The tri- jumphs of war usually are not unmixed with ‘bitterness. Great achievements often trail ‘envy in their wake. The most remarkable fact _jabout Lindbergh’s winged victories is that they ‘have been so free from any such reactions. The people of Mexico have for many years found it impossible to unite in this salutar tional sweep of sentiment. Their land h: wrecked by civil wars. Triumphs were ‘factional.

But it is still regarded primarily as aj remember what a canny Alsatian said not long ago. He summed up in a nutshell the-situa- tion with which the French government has to -}cope: “We love France, but we hate Frenchmen.” A Revival of Bards (Schenectady Gazette) When 3,000 composers of verses compete for 00| $1,000 worth of prizes for poems to memorial- ize Lindbergh’s exploit it looks like a revival of this custom-made inspiration it is easy to answer the question, “What is the matter with our literature?” Incidentally it explains the almost complete disappearance of the production of the thou- sands of bards and minstrels that infested Ire- land and Scandinavia and other lands in very olden times. Not that there is not a good proportion of poetic stuff in this Lindbergh grist but the good stuff dies while the apologists are explaining its weak elements. Take this first prize winner. “A single mo- tored monoplane slides east of Grand Manan” sounds good. But as the reader is getting breathless for the exciting sequel his heels are struck up by the rhyming of “St. Louis” with “Buoy” and he is never mentally the same THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE again. He relinquishes his intention to clip the thing for his scrapbook. If “leaden wings” mean what Nathalia Crane says they do then “wooden head” is an ap- propriate phrase to describe genius. The sweet-jingle of “Leaden Wings” is for the most part worthy of the delicate ears of Edgar Allen Poe. The girl poet has euphony at times “by the tail” as it were. But her genius sometimes shows to its greatest advantage in making almost any word in the dictionary that sounds right, do. Anyway the names of the modern bards of very good qualifications are legion. Will their function come back to celebrate the dramas of hee life in the vital revered office they once held ? We fear that, while the poetical talent re- mains fitfully with us in vast quantity, the office is dead. Poetry will always have its place and there will be poets, excellent ones. And every man should perhaps work more poetry into his character. Enterprise Favors Sale of Electric Plant (Yorkton, Sask., Enterprise) The sale of Yorkton’s municipal power and light system, with which is involved the grant- ing of a franchise to the purchaser, is a ques- tion that will be submitted to a vote of the burgesses within the next few months. This iS a very important, difficult and intricate problem and the Council is pursuing the course of wisdom in proceeding cautiously in the matter, Z It is important because the vote will deter- mine, among other things, whether or not Yorkton is to continue to operate an electric plant as a municipal utility or whether this important public service is to be entrusted to private management. The decision of the burgesses on this matter will vitally affect the future growth and development of Yorkton. Knowing something from the past experi- ence of the Council in the operation of the York- ton municipal plant; having in mind the capital invested and the further heavy commitments necessary if the plant and its distribution sys- tem are to be maintained in a state of efficien- cy and the growing demand for electric power and light service that will be adequate, less costly and reasonably free from interruption assured, The Enterprise can see but one solu- tion of the problem. Each of the three companies competing for the purchase of our system and franchise offer us substantially lower rates for. both light and power over a period of years; an increase in the available supply of power sufficient to meet all demands for industrial expansion and to as- sume the debenture indebtedness of the plant. The acceptance of any one of these offers would automatically result in a considerable saving in power and light costs annually both to the town and the individual consumers, would place Yorkton in a position to offer industries power Deadly Monotony If a woman has worked for six or eight years some of the many industries now open to » it is probable she has held hundreds of bs within that period. Statistics show wom- factory workers change jobs from month month, and many of them from weck to The largest cause of change appears to be ‘wages and long hours. Involuntary changes, ue to discharge or “lay-off,” number one-quar- of the total, About one-sixth of the changes due to dislike either for the work or the rement.

