acythlag over which tbe goverarseat
has ccatrol satll It Is kaowa detaJte-
ly that the ladliidaal sute lateads
to make proper use cf it.
The lastaat that tbe aarae of a eer-
tala governor of a northwesters state
was aieatloaed to the presideat-eleet
as proper man for the positloa of
secretary of the interior Mr Wilson
paid high compliment to the geaeral
character of the man proposed. This
man is knows as a state rights coa-
(erTatlonist aad the fedf -si coaaer-
vatlonlsts say this means taat be ts
a bitter opponent of aay federal plaa
for saving to the people their aatural
inheritance.' One of the roost promi-
nent conservationists in the country
said of this possible choice of the
nortbwesterner for the cablaet posi-
tion "His appointment would be
ideally eviL" These things show bow
wide is tbe difference between the
leaders of the two foreea.
Bryan Federalist In Thla.
Tbe conservationists bop that
William Jennings Bryan will be made
a member of the next cabinet As to
tbe methods of saving the country's
natural resources. Mr. Bryan and Mr.
Wilson do not agree. In this matter
Mr Bryan may be called a federalist
and It Is the one chief matter of gov-
ernment policy in which so far as Is
known at present his views differ
greatly from those of the incoming
president The conservationists be
lieve that Mr. Bryan would use bis
influence to keep the water power
the mines and tbe forests out of the
bands of private corporations to be
exploited largely for tbelr own bene-
fit Protests are coming into Washing-
ton dally from Individuals and from
societies all over the United 8tates
against the granting of the right to a
private Alabama corporation to build
a water power dam on the Coosa river
In Alabama to be used. It is claimed
without proper federal regulation.
The Coosa dam matter promises to
be as prominent in the conservation
fight as was the proposed James riv-
er Mo. dam of some years ago. In
the Missouri matter President Roose-
velt Intervened with a veto.
The Democratic leaders who own
Alabama as a home it Is said are In
favor of giving tbe private corpora-
tion what it asks In the state. This
means tbat the fight of the conserva-
tionists must be directed against a
concern wblcb has with It tbe Influ-
ence of men high in the Democratic
party's councils who will be chiefly
Instrumental ic framing Democratic
legislation In the house of representa-
tives and who hold they are absolute-
ly right In the matter in hand.
May Buy Out Express Companies.
Preparations are being made by
friends of the parcel post sys-
tem to attempt through congres-
sional action to secure legislation for
tbe purchase of the express companies
and to sive Uncle Bam a virtual mo-
nopoly of the package carrying busi-
ness. This plan has thousands of op-
ponents and It r..ay never come to
the fruition but those opposed to
the scheme may as well taow definite-
ly now that tbe friends of the pro-
posal are going to work persistently
to secure the end which they have
In view.
It Is eTt-a possible that the present
administration of the postoface de-
partment may urge what can be call-
ed government ownership of the ex-
press business Tbe attempt which Is
to be made to extend tbe parcel post
business is only to a degree a party
measure. It B possible that more
Democrats than Republicans favor it
but some of the strongest adrnpstes n'
the proposal are Republicans who 00
aattara Wa called tea
sssnaavea.

A bill already has been prepared
aad latrodsced lato congress by Itep-
resestatlTe Lewis cf Marylaad and
Represestative Goeke of Ohio looking
to the ultirsate taking over of the ex-
preas conpaaies by the Baited States
goversatat Now it would be per-
fectly pot fible for the government un-
der the clause la the law which al-
ready has been quoted gradually to
extead the parcel post until the field
of tbe express companies bad been so
Intruded upon that they might be
forced out of business without any re-
coapease. It seems therefore to bo
the latestios of the proponents of
roverameat ownership to take anoth-
er coarse aad to propose that the ex-
press companies' business be taken
over aad that they be paid a fair
sum for what they give up and that
the stcckholders shall be reimbursed
for tbelr Investments.
It seems likely that If congresB
ihr'.l listen attentive!; to tha propos-
al for the taking over of the express
companies' business dollar for dollar
will bt paid for all the valuable rights
and properties tbat are received after
a properly constituted board has de-
cided the matter it may be and per-
haps will be tbat years will elapse be-
fore the sentiment of congress will
allow the government to enter Into the
express business wholesale. Perhaps
the day of such a proceeding never
will come bet the plans are laid to
make th' attempt and the proposal
has perhaps as many friends as p-
ponenta in the two bouses of con-
press aa they are at present consti-
tuted. Useless Tariff Hearings.
Representative Oscar W. Under
wood and his Democratic colleagues
forming a majority of the ways
and means committee already have
heard the pleas and the protests
on chemicals on earthenware glass-
ware metals and a host of other
things and they will go on hearing
"the fors" and "the againsta" on other
imports until the last day of this
month and then they will prepare tar-
iff revision measures in virtually the
same form as those made ready at
the last session.
It Is probably true that the repre-
sentatives of high protection who are
now In Waahtngton to be heard by
the ways and means committee fully
realize that their pleas will be of no
service for they made the same picas
at the last session and then the com-
mittee went ahead and wrote such
bills as seemed right from the Demo-
cratic standpoint and this la exactly
what Is going to be done at the extra
session. Tbe hearings have been
granted for the purpose of giving ev-
erybody a chance to say what ho
chooses and to allow no opportunity
for anyone to complain when tho bills
are presented thnt only one sldo nf
the case was heard.
No "Cut to the Bone."
As haa been Raid before "tho Demo-
crats are not going to cut tho tariff to
the bone." This much In assured and
no one here seems to bo particularly
scared over the result to business
when the new laws shall come Into
force. The high protectionists through
their representatives predict disaster
but few of the members of congress
seemingly believe tho predictions. At
any rate the Washington legislators
of the protection ranks nre preserving
a remsrhable equanimity If thoy think
that the preclpico Is Just ahead nnd
that business soon Is to break Its
bones at the bottom of tho abyss.
The tariff hearings In tho housn
committee on wnys nnd means will
end on- Friday January 31. If Mr
Wilson shall call congress togethnr
in extra session on March 16 Mr
Underwood and his comrades will
have six weeks' tlmo In which to pre-
pare their tariff bills If It woro not
for the clerical work Involved tho
thing could be done In a wook for a
secure copying guide Is to be found
in ..... r. (n t hin. wnch went
