fi' THE WAYNESV1LLE MOUNTAINEER. f ; LIKE FLEAS ON A DOG. It is interesting to read the pro duction figures in the field of indus try and agriculture in the United States. With a population of 1,748, 000,1X10 individuals, our total output is all the more astounding. The ap plication of electric and steam power as an aid to man power is responsi ble for such aciomplitihments. American workmen have more power at their command than the workmen of any other nation. This account!) for their high production and high wages. There have been up and downs in American agriculture and manufacturing, but taken as a whole, it is safe to say that never before did the majority of individuals in the United States have as many of the necessities and luxuries of life as they do today. As one travels over the country he is impressed by the fact that new farm buildings are being built, old ones are being repaired, the majority of farms have garages, automobiles, modern farm machinery, radios and a constantly increasing number ars being equipped with electric light and povei. Naturally there me exceptions to this rule in some lo calities, but no one who takes a fair view of the country can help but say that it 'nas been unusually pros perous.

We have seen -imilar agitation for state de velopment of electric power, in NoWj York, in ( tilifornia and in Oregon. ! So fat all these moves to inject I the -late into business at the expense and discoiii agement of the individ-' ua!. have been decisivelv defeated. ' In Oiegon. advocates' of putting the state into the power business have just failed to get even enough names on the petitions to submit the meas ure to a vote of the people. In North Dakota, howe ;-r, . Non paitis.jn League candidates have le cently been victorious in a state election. This is the same league that a few years ago led North Dakota into a maze of socialistic undertakings from which the state has not yet extricated itself. How far it will attempt to go in re-s-tab'ishing its old doctrines, no one knows. There is some agitation in political circles in several other sec tions of the country to launch the state into various branches of the in surance business. And so it goes over the country. The agitations which annoy and vex the majority of the people, might be likened to the fleas on a dog they demand con stant effort to counteract their irri tating effect. All business and employment is intei locked, and neither the agricul turist, manufacturer, capitalist or workmen nn profit at the expense of his neighbor. Putting the govern ment into business simply piles up the tax bill which in the end is paid by the consumer. If we are wise we will take stock of our exceptionally fortunate :i:-d pro.-perous condition 'today, and not be led astray by 'political schemes which experiment at the expense of business and in dustry, which means at the expense I of the workman and the consumer. ! include in addition to sixty or more ! children a number of professional 'men and women who are attending !the summer assemblies here. Ol'ERETTA AT LAKE J UNA LI'S K A. 1 Lake Junaluska, Aug 10, (Special.) I More than one hundred children and grown ups will take part in the operetta, "The Toy Shop," now un der rehearsal for production, on the nights of August 20 and 21, accord ing to Mrs. Hortense Reynolds, of Des Mujnes, Iowa, who will direct the performance. Probably no event of the season has created so much interest as has thi- entertainment. The operetta is one of seven by the late Jessie L. Gaynor and the libretto by her as sociate, Mrs. Alive C. Riley of Evan- . ston, originator and president of the j first Drama League in America. Mrs. Reynolds who if in charge of the production devotes her entire time to staging the Gaynor produc tions. She recently gave a success ful performance of "The Lost Prin cess," one of the best known of the Gaynor operetta, with a cast of H0O at Orchestra Hall in Chicago. The performance here promises to be a brilliant affair and the cast will INTELLIGENT REPORT ON POW ER DEVELOPMENT. So many wild statements have been made about launching the state or the government purely industrial un dertakings which require the expen diture of public funds ranging from $10,000,000 to $500,000,000, that the report just issued by Roy C. Finch, Engineer of New York State, on the proposal to harness the St. Law rence River, is of great interest While Mr. Finch's analysis of the situation relates particularly to New jYork, and is in favor of private de velopment, his line of reasoning is so sound that it can be considered with equal advantage by the citizens of any state, in applying his conclu sions to their own problems so far 'as they relate to the utilization of a state's water power resources. Muscle Shoals and the Colorado Riv 'er hydroelectric projects have been wallowing in political quicksands for years. Considered under the clear reasoning of the Finch report, rather than as political issues, their inline 'diate development could be seemed 'on a business basis, to the tfreat benefit of the nation.
