AS TO WATER RIGHTS.

If it is the serious purpose Of the
present administration TO pursue tho
policy of withdrawing large tracts Of
the public domain from entry and settle.
ment under the prctense that the land
is necessary for forest reserves or for
the guarding of the water supply. and
the control and reservation of streams
from public use, there Will certainly be
very serious conflict between the ey-
ecutive department and Congress. This
Will come especially and directly on the
point of the control Of the waters of
non navigablc streams
1t has been the policy of the Federal
Government from the first to refrain
from interfering with the waters in anv
of the States except the navigablc wa
ters. There has never been exertcd
prior to President Roosevelt S time. this
power in the Federal Government, much
less in the unauthorized interference by
the executives over the water supply in
the various States and the use of the
streams therein; even as TO the flow of
jurisdiction of the States has always
been recognized save only. of course, as
TO the navigable waters.
In pursuance of this policy. which has
existed from the formation of the Gov
crnmcnt, the State Of Utah. and even
the Territory Of Utah, assumed and held
complete jurisdiction over the waters Of
Utah. At times this seemed an anomaly,
but still this is the fact, and the iuris.
dIctIon of the State was complete
President Roosevelt. in his fcrvcni in.
sistcnee that he had the right TO con.
troll the non-navigable waters of the
States. his point being exempllfed in
his veto of water power granted by
Congress in navigabe stream in Mis-
souri, was out of precedent. as no such
Federal right was imagined to exist; nor
had any Federal power up TO that time
attempted to exercise any such iuris.
diction.
In the matter Of the reclamation
service, the national irrigation law cs.
peclally provided that certain lands
should be withdrawn from the market
pending the construction Of the re-.
clamation work. Then they were TO
be restored for settlement under the
terms specified in the law. Otherwise,
however such jurisdiction of the ex-
ccutive does not exist
1t has always been held that the right
to locate a water right, either for placer
mining or for milling purposes or for
power purposes, was just as open and
free ss gny other sort of n usab.e lcca.

LORIMER AND HOPKINS.

There is good deal of condemna-
tion III the Atlantic States press, of the
election of Representative Lorimcr to
be Senator from Illinois. in place of
Hopkins. But there is practically no
good word spoken for Hopkins The
drift OF the comment is that no i'm
provement has been made, and that the
Illinois Senatorship has descended to a
scandalously low plane since such men
as Douglas, Trumbull Logan. and others
of shining names represented that State
in the upper house of Congress.
All of which may be conceded by his
enemies. so far as Lorimer is con-
cerned: and all of which could lust as
pertincntly have been said if Hopkins
had been reelected 10 succeed himself.
No State can always have Douglases,
and Trumbulls, and Logans for Sena-
tors. But. at least, in Lorimcr's case
we shall not expect him to put up an
entirely fictitious case and urge it upon
the Senate AS something genuine. rs
Hopkins did in his presentation Of the
Smoot case TO the Senate. pretending

is that 1T is not the true one. It is
true, of course, that Hopkins cot more

The primaries; and, while receiving
more votes than either Of his competI

minority on the total vote. But a can.

fails to give majority candidate, there

rule; and in conventions when this hap

candidate in this case.

all right; it resulted we'll And no

BEVERIDGE AND THE RECORD,

II appears that Senator Bevcridpe s
mouth has got him into trouble again
Just as it did when the late Senator
Pettus OF Alabama gave him such a
beautiful dressing down. 1t appears
that it is Republican Senators who now
give Beveridge his dues, as appears from
the following extract from a Washing.
ton letter to the Boston Herald:
Senator Beverldgc is nursing a double
grievance against two New England col
leagues. Some days ago Senator Gal
| llnger OF New Hampshire broke out in a
lew caustic remarks at the Hoosicrs cx-
| pense.
'Strllse il out of the Record. won't
you?, Mr.. BcverIdgc asked few min
| utcs later.
| the impcrturbable Granite Slater,
! Only short while aftcrward Senator
BeVeridge and Senator Hale had a tor
rife whrl during which the latter Scold-
cd his youthful combatant for trying to
break into the newspapers daily.
Il wish, Senator Hale, YOU would cut
those remarks out OF the official COPY,
Senator Beveridge came around to say
when 1t was all over
II won't" snapped the Maine Scna-
tor, and the next morning the scycrest
curtain lecture heard at this session of
Congress was embalmcd In the Congress
sional Record.
Record, however, revised for binding into
big volumes, and Senator Bcveridgc still
has hopes,
From which it appears that in per
sonal matters such as this, the news
paper reports arc more to be relied on
than the official Congressional Record.
For. it is the practice for members TO
smooth over or omit such things on
plea or by consent, BeverIdge in pre-
ferring his request for such omission in
his case, was simply pursuing the usual
course. And it appears, further, that,
while his request was refused so far
as the current daily Record is concerned,
il may yet be granted as to the final
publication of the Record in bound,
permanent form.
This is valuable testimony just now,
for those ignorant persons here who con
tended that our Washington dispatches
AS to the snubbing of Smoot were un
true. because they did not appear in the
Record in the harsh form of our report,
We contended at the time, and cited the
evident lapse in the Record AS pub
isheu, rs PROOF lnat our report WAS ac-
curate; that it gave the facts precisely
as they occurred on the floor of the Sen
ate
The only difference between the two
cases is that in the Smoot case the
pleading 10 have the snubs left out of
the Record (though the place where they
should have appeared was plainly indi-
Gated by the commotion that ensued,)
was successful, while in the Beveridge
case it failed, But in both cases the
custom of tampering with the official
proceedings was plainly in view. and
1t was seen TO rest entirely with the
Senators involved whether or not the
facts should appear as they transpired
