VICTORY FOR PINCHOT
AND CLAWS

The iuvalIdauon of the Cunningham
coal claims in Alaska is a popular vic
tory for which the greatest thanks are
due clifford Pinchot and l.. r. CLAWS.
IL is by no means certain that the plans
of the Morgan n-Guggenheim interests
are permanently blocked. Until the
law has been so made that the rental
value of the land must go into the pub
lie treasury private monopoly of uatu-
raj resources will not only be possible
but unavoidable.
Clifford Pinchot has always contend
ed that the coal lands should be leas-
ed, not sold or given away.
He is right. That is the only proper
way to deal with them. But to make
monopoly impossible the leases must
be so drawn that the rent must be paid
whether the land is used or not. There
should be no fine on production in the
shape of royalty or tax. Provision
should be made for periodical revalua-
ton in order to prevent any private
appropriation of increased social
values

putting the troops in military positions.
Not a regiment was properly encamp-
ed, not single avenue of approach

streets, ho,cis and barroOms were filed
with drunken officers and men absent
from their regiments without leaye-a
perfect pandemCnium. Many had even
gone to their homes, their fight from
Bull Run often terminating in New
York, or even in New Hampshire or
Maine. There was really nothing to
prevent a small cavalry force from
riding into the city. y determined at
tack would doubtless have carried Ar
lington heights and placed the city
at the mercy Of a battery OF riAed

any value TO the possession Of Wash

blunder in not following up the victory

He goes on to say that conditions
across the river were but little better
The first task undertaken by the new
commander was that Of keeping the
soldiers out of the streets and hotels
OF Washington, which he did by pre-
venting them from leaving camp with
out a permit. The next thing was to
restore the morale of the army, which
was done by increasing discipline, by
keeping the regiments most shaken
and disorganized in Washington and
sending the others across the river;
also by the general going among his
men frequently, reviewing them, as
suring them that they had met their
last defeat and by like methods. One
Of the earliest duties undertaken by
Mcclellan was that Of wedding out

he did so thoroughly as to raise yells

elicit approval from the general pub
lie. Another work done by the new

If the report turns out to be true that
the Guggenheim interests have OBJ
tanned possession of the water front of
Controller Bay, the natural outlet of
the Alaska coal fields, then the cancel
lation of the Cunningham claims may
turn out to be an empty victory for the
people. The coal lands will be worth
less to any one not enjoying the favor
of the holders Of the water front. But
there is a remedy for such situation.
The water front monopoly can be
broken by taking the rental value into
the public treasury. 4 provision for
this should be adopted at the same
time that measures are taken for leas-
ing the coal fields. Possibly that is
too much to expect from an administra-
tion which but for overwhelming pres

out Of all this muck Of contradictions
the facts Of the Bull Run FIGHT seem
10 have been these: That both armies
were raw and unused 10 fighting, that
the battle was well planned, but poor
ly carried out, and that both armies
were severely hurt, these things ac-
counting for the flight Of the northern
forces toward Washington and the in
disposition of the southerners to fol-
low. General Sherman said later that
both armies were fairly defeated in the
fight, and General Johnston has said
that the southerners were worse dis
organized by their victory than were
the northcrners by their defeat
One important result Of the battle
was the shifting Of northern generals.

the southern army was poorly provl-
stoned and was in no condition TO
make forward movement. For an
other thing Davis refused TO concen-
trate a great force at Manassas, such
as was demanded by both Johnston
and Beauresard. Thus the opportu-
nifty slipped away and much Of the
advantage OF the Bull Run victory was
lost to the Confederacy.

Bull Run Disputes.

There has been more irrelevant COM
ment on Bull Run than on any other
battle of modern times. On the south
eIn side both Johnston and Beaure-
gard claimed to have been in chief
command. Historians have general
" ascribed the role to Bcauregard,
doubtless for the reason that he had
been in charge up TO the time Of John
ston's arrival Yet there is no doubt
that Johnston outrdnked Bcauregard
and that it was his troops who won
the battle. The later history of the
war also made Johnston appear the
ADLER general. Beauregard claimed to
have planned the battle, but Johnston
fatty contradicted this and asserted
that he rejected the first plan offered
by Beauregard and that The fight was
actually shaped by himself for the
south and Mcdowell for the north.
The chief controversy among the
Confederates, however, ragged over the
failure to follow up the victory. Nc
Clellan and other Union authorities
have freely admitted that il vigorous
pursuit had been made Of McDowelrs
fleeing army Washington could have
been taken. AS the weeks passed by
and no move was made the southern
papers became restive and were free
in their criticisms of both Johnston
and Beauregard and even attacked
President Davis. Beauregard has said
that he had a plan to cross the Poto-
mae above Washington and strike the
capital by a flank movement John
ston boldly assumed responsibility for
advising against a pursuit Of Mellow
ell, and years later publicly gave his
reasons for believing such a
would have resulted in de-
feat Both generals agreed in ascrib-
