They have seen household industry replaced by mass pro- duction, primitive handicraft by technology. The very re of life itself is utterly changed. istant as our national growth in the 1830's and 1840's appears to most of us, it is separated only by one long Ilifetime. There are not many, to be sure, but some there are whose extraordinary rivilege it has been to see, unfolding across time, the magnificent development of a great people,' and to be of that people. However much we may envy these long-lived men and women, the unique privilege they have had, a moment's reflection compels us to envy even more the youngsters of today, who- are going to live through the next 50 years or so. Confident that the march of progress will go on, despite vicissi- tudes, it must be admitted that this generation has no ground for complaint. Life is surely richer, more varied, more fascinat- ing in its tempo and its rhythm of change than even that of the last half century. The difficulties and hazards of the present moment dwindle into trifles in comparison with the intensely interesting pat- terns of life that lie ahead. EW UTILITIES POLICY. Exit N. E. L. A, or the National Electric Light Association, which for many years has been the association of the electric power utilities, and popu- larly labeled the power trust. It is to be replaced by the Edison Electric Institute which, it is claimed, will have a new code of ethics. It will seek to avoid the mistakes of the older body which has been severely criticised during the past decade for such things as conducting propaganda through text- books in the country's public schools and colleges, and through college professors. Due to these methods of influencing and moulding opinion, a Congressional investigating committee once labeled it a public enemy. Under the circumstances, N. E. L. A. had outlived its usefulness both to the public and the utility companies. The Edison Electric Institute will be composed of 85 per cent. of the electric utility concerns of the country. It is announced it will operate as an ordinary trade association, being a clearing house for its members to whom it will make available factual data concerning the industry, fostering re- search in electric power production and use, and conducting a propaganda through ethical means to stimulate the progress of the industry. The new organization unquestionably has a special problem unlike that of any other trade association. It is made up of non-competing concerns, whose business is as much public as it is private, although many electric power companies refuse to recognize the public’s share in shaping their policies. By indicating its purpose of co-operating fully with State and Federal regulatory bodies, the Edison Electric Institute gives promise of completing a much-needed reform in the publicity and account- ing methods of power companies, It is to be hoped the performance will equal the promise, IRRECONCILABLES WIN IN IRELAND. Irish irreconcilables, determined to break abso- lutely with Great Britain, triumphed in the election just held in the Free State, returning Eamonn de Valera to the Presidency and giving him a majority sufficient to permit absolute control of the Dail, or Irish Parliament. The campaign was a repetition of others of recent years, notable for the display by de Valera's followers of antipathy to England. William T. Cosgrave, leader of the Conservatives, who had just begun an effort to unite all con- servative factiors when the Labor Party's rebellion in the Dail forced the calling of an election, had not gone far enough with his negotiations to present @ united front to the irreconcilables and his defeat ‘was generally a foregone conclusion. There was more than an absurd tinge to the Important economic issues were neglected hile sides gave their whole attention to the ‘question of absolute independence or co-opera- with Great Britain. No nation is absolutely in this age. The Free State already degree of freedom than many countries e e e Free silver advocates are once more vociferous throughout the country. But to date no new William Jennings Bryan has lifted his voice to electrify, or alarm as the case may be, the Nation with another “Cross of Gold-Crown of Thorns,” speech. France and Germa; both of whom “fired” their Premiers on the same seem determined not to let any of their Government’s remain in power long tenough to formulate a definite policy. 