May 31, 1913.
The Supreme Court of the
United States has added ariother
to the series of progressive de
cisions which have come from it
in recent months. This one up
holds the Roosevelt-Pinchot con
tention regarding the rights of
the federal government in water
power cases. The decision wa»
rendered in what is known as
the Chandler-Dunbarcase, where
whew the government condemn
ed vor public use the property of
the corporation, the company
sought to recover a sum in lien
of its possible earnings from the
water power as wi^Il as pay for
the land condemned. The lower
court gave the company $55,000
on this contention, but the
Supreme Court has now reversed
that finding in a decision which
goes to the root of the whole'
matter and settles finally what
may be done, It is a striking
fact that in every case [nvolvin-
ing the contentions of the Roose
velt administration on conserm-;
tion questions which the Supreme’
Court has decided thus far, that
administration has been upheld.
The Roosevelt administration
made many new applications of
Roosevelt contention that neither
the private owner of lands
through which runs a navigable
sti«a.m, nor the State which owns
itis bed, can control the use of
stream for w^er power or etny
other uses affecting navigation.
This decision will end the States
Rights contention of the water
power grabbers and make it pos
sible for the Federal Government
to take the steps necessary to
protect the property of the peo
ple.
Taken in connection with the
recent decision in the White Slave
ease, which directly supports
the Roosevelt theory of the right
of the Government to promote
the general welfare, it marks a
great advance in the long fight
for conservation. It is the lat
est, but doubtless not the last,
of the unbroken series of decis
ion by the Supreme Court of the
United States sustaining the
Roosevelt way of using the law
to help the people.
UOUOR FOUND IN BARN
Durham, N. C., Jan. 6. —Mr.
N, H. Fleming, a farmer living
at Stagville, was greatly surpris
ed night before last when he
went to his barn for a farming
existing laws of the course of its implement and found the door to
eifoi ts to protect the public in
terestagainst the encroachments
of land and timber grabbers and
other opponents of conservation,
These new applications of the
law were made partly because
Congress refused to pass, the
l$ws that were needed to safe
guard the property of the p^ple
partly because full use had not
previously been made of laws al
ready on the statute books. Thus
the law vi^hich regulated the sale
of coal lands provided that these
lands should be sold for ' 'not less
than” a fixed price per acre,
which was far iess than most of
them were worth. But the law
did not say that the price should
be limited to the least that could
be charged, although that was
the^ practice until Roosevelt
changed it. What he did was to
find out what the public coal
lands were actually worth, and
make the men who bought them
the barn safely locked with a
brand new lock. However, his
natural supposition was that the
boss of the chain gang who had
been using part of the barn for
a cement storage house had at»
tacked lock to keep anyone
from stealing the cement. Con
sequently he looked up the man
in question and asked him the
reason for locking his barn. The
chain gang boss knew nothing
whatever about the lock and
stated that he had neither put it
on the door nor ordered it put
on. Accordingly the two men
went to the barn together and
proceeded to break the lock off.
After doing this they went on
the inside of the barn and saw
smiling up at them two three
gallon jugs and a smell of block
ade liquor prevailing on the coun- i
try air. An investigation was
made andthe two men found that
someone had placed five gallons
pay a reasonable price for what i of blockade liquor in the barn,

they got,^ Thereupon he was
charged by these men with ex
ecutive usurpation, illegality and
disregai'd of the constitution.
In most "cases the men who
made such charges did nothing
but talk. In some cases, how
ever, suits were brought to break
down the new interpretation of
the law, and effect a return to
the old plan under which the
private interests uniformly got
the better of the public. These
suits have worked their, way
through the courts, and one by
one they have brought about a
final decision upon the legality of
the Roo?!evelt position. From
first to last the Roosevelt posi
tion has been sustained in every
decision of every'court of last re
sort. It is a most ■ remarkable
record.
The Roosevelt i, dministration
made the stockmen andthe wa
ter power men in the national
forests pay the government for
what they got. The Supre ne
Court has since declared that it
was right v^’hen it did so.
The Roosevelt admii i .tration
asserted, that no claimant to
public land had any vested right
in it until he got his patent. The
Supreme Court has decide^ that
it was right.
The Roosevelt administration
made regulation under the law
government Indian lands, coal
lands and the national forests.
The right to do so was attacked,
among' others, by tlie State of
Colorado, but the Supreme Court
has sustained the Roosevelt posi
tion.
The Roosevelt administration
put forth the theory that the
President is the Steward of the
Public Welfare, and must do
everything necessary to promote
that welfare that is not actually
forbidden by law: This'theory
was bitterly fought by all man
ner of men v^rho had got rich, or
who desired to get rich, at the
public expense, and by reec-
tionaries like Taft, but the
Supreme Court has since sustain
ed it. .
The Reclamation Act was*^ at
tacked and sustained. This
guardianship of the Federal Gov
ernment over the persons, pro
perly and rights of the Indians
was attacked by the* Democrats
of Oklahoma and sustained. The
right of tBe President to make
withdrawls of public lands, ques
tioned by President Taft after it
had been exercised by President
after which the new lock was
placed on the door.
Sheriff J. F. Howard was
notified of the whole procedure
by Mr. Fleming and he wen out
to Stagville this morning otobtain
the liquor. The liquor was there
all right and the good natiired
sheriff after trying in vain to
prove who the liquor belonged to
i’eturned with it to the city. The
amount of Hquor was the great
est of plenty for a case of search
and seizure, but unMke other
instances, the officer was unable
to seize a prisoner along with,
the liquor. '
Evidently someone who knew
not what to do with his liquor
placed it in the barn then'locked
the door for security. However
the lock by no means guaranteed
safety, as the liquor is now under
a bai ter lock and in a more safe
place than the owner could have
Ijossibly found. There were no
clues left along with the liquor
as to the identity of the owner,
although certain parties are un
der suspicion. There are not
enough of the liquor to make the
owner come up and claim it and
consequently it is not! likely that
the liquor will ever ^be turned
over to anyone, as it now appeals
as if the only thing that can be
done is to pour it into the sewer
behind the county jail.
