THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Clergymen On Mob Violence Colered Ministers Issue Strong Protest Against Lynching Lawlessness in Various Forms and in almost all Parts of the United States has Stirred our People to Action. VOL. XVI. Clergym Mob Colered Ministers Issue Strong Lawlessness in Various For of the United States has S One of the most enjoyable events of last week was the surprise party given by Mrs. J. L. Burnett at her beautiful residence, 3912 Larimer street, in honor of Willie Lee Henderson, son of Mrs. L. Henderson. Sixteen of his friends were invited to enjoy the hospitality of Mrs. Burnett. Willie left Monday to attend school in Dallas, Tex. B. Murry returned home last week from an enjoyable visit to Washington, D. C. The Colored Ministers' union of Washington, of which the Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron is a prime factor, in prefacing its appeal to the people of the United States to do all in their power to stop mob violence and the lynching of human beings proceeds as follows: "To God, the executive head of the nation and the American people we make this appeal as descendants of citizens who were, even in bondage, warm friends of the southern white people and who until half a century ago made history for others, but none for themselves. Since then we have striven against race antipathy and the stigma of previous condition, and we have rapidly improved in literacy, morals and economic status. "We have bought land, built homes and established churches, but such states as desire to do so go on disfranchising us, lynching our men on frivolous charges and unproved allegations and widening the chasm which race differentiation has made broad enough. When progress does not promise to save a people, that people is near unto desperation. "But let us appeal to the best instincts of men as long as reason has a chance and argument a hearing. While the brotherhood of man is a doctrine of our religion, we must have faith to believe that this world can be made better and ultimately set right. There is no wrong that cannot be put away by good men determined to do it. "It is pitiable to note that the white man, who makes laws for men of other races to live under, has not succeeded in ruling according to the laws he has made, nor has he the courage and fairness to punish himself for the greatest crime against the state which he has ordained, the crime of lynching. We believe in democracy, which we interpret to mean government by suffrage and protection by law. The mission of the law is justice at any price to every man. Now, justice is God's arbiter for humanity, not for any one race or nation, but for the human race. Humane treatment, establishing the guilt of evil-doers, as a part of justice is absolutely necessary. We urge in favor of political and judicial fairness for our people their historic relations to the progress of our country. Traditions of beautiful sentiments and unparalleled fidelity ought to be enough to give our fathers a wreath of honor and to secure for us, their descendants, a place as men and citizens on equal terms with other men. Negro brawn and adaptability did much to make the south prosperous and beautiful and happy. We are alarmed that out of the wrong so generally acknowledged, the national sin of lynching and mob rule, no voice rings out sufficiently clear to check the mad career of the lawless who murder innocents whom the law has promised to protect. We ask the sympathetic consideration of the president of the United States, the judges of the supreme court, the governors of states, the officials of law, the pulpit and press and fair-minded people everywhere to the end that lynching and mob rule and race riots may be driven from the American commonwealth. We earnestly ask that this government, which has shown its sympathy with the weak of foreign nations by sending an army to Cuba, by joining with the powers in settling the Boxer movement in China, by suggesting that honor had been satisfied to Russia and Japan, that is in sympathy with Russian Jews and Armenians in their suffering, that has often protected an individual abroad in the name of humanity—we insist that this government shall protect its weak at home as well as abroad. We commend every brave man who has in the past or present in the north or south, in the east or west, spoken out boldly for justice, law and right. We make this appeal to the reason of all true Americans. We invoke the good offices of blindfolded justice, which has no respect of persons. We appeal to the home-loving instinct of the real American—descendants of Saxons, Teutons and Celts, whose motto is "A man's home is his castle," to espouse the cause of law for all alike. We appeal to the love that gave birth to the Golden Rule that lives in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and in the justice of the constitution of the United States. TUSKEGEE'S MILLION. Booker T. Washington has been striving for many years to raise the endowment fund of his famous institute to three million dollars. By the gift of $600,000 from Andrew Carnegie a few years ago the endowment was placed at over a million and recent benefactions have raised it to over $1,600,000. At the death of Mrs. Flora L. Dotger, widow of Andrew J. Dotger, of East Orange, N. J., Tuskegee was bequeathed the residue of her estate after $60,000 is given to other institutions, and $200,000 to relatives. The bequest to Tuskegee should, it is stated, be between three-quarters and one million dollars. This will raise the total endowment of Tuskegee to approximately $2,500,000, leaving but $500,000 to be raised to complete the desired amount. This, the largest gift in the history of Tuskegee, will be of a great double value. It will enable Dr. Washington to relax from his constitution-racking struggle of a quarter of a century to place his race's monster uplift plant upon a safe and stable basis. He should therefore soon be able to devote more largely his masterful constructive ability to the uplift of his people in the wider fields represented by the National Negro Farmers' Conference and the National Negro Business League. Further, this most recent benefaction will enable Tuskegee to widen the scope and increase the size of its plant. Students have been turned away and much needed equipment has not been secured by reason of Tuskegee's lack of funds. Coming at this time the great gift of the Dotger estate will be nothing short of a boon to Tuskegee and all that it stands for.—New York Age. PYTHIANS MAKING PROGRESS. New Orleans, La., August 29. The quarterly report of the Knights of Phythias of Louisiana, S. W. Green, Grand Chancellor, has just been published. It shows the order to be in a satisfactory condition, and the payments on the magnificent temple at the corner of Gravier and Saratoga streets, to have been promptly met. Progress has been made on all sides as regards both new members and collections. The report snows the quarterly receipts to have been $20,457.14 and the disbursements $12,151.23, leaving a balance of $8,305.91. The assets of the Grand Lodge are $209,958.59, divided as follows: Cash, $8,305.91; real estate $15,135; and investment on the Pythian Temple of $186,517.68. Mr. Green was recent,y re-elected Grand Chancellor by acclamation. W. P. PERKINS' INVENTION W. P. Perkins of Willis, Texas, is in the city for a few days looking forward to the sale of his pat- ent on railroad rails. Mr. Perkins' invention does away with the bolting at the ends of rails, a groove system whereby one rail overlaps another, giving the entire track a look of continuity. The inventor claims strength owing to the simplicity and economy because it is possible to reverse the rail when worn too much on the side that receives the greater pressure. Those in position to know think he has a good thing. Freeman. UNCLE SAM AND LIBERIA Evidently France views with alarm the move being made by the United States to put the Liberian republic on a firm financial basis and for Uncle Sam to take charge of her customs while it is being done. That European power thinks the United States is seeking territory in the far East that means sooner or later a wholesale territory grabbing in the black continent, a perogative heretofore considered for European powers exclusively. But the United States has no intention of land grabbing in Africa. She has already more foreign territory than she can gracefully take care of. But if she succeeds in planting a properous republic in Africa controlled by black men of American birth or their descendants, it might mean that the corner stone of a black republic would be laid, which sooner or later, combined with the natives, would control the greater part of the African continent. Let Miss France with her frocks and frills not become excited over a friendly act to a struggling republic because she will not have an opportunity to grab the republic of Liberia.