Hope Deferred.
Men Fear Death.
Jackson's "By The
ETERNAL" ,
The Price Hazard.
Copyright King Features 8ynd., Inc.
"Hope deferred maki'lli (lie
I heart sick." That's in the
liible, u ml it is also in a deci
sion liandcd down by the Unit
ed States Circuit Court of Ap
peals, telling Judge Clark of
i.'ew Jersey that lie was mis
taken. The prohibition amend
ment was adopted legally. It
stands,, and' is the law of the
land. To which you may add
that the amendment won't be
repealed for many a day.
' ' Men fear death, as children
fear to go in the dark, and as
that natural fear in children is
increased with tales, so is the
other."
i So Bacon said of our most
widespread fear.
Marshal Joffre, who has the
gratitude of his nation follow
ing him to the grave, quoted
often the saying, Nul ne peut se
dire heurix, avant son. dernier
jour. "No man can .call him
self happy until his last day."
"Death hath ten thousand
doors If or men to take their
exit." And they all lead to
peace, rest, freedom i'rom the
world's worries, responsibilities
and anxieties. It is fortunate
for the race that divine wisdom
makes us all cling to life. If
ive were all as wise as Bacon
and as philosophical as'the okl
Greeks, many would be missing.
Major General Brown,' chief
, of army engineers, says, the
1 United States government is
virtually "at the mercy of the
Alabama Power Company in
disposing of Muscle Shoals
power."
That statement should inter
est somebody.
When the y told Andrew
Jackson something like that
concerning a great hank, his
reply was that if there existed
any such power he would crush
it, "by the elernnl," and he
did.
Kngineers report that the
$171,547,(100 St. Lawrence river
power project as now planned,
will eliminate "about 75 per
l"onl of the hazards incident to
such construction."
The project, according to en
gineers, will develop 2,000.000
horsepower.
' Nothing could be more inter
