Deep WATERWAYS.

Advocates Of the development on a
mammoth scale of deep waterways are
inclined to feel encouraged by the at
titude Of the president toward appro-
priations for river and harbor improve
ments. While some of the canals pro-
jected or under construction may be
considered local in their benefits,
further development may extend the
benefits over vast section and so be-
come national blessings. The Atlantic
coastwise canal system which is pro-
posed would surely be of national i'm
portance in time Of war against enc
mics attacking the coast. Distances
would be shortened and navigation
made safer between Maine and the
gulf by inland channels across New
Jersey and the Carolinas.
Our existing canals, built by and for
the public. served their purpose WELL.
When private capital began to build
railroads canal construction was
checked. Railroads annihilated space,
great consideration in the days Of
development. They were well paid for
1t and will always get the cream OF
the traffic. We now have the problem
Of cheap transportation to meet. and
it is conceded that carriage on water
is cheaper than on land. By cutting
waterways across necks Of land, espe-
cially far projecting peninsulas. water
transportation can be made cheaper
still and the time shortened. This is
matter for public enterprise, interstate
and national.

LANDS IN FORESTS
MAY Be OPENED

/ Washington, d. C.-The forest SER
vice is preparing to open to home
stead entry number of fertile,
though timbered valleys, within the
forest reserves of the Northwest. The
lands in question will not be elimin-
ated from the reserves, but will be
listed for entry under the act of June
IL, 1906, which permits the home.
stealing of agricultural lands within
forest reserves. AS soon as some
plan is devised to make sure that
these timbered valley lands will fall
exclusively into the hands of bona
fide settlers who intend to make their
permanent residence in the reserves,
steps will be taken to get the lands
!. on the market, so to speak.
Henry s. Graves, who succeeded
Clifford Pinchot as forester, is respon-
sible for this new move, and is the
first official of the forest service who
has been willing to permit settlement
on forest reserve land that is covered
with merchantable timber Mr..
Graves has found, as a result Of his
travels in the West this summer, that
there are great many valleys, fol-
lowing streams heading in the noun

plate lands, oil and gas lands, and
of the lands known as water-power
sites at the points on the streams
where the water-powsr must be con-
verted in order to be useful. Dur
ing Mr.. Roosevelt's administration
millions of acres of lands included
within the classes described were
withdrawn in the United States prop
er and in Alaska, in order to await
proper legislation. Doubt arose as
to the Executive power to make these
Withdrawals, and therefore as to
their legality should they be contest
ed in court. The present admins
tration continued the Executive
Withdrawals, but suggested, as a mat
ter OF wise precaution, securing from
Congress express power to make
them. BY Republican majorities in
both Houses a withdrawal bill for
this purpose was enacted, and now
over seventy millions of acres have
been re-withdrawn of lands included
within the classes described. Much
Of the land reserved is coal and is
valuable for agriculture, and there
fore Congress adopted an entirely
feasible and useful plan by which the
homestead laws were applied to the
surface of the land, while the coal in
the ground is till reserved as the
property of the Government. This is
a new departure in our land laws,
and is highly to be commended. In
addition to this, it was deemed nee
essary, in order that certain reclama-
ton projects of the Government
should be completed within a reason
able time. that an issue of $50, 000,-
600 bonds should be authorized with
which to secure water for the settlers
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1910-09-29

upon Government lands within the
promise Of the project, the bonds to
be redeemed by the water rents for
the service rendered. In this way
hundreds of settlers who have been
patiently waiting for the completion
of the projects and suffering great
privatfon will be re-habilitated. At
the same time, the law authorizing
the bond issue prevents the expendi-
ture of any of the proceeds OF the
bonds in any Of the projects until a
board of army engineers shall report
the same as worthy and feasible.
Moreover, additional provision has
been made in the appropriation laws
for money with which to carry on
surveys of unsurveyed public lands,
a crying need in certain States and in
Alaska. Thus it is not too much to
say that most important steps have
been taken toward the proper conser-
walton of our resources In the legisla-
ton of the present Congress. There
remains to be considered and settled
the question of the method of dispos-
ing of these lands so that the Govern
ment may retain sufficient control to
prevent monopoly in their use and
to secure the public against extortion
for coal, oil, gas, phosphate or water
power on the one hand, and yet may
give to private capital sufficient in
ducement to bring about a normal
development of the wealth contained
in these lands to aid in the building
up OF the country. Neither the Dem
ocrats of the House nor the Demo-
Gratis of the Senate as a body. al

clared in favor OF conservation, have

of 1897, gave the State the greatest
educational impetus in it's history Mr..
Butler together with DR.. Chas. D.
McIver, and other leading educators,
made a campaign in this section of
the State, advocating this great edu-
cational reform.
This writer heard Prof P. P. Clax-
ton say, while holding teachers in
stitute in Sampson County in 1900,
that Mr.. Geo. E. Butler, by reforming
the school law of North Carolina and
originating the township system, had
shown himself to be one of the great
est benefactors of the State, and was
entitled to a monument at the hands
of the educators of North Carolina.
Mr.. Butler, while a member of the
Legislature of 1905, advocated many
other educational reforms, chief of
which was the election of all school
officials in each country by a direct
vote of the people.
When the call for volunteers was
made in 1898, to enlist in the war
with Spain. Mr.. Geo. E. Butler was
the first man in Sampson County to
offer himself for service at the front
He was made a major in the First

There are few men in the State
who have cleaner public and private
life and enjoy more the confidence of
the people; and for his years there
are few men in the State better
equipped to represent his State in the
National Congress, to which place he
now aspires as the chosen representa-
tive of his party in the Third Con-
gressional District.
This sketch is written by one of his
friends and co-workers in education,
with the hope that his merit may be
known in this district and recogniz-

public education and who want an
honest, energetic and progressive rep

injured employees more easily to re-
cover just damages.
But in one sense the most forward
step taken in the interest of the
worker was the creation of Con-
gressional Commission to report a
practical bill for the fixing of work
mems compensation for injuries re-
ceived in the employment of inter-
state commerce railways, as risks in
the business to be fixed by speedy ar
bitration and to be graduated accord
ing to the extent of the injury and
the earning capacity of the injured
person. This is important, not only
as affecting interstate commerce rail-
ways, but, if adopted, as furnishing a
model to the country for a bene-
fetal change in the legal relation be-
tween employee and employer. This
reform would put an end to the vex-
atious and costly litigation through
which an injured employee must go
in order to recover damages-litiga-
ton which on account of the poverty
of the employee frequently serves to
defeat the ends of justice, and in
other instances leads to exorbitant
and unjust verdicts.
Conservation.
One of the great questions which
has been made national issue and
aroused public interest through the
insistence of President Roosevelt is
that of conservation of our national
resources. From the Federal stand
point, this concerns the preservation
of forests, the reclamation Of arid
lands of the Government and the
proper treatment and disposition of
our Government coal lands, phos-

How Fabius Busbee Urged Mr.. But

At this time Hon. Fabius Busbee.

holders of these bonds and had been
for several years. He went TO Mr.
Butler and told him that he had for
years appealed 10 the Legislature to
pay this honest debt, which should

Mr.. Butler Did What He Had n Legal

Mr.. Butler not only agreed 10 rep
