true that in tho early lays of the Ma
iion there was a sentiment among the
original colonies that looked TO the
holding of the vast tracts west of the
Allegheny Mountains as tributary ter
ritory by those colonies. and some of
them placed reservations that might
easily have caused a great deal of
trouble. and that did cause friction.
The better idea prevailed. however, and
those reservations were given up; the
greatest of all was the surrender by
Virginia of the Northwest Territory.
And from tho moment Of the prevalence
of that National idea, there has al
WAYS been consensus Of opinion that
il is better for all OF the people 10

latiou and wealth increased. than for
the land and resources to lie Idle. Tho
body of the people Of the whole coun-
try get thereby a much greater adj
vantage than they could get in holding
the land in its undcvcloped state or
in tributary condition, The Pinchot con

appears To hold TO 10 part, is merely

SECRETARY FISHER ON LANDS.

Secretary Fisher Of the Interior De
partmcnt met with the Western Gov
crnors in st. Paul on Monday, and gave
them the benefit Of his experience with
aud knowledge of tho land laws, of rec
lamation. OF forest reserves. of water
power reserves, Of coal land withdraw
ais, and the like. Nothing specially
new. however, was developed in this. so
far as Secretary Fisher s explanations
are concerned, He brought forward
again his leasing proposition for coal
mines and commended il, as though it
had been tried and experience had vim
dicatcd it. But nothing of the kind
is true; there has been no leasing sys-
tenn and il would be quite impossible
for coal mines to work under lease in
competition with mines owned by the
companies that already have control
Of the trade. 1t is said that the lcas-
iug system works we'll in Australia and
in British Columbia: but, that by no
means indicates that il would work well
with us. Many things work well under
he monarChic system which do not
work we'll in a republic. With us, for
instance. every power that an cXccu.
tive officer can rightly exercise Is con
tcrrcd upon him by law; Il that officer
undertakes TO exercise any power not
so conferred, il is usurpatiou Quite
tho contrary in the British system; for
under that the King is supreme; and
any power not assumed by the people
through Parliamentary law is pre-
sumed TO reside in the King. aul his
order is not only lawful but the right
ful method of procedure. /, is quite
true that Pinchot and Roosevelt under.

assuming that what they wanted TO do
thcv had thc power 20 do. whether such
power was conferred upon them by law
or not. They even went much further
than that, i'm undertaking TO anuul the
plain provisions OF law, and deprive
American citizens of their lawful right
of entry upon the public domain. and
to Withdraw vast areas OF public land
from entry ON various prctcxts. some
of doubtful legality and some beyond
question illegal, through executive or.
dcrs
In this country the lcascr of coal
mine would lac subject TO constant
espionage blackmailing, and abusive
accusations. There would be ALWAYS

ing 20 say and 10 swear that the terms
of tho lease were being violated By the

the United States would be in hot wa

nous expense 10 omen tho mine, with
