WATER POWER. When in his annual Feport Seere- tary Lane of (he department of the in- terior calls attention to the great need of new and definite national policies concerning the production and distri- bution of power he deals with a mat- directly befere the country It Bas been emphasized ,by the curtail- today. the coal strike and by ments that have been made necassary as a result thereof. It is likewise Shown in ‘the restridtions on the fransportation of fuel oil which are fade necessary bechuse resort ' has Deen made thereto in drder to over- gome the coal shortage, The horsepower that goes to waste day because of the failure to nvelop the water privileges that are Avallable is enormous. Many are the instances where great quantities of Slectrical enetgy have been developed damming streams and utilizing the eap water power. Such plints are stantly being increased in number: their preduct sent over long Bretches of country for the lighting 8¢ cities, the operation of factories, e driving of street cars and rail- road trains, In other words water is being used in place of coal but while its Value is recognized it s unfortu- te that still greater efforts are hot mude o increase the use of it. Whatever heip ean be given to such development through federal legisla- tion ought to be forthcoming. If it is the delay in passing a waterpower- development act, which has been be- fore congress for several years, it is tithe that the impediment was re- tooved and action taken that would pérmit the eountry to get the benefits Lt new power resources. The matter is of such importance that it ought not o require the proddihg of "the sectetary of the intérior but it all cleé has failed It is to be hoped that ibds will have the effect of produc- Ing a revival of intérest such ag is needed to get 4 hational policy estab- lished. A WISE DECISION. What must be regarded as a sound and semsible attitude to take is that which is indicated by the unwilling- néss of the hard coal miners to re- spond to such effocls as were put forth to get thém 1o join the Soft coal miners in their blocking of coal pro- duetion. The situation 18 already badl enough with the bituthinous min- ers causing so much embarrassment 1o the céuntry. That the anthracite rainers could do much to make the situation far worse unquestioned but they show due regard for thei vountry when they rcfuss io become a party to any sympathetic strike. 1t 16 lain to the coun vy and 10 the! hard coal miners that there is fo chahce for the soft coal miners to succeed in their outrageous demands. It hag been clearly stated what they can_expect amd the outlook seems promising that they will accept arn|! &% dack to work without causing a more trouble and suffering. But there is reason io believe that the hard coal mirers would refrain fortn & sympathetic strike even if con- ditiens were @iffareat than they are just’ new. They are working under a contract that will mot expire until dbme time next March. They are not sesking to get a from the pro- visions thereof but any sympathetic strike would simply mean a repudia- tion of their promise in behalf of a body of workers whose demands have brought forth nothing bat public con- demnation. It was a wild idea to think of get- ting the anthracite mimers to go out, aven though there has been a wave of osmtract breaking among organiza- tions duting the past year. Common #éns® was against the plan and ap- parently it more than balanced any Appeal that was made for such ac- tion. THE POSTAL SURPLUS. Postmaster General Burieson heen fond of telling about the mar- velous attainments of his department sines he became the head of it, thomgh mueh of it has been done to offset the criticisms made of his manag ment, but in his report of the opera- Yjons of the department he calls atten- lion not only to the two million sur- plus for the year but of the $35,000,- 908 surplus for the past seven years in eontrast to the deficits of his pre- Chairman Steenerson of the house i i % are for the claims allowed but (When he states that the volume of | has more than doubled in the mentisned it would appear that| ! i ; i | i i f | | i g that congress 3 on, and,, tlio Hpon the mails perfectly #cell 6h poorer cer- up his bodst- g jetory service “more ereditable in such le do not people dislike to ‘pay and fail to get service.

There is only one purpose ia the mind of the operators and that is to take in the fares at the fastest possible rate with the -knowletge . that .the . quicker the trip can be tade the greater the in- come. Not a little criticism was indulged in when it was required by the’last session of the general assembly in this state” that public service car owners must file a bond, varying from $5,000 up to $10,000 according to the number of passengers. carried, to cover any claim for personal injury o# death as the result of the operation of the car. It was held to be a hardship upon the public service car owner with- out any thought being given to the protection of the passengers or other users of the highway. The importance of this, as well as other regulatory requirements, is well illustrated jn the New York accidents where 'husses have ben going, accord- ing to witiiesses, 30 miles an hour, where 10 examihation was passed by drivers and. Where one operator of a car only owned an equity in it andf possessed . no insurance to cover in- jury to passengers though the car was overturned and the patrons scattered about the street. That indicates a lax condition for laws which New York has but shows the wisdom of the bonding requirement in this state, IMPROVED CONDITIONS. There are those who are optimistic enough to feel that the relinquishment of control of sugar b the govern- ment, when the sugar equalization committee completes its duties at the end' of ‘the year, may result in im- proved conditions andy that the open- ing up of the mar will ‘soon" sta- bilize itself and that there will be plenty of sugat to be had. That there will be plenty of sugar after the first of the year there is lit- tle or no -doubt. Those in a posi- tion to take advantage of the an- nouncement to the effect that the gov- ernment will not undertake to con- trol the produst after the first of the year, or those who have been banking| en such an amouncement, have look- cd well to the fact that there will be enough sugar to mect alf demands as soon a$ the price suifs them, and with producers, jobbers and dealers given free rein the. prospects are not good that we will get all we want without a handsome advance in price for There fs ag great a demand for su- bo.no good !-;a'hy it should not | r carryin ‘Heils to twice the prévious But while Mf.

Both senators said the room was dimly lighted ahd the presi- dent covered to'the chin with bed clothes, ‘that he reelined on pillows/ ightly raised; and moved only his hi hand and head during the inter- view which lasted neafly an hour. Some of the members of the press take this to-be a refutation’ of ¢harges that he is suffering from some mervous or paralytic shock, while others view it as a complete confirmation of that rumor, However that may be the tact,| is, no_specific statement$ were ‘made by either senator, and the vress-and the public are as much in the dark a8 before the two members of the ferelgn relations committee sat the nresident. Only two facts were made clear—first that the president has not seen Secre- tary of State Lansing since his iliness, and the Mevican situation was not be- ing directed by the president: second— Mr. Hitcheock stated positively that the president declared he would make no move to resybmit the peace treaty to the sepate; - Beyond that the mem- bers of the press,:to whom the sena- tors talked, were left to make their own internretation of the president's condition and the fate of the treaty. The senate finds itself fact to face with two great nroblerss of vital ifter- national importance—first the Mexican situation and next how shall it be de- clared that a state of war no logger exists with Germany. if the president, after giving instructions to the demo- crats of (he senate to reject the-peace treaty, refuses to resubmit it or take steps lowards declaring the war at an end. The senate has taken its final ac- tion until the present treaty is resub- mitted or a new treaty. or reselution declaring peace, is put.before it. Senator Brandegee today said to The Bulletin correspondent that he did not care to make any comments on the Mexican situation, although he is a member of the sub-committec in- vestigating condition. nor would ~he regarding the fate of the treaty or u nossible resolution declaring the war with Germany to be at ap end. Mr. Brandegee said' frankly that -he felt was not proper’ for the several mem- bers of the committee to make state- ments, but that the chairman, Senator Lodge, was the only proper person to do_so. Technically we are at war with Ger- many, although in fact we are in. a state of peace and have resumed some months ago a hap-hazard sort of com- mercial relations. with it by authority of the state departmént; technically we are at peace with Mexico, but in faet our relations with that country are straffied o' the point ' of snapping. Without decisive action by the chief executive national and International complications are certain to arise, un- less congress intervenes.
