Water Power Regulations.

The bursting Of the Luke Dam
on Stony River last week, placing
the people of the North Branch
Valley of the Potomac in dire
peril, us an object lesson at time
when the regulation and conser-
walton of water power is enlisting
the attention of thoughtful peo-
pie, who realize how tremendous
ly the happiness of coming gem
erations depends on wise deter
mination of the many new and
complex water control problems
confronting those on whom their
solution devolves.
This accident barely escaping
catastrophe, with fearful toll Of
human lives would seem to vin-
dictate Clifford Pinchot's Federal
control theory.
The Initial trouble arose IN our
own state but threatened, and in
fact did do damage to the citizens
of the neighboring state of Mary
land.
Holding strongly to the doc
trine of States Rights, yet we
cannot see how proper control
can be had, without concert Of
action at least, on the part of the
states, and unless and until that
comes, it would appear to be to
the best interest of all concerned
to temporarily submit 70 govern
ment regulation, at least to the
extent of safety regulations fol
the construction ofedams and inn
pounding the water, leaving Of
course, the questions of taxation,
distribution, etc, to the states.

Who Mr.. Huidekoper Is.

Anent the indignant protests of Mr..
Prescott Huidekoper against Gov! Hat
fields summary dismissal of Mr.. r.
Cary Montague from the Superintend-
ency of the Deaf and plind Institution
and the hot controversy growing there
from, the Romney Review says:
This is Republican row, one for
which the Review is in nowise respon-
sible; and in which it takes no sides,
but there are one or two things worthy
of comment. Mr.. Huidekoper did not
as Governor Hatfield charged, pre-
judge Mr.. Montague's successor
Then, the Governor, in language
more emphatic than elegant, assumed
that Mr.. Huidekoper is a, veneered
Democrat, parading as a Republican,
prompted by some evil minded DEM
ocratic influence in this county. Be-
fore the Governor of great State
made charge of this kind and branded
one holding an official position in his
own party as 'skunk" he might have
taken time to investigate little. Had
he done so he would have discovered
that Prescott Huidekoper is not q
''wolf in sleeps clothing. . in politics,
by any means, but that he is a genuine,
dyed-in-the-wool Republican. with q
long line of Yankee lineage; that he is
not native Of this county, but his fam.
lily has for years been prominent in the
rockribbed Republican State of Penn,
sylyania; that he is graduate of Har-
ward College and while an intimate
friend OF. Colonel Roosevelt's family
nevertheless refused to follow the Col
onel into new party but stuck to Taft,
Hatfield and the regular Republicans;
that he, being Of good birth and edu'
catedsnaturally writes courteous and
dignifed letter, from which the Gov.
ernor might take profitable lesson,
Mr.. Huidekoper, who came to this
Democratic community to make lis
home, will doubtless remember thai
the only man in West Virginia to cal

Wilson men in the State, the first to

he can get the Presidents ear and
whether if be does, the President will
show appreciation of the early support
of his candidacy remains to Re seen.
