It affords The Tribune great pleas
ure to introduce Miss Johnson to its
readers and publish something of her
life and work before coming to Idaho.
Miss Johnson has been for many
years an earnest and sincere student
of music. As a child, she showed
unusual aptitude for music and at an
early age her musical education was
begun under the instruction of her
sister a promising student In the
hiladelphia acàdemy.
Miss Johnson's heme life had much
do with directing her interest to
music. Her father being singing
angelist with Dr. Wishard; her un
cle the composer of one of our famous
old hymns; her neice a famous whist
ler in St. Louis; her sister an able
usician and teacher; four brothers,
all of whom were home musicians, so
that it is no wonder that Miss John
son's musical education has been very
extended. It is interesting to note
here in connection with Miss John
son's family that her ancestors came
over in the Mayflower. She is
descendent of Peregrine White on her
mother's side and her family possess
Johnson coat of arms, which was
presented to an ancestor by King
James for bravery.
After a childhood spent in Pennsyl
vania, Miss Johnson went to Cleveland
where she continued her study of
music. She also studied during these
ears at Oberlin Conservatory of Mu
sic and at the Chicago Musical Col
lege.
After this her father's evangelical
work calling him to St. Louis, she
went there and continued her study of
music under Mrs. Newlands, for many
ears the most prominent teacher of
tcchnic in St. Louis. It was from Mrs
Newlands that Miss Johnson gained
her first knowledge of the Raif method
of teaching, over which she was very
enthusiastic, so much so that she went
to study with Professor F. J. Benedict
now of Brooklyn, New York, who had
studied personally with Oscar Raif of
Berlin and who is now noted in musi
cal circles as a teacher and pianist and
for his contributions to musical liter
ature.
She continued her Raif work with
Miss Laura Shafer, who teaches In St.
Louis with Miss Miller. They are both
pupils of Oscar Raif and distinguished
ensemble pianists.
Miss Johnson has taught very suc
cessfully for two years in the piano
department at Oswego College in Kan
sas; afterwards for four years in
Franklin Academy, Franklin, Nebr.
She has also taught private classes
both In St. Louis and Meadvllle, Mis
souri. Following are a few words
from the press and from the schools
where she has taught.
Miss Johnson's piano class has
again delighted the music • lovers of
our town with one of its interesting
programs. The pleasant event took
place at the Congregational church
Tuesday afternoon, and was
marked by the same distinction of
tone which characterized these occas
ions in the past.
The work of six pupils, including
Miss Frances Block, who very recently
so triumphantly celebrated the com
pletion of her course under Miss John
son's instruction was exhibited.
As a fitting close for the charming
afternoon Miss Johnson enraptured
her hearers by her Interpretation of
the two exquisite compositions "The
Linden Tree" (Schubert Seizt) and
Mendelsshon's "Spinning Song."
While we are still lost in the melt
ing harmonies she evoked, the last
note died away and we found that the
7th Pupil Recital was done.
And as we turned toward our homes
we were fain to reflect that while we
Powder plants—Twin Falls, 25 per
these recitals had given us, only the
future could estimate the aesthetic
impetus, the intellectual and spritual
uplift which Miss Johnson's seven
years of musical effort has given to
Meadville.—Meadvllle Times.
Resolved, That we, the board of
trustees of Franklin Academy, regret
tally part with the valued services of
Miss Grace Johnson, as instructor in
the department of music in the acad
emy. Her work and influence has
been of the highest order and such
as to merit the heartiest approval and
esteem of all.
It is a pleasure for us to give ex
pression to our recognition of her
faithfulness and ability in the work of
her department and we also cordially
approve of the relation she has sus
tained to the larger interests of the
school and community. She has won
a place for herself in both these re
spects that is greatly to her credit.
We wish for her and confidently ex
pect of her the highest success in
her future course of musical study.
We cordially recomemnd her to the
most Implicit confidence and unre
served esteem of any among whom her
lot may be cast.

