NEW YORK State and County Newspaper) | Bravery’s Bright Face | Oh, blow the man down, bullies—blow the man | down.—Old Sea Chantey. | The seven seas still run with the deeds of men who dare. Over the storm-lashed rail even now peers the face of the man who is unafraid, and th eyes of bravery have not ceased to rove in their | search for new coasts of adventure. The other day in the China Sea a new chapt was written in the book of adventure, where the courage of the everyday sea life blazed forth in one fierce and beautiful gesture of di 1g. When the British steamer Sunning left port for Hongkong, forty male passengers came aboard. In midsea every mother’s of them pulled a gun and rushed the bridge. Officers were quickly overpowered and disarmed. The pirates took contrel and placed two of their number on the bridge to watch. But for the challenge that was accepted by a chicf officer and second officer, another pirate ship might be sailing the main today, and a new scourge held cver the China Sea. But the dare was there and they took it. At mid- night the two men, who had obtained reve!vers and ammunition, watched their chance to recapture the ship. What odds! Two against forty! It was their moment of supreme adventure, the chance perhaps they had dreamed about since boyhood, and the fear of death was not to dim it now. Chinese son For some time past well know economists have been sounding a warning against expansion at the present time. The country will do well to heed) these warnings and look to its credit standing be-| fore even considering any step of expansion, no! matter how feasible it seems. Economists are not! just theorists. They are students of causes and! effects and their observation, in the aggregate, may! be taken as a pretty fair barometer of business con-| diticns. This is no time for expansion. | Editorial Comment —_—‘| Speaker Cannon (New York Times) Colloquially, Mr, Cannon was known by his famil- iar nickname, but in the long congressional tradi- tion he will always be thought of as Speaker Can- non. This was only in part because his last speak- ership was marked by a resounding and only partly incere political fight to clip the wings of his power. ! ong before that episode, which now has receded into something like its true proportions, he had come to be known one of the great figures of the house of representatives. In appearance and speech he was a sort of Joseph Prudhomme of vernacular cf the common people. It required, for example, apt persuasion and all kinds of diploma: blzndishments to induce him to lend his authority to! the great and finally successful plan for the beauti- They rushed the bridge and mowed down the two on guard. Buccaneers streamed up from be- low. They seized the chief engineer and, using him as a shield, advanced toward the bridge. Here the steel in the men on that bridge shone its brightest. Into the heart of the charging pi- rates they fired, even though some of their bullets must pierce a comrade. The chance was one of the fortunes of war and adventure which must be ac- cepted, Hand to hand then, with their fists and the butts of their revolvers, the two bully boys who took the dare fought their m2dern Thermopylae on a ship’s bridge.

Williams declares that 90 per cent of the farm: ‘Tife of this country is substantially the same as it was 100 years ago. He offers a plan of compl ectrification of rural highways to bring the pow plant to the farm. “The electrification would be paid for just as roads ware paid fcr, by the collective effort of all who are benefited. The project would cost about six bil- dions of dollars. There are 6,372,263 farms in the United States, y s@gcording to Williams’ statistics. About 450,00 of a these have electrical service or some other mechan- Heal power: 225,00 of this group are connected with 2flectrical central stations, leaving more than 96 wer cent without central power plant service. “There would seem little question that electric "power available on every farm would enormously dnecrease farm values of the entire country,” says | Williams. “Were this increase in value but slightly More than 10 per cent (a 40 per cent increase has » ‘Been quoted recently in actual instance in the state yof Alabama), the entife cost of the electrification “Would be offset by farm values alone.” hae Mr. Williams suggests tax-exempt securities. “hese would be used to build transmission lines and qigsued by sthe public service commissions of th: “States ee, Hotebs of the Air $= Roaring overhead in the night, great air lines t» England with her distant dominions, are realm of RSE Rain opr: had the vision years ago when he wrote vens filled with commerce, argosies of sails, pilots of the purple twilight, dropping bales.” It was a poet’s dream not even look up to see pass. giants of the air, SO amas ep opine = fying of the city of Washington.

