water power sites by Mr.. Pinchot's
famous Water Power Trust EN-
braced in these various Withdrawals
was a total of $3.50 $50 acres These
Withdrawals were made hastily, reck-
lessly and carelessly. They were
made arbitrarily without authority OF
any law, and many of them were made
under false pretenses.
When Mr.. Ballinger came into Office,
he viewed the situation, saw the raacy
of the course of his predecessor, and
set about to correct it. Now the same
identical streams that were covered,
or supposedly covered by the Pinchot
Withdrawals has been reduced by near
tected by Withdrawals that have Sc
gregated only 619, 529 acres. In other
words, the area of the original PinchOt
Withdrawals has bee nreduced by near
ly 100000 acres, and their effective
ness has been materially increased
More water powers are protected by
the Ballinger Withdrawals than were
covered by the original Withdrawals
made at the suggestion of Mr.. PIN
| chot and at the same time, the vast
bulk of the land which Pinchot had
removed from the reach of the settler
is now open under the public land
laws.
All the Pinchot water power with
drawals were made through the Re-
clamation Srvice About half of them
were withdrawn as power sites OF

sources" the remainder We're with
drawn ostensibly for reclamation pro
iects. Mr. Ballinger, in March last
called upon the Reclamation Service
for it's legal authority for making
Withdrawals of public lands for pow
er sites and for conservation of wa
ter resources" The Service coult
cite no such authority, and withdraw
ais so made were restored to entr!
during the last days of March and tn,
. early part of April.
The Reclamation Service was thel
asked for a statement showing nov

have taken advantage of the oppor-
tunity which was offered by Balm
gers order of restoration. The fact that
not a single water power filing was
made. and not a single power site ac-
quired under any laws seems to dis
prove the declaration of the Pinchot
followers that this powerful monopoly
is eagerly grabbing up every attractive

of the administration, and that Bal
linger would in turn be curbed, if
nothing more
More than this, before he left for
Spokane, Mr.. Pinchot urged Director
Newell of the Reclamation Service to
join him in his fight on Ballnger. He
laid bare his plans to Newell, and said
that Newell had even greater .griev-
ances than he himself, in that Secre.
tary Ballinger's course with respect to
water power sites, was a direct sap at
the Reclamation Service in that the
old Withdrawals had been made on the
recommendation of that Service. Pin
chot asurd Newell that the people
would stand by him, and expressed the
view that the administration would
hardly dare dismiss him, even if he
should show INSTRUMENTATION towards
his chief But Newell turned a deaf
ear to Pinchot's entreaties. He took
the position that the Secretary Of the
Interior properly shaped the policies

reaus of that Department, and his SUI

went direct to the President and there
lodged complaint against Ballinger,
charging him with undertaking to
disrupt the Roosevelt conservation
policy, especially as it applied to wa
ter power. The President sent. for
Ballinger, told him of Pinchot's COM
plant, and asked what he proposed
to do about it. Ballinger satisfactor-
ity explained his position, and was told
to proceed along the lines which he
considered proper. This he did, and
within six weeks began the rewith-
drawal of such lands as, upon careful
examination, we've found essential to
the protection of power sites. Super
fuOus lands were not included From
May "a to the present moment, Secre-
tary Ballinger has continued to make
withdrawal of sufficient areas of lands
to protect feasible power sites on the
public domain, and it is only fair to
say that the number of sites which he
has discovered and protected and the
total horsepower which he has guard
ed, greatly exceeds all that Pincnot
sought to accomplish in an eXtrava-
giant, reckless manner.
But the minute that Secretary Bal
linger revoked the power-site with
drawals which the Reclamation Ser
vice had made at Pinchots request,
Pinchot set imp a howl. The assur-
onca ha raaaiUad from, tho prpcidapt

not rush into print with interviews,
but newspaper and magazine writer's
who have joined with Pinchot to pro-

country reports that Secretary Bal

of the Water Power Trust, and was

ing his purpose to make his fight sin
gle handed, if need be. The attack
was made; 1t was ignored by Secretary
Ballinger, but was answered by some
of Ballinger's friends. The Secre-
tary was content to stand by his re-
cord and the law. He preferred, he
said, to be judged by his acts rather
than his words. And he proceeded
quietly along the course he had map
ped out for himself.
Meanwhile Ex-Governor Pardee of
California, one of the extreme Pfnchot
supporters, jumped into the arena, as
sailing Ballinger and lauding Pinchot.
simultaneously the Montana water
power grab story was sprung in a Spo-
kane paper, written in Washington by
a newspaper supporter of Pinchot's on
data which he gathered from Forest
Service sources. That sensation was
exploded when Director Smith of the
Geological Survey cited the facts. and
utterly disproved and discredited both
the story an its author. But through
It all Secretary Ballinger said nothing.
Yet he kept on Withdrawing water
powers that Pinchot never heard Of,
and is still doing so.

