THE NATIONS LAND POLICY

The Denver public lands convention did not make the attack on the Roose- welt administration which had been loudly heralded for several weeks be- fore the gathering took place. It did not make the attack which the presi- dent expected. The administration, an tieipating assault, sent several of its members to the seat of war. Secre- taries Garfield of the interior depart ment and Wilson of the department of agriculture were there. So were Ballin- ger, the head of the land office; Newell of the reclamation service and Pinchot of the forestry bureau. All of them were loaded for the fray.
 But although Garfield, Wilson, Pin ehot and one or two of the other de- partment and bureau chiefs spoke, the convention turned out to be rather tame. The president s policy of estab- fishing forest reserves and of retain ing, in the hands of the government, the mineral lands owned by the gov ernment at the present time, has been attacked by many western men in and out of congress, but the masses of the people of the west, as of the east and the south, applaud the president in his endeavors to protect the interests of the entire country, and to protect those interests for generations in the future. Hence, that threatened assault on the administration did not take place.
 The resolutions which were adopted declare that the public lands are to be held in trust for the benefit of actual settlers when they appear; forest re- serve should not infringe on this pol icy; and that all lands not timbered, or suitable for tree planting, or nec- essary to conserve the flow of streams used for irrigation should be taken out of the forest reserves. These were the more important pronouncements of the convention. They did not declare against the presidents policy, but they urged dts modification in some particu- lars, and they favored the mitigation of some features which were thought to be harsh. But the ghost dance of the timber and coal pirates did not take place. The recent roundup of the land bandits by the agents of the ad. ministration gave the president a chance to formulate a policy which the west would have opposed a few years

best which the department could do was
to confine the flames to the single plant
