IS CONSTITUTIONAL
Attorney Beach at Washington Argues for National For
 est Reserves.
SUBSTANCE OF ARGUMENT
Mir. DeFOrcst We'll Plcascd-CIear- ness and Simplicity of
 Exposition.

Before the judiciary committee of the house of representatives Attorney John
 K. Beach yesterday morning made a strong plea in behalf of the bill which
 IS before that committee as to it's con stitutionality for the preservation of
 forests in the Southern Appalachian
 and in the White Mountains. The bill was referred to the committee headed by Chairman Scott, but when ques- ton as to the constitutionality of pass
 ing such a measure was raised it was
 referred to the judiciary committee to settle that point.
 Mr Beach made a strong plea and convincing argument for the constitu- | tionality of the bill. The basis of MT. Beach's argument was contained in this portion of his brief:
 The object of the bill is stated in it's
 title and in Section l which authorizes
 The acquisition of lands more yalua- ble for the regulation of stream flow
 than for other purposes, and situated on the water sheds of navigable riv- CTS"
 The end and object of the bill is the regulation of stream, flow in navigable rivers.
 The means proposed to be used for the accomplishment of that end, is the foresting of the water sheds of such rivers.
 And as necessary and proper incl dent of such foresting, the bill provides that, subject to the conditions therein stated, the United States should ac- quire title to the lands so to be for ested
 The above propositions are believed to include all that may be properly de- batable at this hearing which is con cerned only with the legal question of the constitutionality of the proposed legislation.
 "The power to regulate commerce comprehends the control for that pur-
 pose, and to the extent necessary, of all navigable waters of the United
 States, which are accessible from a state other than that In which they lie. For this purpose they are the pub lie property of the nation, and subject
 to all the requisite legislation of con
 gress."
 Gilman vs. Philadelphia, Wallace 724
 When seen last evening Charles S. | DeForest. who is earnestly engaged in the work of preserving forests and In i,,c t,i for National Reserves, said: T have read the brief of Mir Beach's argument before the house judiciary committee at Washington on the Ap- | palachian and White Mountain bill. The absolute clearness and simplicity
 of statement with which Mir Beach lays bare the constitutional aspects of
 the question, and the cogency with
 which he drives home his conclusions. compel admiration. He seizes upon the very pith of the matter in the first paragraph wherein he says, The end and object of this bill is the regulation of stream flow in navigable rivers As one deeply interested in this bill, would be willing to stake its constitu- ional soundness upon MT. Beach's ar yument alone. This is layman's opinion, of course. It is difficult to see how the judiciary committee can re- port adversely. MT Beach has done the cause an inestimable service. Connec-
 ticut is to be congratulated upon hav- ing SO able representative at Wash ington."

The Inccme of TRINITY

Trinity church is the holder OF one OF
the greatest estates in New York or in
the cer..tsy. 1t owns IN the city pfop-
erty worth, according to different esti-
mators, from s39,000.000 to sl00,000,O00,
from which it draws an enormous rev.
enue, the amount Of which is never made
public. For many years no investigator
has been able to obtain any more def
mite knowledge of these matters than
that this is the wealth of Trinity which
she holds for good purposes. How comes
it that on the east side of New York
have been built in recent years, bright,
clean, fireproof. and sanitary fats. in
such numbers th.t certain regions have
been Transformed by them. and life for
those who dwell in them has been
changed from disest misery to something
almost suggestive Of decency, while Trim
ity has done nothing OF the kindY
How comes it that the Astor estate,
owner of hundreds of tenements. has

ants, and the Trinity tenants have been
left to shift for themselves? The Astor
estate maintains no charities; it has no
missions, no hospitals, no beds, and no
Sunday school excursions; yet am per
fectly certain that the balance OF actual
good in the world is in its favor; / am
perfectly certain that to obliterate one
court that breeds tuberculosis is better
than to spend $4,000 year on organ
music, and that te provide tenement
with fire escapes IS better than to preach
sermon of remote and genteel theology.
The management of the Astor teuements
indicates what even small measure of
civilization can do in the midst of bar
barous conditions; the management of
the Trinity tenements shows what cal
lous neglect can do to further and ag
gravate barberous conditions.
To be sure, all tenement houses are
bad, / know that; all tenement houses
are terrific indictments of the conditions
of grab and gain and spiendor and shame
that we tolerate.
And if the tenement speaking gener-
ally, works ill, Trinity's tenements must
be a matter of grave concern to us all,
Trinitys tenements must work more

A Word to Prospective Candidates

In view of the county conventions,
which are slowly drawing near, for the
selection OF candidates to fill our county
offices, The Tribune would like to voice
its opinion as to the kind of timber from
which good county officer cannot be
constructed. Too many of the candi
dates for nomination and denomination
seem to be hugging the delusion. that a
bunch of broken party promises and un-
filed pledges is an excellent record on
which to corral the votes of their
friends. The Tribune has occasionally
been handed out little experience of
this kind of which more will be said
late. gu.
1t is just possible that some of the
men who intend going before the con
vention are the kind whose campaign
expenses for last election are still unpaid
and in all probability will remain IN
paid should they be turned down. A
record Of this kind may be conducive to
vote getting, but we think not. There
are still, we believe, few good, honest
men in Elbert county suitable for county
offices and neither party has to go to
the polls handicapped by having a lot
Of worn out junk on the ticket, simply
because said junk needs the money.
The county court house is nc. :; poor
farm and in the fall conventions we
hope to see the man eliminated whose
only recommendation for office is his
ability to supply superheated ozone in
unlimited quantities.
