And there is mno reason doubt the accuracy with which the portrait drawn. Hugh Emmonds, former. Klan Cyclops, had | no cause for n statement or even exaggeration ‘What he sets up can reasonably' accepted as the proximate truth. Political corruption of the deep- est dye, law violation by an organiz posed i-official agency of law enforce- ment, sovernment for vieious ends, are drawn into the picture by him who should be in the position to know whereof he speaks. Aund what was the result? Not advancement in government, not betterment of social condi- tions, not higher efficiency in public service Far from it! Came from these influences a sit-| uation of public rape in office, a debauching flfl solemnly assumed trusts, a betrayal of a commonwealth through fear of repri might be set afoot should the elected of government fail to follow the secret commands of a secret tribunal; a situation whose unbridled license involved men in murder and the tentacles of widespread corruption; a stination which wit- nessed the ation in penal institutions of some of the chief actors in the drama and which threatens the erty of other men in the affairs of the State This situation cannot endure for long. The very fact that Emmonds can get on a witness stand and testify to such facts is striking evi- dence that the grip of the unholy Klan forc . 18 being losened.

Senator Walsh of Montana, in a speech the United States nate, estimated that the sale of electrical energy in the United States has increased 300 per cent. within eleven years. This great increase has been the result highly, developed engineering experience and application of inventive genius. It h been like that the gas industry has owth within the past few yes rdapted to many industrial operations, large-scale baking, roasting, alumin metal cutting and pecial heating in the geramic industries. It is also profitably used Mor vulcanizing tires, pastenrizing milk and dry- ing Tumber. 1In the field of large-s e users for industrial purposes the pr ay record of 20,- 000 separate and distinct uses is being increased by intensive programs of research. These and programs are sponsored by gas associations and often by private companies in the of gas development Such facts as the above constitute the most potent arguments advanced utility interests in proof of the effective manner n which they are developing the industry for the benefit of the general public. That the utility companies in the’ United States represer’t a total investment of some $17,500,000,000, a sum slight- than the national debt, is probably sur- prising, but great improvements cannot be had without proper financing. It is represented that the total investment in the electric power in- dustry alone ome §8,700,000,000. During 1927 the United ates witnessed new financing for the electric companies to an amount approximat- ing $1,250,000,000, nd during 1928 it is esti- financing for the same purposes probably total §1,500,000,000. Public convenience cannot be had unless those who spend their time, their energies and their labors for them are adequately compen- sated. The sums spent in the financing of utili- ties may have grown with surprising rapidity in the last ten years, but so has the use of their | services. The public is today enjoying many more conveniences in this regard than was the case prior to 1914 °t, according to the president of the Brooklyn Edison Company, electric energy is today 15 per cent. cheaper than it was in 1914, The relative costs have been kept down as the sale of the power has increased. fence Monitor.) have volt During developmen cable, th use wic witnessed the world- appli and the introduetion plications have metal industries for melting and trea facturer for steel The use neetion wi of elec th br d so home just been to Se by means is being cludir refining m some of by the 5 will Two Letters That Spell Fame.