3 Throughout the count: there will be sincere regret that Gov. Alfred Smith decided against accepting a Cabinet post under President Roosevelt. His experience in administration of government, his soundness of judgment, broad vision and great ex- ecutive badly needed in times like the present apacity (New York Herald Tribune.) President Hoover, it is reported, will leave office accompanied by no fewer than eighty-two filing cases containing the personal records of his tenure; and in due course the material will be distilled into a complete and authoritative account of his own contribution to the exciting history of the times. This seems quite natural; yet in that fact itself there is an interesting commentary upon the chang- ing world in which we live. Victorian statesmen were not confronted, as they laid down the cares of office, by a ravenous horde of candidates for Ph. D. degrees demanding all the secrets of their stewardship, and on the theory that it was the office rather than the man which counted, earlier Ameri- can Presidents were permitted to retire into a privacy that only posterity might disturb. When President Grant compiled his “Personal Memoirs” there was a faintly raffish note about the enterprise. His contemporaries were inclined to find excuses (in the state of the General's private fi- nances) for what would now be regarded as prac- tically a public duty. Theodore Roosevelt published his “‘Autobiography,” but that was hardly more than a scrapbook of chatty reminiscence, unladen with the solid documentation which almost every public man is now supposed to owe his public—and the historians. Other residents have left their fame to the dignified hand of posthumous biography, and the idea that Cleveland or McKinley or Taft was under any obligation to explain his record in office would hardly have occurred to his contemporaries. Even the Wilson papers are still being doled out| by the estate through the placid channel of Mr. Ray Stannard Baker's account, while innumerable historians and publicists wait panting for informa- tion which would undoubtedly be useful and per- haps important to the Nation. The reticence, however, which was once ac- cepted as an obvious propriety, is now more often a source of only irritated indignation. It is—as always—the war which is responsible. The war pro- duced that strange flood of memoirs, beginning with Colonel Repington, swelling to the mighty torrent in which nearly all the European statesmen and many of the Ameican ones explained why they were not responsible, and still trickling now with such final contributions as those of Marshal Joffre or General Peyton C. March. Its purpose was largely exculpa- tory; its result was peculiar. It has fastened public attention once more upon the men and diverted it somewhat from the larger events behind which they moved. It has taught reading publics to dismiss such broad generalities as are enshrined in the diplo- matie correspondence and, instead, to demand knowledge as to just what Ambassador X said to Lady Y at tea on such and such an occasion. Peo- ple have become impatient of the published com- munique, and want to know instead whether the Secretary of State who issued it had indigestion that morning, or what the big banker wrote to him the night before. In these details, our age appears to believe, the “inside story” lies, and as a result the “inside” lives of its public figures have been seized upon as public property which the great men have no right to withhold. Compiling one’s memoirs has become almost as much an obligation of high office as compiling an annual report. Perhaps it is not a bad thing, on the whole — and in Mr. Hoover's case, at any rate, the result will have an unusual interest and public importance. The President has dealt with very great events, and his record of them should be a standard contribu- tion to the history of the times. Save the Schools. (New York World-Telegram.) The attitude of the Hoover Conference on the Crisis in Education will cheer those fighting to save the American school system from unwise economy raids. ‘The original agendum was disquieting. It sug- gested the possibility of drastic cuts in teacher sal- aries, school hours, night classes and .other pro- grams. President Hoover, Secretary of the Interior Wilbur, Dr. Cooper, United States Commissioner of Education, and others stood against such easy but dangerous budgeting solutions. Minor economies can be made in the interest of greater efficiency without injuring the schools. The conference adopted a resolution in support of some measure like the George bill to grant Fed- eral aid to States to maintain “reasonable standards in their public school systems.” This action is more in the American spirit than the defeatism of some of the counties and States that are letting their schools take the first brunt of the depression. National Geographic Society has compiled a list of 1932's biggest dams. It contains no allusion to the language some good Republican campaign man- agers used on the night of November 8 last.—(Phila- delphia Bulletin.)

