SOMETHING TO HIM

FRANCIS G NEWLANDSIs one
of the even men now sitting in the
United State Senate who hailed
originally from Mississippi.
Likewise he is becoming year by
year, more generally recognized as
among the half dozen clearest
.visioned. hroadest intentioned
members of the upper house.
He is no single purposed individ-
ual, obsessed by particular hobby
This s'true despite the fact that
for ten years his hardest work has
been toward arousing national sem
timcnt for a system of internal i'm
provement and conservation, con-
trolled by the federal government,
comprehensive and all embracing
extending. from boundary to
boundary.
This thought is suggested by the
two places in the news of the week
taken by Senator Newlands. He
is the sponsor for the Newlands
bill for the establishment of the
Board Of River Regulation, en-
dorsed by the experts Of the Fed
eral government, and to be adopt
ed as the administration method Of
dealing with the flood, conservation
and navigation problem. This
measure, finally amended, was in
troduced Monday.
On Tuesday comes the news that
his amendment to the Erdman ar
bitration law has been fixed upon
by labor representatives, railroad
managers, House and Senate lead
ers, and the President, as the act
which, when passed as an urgency
measure will afford the machinery
