Justice Harlan Says it
is Thusly.

1t is reported that Justice Harlan
used the following language at
banquet in Washington City re-
Gently: "The fathers never intend
ed or desired that congress should
exercise any authority or power O.
yer any part of the earth's surface,
freed from the letter and spirit of
the constitution. Again he said:
This government is founded on
the rights OF man--upon the theory
that man has rights as man-and
if we enter upon the world-power
business with any other theory in
mind, we shall enter it for evil and
not for good.' Verify great minds
differ in the quality Of the thoughts
they turn out" and small minds
fail to conceive of how any except
themselves could ever be right.

A Noses to Lead The
Arid Land Recla-
nation Forces.

Congressman Fran-is G. New
lands of Nevada, has introduced a
bill which provides for using the
money from sale Of public lands in
the arid and semi-arid regions for
the purpose OF constructing irriga-
ton reservoirs in the territory or
state from which the land is sold.
The bill also provides that the
Secretary of the Interior shall de-
termine, 10y the reports of the
Geological survey, when and where
such schemes are feasible, and tina;
he may let CONTRACTS for the con
struction of reservoirs etc, to be
paid for out OF the Arid land re-
clamation fund. He may also with
draw land from sale that is suita-
bic for reservoir sites etc, and the
salAe shall be available for such
uses only. The bill provides that
the exact expenditure made for
each separate irrigation system,
shall be equally divided by the
number Of acres of land that can
be supplied with water by that sys-
tenn, and that the person taking
the land shall pay this a!noant for
the use Of the water. 1t is simply a
proposition that the government
shall put in the irrigation system
with the land and let the settler
pay the expense thus incurred.
That is Just what he is supposed to
do now when he takes government
land and this is only a proposition
by the government, to put these
lands in shape for the settler to
take them up, where it is not now
practicable; because those who de-
sire to settle upon the lands are not
able to spend two. or three years
and large sums of money before
getting any returns, but could take
the land and pay the proportion Of
the cost of an irrigation system,
that would be charged up against
their land. This kind of a bill en-
acted into a plain law, that would
mean just what it purports to mean,
and then given a Secretary of the
Interior who could see above the
smoke from the furnaces of the
eastern states-who could Just
realize that there WAS part of the
United States lying west of the
Missouri river would hasten the
development Of the resources of the
great west. and usher in an era OF
progress and prosperity that could
hardly be inaugurated in any other
was The present Secretary of the
Interior may be just the right per
son for the work, and we trust IS
but it requires a broad mind and
all of the qualifications of real
live statesman 10 Gil the measure.