BY Z. S. Goodhue-Holualoa
Poets are born not made, they say,
Turned out by forces all too rife;
But here you are dear NJ in clay,
AS natural as life!
Your forehead crowned by curly locks
Yorw nose, your mouth, your frm-set lips;
And what from many an artist slips
And what his magic mocks-
The real emotion of your heart
The face you wear for those you know
Caught by the fingers of true Art
And gently moulded so!
All, you to whom the human form
Is beautiful tho cold and dead;
Whose sympathies are quick and warm
More from the heart than head.
In all the features of this bust
The artists skill has laid you bare;
Your Soul is radiant in his dust
Your spirit chambered there

test That the people Of DeKalb are in

the county, while work is being done daily
to place the remaining roads in perfect

In an interview on Saturday afternoon,
r. j. Freeman, county commissioner OF
DeKalb county, said:

is in hearty sympathy with The Journal

through DeRalb county you may choose
to go will be acceptable and you can have

county is now working about one hundred
convicts, about 60 negroes and 40 whites.
The negro convict squad is now at work
on the main road from Decatur through
DeKalb county by way of Bithonia. This
road will be completed In about a years
time.
The road from Decatur to Stone Noun
tain is practically completed, except a
short link from Decatur to Charleston, and
this link will be completed soon. A pro-
ject is now on foot to build first class
road through DehalD county alonB Fedch-
tree road by way of Cha1nblee and Dora
vile to the Gwinnett county line. This
work will be done principally by private
subscription.
"A division of our conviets will be made,
the negroes continuing the work on the
main road from Decatur to Lithonia,
while the whites viii do the other work.
In this connection the city of Decatur will
finance a project now on foot for a loop
driveway around Decatur. for which work
DeKalb county will furnish few of her
convicts. The remainder OF the convicts
will be put to work around Lithonia and
Peachtree road.
Good roads is our motto in DeKalb

us good roads without the necessity of

thousands of dollars. We are in for good

Farmer and Mule Killed by Train

Daniel Reed and his mule were instant
ly killed Saturday morning at Z O'Clock
while trying to cross the railroad at
Smyrna, in front of an incoming w. and
A. passenger train. Mr.. Reeds grandson,
who was in the wagon with him, barely
escaped death by jumping from the wag-
on just before It was struck.
When killed Mr.. Reed was on the way
to his farm few miles from the center
of the city. There is a long curve just
before the train reaches the depot and 1t
is thought that Mr.. Reed didn't observe
the train.
He did not see 1t until it was almost up
on him and 1t was then too late to get
from the track before being struck. The
accident was Witnessed by several by
ISLANDERS who picked up the mutilated
body of Mr.. Reed Immediately after the
accident and bore IT TO his residence.
Mr.. Reed was instantly killed, his body
being thrown several feet. The mule was
knocked ten feet pulling the heavy waR-
on with him. The grandson of Mr. Reed
escaped death by less than a foot. The
train struck the wagon with such force
that a spoke from one OF the wheels was
hurled through a window In the tower
of the depot over 10 feet away.
For the past 80 years Mr.. Reed has
lived in Cobb county. being one of the
pioneers. He is veteran of the civil
war, having served with distinction
throughout the struggle. He was 70 years
of age and is survived by his wife and
son.

WARE COUNTY BUSY
ON GOOD ROADS

wAYCROSS, Ga, May 24.-While Ware
county has not been as active as she
might have been in actual construction,
of public roads yet no county IN rne
state has been giving the subject Of gocd
roads more study and careful considers
ton than Ware. Nevertheless there has
been considerable road building and to-
day the county boasts of having four pub
lie roads, as good as can be found in the
state.
The citizens Of the county realized the
fact a year or two ago that to develop
the county it was necessary first to have
good country roads. Farmers who have
never been as much interested in the sub
ject as they should have been now see
that TO build good roads by their farms
win enhance the values thereof from
three to ten dollars an acre. and the
greater number of them are in favor Of
bonding the county for a sufficient sum TO
give the entire county a good system
of roads and bridges. The bond election
to be held soon will no doubt carry By
a good strong vote.
There are many men in the county who
are working for good roads, but possibly
the most prominent ones are Colonel L.
V. Williams, who was for several years
editor of the Waycross Journal; Hon. w.
II. Buchanan, ex-representative from
Ware, and DR.. G. P. Folks, who is a big
land owner and who believes that with
good roads, and good county schools,
south Georgia will be the brightest and
most prosperous section in the United
States.