—Seattle Republican. FALSE APPEALS FOR RACE SYMA PATHY The cry of "Race Sympathy" is being invoked nowadays by some men who are not deserving of it. If a colored officeholder holds an office for a number of years and never opens his mouth nor lifts his pen in defense of his race during all the tenure of his office-holding, certainly such a one is not entitled to race sympathy. The only time that race love can be stirred in some Negro officeholders is when they are about to lose their jobs. Then they get busy and get up a great howl asking for "race sympathy." But the colored people are becoming wiser as the years go by and these cries are going unheeded as they deservedly should. There are some colored men holding office of whom we never hear a word until their own personal interests are at stake. As long as they are allowed to draw their big salaries they are content to live in their snug and selfish contentedness, but as son as their jobs become endangered they want to pose as race martyrts. Race martyrs would never stoop to such selfish practices. When such selfish men get in a "hole" let them get out as best they can. They should not receive one whit of race sympathy. Washington-American. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Wm. Francis of St. Paul, Minn., is chief operator of the Northern Pacific Ry. This is a responsible position and only the most competent are eligible to such a position, Austin, Texas, August 29. There is some liklihood of the two factions of the United Brothers of Friendship laying aside their differences and getting together at the session soon to be held in this city. It is said that both the Gaines and the Farmer followers are anxious to reach an amicable agreement. Baltimore, August 31.—The bourbons here are up in arms about colored families buying property in hitherto exclusive white neighborhoods, Some, red-hot at the advance suggest the enactment of legislation to prevent colored people securing homes in white neighborhoods. West Chester, Pa., Aug., 29. For the first time since it was opened twenty years ago, Lenape Park on the Brandywine, West Chester's popular resort, was thrown open to the colored people last Thursday and they flocked there by hundreds, the occasion being the big annual picnic of the Sunday schools of this place. In the Register a few days ago appeared the following statement from the office of the governor of Mississippi: Racial problems are serious enough without being aroused by false and alarming reports. The Mississippi Negroes, considering their number, are most law-abiding and civil set of Negroes in America. Over one-tenth of all in the United States are in Mississippi, and not one-hundredth part of the crimes committed by Negroes are perpetrated in Mississippi. Lawyer A. L. Bowman has filed suit against the Florida East Coast railway for $5,000 in favor of Rev. E. Robert Bennett, who held a round trip ticket from Jacksonville Fla., to Manhattan Beach, and the passenger train ran by the station and would not stop, thus leaving him there in the woods and with the mosquitoes. This is the second colored lawyer of Jacksonville who is suing large corporations for large sums of money in favor of colored persons. Baltimore, Md., Sept.—The desire of a white family to bury a colored servant, who, by the way, is not dead, nearly caused a split in a white Episcopal church. The colored man is 65 years old, and is hale and hearty and his employers sought to reward his faithfulness by burying him in their lot. The protest was so strong that the white family released the vestry of the church from their agreement to allow the interment of the remains there. Adolphus C. Harris, real estate broker of Chicago, speaks in glowing terms of his city and the buying of property and advancement of business in the windy city. "The pepple of Chicago are saving money and putting it into good property. They are not buying so much in colonies, but are scattering throughout Chicago. A few days ago I closed a deal with one of my race evolving $19,000. One thrifty fellow could value $150,000 for his real estate holdings. His best property is estimated at $40,000. Theodore L. Arthur, who keeps a livery stable at 2216 Church avenue, Brooklyn, and owns a house at 2515 Church avenue, has advertised the place for sent, stating that Negroes are desired. He says he used to get $45 a month for the place from white people, but is willing to rent it to a Negro for $30 a month. He declares the white tenents do not pay their rent, but that he has no trouble in collecting from Negroes. A nearby house, occupied by Negroes, is also owned by Arthur. City Councilman Thomas W. Fleming, of Cleveland, Ohio, was elected as a member of the Ohio Republican State Executive Committee, at a meeting of the State Central Committee, held in Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday, Aug. 25. This is Mr. Fleming's third term as a member of the Committee, he having succeeded George A. Myers of Cleveland, on the Committee in 1906. Mr. Fleming is the leading colored politician in Ohio, and was he first Negro to be elected to the City Council in Cleveland, he being elected last fall. Forty-two members constitute the committee. ```markdown ``` East Turne 2132-2148 .ARAPAH Phone 2449.

WESTERN. Cattle on the ranges in Pecos county, West Texas, are dying by the thousand as a result of the long continued drought which has prevailed in that part of the state during the summer months. A man who fought his way to ex-President Roosevelt and called him a "liar!" gave a bad scare Monday to the crowd at Island Park, Fargo, N. D. Col. Roosevelt helped to eject him from the platform. A disease that recently broke out at Radersburg, Mont., resulting in the death of two persons, the illness of several others and the paralysis of all those afflicted, is believed by Helena physicians to be poliomelitis. Martin Beckins, a candidate for the California state Senate, a Christian Scientist, has been arrested for cruelty in trying the methods of his cult on a sick horse, which afterward died. He had hired a science practitioner. Forest fires that have been raging for a week in a half dozen different sections of the Black Hills national forest, are now believed to be well under control, but owing to the dry condition at this time new fires may be expected all this month and well along through the fall. John S. Parry of San Francisco was elected vice president of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, defeating John E. Cline of Cleveland by more than 400 votes at the annual convention held in St. Louis. Thomas F. Grady of New York, automatically advances from vice president to president under the constitution of the order. At San Francisco, with twenty of the leading surgeons of the city as acute observers, Dr. P. K. Gilman, discoverer of a cure, through the use of vaccine, for cancer, Saturday performed the first operation in this country in his campaign for the systematic imparting of the priceless boon to humanity. A meteor estimated to have been at least 100 feet in diameter sailed across the Willamette valley shortly after noon Monday and is believed to have plunged into the earth west of McMinnville, Yamhill county, Oregon. It was seen by a number of persons in Portland and by the postmaster at Mount Angel, thirty-two miles distant, and also by several persons at Salem, forty miles from Portland. The town of Fairbanks, 500 miles west of El Paso, in Arizona, was visited by a heavy flood Wednesday and the people fled to save their lives. The San Pedro river was out of its banks and swept the entire valley for twenty miles. Requiring no other evidence than a small advertisement clipped from a newspaper, the Columbia river conference of the Methodist Episcopal church at Spokane removed Charles H. Porter of Portland from the ministry. Porter, who was listed as a supernumerary preacher, advertised as a "chiro-practic, spineologist and specialist in female diseases." The conference read the advertisement and acted unninously. GENERAL The National Association of Mexican War Veterans "adjourned forever!" at the close of its final convention last Tuesday. The twenty-eight survivors were none of them under 79. Frank Stahoff, aged 40, was electrocuted at St. Louis Sunday by stepping on a live wire which was blown down during the storm of Saturday night. Further reports of the storm show a great loss of property and additional names to the lonest list of injured. Mrs. Andrew Brandenberger, 60 years old, in St. Louis, Sunday afternoon swam in the Mississippi river, unaided, from the eastern end of the Eads bridge to the landing float in the rear of the Century Boat Club, almost ten miles. Evidently she can swim like sixty. The Pennsylvania railroad is about to experiment with a gasoline car of a new and freakish type. On its trip to Philadelphia the car made as high as $59\frac{1}{2}$ miles an hour. Its average rate was 42 miles. Mrs. Providencia Mascagni of Beltimore, who was removed to quarantine last May suffering from leprosy, has improved to such an extent, according to a report by Thomas L. Richardson, quarantine physician, that she may be completely cured by Christmas. A passenger train on the Illinois Central railroad left the track one-half mile east of Council Hill station, Ill., Monday morning and crashed into the rockbound side of the track, smashing the engine, throwing four coaches from the track, demolishing the mail and baggage cars. Engineer Frank Tucker was killed by being crushed. Won. Lost. Pct.

