To Be ATTACKED

STOCKTON, Aug. IA bitter war
fare is on between sheepmen and cat
tlemen of California and Nevada over
the right to pasture their f1ocks in the
Government forest reserves. The ques-
tion will be tested in the United States
courts. The test case will be carried
UP from Stockton.
Thomas Deguerre large sheepman
of Mono County, who was recently ar
rested for alleged transgression upon
the reserves, will have the constitu-
tionality of the reserve law decided
He has engaged two attorneys to de-
fend him. Charles Fairall, one of his
lawyers said to-day:
"The most important feature now is
the question of the law under which
these men are being prevented from
going into the reserve Congress has
failed to legislate upon the question of
reserves further than to give power to
certain Federal officers to create them
and to adopt rules for their govern
rnent. 1t is, the contention of the Sheep
men that the delegation of power by
Congress TO executive officers, such as
the Bureau of Forestry, the Secretary
of the Interior or the General Land Of
fee, to promulgate laws, the violation
of which will constitute public Of
fenses, is unconstitutional"

DEFENCE OF COLLEGE SOCIALISM.

To the Editor of The Tribune,
Sir: In spite OF the openly expressed condemna-
ton by THE National Civic Federation Review
OF proposed International socialistc society. as
planned by J. G. Phelps Stokes and other college
men and women. I. for one. believe IN the need
and usefulness Of just such a society.
Individualism and socialism are not contradictory
opposites. but complementary moral forces. which
may be compared 10 the centrifugal and centripeta
forces in the mechanical sphere
Now. it is not the interest OF the Individual
student, possessed OF e1ucation. ts spread his
individuality in as ssive and selfish way over
the widest domain possible. and to make every
thing tell to his own selfish aggrandizement and
to write a broad Il" over the face Of the uni

his glory to serve many Of his fellow men

possible. To prepare him to do this the college

humanities.

une Fresh Air Fund has arranged TRANSFORMATION
for more than twenty-five hundred.

When realizes the amount Of detail neces-
sary 10 handle this number Of children without
hitch, the task seems stupendous. In going about
this work the process is something as follows:
Homes in the country first obtained and then
the children selected from the various missions
Settlements. etc, IN the city Then each child must
undergo a physical examination. to show that he
has no contagious disease. After this the children
are taken in hand by the Settlement workers and
provided with suitable clothes, tickets and special
cars. Train times next In order, and. after es-
corts have been provided the children are ready to
begin their journeys.
To accomplish this work a large amount Of labor
and money is required. The Tribune Fresh Air
Fund supply the former but the money must
come from those who are interested in the work
In order TO keep up the record work OF this week
the Tribune Fresh Air Fund makes an earnest ap-
peal for large and generous contributions. The
life Of many child is saved by plentiful supply
Of fresh air and wholesome food and these things
be obtained only through the generosity of the
public. Every contribution. however small, is ap-
precated and helps in the furtherance of the good
work.