OWER TRUST
DOES NOT EXIST
The dispatches indicate that Presi
dent Taft is taking soothing interest
in the conflict between Mr. Ballinger
the secretary of the interior, and Mr.
Pinchot, chief of the forestry bureau,
it appears that the Immediate cause of
the iriction between the two as devel
oped in the irrigation congress at Spo
ntane, was the difference of opinion
with respect to the appropi'iatlon and
use of water power sites. Under the i
Roosevelt administration Mr. Pinchot
was able to carry things with a high
hand, and to do pretty much as he
liked whether there was law for it or
not, and under loose liberty thus ac
corded, he did many things contrary
law. When Secretary Bailinger
came into office he found a number of
illegal orders in force which undertook
to withdraw from public entry large
areas of public land. A good many of
Lhese withdrawals had been made un
der the pretense that these water
rights were to be reserved for the use
of the people, corporations and com
bines being by executive order de
prived of the opportunity to acquire
them.
The cancellation of these orders, on
the attorney general declaring them to
be void under the law, made Pinchot
wild, and he undertook to use the ir
ation congress as a means of vent
ing his rage upon the-secretary of the
interior. The general situation is quite
fairly stated in the following editorial
trout the Chicago Tribune of August
13th:
Mr. Gifford Pinchot says the Taft
administration is solemnly pledged to
the support of the Roosevelt policies.
That is true, but it is not obliged to
adhere to the Roosevelt methods ox
carrying them out when there are
available what it considers better
methods. If the last administration
made any mistakes in its method of
carrying out wholesome policies this
administration is not bound to stand
by them.
"The question which chiefly con
cerns the public in the event of a
change of methods, if there be one, will
be whether it will affect harmfully
the interests of the people. If not,
there is little to complain of. So if
the cancellation by ttje present secre
tary of the interior of withdrawing
orders of public lands made by his
predecessor shall not result in the
acquisition by a water power trust of
sites which it would not otherwise
have been able to get hold of, there
would be nothing to which exception
could properly be taken.
"If certain withdrawal orders of
Secretary Garfield were illegal, as the
attorney general says they were, they
ought to be rescinded. It is true, as
Mr. Pinchot sayB, that the laws should
not have all the virtue squeezed out
of them by rigid construction, but the
other extreme should also be avoided.
Manifest violence should not be done
to a law, even to promote a good
policy.
"It is not the function of the execu
tive department to .egislate. If it shall
tind that existing laws do not pro
mote fully the interests of the people,
it should ask congress for laws that
will protect them. The acting com
missioner of the general land office
saj?s that no rights to exploit water
powers have been granted to individ
uals or corporations since the present
secretary of the interior came into of
fice and that all entries covering water
power sites are being held up to await
the action of congress. Then it is to
congress that those who wish to pre
serve the sites for the people should
address themselves. There should be
no delay about enacting the needed
legislation."
The notion that there could be any
such thing formed as a water power
trust, covering the thousands of
steams of the United States seems
too ridiculous for practical considera
tion; but that President Roosevelt
had some such notion in mind is evi
dent from his veto of two bills passed
by congress, one of which related to a
river on the Canadian border which
President Roosevelt vetoed and soon
after found he had made a serious mis
take, and asked congress to re-enact
the bill so that he could sign It; this
congress declined to do; It also re
fused to reopen the question when he
vetoed a bill covering water rights on
a stream In Missouri. The veto
aroused thorough contempt in con
gress, being so evidently exercised In
utter ignorance of the law and the
facts.
The whole idea upon which Presi
dent Roosevelt and Chief Forester
Pinchot proceeded was a curious sort
of delusion, but if It had been a prac
ticable, workable proposition that they
were trying to get at, surely they
oould not reasonably expect to carry
out their plans by mere executive or
ders that had no support In (he luw.
But (he idea Is a mere sentimental
one, being a bugaboo not In tlio least
to 1 )0 feared, and "-hen this is con
sidered In connectlj i with the lack of