His best time was five and one-quarter miles in 6 minutes and 1 second. Arthur Mitchell, in his attempt to beat Armstrong's ten-mile record of 9 minutes 13 2-5 seconds, rode the distance in 9 minutes 3 1-5 seconds, riding a mile in 52 4-5 seconds, five miles in 4 minutes 31 seconds, both world's motorcycle records for a dirt track. POLITICAL. Without a single negative vote on any question that came before the convention, the progressive wing of the Republican party took over the organization management Tuesday at the San Francisco convention. The doctrine of "new Nationalism" was set forth still more clearly by Roosevelt in his speech Tuesday before the National Conservation Congress. He declared for government control of the country's natural resources and in doing so placed himself directly against the advocates of "State Rights." Lieut. Gov. John A. Mead of Rutland, a retired physician and prominent business man, was elected governor of Vermont by the Republicans in the state election Tuesday by a plurality of about 17,000. Republicans elected the rest of the state ticket and both of their congressmen, but the Democrats made gains in the Legislature. The Republican plurality was the smallest with two exceptions, since 1870. One effect of Colonel Roosevelt's speech in criticism of certain decisions of the Supreme Court has been to encourage the friends of Associate Justice Harlan to hope that the ex-President may urge upon President Taft his appointment to the vacant post of chief justice. Justice Harlan alone dissented from the decision of the court in the famous Knight case, which was made even more renowned by the criticisms heaped upon it by Colonel Roosevelt. Senator Robert M. La Follette, in the contest for re-nomination on the Republican ticket, swept the state of Wisconsin Tuesday by a veritable landslide. A progressive victory featured New Hampshire's first statewide primaries, State Senator Robert P. Bass of Peterboro being nominated. Senator Julius C. Burrows of Kalamazoo, Mich., was defeated for renomination in the primary elections. Senator Burrows served eighteen years in the lower house of Congress and fifteen years in the Senate. WASHINGTON. President Taft has become convinced that much unreserved public timber land in Colorado, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana should be added to the forest reserves of these states, though it cannot be done by presidential proclamation under existing laws. Washington.—With an increase of $3,273,325 in the public debt and a total deficit of $17,371,468.08, the United States Treasury closed the second month of the fiscal year, keeping on an ev. n. keel, all circumstances considered, with a working balance of $30,826,057.23 on hand and the general fund down to $89,523,207.59. The increase in public debt, which is a complete turnover of $4,000,000 in round numbers from the month of July, is due largely to an excess of national bank deposits over redemptions. President Taft in his St. Paul speech made answer to the recent agitation for a "new nationalism," or a federal centralization of power, by declaring that the only safe course to pursue was to hold fast to the limitations of the constitution and to regard as sacred the power of the states. Mr. Taft, amid applause, made frequent references to the services of Theodore Roosevelt in the cause of conservation, but he declared that the time for rhapsodies and glittering generalities had passed. He suggested to the congress that it should invite its speakers to come down to details, to specific evils and to specific remedies. FOREIGN. Hamilton Smith of the Mormon church says that President Diaz has assured the church that polygamy will be permitted if they come there; also that his people will abandon Utah. German naval designers are at work on a small type of battleship which the Vorwaerts learns is expected to put the great Dreadnaughts into the obsolete class. The new vessels will be lightly armed and very speedy. A strong movement in protest against the high prices of meat has begun in many German cities and especially in the western part of the country. The Italian Supreme Court rendered a judgment affirming the right of the Holy See to sell property without authorization from the government. This decision has created a sensation in art circles. It is feared that art treasures are to be sold, and it is proposed to introduce a bill in Parliament prohibiting the Holy See from disposing of pictures. ST BROS.

