GET TOGETHER PLAN.
Is Being Worked Out for the Opposing
Conservation Forces.

Washington, Dec. S.-A plan is being
considered by the National Conserva-
ton association of which Clifford Pin
chot is president to bring together the
advocates of federal regulation of wa
ter power sites and those who stand
for state control, according to an
nouncement made today by the execu-
tive committee of the association.
The object of the plan, which was
drafted by Philip P. Wells, former law
officer of the forest service, is to af-
ford "a water power platform on
which both sides of the water power
controversy may unite to protect the
public interest and at the same time
encourage the development of the
many millions of horse power now go
ing to waste in the mountain streams
of the far west and the great rivers of
the central and eastern parts of the
country
The proposed plan has been laid be-
fore number of engineers of wide ex-
perience in water power development
as well as various officers and man
| ayers of hydro-electric power COM
panies and is said to have met with
their approval
The basis of the plan is development
without delay, waste or the sacrifice
of other and higher uses of flowing
waters
For this the plan declares, private
capital must be aided by the states or
federal government through corporate
franchises, condemnation of private
property and licenses to use public
lands and obstruct waters. The power
companies are to have certainty of
tenure for a reasonable time and i
chance for generous profits on their
actual investment for the public, the
plan promises good service, fair prices.
full publicity as to cost, honest capital
ization and fair rentals for public prop
erty used by the companies
The federal government, it is con-
coded in the plan, has no jurisdiction
unless its land is to be occupied or
navigable streams affected.

Chief Naval Constructor Submits Some
Figures on Ship Building.

Washington Dec. S.-With a strik
ing array of cold figures, Chief Con
structor r. M. Watt explodes the
rather prevalent belief that the United
States is behind the majority of great
naval powers in point of time of CON
structing warships. In his annual re-
port. just issued, he says:
with the system and method of
warship construction now in vogue in
the United States, it is believed to he
feasible for the United States to build
first class battleships in as short a
period of time as any other ship build
ing country, and actual experience
seems to demonstrate that the rapiditv
of construction in the United States is
greater than the average rate of con-
struction in the principal foreign shin
building countries. It is also worthy
of note that this decreased time OF
construction has been obtained CON
currently with decrease in the unit
cost of construction
The chief constructor declares thai
the contrary belief which generally
prevails has been owing to the fact
that the basis of comparison between
our own and foreign ship buiIdine
operations are not identical.

struct on the Pacific coast the collier

THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE OTHERWISE
AND A FEW LACONICS

A number of newspapers are wax
ing wroth at the criticism being level
ed at President Taft, because of his
attitude in the Ballinger-Pinchot con-
troversy. The Pittsburg Gazette says:
"It is utterly unthinkable that Presi-
dent Taft would stoop to crude trick
cry in order that he might impose
upon the people an unrighteous de-
Tense of member of his Cabinet"
No one has accused the President of
"crude trickery," but rather of the
lax methods of an Indifferent or dis
interested person President Taft
bids fair to be as "easy' a President
as Thomas Plat was BOSS.

many arguments on different lines as
to make food for thought
AS to the desirability of having the
negro compete with the white man,
even along the line of pugilistic
proWess, the South's stand is too we'll
known to call for further comment.
And it would seem, judging from the
newspaper accounts, the North and
West are realizing that ''the color
line" must be drawn and maintained.
There have been so many humili-
ating experiences for the South, when
the negro was used as a tool by I'M
principled, mercenary politicians; the
reign of the "carpet-baggers' dur
ing the days Of reconstruction calls
forth bitterest memories for those
who lived through it; the debasing
and horrible results which ensued
have been planted too deeply for up
heaval or removal, of the antagonism
of the whole South to any phase of

be valued, whether in a public or
private capacity, but as a rival in

have none of him.

but there was the mixture The
white man had negro attendants. and
the negro had white hackers and
trainers, but the negroes of the West
were, according to report, betting on
the white man.
The fight proved that young,
healthy negro could whip an elderly,
more or less broken-down white man.
And the South has had examples
of that too often, at less expense.
The negro, at the age Jeffries now
is, would no more be able to stand up
against a man the present age of
Johnson. than the white man was.
So no scientific fact of any worth was
decided by the fight.
The rioting which was caused by
the insolence of the negroes over
every section of the country, taught
the South nothing. In the abstract,
the negro is servile, more or less of a
coward, and recognizing the authori-
ty and moral strength of the white
man.
In the concrete, the negro is insO-
lent, Overbearing and quarrelsOme.
The South has to handle. the negro
in the abstract.
The North has been discussing and
handling him largely in the concrete,
but the experiences of last week will
doubtless prove the value of indi-
vidualizing him, and there will not
be so keen disposition to accept the
negro on an equal footing, even in
