A type of water power designed to rob the public of millions of dollars a year for all time has harassed congress for a decade. Bills have failed to pass both houses—because they were not bad enough to please the grabbers. But now there is A BILL SO BAD THAT THEY ARE ALL OUT FOR Never has more expensive lobbying been done in Washington, never has more high priced publicity work been plastered over the country, than that used to bolster up the Shields bill. Even the national conservation congress, assembled in Wash- ington May 2, was called to create public sentiment for the Shields bill, according to Gifford Pinchot, and other delegates who have been fighting frantically to preserve the public rights in water James R. Garfield, former secretary of the interior, urged the conservation congress not to commit itself to any specific legislation on the ground that it would be unwise to determine whether pending bills are right or wrong, when few members knew the details of WE DON'T KNOW! Just remember that every time you let a big corporation rob you—that you have got to make up that loss, somehow, out of your own pocket, out of your own earning ability, by your own head or hand work. You give away your little extra savings, your poor little share of luxury, that a few may have ten times more luxury than they can use. You work hard all day that some may never work at all!

The cup was in his hand when Delight started from her place, striking the goblet aside so flerce- ly that {t escaped his grasp and fell crashing to the floor. “No! Not" she cried. “You must not drink—you shall not!” “Madame, what is this?” de manded Count Balsic. “The coffees’ she panted. “The Albanian who served@you poured something in the cup As the Albanian fled from room, I and was gone.

There is no hu- man being, unless it be a freak of nature, who is not conscious of physical pain, but the more we ob- serve the laws of nature and follow them closely, the more we are able to resist pain. REFINEMENT and CULTURE should ald us In enduring pain. The fear of pain has killed many a per- son, not actual experience. Who can say that fear ie a refined trait? Society people are supposed to po sess more refinement than those us who live natural lives. Society renders us unfit to become mothers, 't Is too much to stand the nervous strain of living up to Its silly, unnat- ural conventionalities and bear chil- dren, which | natural as any of the other funct is of the body. What we call civilization may be responsible for the agony of produce ing life. It is, at least, according to Mrs. Liggett.

One thing is true, We do not forget the physicat agony we go thru, but be it said in its favor, we cannot live it over and feel its actual torture, we can mental pain.