Vickery offered for an open campaign this fall to provide for fair and proper representation for the settled choice of what something needs to be done on the part of Republican voters over factional excesses or the party leaders in recent years. Such an effort, for the re-establishment that can be considered fair, the effort to accomplish such allowed to go by default. This county, and perhaps in the old consequent arrogance of part of the management of their party, washing through cut and dried propledged to certain objects or could be a return to first principles, the longer this action is postponed prospects; and the more radical act to reform past errors and with the progressive tendencies of entire nation. It is announced that Chairman Albion K. Vickery of the Republican county committee has declared for an open campaign this fall through open precinct caucuses that shall provide for fair and proper representation and insure a convention that shall represent the settled choice of the voters. He probably feels that something needs to be done to create a general feeling of confidence on the part of Republican voters, who doubtless have suffered discouragement over fictional excesses or the selfish indifference and obstinate policies of party leaders in recent years. The county chairman cannot go too far in such an effort, for the re-establishment of the party's affairs upon a foundation that can be considered fair to all the voters is of first importance, and the effort to accomplish such a result should not be neglected hindered or allowed to go by default. There is a suspicion that Republican defeat in this county, and perhaps in the state, has grown out of the over-confidence and consequent arrogance of party managers. The people want more say in the management of their party, especially in the primaries, and instead of pushing through cut and dried programs and the naming of delegates who are pledged to certain objects or certain candidates, it is vital that there should be a return to first principles, which include a square deal for everybody. The longer this action is postponed, the less promising become the party's prospects; and the more radical the departure and the more sincere the effort to reform past errors and abuses, the sooner the party will get in step with the progressive tendencies that are sweeping on to victory throughout the entire nation. THE PROGRESSIVE IDEA. colonel Theodore Roosevelt to the covered by him, beginning with his y and followed by a more remai at Ossowatamie, Kans., and a seas regarding the course that mediately better and permanent THE coming of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt to the West and the series of great speeches delivered by him, beginning with his exhaustive talk on conservation in this city and followed by a more remarkable address on the John Brown battlefield at Ossowatamie, Kans., and another at Kansas City, Mo., advancing new ideas regarding the course that should be followed by this government to immediately better and permanently protect the business and social conditions which control the comfort and happiness of its vast population, have awakened greater interest than that caused by any other event in recent years. Colonel Rosevelt's wonderful popularity is not a fad that has swept from one part of the world to another, in his wake, in recognition of his past achievements, but his irrepressible activity in the demonstration of a form of progressive statesmanship probably never equaled in this country, compels a recognition on the part of the people that simply cannot be controlled or stemmed by party tradition or organization ethics of any character. Men before him have preached about the vast advantages enjoyed by special interests under the protection of laws passed at their own concealed dictation, but none have quite so clearly brought the direful character of the evil to the clear understanding of the common people and at the same time laid down a course of unswerving remedial direction, intended to restrain the greed of the rich and to secure and conserve the just rights of the commoner and inure to the present and future good of all. This Rooseveltian platform, which is a decided departure from those Republican doctrines enunciated in recent years and at little less variance from Democratic creeds, is regarded as the spirit of progression which has been endeavoring to assert its powers and demands in Republican councils for the last half dozen years. Recognized as its new and greatest exponent, and in great part its author, Colonel Roosevelt is bringing on a revolution in Republican ranks which is not only absorbing the attention of Republicans, but which is also bringing to his standard the declared allegiance of thousands who have heretofore been fighting in other political camps and under other standards. For the past three years The Colorado Statesman has been trying to tell its readers that the Republican party was undergoing fundamental change under which old issues were being entirely obliterated. The crucial period has now arrived, and the acclaim of the people for their new leader is the expression of that popular unrest and patient dissatisfaction in all ranks of the country's population upon which wise and far-seeing statesmen have counted. We have no disposition to stand in the way of this modern spirit, clinging to the shroud of the spirit that is dead or dying, for as the new situation is developed in Colorado, as elsewhere, we shall remember that its enunciated principles cover the needed improvement of the social and political conditions of the colored people in common with other classes of the general population. As might be expected, however, this newly progressive political development has its supposed counterpart in the ranks of Democracy, and the recent recall of Hoke Smith as the Democratic nominee for the governorship of Georgia, on a platform which includes a plank favoring the disfranchisement of Negroes, is called a triumph for alleged progressive Democrats. Inconsistent and unsatisfactory in all of its broader bearings, progressive Democracy will continue far in the rear of Republicanism, and to the whole-hearted American can offer no hope. Conservation of national resources is to be the greater of the new issues, and if it shall include, as Colonel Roosevelt directs, the re-establishment of equal opportunity for all, it will limit the application of its benefits by no narrow horizon of race or class.

ILLUSTRATED SERMON AT CAMP BELL CHAPEL SUNDAY NIGHT. (Subject: The Great Supper.) A certain man made a great supper And sent his servants to announce that everything was ready. And they all began to make excuses One said that "I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it." The second said that "I have bought five yoke of oxen, I must go and prove them." The third said that "I have married me a wife and cannot come." The servants came and showed his Lord these things. Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city. Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come. The supper room is filled. None of those that were invited first shall taste of my supper. Duet, "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." Chorus, "Let Your Lower Lights Be Burning." On Christ the solid rock I stand There is a fountain filled with blood. In order to secure a choice seat you will have to come very early. As this will be the last sermon prior to the annual conference, we naturally look for a crowded house. Every member will be expected to turn in their dollar money if they have not already done so.—W. C. Williams, Pastor. SCOTT'S CHAPEL NOTES. Mrs. Frances E. Williams is on the sick list this week. She is suffering with an attack of lagripe. Revival services commenced Sunday evening with a crowded house and the attendance has been keeping up nicely since. Mrs. Sallie A. Ramsay is a convincing speaker and possesses rare power as an evangelist. Three have been reclaimed already and the revival fires have been kindled among the lukewarm Christians. The meetings will continue the coming week. Come and bring your friends with you and we will do you good. Mr. Fred Brown read a very interesting paper before the Epworth League last Sunday evening. Mr. Towsend made a good talk on taking advantage of present opportunities. Another interesting program is in store for the members and friends Sunday evening. The early Sunday morning prayer meeting was a special feature of the beginning of the revival. It gave tone to all of the services during the day. The prayer meeting will be continued next Sunday morning and if you want to start the Sabbath day right come to this prayer meeting. Members are especially urged to be present and friends will receive a cordial welcome. The weekly class meetings will be Sunday after the morning services during the progress of the special meetings. Members are urged to keep their class dues up during the revival services. The young people of Scott's church are preparing a comedy to be rendered after the termination of the revival services. The play is very funny. You should see it. Watch for the date. The pastor was called to preach the funeral of the late Mrs. Georgie S. Irby at the undertaking parlors of B. R. Ball. Her mother and aunt were present with other friends to hear the last words over her remains. It was a sad funeral as the young woman was just in her prime. Mrs. Elgin is in the city from the Springs on a short visit to Mrs. Mary G. Clinkscale on Tremont. Mrs. Elgin will soon leave for a few months' visit to her old home in Missouri. Mrs. Duke of Mississippi is visiting her niece in this city. She is an active church member in her state and city. She taught the first Bible class for the past two sundays with quite a deal of interest. The Sunday school after a vacatain has taken on new life. We are glad that the hot months of a burning summer have passed and now we have an opportunity to step into a new era of prosperity. Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Wilson are now happily domiciled in their new home on Glenarm Place and Twenty-second. Master Thomas W. Wallace had his first school experience last Wednesday when he attended the Gilpin public school. Wendell wanted to go also. We wish to again remind the sister churches that we are engaged in a grand battle for righteousness and urgently invite them to come over in Macedonia and help us. There will be two services only Sunday, morning and evening preaching. ADLER BROS., MERCHANT TAILORS.