Mr. Cannon was at-! tacked as a “czar,” a tyrannical trampler upon the’ of debate, and pictured as a type of political obgeurantism’ and reaction that must be got rid of | if the country were to be really “progressive.” As! ja slight indication of the way in which opinion has |since veered, we note that the Idaho statesman de- clared the other day that “Theodore Roosevelt! played a sorry trick on America when he dressed up the werd ‘progressive’ and made it the banner, the shield and the battle cry of a political party.” That would have been rank heresy to say in 1910. Then the country was to be signally blessed by get- ting rid of “Cannonism.” Yet the more the essence cf it was got rid of, the more it has since seemed necessary. Saying nothing now about Speaker Can-; non’s personal attitude or affiliations, the main thing | for which he ‘contended was that it was necessary; to have a strong party organization in control of; the house of representatives. At that time, as for, years ,previcusly, the chief centralizing and direct- ing force was the speaker. But the work which the reformers tock out of his hands, it was soon} found, had t> be done by somebody, unless the con-' gressional machine was to be left running wild.; One great point cf attack was the speaker’s power to appoint committees, He was shorn of that, but! it wi have been ncted that committees of about the same sort have continued to be selected by the new methcd, and with about the same iron grasp, on the business of the house. Moreover, speakers: subsequent to Mr. Cannon have been compelled quietly to adopt some of his methods. Nebody to-| day refers to Speaker Longworth as a czar, yet in| quiet but persistent ways he has done a good deal; to assert the imherent authority and power of hi: office, much jn the old Cannon fashion. {' From the summit of his greatly prolonged life, Mr. Cannon looked out upon the developments of government and of public life during his time, and’ acquired a serene and benevolent philosophy con- cerning it all. Even the bitter contest against him when he was speaker left no sting ‘with him. He probably thought that the more the rules of American politics.

Workmen issued now and then from the main auditorium and came back with more planks for the extra seats they were building on the plat- form. The class droned through its hour, twice interrupted by carpenters who wandered in, ladder and hammer in hand, to adjust lights and flags at the windows. Eric’s seat was vacant. Judith found herself ing uneasily at the door, whenever steps approached in the hall, but Eric did not come. The Horace students had filed out and she was alone in the room, tidy- ing her desk preparatory to going home. Outside, a sodden rain was sputtering down the gutters and splashing on the window sills, Ju- dith could see two wretched pigeons haddled in a cranny of the building, mere headless balls of wet feathers. The door swung back and Eric entered. Looking ‘up from her papers, Judith saw his rumpled yel- low hair and his flushed cheeks. He was waving a telegram aloft. “Jude, we're going to win,” he cried. “This is Timothy’s death knell.” He flourished the yellow envelope. “What's it all about, Eric?” she “My plan to spoil the revival mect- » It'll ruin him and your Dr. rn, if we put it over. Beastly hypocrits!” He was standing in front of her now, looking eagerly into her eyes. “You're coming with us, aren’t you, Jude?” Judith looked out the window. The wet pigeons had not moved. “And afterwards, what?” she asked. “Afterwards, we'll leave this old school, get married and live happily ever after. My dad will stake me titi I get on my feet. Will you, Judith?” His eyes, green and brilliant, im- plored her. Judith let her gaze fall to her desk. “I’m sorry, Eric. I can’t go back on my contract with the college. It wouldn’t be good ethics.” He flung away from her, turning you! to stare at her with blazing eyes. Then he was gone. Dr. Peter Dorn was waiting in the Stedway parlor when Judith reached home. He rose and held out his ; hand. | Judith came in slowly, giving him a questioning glance. “How do you do, Dr. Dorn?” “L’ve-come,” he said, “to make an apology.” “An apology?” she repeated coolly.- “What have you done to require one?” Dr. Dorn twisted his hat. “It’s wot so much for anything I’ye done, as for something I’ve thought.” She watched him, wholly mystified. “I asked Waters about it last night. You see, I was passing the house onc night last fall, and I saw a man climbing down the trellis from your room.” Judith threw her head up. you thought—?” The professor bowed his heed. “Yes,” he said, miserably, “I did.” (To Be Conti tinued) Dr. Dorn so far has heen pretty much of @ blunderer.
