“LET US HAVE PEACE”
One of the bitterest, if not the bitterest, campaigns Georgia has
ever known has come to an end and the people all over the state
will troop to the pollss before the setting of another sun to render
their verdict. What that verdict tomorrow will be no man can fore
see with a certainty, although predictions and claims are today ve
hemently set forth.
Wednesday will be a day of activity and expectation; 1 hurs
day will be a day of inactivity and retrospection. The Times-Record
er believes that with the coming of the calm after the storm, with the
return of the rule of reason, with the cooling of the passion now run
ning at high tide, this thought will occur to thoughtful men: After
all, it wasn't worth the price; the development of strife and ill feeling
among men of the same communities from one end of Georgia to
the other, did more harm than the election of any two mend could
do good; or than the defeat of any two men could offset.
The newspapers of the state, as a whole, are responsible for
this deplorable state; they have been bitterly partisan, as a rule, and
unfair to their readers, absolutely prohibiting them from getting all
sides of the many cornered controversies and forming their own
opinions from unbiased presentations of the facts, reserving their ed
itorial columns alone for their comments. Isn t >t about time for the
people of Georgia to be given a new deal in journalism?
THE BROKEN CONTRACT
Anthracite coal miners who are members of the mine workers
union profess to believe in collective bargaining. Often they have
soundly denounced—and rightly—coal. operators refusing to ar
bitrate labor demands. They have been unanimous in protest when
an operator failed to live up to the exact word of a contract signed
by operators and labor union officials.
Now thousands of these miners are striking. A strike is a strike
even though it be disguised as a vacation. It is an outlaw strike. It
isn't a fair strike. This is why it isn t fair:
The miners, through their labor-chosen officials, made certain
demands for wage increases. The scale committee of miners and op
erators got together, and both pledged themselves to abide by the
federal commission’s award. The miners, through representatives of
their own selection, agreed to accept the findings of that commis
sion. Naturally this carried with it the acceptance of the award by
the majority of that commission, for this is the land where majority
rules.
The majority report awarded wage increases of from 17 per
cent to 25 per cent. The minority report contained larger increases.
President Wilson, to whom the reports were referred, accepted the
majority report. So did the miners’ union officials. They signed it.
then became a contract arrived at by collective bargaining, the very
thing labor has so long fought for.
But thousands of miners took a "vacation.
Labor of America cannot succeed along these lines. Neither la
bor nor business can stand upon broken contracts, nor can either ex
pect the other, or the public, to support the right of collective bar
gaining if the given word is mere fiction, and the signing of an
agreement mere subterfuge to collect some dollars one wouldn’t
otherwise get.
The right of collective bargaining is the very breath of life to;
labor unionism. Without it labor unionism would be nothing. With it
labor commands an equal footing with capital.
By the outlaw strike and the broken word labor places an ever
widening gulf between it and public sympathy and public support,
without which labor can make little or no headway.
MEXICAN PEACE
President De La Huerta, of Mexico, spoke in a decidedly opti
mistic tone in his opening address to the Mexican Congress.
Commercial treaties are to be smoothed out. Extradition treaties
with other nations are in effect for the first time in ten years. The
oil business is booming, and looking better every minute.
Also:
The government is now able to guarantee the lives and prop
erty of foreign citizens.”
It is to be hoped that neither the Mexican bandit nor the foreign
privilege seeker makes it impossible for the government to keep
that guarantee in good working order.
SCHOOL BOOKS
Kansas saves $500,000 this year on school books, according
to the state textbook commission.
Kansas has taken from the text-book trust the publication of
books Kansas children use in school.

WATER-POWER, NOT COAL NOR OIL, WILL LIGHT THE
NATION OF TOMORROW AND MAKE ALL WHEELS WHIRL.
BY GEORGE B. WATERS.
WASHINGTON, Sep». 7.—“ D
evelopment of water power is the on
ly thing that will save the west.”
So says O. C. Merrill, secretary of
Water Power Commission, recently
organized under the water power
leasing bill passed by the last con
gress.
Merrill says he expects to see 8,-
000,000 horse-power of electrical
equipment installed within the next
ten years for the generation of pow
er from these beautiful natural re
sources.
In Merrill’s opinion the - nation has
just started on its greatest industrial!
era. The possibilities opened by this)
new law’, which was ten year., getting!
through congress, of linking up iso-!
lated sources of electrical energy, I
hold out the greatest promise for in- 1
dustrial development throughout the
nation.
“The devolpment will start com
paratively slowly,” said Merrill. “But
it will take on speed as it goes along.
The two greatest benefits the people
will derive will be to hold down the
cost of fuels and to relieve conges
tion of traffic. Nothing relieves
freight traffic more than to transmit
electricity over wires to take the
power, but this installation is gen
place of heavy tonnage of fuel that
has previously been hauled in its
crude state to the place where the
power is needed.”
Merrill is an expert on water pow
er,’ having been with the forest serv
ice for years in the capacity of en
gineer in charge of water power, road
construction, surveying and mapping.
He had been an enthusiastic support
er of a w’ater power measure for ten

years and when it was finally passed
he fell heir to the job of seeing that
the power is developed and protect
ing the government’s rights.
In regard to the west, Merrill said
the principal source of power is oil,
and oil has long since reached its
peak of production and is on the
road to exhaustion. One concern in
the west in now spending $1,000,000
a month in developing water power,
and even at this rate it fears that
its operation will be overtaken by
the exhaustion of the oil supply be
fore its w’ater power machinery is in- :
stalled.
At the present time the installation’
for water power is- 8,000,000 horse
power, but this installation is gen
erating only about 2,500,000 horse
power per year. A great deal of this
power is in the west, but New York'
state, on account of the power gen
erated at Niagra Falls, ranks first.'
California, Maine and Washington!
come next in order.
Merrill says the time is coming
when all the transcontinental rail
roads will be electrified, thus sav
ing great supplies of coal and oil.
They will get their power principal-!
ly from water power, but to stabilize
the supply of electricity, super-power
lines, linking up the coal mines and|
water falls, across the continent will!
be created.
Merrill points to the great success!
of electrical locomotives on the!
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul;
railroad, running from the center of;
Montana to Seattle An over-head
trolley is used. These trains have
to haul no coal for their own use,'
and the passenger trains have mo<e
I traffic than they can handle because
they are so much more desirable than
the steam trains.
The fuel situation, which is stead
ily becoming increasingly difficult,
will result in great stimulus to the
development of water power the
world over. Without another source
of power, coal or oil are absolute
necessities. Car shortage or no car
shortage, coal must be hauled, lest
the nation freeze or perish from lack
of the necessities made by machinery.
It is safe to say that the greatest
need in America today is for more
I and cheaper power. And the devel
opment of w’ater power will revolu-
I tionize industry and make the burden
that the average man carries much
easier.