V. A. LITTLEFIELD, Manager TAFT FIRM FRIEND OF CONSERVATION His Address Before St. Paul Congress Leaves No Doubt as to His Position---Country's Duty Plain, He Declares Most Emphatically. St. Paul, Sept. 5.—President Taft's speech here today before the National Conservation congress left his hearers in no doubt as to his position. In substance his address was as follows: Gentlemen of the National Conservation Congress. Conservation as an economic and political term has come to mean the preservation of our natural resources for economical use, so as to secure the greatest good to the greatest number. The danger to the state and to the people at large from the waste and dissipation of our national wealth is not one which quickly impresses itself on the people of the older communities, because its most obvious instances do not occur in their neighborhood, while in the newer parts of the country he asympathy with expansion and development is so strong that the danger is scaffed or ignored. Among scientific men and thoughtful observers, however, the danger has always been present; but it needed some one to bring home the crying need for a remedy of this evil so as to impress itself on the public mind and lead to the formation of public opinion and action by the representatives of the people. Theodore Roosevelt, the last two years of his second administration, and well did he perform it. As president of the United States I have, as it were, inherited this policy, and I rejoice in my heritage. I prize my high opportunity to do all that an executive can do to help a great people realize a great national ambition. For conservation is national. It affects every man of us, every woman, every child. What I can do in the cause I shall do, not as president of a party, but as president of the whole people. Conservation is not a question of politics, or of factions, or of persons. It is a question that affects the vital welfare of all of us of our children and our children's children. I urge that no good can come from failure, to ascribe to those who take part in them, and who are apparently striving worthily in the cause, all proper motives, and unless we judicially consider every measure or method proposed with a view to its effectiveness in achieving our common purpose, and wholly without regard to who proposes it or who will claim the credit for its adoption. The problems are of very great difficulty and call for the calmest consideration and clearest fore sight. Many of the questions presented have phases that are new in this country, and it is possible that in their solution we may have to attempt first one of the then another. What I wish to emphasize, however, is that a satisfactory conclusion can only be reached promptly if we avoid acrimony, imputations of bad faith, and political controversy. The public domain of the government of the United States, including all the cessions from those of the thirteen states that made cessions to the United States and including Alaska, amounted in all to about 1,800,000 acres. Of this there is left as purely government property outside of Alaska something like 700,000,000 acres. Of this the national forest reserves in the United States proper embrace 144,000,000 acres. I will side my discussion under the head of (1) cultural lands; (2) mineral lands--that is, lands containing metalliferous minerals; (3) forest lands; (4) coal lands; (5) oil and gas lands; and (6) phosphate lands. Agricultural Lands. Our land laws for the entry of agricultural lands are now as follows: The original homestead law, with the requirements of residence and cultivation for five years, much more strictly enforced than ever before. The enlarged homestead act, applying to nonirrigable lands only, requiring five years' residence and continuous cultivation of one-fourth of the area. The desert-land act, which requires on the part of the purchaser the ownership of a water right and thorough reclamation of the land by irrigation, and the payment of $1.25 per acre. The donation or Carey act, under which the state selects the land and provides for reclamation and the title vests in the settler who resides upon the land and cultivates it and pays the cost of the reclamation. The national reclamation homestead law, requiring five years' residence and cultivation by the settler on the land irrigated by the government, and payment by him to the government of the cost of the reclamation. The present congress passed a bill of great importance, severing the ownership of coal by the government in the ground from the surface and permitting homestead land which, when perfected, give the settler the right to farm the surface, while the coal beneath the surface is retained in ownership by the government and may be disposed of by it under other laws. There is no crying need for radical reform in the methods of disposing of what are really agricultural lands. The present laws have worked well. The enlarged homestead law has encouraged the successful farming of lands in the semiarid regions. Reclamation By the reclamation act a fund has been created of the proceeds of the public lands of the United States with which to construct works for storing great bodies of water at proper altitudes from which, by a suitable system of canals and ditchs, the water is to be distributed over the arid and subarid lands of the government to be sold to settlers at a price sufficient to cover the costs of the projects are and must be for the improvement of public lands. Incidentally, where private land is also within reach of the water supply, the furnishing at cost or profit of this water to private owners by the government is held by the federal court of appeals not to be a usurpation of power. But certainly this ought not to be done except from plus water supply. The total sum already accumulated in the reclamation fund is $60,273,282.22, and that all but $6,491,955.34 has been expended. It became very clear to congress at its last session, from the statements made by experts, that these projects could not be promptly completed with the balance remaining on hand or with the funds held to account in the near future. We found ourselves there are many settlers who have been led into taking up lands with the hope and understanding of having water furnished in a short time, who are left in a most distressing situation. I recommended to congress that authority be given to the secretary of the interior to issue bonds in anticipation of the assured earnings by the settlers, and the might properly completed, and the settlers might be relieved from their present inconvenience and hardship. In authorizing the issue of these projects, congress lim- tited the application of their proceeds to those projects which a board of army engineers, to be appointed by the president, should examine and determine to be feasible and worthy of completion. The president appointed and soon will make its report. Suggestions have been made that the United States ought to aid in the drainage of swamp lands belonging to the states or private owners, because, if drained, they would be exceedingly valuable for agriculture and contribute to the general welfare by extending the area of cultivation. I deprecate the agitation in favor of such legislation. It is valuable for agriculture and contribute to contribution from its treasury toward enterprises that should be conducted either by private capital or at the instance of the state. In these days there is a disposition to look too much to the federal government for everything. I am liberal in the construction of the Constitution with reference to federal power; but I am firmly convinced that the only safe course for us to pursue is to hold constitutions of the Constitution and to regard as sacred the powers of the states. We have made wonderful progress and at the same time have preserved with judicial exactness the restrictions of the Constitution. There is an easy way in which the Constitution can be violated by congress without judicial inhibition, to-wit, by appropriations from the national treasury for unconstitutional purposes or for constitutional purposes if the time ever comes when our fundamental compact shall be habitually disregarded in this manner. Mineral Lands. By mineral lands I mean those lands bearing metals, or what are called metalliferous minerals. The rules of ownership and disposition of these lands were first fixed by custom in the west, and then were embodied in the law, and they were worked on the land. They were wise and have worked on the land to think it is wise to attempt to change or better them. Forest Lands. Nothing can be more important in the matter of conservation than the treatment of our forest lands. It was probably the ruthless destruction of forests in the older states that first called attention to a halt in the waste of our resources. This was accomplished by authorizing the executive to reserve from entry and set aside public timber lands as national forests. Speaking generally, there has been reserved of the