REGULATED WATER POWER.

Congressman Ben Humphreys has in,
troduced a bill designated IAN act tc
regulate the development of hydro
electric powerin the nayigable waters OF
the United States" In commenting on
his bill Mr.. Humphreys says:
The need of some general law by
which to shape permits granted to priv,
ate concerns to develop water power has
been felt in congress for a long time.
lnnumerable grants have been made in
the past few years as the application of
water power to industrial wants has
been realized as a possibility, but there
has been little or no uniformity in tn e
granting acts.
ITO overcome this objection and to
lay down just what stipulations must be
cOnformed to by those securing the
grants is the purpose of my bill.
1T provides that all future grants
must be under the terms of this bill,
and that no concern can obtain a grant
without first entering into a contract
with the sec'y of war, secured by suitable
bonds. This contract provides for an
annual rental to be paid by the grantee,
the rate of such rental to be readjusted
at the end of each ten-years period,
prevents monopOlies by prohibiting the
grantee from holding stock in another
company engaged in a similar enterprise
and prevents any understanding as to
charges for service between competing
companies, and requires the concern
obtaining the grant to furnish free
light and power to the government |
for the operations of the locks and dams. |
The contract further subjects the holder
of the permit to reasonable regulation
by state and local authorities or by
the interstate commerce commission
when the power developed enters into
interstate commerce, and provides for
a review by the court where there is a
disagreement between the holder of the
grant and the secretary of war. The
developing company is given the right
to use government lands lea the dams
and locks, but is required to construct
all equipment for power generation in
such a way as not to interfere with
navigation.
Before issuing a permit, the sec'y
of wal is required to advertise for bids, |
and no grant is to be made for a longer
period than fifty years, at the end of
which the secretary may at his election
take over the property from the grantee
upon the payment of a reasonable going
value.
Il have endeavored to draw a bill
that, while it amply safeguards the public
interests, will still permit of the profit
able development of hydro-electric
power and will encourage rather than
hinder investment along this line."

The population of China is gen.
orally estimated to be over four
hundred millions, but according to
the returns of census recently
published by the late government,
it is less than three hundred and
twelve million five hundred and
twenty thousand. The figures are
taken from the Chinese Cabinet
Gazette, commonly known as the
oldest newspaper in the world.
The census was taken by counting
the families and multiplying by
five. The estimated population of
Picking is a little short of seven
hundred thousand.

The Sunflower Tocsin truly
says that When you hear a man
Sneering at the local paper be-
cause it is not big, cheap and
newsy as the city papers, you can
safely bet he does not squander
any of his wealth in assisting to
make it better and that generally
the paper has done more for him
than he has for it. The man who
cannot see the benefits arising
from a local newspaper is almost
as much value to a town as a de-
linquent tax list"

JUDGES AND LAWLESSNESS

A Virginia Judge was cruelty
murdered a few days ago while in
the act Of delivering a sentence
to the defendant convicted in his
court, says the Commercial APP
peal. A New York Judge a few
days later received a deadly
bomb. He had just delivered a
much controverted decision in his
court. Another New York Judge
received, in one day, from differ
ent parties, four letters in which
his life was threatened.
Things are coming to a pretty
pass with the judiciary,
1t is folly TO contend that some
decisions are wrong and that
some judges are incompetent. A
decision stands as it is delivered.
1t must be respected. Perhaps
the judge is in error. 1t is human
to make mistakes, but he acts for
what he thinks is best and there
is always a higher court of appeal.
If a mistake is made there are
other ways to rectify it than by
taking human life.
The bench must be respected
at all hazards. The judges must
be protected in the performance
of their duty.
Virginia will sting and smart
under the disgrace placed upon
the name of that state until the
aSSassins are brought to justice
and are punished for the assassi-
nation of Judge MasSie. The New
York police will be held response
bic if the man or men who sent
a dynamite bomb through the
mails are not captured and con-
Vlcted. The secret service is en-
gagged on the cases of the four in
eliminating letters sent to ajudge
in which his life was four times
threatened.
Under any system and in any
government somebody must rem
der a final decision and there are
many classes Of disputes in life
which cannot be decided by pop
uIar votes or by an appeal on the
huStingS.
If America is suffering any one
evil at the present time it is the
spirit of laWleSSneSS. 1t is shown
not only in the recent disposition
to determinate the existence of
certain members of the bench,
but it is shown in the everyday
walk of life. The courts are not
as closet the people as they are in
nor are cases pending in
the courts Of this country dis
patched with the same alacrity.
The laws delay is responsible {
much of the IaWIesSnesS of the
American people, but not since t
he early pioneer days has this '
spirit of utter disregard for the j
administrators of the law been so q
displayed. q
There should be little call for 6
mercy in the event the guilty are G
captured, They should be pun t
shed to the extreme limit. The &
sooner the courts take a strong 6
hand and the ministers of the law S
see hat it is enforced the better 7
it will be for the general public.
