Hurricane Jacks Spring Poetry

The following poem was sent to the
Independent by A. J. Parker, alias Hur-
ricane Jack, who has lived at Forest,
Crook Co., Wyoming, for many years.
He lived near Minot in the early days.
He is brother of William Parker of
this city and is great hunter.
How gladly do I wander through a
strange and savage land
The lasso at my saddle bow, the rife
in my hand,
And with my gallant mastiff bounding
by my side
And for a friend to love, the noble
horse on which l ride.
Alone, alone, yet not alone, for God is
with me there
The tender hand Of Providence shall
guide me everywhere
Without a care, without fear, with
out a grief or pain,
Exutlingly tread the woods or gallop
Ger the plain.
Or brushing through the copse, from
its leafy home ] scare
The stately elk or bounding deer, the
Bison or the bear
And then with eager spur to scour
away, away
Nor stop until my dog has brought
the glorious brute to bay.
Or if a pack of hungry wolves comes
yelling on my track
make my ready rifle speak and scare
the towards back
Or, If the lurking Lions eyes among
the branches shine,
A touch upon the trigger and his yell
low skin is mine.
Hist, hist, hear some prowler snarl-
in the wood
l sieze my knife and trusty gun and
face to face we stood
A grisl,- bear came rushing out and
as he rushed he fell
III, d. Hill uoS, my IAue Ads uoue AlS
duty we'll.
Hi, at him dog, one bullet cannot kill
a foe SO grim;
The God Of battles between his hum
gering arms plung nay whetted
knife;
Ha. ha it splits his iron heart and
drinks his ruddy life.
And then the hunters savory fare at
tranquil evening tide,
The dapple deer l shot today upon
the green hill side.
NY Toasted hound Is slumber1ng
around beside the water course,
And plenty Of sweet prairie grass for
thee, my noble hsDs.

AGAINST EARLY PRIMARIES.
Extract from Gov. Smiths McRae Speech,
Nov. II, 1907.

"The main question involved in our plat
form upon which we may we'll desire imme-
date action has reference to our primaries
as l have before presented it,
There are men running now for the legis-
lature when the first session of the legislature
under existing laws at which they expect to
serve will not meet until the summer of 1909,
year after next. am opposed to electing leg
islators for the session Of 1909 until the ses-
sion of 1908 is over.
81 advocate legislation to fix the time Of
our state primaries giving the same GER
talnty which attaches to the regular elections
and making it impossible for state or county
executive committees to bring them on early
or late just to please men seeking the Of
fees. The people are entitled to know long
in advance when the election will take place.
and a statute of the state should make the
day absolutely certain.
''The Democratic state committee will natu-
rally meet at an early day. l trust county
committees will postpone action until the time
is fixed by the state committee for action
throughout the state. The legislature might be
called together in January to fix the time and
machinery for primaries, but if the subject
can be handled through the state and county
committees this would seem to be the better
plan. Of course, recognize the fact that the
county committees would not be controlled by

Washington, D. c., March Especial y
The friends of the Appalachian Forest Re-
serve bill made a most favorable showing in
the presentation of the legal side of the case
before the judiciary committee of the house.
While it is impossible to state what the
position of the committee will be, several of
the members favorable to the prospect ex-
press a firm belief that the committee will
take the position that the government has
the power to acquire land in the Southern APP
palachian Mountains and the White Noun
tain range for use as national forest reserves
The hearing was upon the resolution of
Representative Bartlett, Of Georgia, inquiring
into the constitutionality of the project Mr..
Bartlett spoke against the forest reserve
plan.
One of those who spoke in favor Of the
measure was Clifford Pinchot, national for
ester. He treated the members to bit of
elemental physics, to show the necessity of
preserving the forests on the watersheds of
the mountains, in order to preserve an equa-
BILE stream flow and to prevent disastrous and
destructive floods. Using bit of card board
to represent the side Of hill, he poured
cup full Of water on the board. 1t ran off
AlA0 o. Ih1AA 1oOC' 4NOAG uC cOF0ICu JIG HupIO-
vised hill side with piece If plotting paper
and again poured a cup water upon the
make-beheve hill. The Iting paper alb
sorbed the water. He ca the members at
tention to the fact tha <stides covered with
verdure absorb rainfS like the piece of
blotting paper.
Bartlett Speaks Against Bill
Judge Bartlett made lengthy speech
against the project and quoted numerous de-
cisions of the supreme court which he claimed
bore upon the question He laid particular
stress upon the language of the court in the
Kansas VS.. Colorado case, which follows: "The
United States government can claim no pow
ers which were not granted to it by the con-
stitution and the powers actually granted
must be such as are expressly given or given
by necessary implication" He acid that The
government had authority under the con-
st;tution to acquire land for forest reserves
since "each state has full jurisdiction over
the lands within it's borders, including the
beds of streams and other rivers" Judge
Bartlett said:
cit would be strange, in the absence Of
definite grant of power, if the national govern
ment should enter the territory Of the states
along the Atlantic and legislate in respect to
improving by irrigation or otherwise the lands
within their borders.
He said that if the government had the
right to acquire land in Georgia for forest
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-03-05

the rivers, it had the right to say to far
mer in Georgia how he should terrace his
land to prevent mud from washing into the
creek.
Navigation Threatened
Gas congress has power under the con-
stitution to dredge navigable rivers, it would
seem to follow necessarily that it has power
to take such measures as will prevent the
necessity of dredging It is evident that the
wasteful cutting Of mountain slopes allows the
soil to wash into the rivers; that navigation
is threatened ythe filing up of the channels;
that this can be prevented to a large extent
by the reforesting of the mountain slopes. If
so, then the means to be taken for this pur-
pose-for example, the purchase of lands on
the watershed Of these rivers-will be wholly
within the discretion of congress and not open
to legal objection. A lighthouse is not an ac-
tive part of the government, but only an in
strument which it uses under the power given
it by the commerce clause of the constitn-
ton The holding Of forest lands for the pro-
lection of the water supply Of navigable rivers
is an instrument also under this same clause
of the constitution.
Express Hope for the Bill.
A poll of the house judiciary committee
has been taken by one of the members to as
certain how the committee stands upon the
subject of the constitutionality of the Appala-
chan forest reserve bill He declares that his
inquiries have led him to believe the COM
mittee report will be favorable to the project.
The opposite position was taken by Judge
Bartlett, of Georgia, the author Of the resolu-
ton of inquiry.
Should the committee express confidence in
the legality of the proposed measure it will
again be placed before the committee on agrl-
culture. Here Representative Lever, of South
Carolina, who is the author of one
Of the forest reserve bills, is urging upon
his fellow members of the committee the ur-
gent necessity Of the proposed reserves. He
is hopeful but not confident.
Brantley Questions Bartlett
In response to this suggestion, Mr.. Brantley,
that many of the powers given to congress
were capable Of being abused, but that the
supreme court had held in innumerable de-
cisions that because power was subject to
abuse was no reason why it should not be
exercised. He thought it would require a
great stretch of the imagination for congress
to pass such drastic law affecting farmers
throughout the country
The gentlemen who argued in behalf of the
constitutionality of the proposed legislation,
showed that it was carrying out the power
given congress to regulate interstate commerce.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-03-05

the rivers, it had the right to say to far
mer in Georgia how he should terrace his
land to prevent mud from washing into the
creek.