But she did not look &. though she expected to be obeyed. When the door remained contemp- tuously shut, she changed to a whine, “Mark, it's not fair of you to go behavin’ like this! !It's not fair to me and it's not fair to Babs. She’ll be here directly—last thing she said to me last night was that she'd be round as usual! Shell talk about Thursday, the weddin’ and one thing and another, and you can’t expect me to be the cne to tell her you've postponed it again.” “Be quiet,” requested Mark's voice so close to the keyhole she gasped, stupefied. “And go away.” She stood with her foolish mouth gaping. Then her heart-beats slowed and she made off down the stairs. Not till she reached the bottom did she reflect that it was beyond all reason to be frightened. What was Mark, after all, but her own child? He ought to be asham- But she did not go up to that closed door again. She was pottering about in the ill-lit hall, muttering to herself, when there was a step on the porch. She lunged forward, knock- ing the umbrella stand out of its niche, and opened the door to Barbara. “How is Mark?” It was the first question acked by anyone who came to Kings Barn, Invariably, Mrs. Lodely re- plied, in the vernacular of her youth—"Oh, none so dusty!” To Barbart Quentin, however, she said it with a difference. There was an evasion in it. “He's had a bad day?” Barbara’s hands went motionless amongst the fastenings of her coat. “My dear gel, T haven't seen him since you have! After you'd gone off with Farrell Armitage last night, T found the door shut and you know well enough no power on earth’ll make Mark open a door if he don’t want to! And this mornin’ he lay low—without much as a cup of coffee—and this afternoon I had to run out to make excuses for him at the bank and do some shopping, although I swear he went out somewhere after I'd gone, by the time I was back he'd locked himself in the room again!” Barbara took her usual chair by the fire. Mrs. Lodely, astride the hearth, scrutinized her more close- ly than was her custom. Barbara laid her head suddenly back against the dark wood of her chair and closed her eyes. There were such shadows under that Mrs. Lodely’s habitual laug ter twisted in her throat. “Here, I say,” as a thought struck her—“I believe I know What's gettin’ you. It's about Mark goin’ up to Town with this young millionaire of ours and it's rotten for you, of course it is. But loud | i voice held every indication of am-}is you know if Mark gets taken up by a really rich man, well, itll be the makin’ of him. You sure- 1y see that!” “I see that,” echoed Barbara. She had not opened her eyes. “Toppin of you to take it like that!” breezed Mrs. Lodely. “Look here, Babs, why don't you and he get married before he goes up to '_I'own. First thing Thursday morn- ing?” “I can't, Judy.” _"I've a shrewd notion Mark's fixed up somethin’ of the sort with hat money, Judy?” On many and many a night when her troubled thoughts had merged into troubled sleep, Mrs. Lodely had dreamed that Barbara Quentin refused, at the Ilast, to marry Mark. In the dream there followed a sharp fear and then the decision to speak. ‘Babs, 1 youll marry him, there will be A lot of money, So fa- r had the give and take of become that it had by familiarity, betrayed her. ed her, for, as Barbara's feves opened and fastened them- selves upon her, she grasped her mistake. Barbara had not meant hat she refused to marry Mark. “What money, Judy? My own m-money,” she said, stuttering a little as she often did when making a great effort to concentrate. “It's precious little but I've bin thinkin’ that it'd help you if Mark had it. Keepin’ him in canvas and oils. He's always borrowed as much of it as he court, anyway" — her laugh was rueful—"best make it over to him entirely. Especially now we know he’s. blown his Aunt Alice’s leg- acy.” ‘But what on earth do you pro- pose to live on yourself if you give your income to Mark?” “I thought p'raps I could get a job somewhere.

When she had reduced a quiet pleasant flame to a thiny plume of smoke, Bar- bara took the poker from her and coaxed back life and light to the embers. Her lips remained clos- ed. “What’s the matter with you?" shot out Mrs. Lodely. “Sayin’ nothin’, Babs, and sulkin’' is a trait I hate in anyone. For pity’s sake, don’t you start any moods— Mark's are more than enough for me.” Her confidence in herself was by now re-established. “I'm sorry if I was a bit hasty,” she apologized. ‘'m upset myself with Mark's s y-shallyin.’” “If you haven't talked to Mark since last night,” asked Barbbara, alter & pause, “how do you know that he is going to London on Thursday?” Mrs. Lodely found herself meek- 1y explaining. “Why he—Farrel Armitage—told me about it jujst as you and he were gettin’ into his car! I thought it was a bit odd of him—" “I see. ... T think I hear Mark moving about upstairs.” “I don't. ... didn't you like our young millionaire, Babs?” “Don’t you think it is rather of- fensive perpetually to refer to him in that way?” “Well, I'm dashed!” Barbara had sprang to her feet and only by a miracle did her chair, pushed violently back, miss the rickety china-closet behind her. The wild-rose flush had gone from her cheeks. She looked white, 1891 42 YEARS’ BANKING SERVICE to the People of Alaska. COMMERCIAL and SAVINGS The B. M.