existing forests about seventy per cent. of all the timber lands of the government. Within these forests (in addition to 250,000 acres in Alaska are 192,000 acres of acres, of which 166,000,000 acres are in the United States proper and include within their boundaries something like 22,000,000 acres that belong to the state or to private individuals. We have then, excluding Alaska forests, a total of about 144,000,000 acres of belonged to the state, out of which is being treated in accord with the principles of scientific forestry. The government timber in this country amounts to only one-fourth of all the timber, the rest being in private ownership. Only three per cent. of that which is in private ownership is looked after properly and treated according to modern rules of forestry. The land and constructive costs of forestry are neglected continues in the remainder of the forests owned by private persons and corporations. It is estimated that fire alone destroys $50,000,000 worth of timber a year. The management of forests not on public land is beyond the jurisdiction of the federal government. If anything can be done by law it must be done by the state legislatures. I believe that it is within the constitutional powers to enforce the non-occupancy of regulations in the general public interest, as to fire and other causes of waste in the management of forests owned by private individuals and corporations. I have shown sufficiently the conditions as to federal forestry to indicate that no further legislation is needed at the moment except an increase in the fire protection to national forests and an act vesting the executive to the management of forests for reservations in every state where government land is timber-covered, or where the land is needed for forestry purposes. Coal Lands The next subject, and one most important for our consideration, is the disposition of the coal lands in the United States and in Alaska. First, as to those in the United States. At the beginning of this administration they were classified coal lands amounting to 5,476,000 acres., and there were withdrawn from entry for purposes of classification II-787,800 acres. Since the area there was withdrawn by my order from entry for classification 77,648,000 acres, making a total withdrawal of 95,515,000 acres. Meantime, of the acres thus withdrawn, 11,371,000 have been classified and found not to contain coal, and have been restored to agricultural entry, and 4,356,000 acres have been classified as coal lands; while 79,788,000 acres remain withdrawn from entry and await classification. In addition 39,000 acres have been classified as coal lands and thus increasing the classified coal lands to 10,168,000 acres. Under the laws providing for the disposition of coal lands, the minimum price at which lands are permitted to be sold is $10 an acre; but the secretary of the interior has the power to fix a maximum price and sell at that price. By the first regulation in the kingdom in April 8, 1907, the minimum was $10 as provided by law, and the maximum was $100, and the highest price actually placed upon any land sold was $75. Under the new regulations, adopted April 10, 1909, the maximum price was increased to $300, except in regions where there are large mines, where no maximum limit is fixed and the amount of coal and tons of coal to the acre. The highest price fixed for any land under this regulation has been $608. The appraisal value of the lands classified as coal lands and valued under the new and old regulations is shown to be as follows: 4,303,921 acres, valued under the old regulations at $77,644,329, an average of $18 an acre; and 5,854,702 acres classified and valued at $10,653,921 acres, valued at $203,242, or a total of 10,158,623 acres, valued at $471,847,571. For the year ending March 31, 1909, 227 coal entries were made, embracing an area of 35,331 acres, which sold for $635,020.40. For the year ending March 31, 1910, there were 176 entries, embracing an area of 35,331 acres, which sold for $635,020.40. For the year ending March 31, 1910, there were 176 entries, embracing an area of 35,331 acres, which sold for $635,020.40. For the year ending March 31, 1910, there were 17 entries, with an area of 1,720 acres, which sold for $33,910.00, making a disposition of the coal lands in the last two years out of 60,000 acres for $1,305,000. The council congress, as already said, has separated the surface of coal lands, either classified or for classification, from the coal beneath, to permit at all times homestead entries upon the surface of lands useful for ag- riculture and to reserve the ownership in the coal to the government. The question which remains to be considered is whether the existing law for the sale of the coal in the ground should continue in force or be repealed and a new method of disposition adopted. Under the present law the absolute title in the coal beneath the surface passes to the grantee of the government. The price fixed in force or repealed and amounted to portions of coal per acre beneath the surface, and the prices are fixed so that the earnings will only be a reasonable profit upon the amount paid and the investment necessary. But, of course, this is more or less guesswork, and the government parts with the ownership of the coal in the ground absolutely. Authorities of the geological survey estimate that in the United States today there is a supply of coal, and that of this one thousand billions are in the public domain. Of course, the other two thousand billions are within private ownership and under no more control as to the use or the prices at which the coal may be sold than any other private property. If the government leases the coal lands and acts as any landlord would, and imposes conditions in its leases like those which are now imposed by the owners in fee of coal mines, then it would retain over the disposition of the coal deposits a choice as to the assignee of the lease, or of resuming possession at the end of the term of the lease, which might easily be framed to enable it to exercise a limited but effective control in the disposition and sate of the coal to the public. It has been urged that the leasing system has never been adopted in this country, and that its adoption control of capital and the proper development and opening up of the coal resources. I venture to differ entirely from this view. The question as to how great an area ought to be included in a lease to one individual or corporation, is not free from difficulty; but in view of the fact that the government retains control as owner, I think there might be some liberality in wishing the government to create a large area would not be too great a maximum. By the opportunity to readjust the terms upon which the coal shall be held by the tenant, either at the end of each lease or at periods during the term, the government may secure the benefit of sharing in the increased price of coal and the additional profit made by the tenant. By imposing conditions in respect to the mine, the government may control the character of the development of the mines and the treatment of employees with reference to safety. By denying the right to transfer the lease except by the written permission of the governmental authorities, it may withhold the needed funds from the mine. By the leasehold to persons interested in establishing a monopoly of coal production in any state or neighborhood. The change from the absolute grant to the leasing system will involve a good deal of trouble in the outset, and the training of experts in the matter of making proper leases; but the change will be a good deal of ease. The change is in the interest of conservation, and I am glad to approve it. Alaska Coal Lands. The investigation of the geological survey show that the coal properties in Alaska cover about 1,200 square miles, and that there are known to be available about 15,000,000,000 tons. This is, however, an underestimate of the coal in Alaska, because further developments will probably increase this amount many times; but we can say with considerable certainty that there are two fields on Pacific slope which can be reached by railways at a reasonable cost from deep water—in one case about fifty miles and in the other case of about 150 miles—which will afford certainly 6,000,000,000 tons of coal, more than half of which is of a very high grade of bituminous and of anthracite. It is estimated to be worth, in the ground, the minimum its value per acre from $50 to $500. The coking-coal lands of Pennsylvania are worth from $500 to $2,000 anacre, while other Appalachian fields are worth from $10 to $386 anacre, and the fields in the central states from $10 to $2,000 anacre, and in the Rocky mountains for coal on the Pacific coast is for about 4,500,000 tons of ore. It is estimated that further compaction of cheap fuel oil, which the equivalent of 12,000,000 tons of coal a year is used there. It is estimated that the coal could be laid down at Seattle or San Francisco, a high-grade bituminous, at $4 