The work frequently and light rates sufficiently attractive to give us an almost even break with larger centres that are building up local industries because of being in a position to provide power at reasonable rates and would greatly improve the financial standing of the municipality. There are those who are opposed on principle to the granting of a municipal franchise, no matter how attractive the offer may be or the advantage to be gained by the transaction. Municipal ownership, with them, outweighs all other considerations and arguments. Municipal ownership, in practice and in theory, in so far as this particular issue is con- cerned, are two distinctly different propositions as anyone must admit who is prepared to study the question with an open mind. _ By continuing municipal ownership Yorkton citizens are faced with continued high rates for light and power; with inability to offer rates that would attract new industries in competi- tion with other centres; with difficulty in pro- viding adequate power to insure future growth and development and the surety of having to iN WASHINGTON LETTER BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer Washington, Dec. 20.—Some of President Coolidge’s friends say that his definite withdrawal as a pos- sible candidate for renomination is serving to make him more independ- ent than ever and free from political motives. If he were to be drafted next June and re-elected, they add rather wistfully, the country would get the most efficient administra- tion in its history. He wouldn’t lis- ten to anyone after that, they say. There is, however, one man who always can make the president do what he tells him to do. The man is Major James F. Coupal, Mr. Cool- idge’s own physician, whose orders and advice the president never dis- ees . -If Dr. Coupal asks the president to knock off on a busy day and lie down for the rest of the afternoon, the president does so without quib- bling. Or anything else that the doctor requests. This Coolidge pol- icy has unquestionably been an im- pea factor in keeping the pres- ident fit. rear Coupal knows the president bet- ter than anyone else in town— knows how he would look in a bath- ing suit or out on the sidewalk after an early morning fire. The presi- dent’s respect for his orders has been accompanied by a certain friendly intimucy such as many of us have for our physicians and Coupal is able to josh with the pres- a as —~ others ou ; me time ago a story appeare: in a Washington newspaper assert- ing that the Coolidge health wasn’t 50 , and that this was why he wouldn’t allow himself to be re- nominated. Withvut sa: so, the meet inferred that Mr. Coolidge might be a tuberculosis victim. The president, one hears, was mad clear through and showed it., That story was absurd so have many others been which hinted at poor presidential health, which appears to be as as on the day Mr. Coolidge took over the White House. Coupal once said he had the arter- ies of a man of 30.

Outside the convention hall, home town boosters were happy to whis- per of the superior liquid refresh- ments which they could offer the convention, There was much talk of Detroit's proximity to\ Windsor, Can., and one booklet distributed by Detroiters showed a picture illus- trating this inducement so attrac- tively that it was torn out when an unfavorable reaction from some of the dry committeewomen was re- Ported. San Francisco boosters spoke up for their supply—in fact, supporters of all the other contend- ing cities insisted that their boot- lJeggers sold as good stuff as those of any other community. National Co:nmitteeman Crocker of California, leading San Fran- cisco’s valiant effort, went even further, right on the committee floor, in promising interesting en- tertainment. He wound up his ap- Peal by saying: 4 “We can give you women, win- dows and shopping.” At this point Crocker probably was addressing the committeewom- en, but it didn’t sound that way. The Hon. Tom Blanton of Abi- lene, Tex., sai@ his full share the second day of this session of. the House, but didn’t really get wound up until the third day. If you look at the Congressional Rec- ord you will find that the portion covering the House proceedings for that day ran 40 pages and if you look closer you will observe that Blanton was responsible for all but 13 of them. First, the deficiency bill was print-d in the Record at his request, takirg up 16 pages and then Blanton launched into a long speech in defense of himself, with | evidence which required 12 more Paget. a ‘hanke to Blanton, everyone now knows ane Tae sod ig ra spectful oi ‘oolidge jokes—no maple sirup in Vermont next year because “the poor sap does not choose to run.” Blanton told it on the floor and so it got into the Record.
