'to make a i nation-wide survey of
1 laleS charged for electricity, a sub
ject of interest to everyone, from
The large uwner, company down to
the man who 110W turns off the
lamp instead of blowing out the
. gas.
In an Master addrt ss, a well
known college president and pub
lic man stated that the money
spent during (lie World War
would build a $2500 house, on
five acres of land, for every fam
ily in Russia, Germany, Belgium,
United States. Australia, Canada,
Wales, Kngland, Scotland, Ire
land and France, supply each
house with a. thousand dollars
worth of furinture, buy everything
of value In Belgium and France,
and leave a surplus to be expend
ed otherwise. His conclusion that
continued warfare, either military
or economic, will end in interna
. tional disaster more serious than
'heretofore known,' seems entirely
justified. The days when a feud
al baron could hire a hundred
men, fight oftt his grievance in
a few days, and retire to peace,
have passed. When war acquires
such proportions that it ean in
volve a world in a quarter century
of conflict, physical and economic,
a time has arrived .when “there
ought to be a law.”
Aiter . several -nrom-ns or sparr
ing, an American •fugitive from
justice is taken off a Greek ship
In Turkpy, with the, suggestion that
lie is to he relurned to the Unit
ed Stales for trial. A great deal
of law. international and other
wise, has been thrashed over, but
the matter appears to have been
disposed of in the end, according
to the simple words of the poet:
“There's no place like home.”
According to the weather bur
eau. the winter was less severe
than usual throughout about 90
percent of the country. The fig
ures and observations of the
weathefr bureau ^ mifrrt be correct,
yet the average person will not
be inclined to agree with, them,
especially if he had to get through
the winter without an overcoat.
A gentleman from the middle
west states that well-informed men
I
in high plums are planning revolu
tion. looking forward to deposing
the President, and contemplating
putting the country on a Sovlet
Hussi;i|i haste: all of which, as
Horace Cireeley used to say, Is
important If true. Anyhow, Con
gress is going to look into .the
matter. One sometimes is inclin
ed- -tb think that -busy-Represen
tatives have to pass laws when
they Can snatch time In the inter
vals he; weep investigations. It is
.reported that the ghost of a for
mer President has been s*een in
t^e White House. Under the search
lag light, of investigation, the re
volutionary plot may turn out to
he just another ghost.
Out in Iowa, the police have been
railed upon to find a fur coat
’ which was stolen eighteen years
ago. Police officers come in for
some hard words now and then,
hut it appears that faith in the
constabulary is by no means, dead.
Among other persons of note,
Washington has a friend of ani
mals who is willing to go the lim
it. When informed by her cook
that a rock lish, laid out for clean
ing. hpd flopped its tail, she re
vived the fish In the bath tubf
carried it several miles across the
town in a wash boiler of water
and slipped the fish back into the
Potomac.
I Columbus had a little dit'flCul
jty In discovering America, but
i his troubles were small compared
'with those which America lias had
; in trying to discover IMllinger.
Chinese nationalists are express
ing their disapproval of western
'civilizatiq^ by throwing acid on
| garments^ of modern trend worn
by women. If the clothes were
bathing suits, or even some even- j
ing gowns, flie acid-throwers must
have been good shots.
| The oldest Representative in ,
Congress, in point of service, has
been laid to rest in North Caro- j
lina. His achievements as a states
man may lie forgotten, but the
world should not forget the epi- ,
J tuph which he prepared for his i
I own tomb: "I know not what re- ,
• cord of sin may await me in the
world to come, but this 1 do know: t
I was never mean enough to de- I
spise a man because he was poor,
because he was ignorant, * or be-.
, cause he was black.”
j It is said that another change j
I in the personnel of the President's
cabinet is contemplated, the At
torney (reneral being transferred to
jthe post of Ciovernor of the Phil*
ipplnes. By the suggested change, |
the Attorney General will lose ilia
chance to s become President by
Succession. If the President, the
Vice-President, the Secretary of
state, the Secretary of the Treas
ury. and the Secretary of War
were removed by death, the At
torney’ General would occupy the
White* House. The" Attorny Gen
eraj.^nf cuurBf, does hot covet tin
place of the Chief Executive thru
any sjich calamity us tlujt, and not
doubt will take his place on the
islands without jiving a thought
to tile fact that {.so far as the
next three years { are concerned,
his c hajice of sitting in the White
House has departed.