a ton and anthracite at $5 or $6 a ton. The price of coal on the Pacific slope varies greatly from time to time in the year and from year to year—from year established, the expert of the geological survey, Mr. Brooks, who has made a report on the subject, does not think there would be an excessive profit in the Alaska coal mining because the price at which the coal could be sold would be considerably lowered by competition from these fields and by the presence of crude fuel in the coal. The disposition of Alaska coal lands shows them to need amendment badly. On November 12, 1906, President Roosevelt issued an executive order withdrawing all coal lands from location and entry in Alaska. On May 16, 1907, he modified the order so as to permit valid locations made prior to the withdrawal on November 12, 1906, to proceed to entry and patent. Prior to that date some 900 claims had been made for them said legal because either made less likely by dummy entrymen in the interest of one individual or corporation, or because of agreements made prior to location between the applicants to co-operate in developing the lands. There are 33 claims for 160 acres each, known as the "Cunningham claims," which are claimed to be valid on the ground that they were made for the location there was a pool their claims after they had been perfected and unite them in one company. The trend of decision seems to show that such an agreement would invalidate the claims, although under the consequent law of May 28, 1908, the consequence of such claims was permitted after location and entry in the tracts of property. It would, of course, impracticable for use to intimate what the result of the issue as to the Cunningham and other Alaska claims is likely to be, but it ought to be distinctly understood that no private claims for Alaska coal lands have as yet been allowed or perfected, and also that whatever the result as to possession of land of Alaska are most unsatisfactory and should be radically amended. To begin with, the purchase price of the land is a flat rate of $10 per acre, although, as we have seen, the estimate of the agent of the geological survey would carry up the maximum of value to $500 an acre, and also that the actual mineral or proper development of Alaska that these coal lands should be opened, and that the Pacific slope should be given the benefit of the comparatively cheap coal of fine quality which can be furnished at a reasonable price from these fields; but the public, through the government, ought certain states to use control over these coal deposits, think it may do so safely if congress will authorize the granting of leases, as already suggested for government coal lands in the United States, with provisions forbidding the transfer of the leases except with the consent of the government, thus preventing their acquisition by a combination or monopoly and upon limitations as to the area to be included in any one lease to one initial, with royalties upon the coal mined proportioned to the market value of the coal either at Seattle or at San Francisco. Of course such leases should contain conditions requiring the erection of proper plants, the proper development by modern mining methods of the coal, or of even known and practical means and device for saving the life of the miners. Oil and Gas Lands. In the last administration there were withdrawn from agricultural entry 2,820,000 acres of supposed oil land in California; about a million and a half acres in Louisiana, of which only 6,500 acres were known to be vacant unappropriated land; 75,000 acres in Oregon and 174,000 acres in Wyoming, making a total of nearly 4,000,000 acres. In September, 1908, I directed that all public oil lands, whether then withdrawn or not, should be withdrawn from disposition pending gressional action, for the existing oil law, although the existing law is desirable to deposits of this character, is not suitable to such lands, and for the further reason that it seemed desirable to reserve certain fuel-oil deposits for the use of the American navy. Accordingly the form of all existing withdrawals was changed, and new withdrawals aggregating 2,750,000 acres were made in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. Field examinations during the year showed that of the original withdrawals, 2,170,000 acres were not valuable for oil and they were restored for agriculture. Meanwhile, other withdrawals of public withdrawals, other states were made, so that July 1, 1910, the outstanding withdrawals then amounted to 4,550,000 acres. The needed oil and gas law is essentially a leasing law. In their natural occurrence, oil and gas cannot be measured in terms of acres, like coal, and it follows that exclusive title to these products can normally be secured only after they reach the surface. Oil should be disposed of as a commodity in terms of barrels of transportable product rather than in acres of real estate. This is, of course, the reason for the practically universal adoption of the leasing system, oll land and oil land ownership. The government thus would not be entering an experiment, but simply putting into effect a plan successfully operated in private contracts. Why should not the government as a landowner deal directly with the oil producer rather than through the intervention of a middleman to whom the government gives title to the land? The principal underlying feature of such legislation should be the exercise of beneficial control rather than the collection of revenue. As not only the largest owner of oil lands, but as a prospective large consumer of oil by reason of the increasing use of fuel oil by the navy, the federal government is directly concerned both in encouraging rational development and at the same time insuring the longest possible life to the oil supply. One of the difficulties presented, especially in the California fields, is that the Southern Pacific railroad owns every other section of land in the oil field, and in those fields the oil seems to be in a common reservoir, or series of reservoirs, communicating with sands so that the accessive draining of it to the well, or on the railroad territory generally, would exhaust the oil in the government land. Hence it is important that if the government is to have its share of the oil it should begin the opening of wells on its own property. It has been suggested, and I believe the suggestion to be a sound one, that permits be issued to a prospector for only giving the right to prospector for two wells over a certain tract of government land for the discovery of oil, the right to be evidenced by a license for which he pays a small sum. When the oil is discovered, then he acquires title to a certain tract, much in the same way as he would acquire title under a mining law. Of course if the system of leasing is adopted, then he would have the benefit of lease up terms like that above. What has been said in respect to oil applies also to government lands. Phosphate Lands. Phosphorus is one of the three essentials to plant growth, the other elements being nitrogen and potash. Of these three, phosphorus is by all odds the scarcest element in nature. It is easily extracted in useful form from the phosphate rock, and the United States contains the greatest known deposits this rock in the United States. Found in Utah and Florida, as well as in South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee. The government phosphate lands are confined to Wyoming, Utah and Florida. Prior to March 4, 1909, there were 4,000,000 acres withdrawn from agricultural entry in the ground that the land covered phosphate rock. Since that time, 2,322,000 acres of the land are covered for the land, not contain phosphate in profitable quantities, while 1,678,000 acres was classified properly as phosphate lands. During this administration there has been withdrawn and classified 437,000 acres, so that today there is classified as phosphate rock land 2,115,000 acres. This rock is most important in the composition of fertilizers to improve the fertility of the land and to create an enormous demand throughout this country for fertilization, the value to the public of such deposits as these can hardly be exaggerated. Certainly with respect to these deposits a careful policy of conservation should be followed. A law that would provide a leasing system for the phosphate deposits, together with the policy for the surface and mineral rights as is already provided for in the case of coal, would seem to meet the need of promoting the development of these deposits and their utilization in the agricultural lands of the west. If it is thought desirable to discourage the exportation of phosphate rock and the saving of the land for new lands, this policy could be accomplished by conditions in the leased grant by the government to its lessees. Of course, under the constitution the government could not tax and could not prohibit the exportation of phosphate, but as proprietor and owner of the lands in which the phosphate is being exported, Utah and Florida, the kind of sales, whether foreign or domestic, which the lessees might make of the phosphate mined. Water-Power Sites. Prior to March 4, 1909, there had been, on the recommendation of the reclamation service, withdrawn from agricultural entry, because they were regarded as useful for water-power sites which ought not to be disposed of as agricultural lands, tracts amounting to about four million acres. The withdrawals were hastily made and included a great deal of land that was not useful for power sites. They were intended to include the power sites on 29 rivers in nine states. Since that time, 23,149 acres were required for settlement of the original million, because they do not contain power sites; and meantime there have been newly withdrawn 1,245,892 acres on vacant public land and 211,007 acres on entered public land, or a total of 1,456,899 acres. These withdrawals made from time to time cover all the power sites included in the first withdrawals, and many more, on 135 rivers and in 11 states. The disposition of these power sites involves one of the four sites presented in laying out practical solutions. The statute of 1891 with its amendments permits the secretary of the interior to grant perpetual easements or rights of way from water sources over public lands for the primary purpose of irrigation and such electrical current as may be incidentally developed, but no grant can be made under this statute to concerns whose primary purpose is generating and handling electricity. The statute of 1901 authorizes the secretary of the interior to issue revocable permits over the public lands to electrical power companies, but this statute is workfully inadequate because it does not authorize the collection of a charge or fix a term of years. Capital is slow to invest in an authorize founded on a permit revocable at will. It is the plain duty of the government to see to it that in the utilization and development of all this immense amount of water power, conditions shall be imposed that will prevent monopoly and will prevent extortion charges, which are the accompaniment of monopoly. The difficulty of adjusting the matter is accentuated by the relation of the power sites to the water, the fall and flow of which create the power. In the place where these sites are, the power owner does not control the power in the water which flows past his land. That power is under the control and within the grant of the state, and generally the rule is that the first water user is entitled to the enjoyment. Now, the possession of the bank or water-power site over which the water is to be conveyed in order to make the power useful, gives to its owner an advantage and a certain kind of control over the use of the water power, and it is proposed that the government in dealing with its own land should use its advantage and the lands for power water in such cases. The power over the power, and impose conditions on the leasehold with reference to the reasonableness of the rates at which the power, when transmuted, is to be furnished to the public, and forbidding the union of the particular power with a combination of others made for the purpose of monopoly by forbidding assignment of the lease for the property of the state over the power power in its natural condition, and the mere proprietorship of the government in the riparianland. It is contended that through its mere proprietary right in the site, the central government has no power to attempt to exercise police jurisdiction with reference to how the water power in a river owned and controlled by the state shall be used, and that it is a violation of the state's rights. I question the validity of this objection. The government may own property without limitation in its lease of its own property, even though it may have the same purpose, and in effect accomplish just what the state would accomplish by the exercise of its sovereignty. There are those (and the director of the geological survey, Mr. Smith, who has given a great deal of attention to this matter, is one of them) who insist that this matter of transmuting water power into electricity, which can be conveyed all over the country and utilized in a manner that ought to be retained by the general government, and that it should avail itself of the ownership of these power sites for the very purpose of co-ordinating in one general plan the power generated from these government owned sites. Arguments Against Idea. Arguments Against Idea. On the other hand, it is contended that it would relieve a complicated situation if the control of the water-power site and the control of water were vested in the governmentity and ownership, viz. the states, and then were disposed of for development to private lessees under the restrictions needed to preserve the interests of the public from the extortions and abuses of monopoly. Therefore, bills have been introduced in congress providing that whenever the state authorities deem a water power useful they may apply to the government of the United States for a grant to the state of the adjacent land for a water-power site, and that this grant will be federal government that the state shall never part with the title to the water-power site or the water power, but shall lease it only for a term of years not exceeding fifty, with provisions in the lease by which the rental and the rates for which the power is furnished to the public shall be readjusted at periods less than the term of the lease, say, every ten years. The argument is urged against this disposition of power sites that legislators and state authorities are more subject to corporate influence than central government; in reply it is claimed that a readjustment of the terms of leasehold every ten years would secure to the public and the state just and equitable terms. I do not express an opinion upon the controversy thus made or a preference as to the two methods of treating water-power sites. I shall submit the matter to congress and urge that one or the other of the two plans be adopted. I have referred to the course of the last administration and of the present one in making withdrawals of government lands from entry under homestead and other laws and of congress in removing all doubt as to the validity of these withdrawals as a great step in the process of provision. But it is only of two necessary steps to effect what should be our purpose. It has produced a status quo and prevented waste and irrevocable disposition of the lands until the method for their proper disposition can be formulated. But it is of the utmost importance that such withdrawals should not be made in the absence of conservation, and that the idea should not be allowed to spread that conservation is the tying up of the natural resources of the government for indefinite withholding from use and the remission to remote generations to decide what ought to be done with these means of promoting present general human comfort and progress in the greatest opposition to conservation as a cause, and if it were a correct expression of the purpose of conservationists it ought to arouse this opposition. As I have said elsewhere, the problem is how to save and how to utilize, how to conserve and still develop; for no sane person can contend that it is for some good reason that nature's creatures should be stored only for unborn generations. I beg of you, therefore, in your deliberations and in your informal discussions, when men come forward to suggest evils that the promotion of conservation is to remedy, that you invite them to point out the evils, the evils, the evils; remedies that you invite them to come down to details in order that their discussions may flow into channels that shall be useful rather than into periods that shall be eloquent and entertaining, without shedding real light on the subject. The people should be informed in order that they make their representatives in congress and the state legislature do their intelligent bidding. Real Devotion. William H.

THE nengzigeeo en Douglass — Undertaking 29990 -eieey Company URIS <efie> 1023 19th Street "s*erstes tended to tne ci | The flat, round plaited frill has usurped the place of the round, flat lace collar. It is not becoming, as a rule, but that makes no difference ta the votaries of fashion. This frill ts made of very sheer material laid in flat plaints which spring out about an inch from the edge. This edge is ‘nearly always finished with lace. The collar 1s intended to be worn ‘with a slightly low neck or white blouse in the same way that the Peter Pan and Dutch collars have been applied. i ‘The small frill goes straight around the neckband and fastens with a large cabochon, from which hang uneven tabs of black velvet or satin ribbon. Few girls can wear this even round line at the neck, for the human face requires a dip at the front of the neck no matter how it is obtained. Therefore if a girl wants to be fash- fonable and wear one of these frilled collars and look well in {t she should 4ip tt down to show her neck.
