Denver, known to be packed for the
purpose of dealing the administration
a blow, on account of its interest In
western lands. True to his nature
President Roosevelt has struck first
Iani he has struck hard. He has de-
clared that the land thieves are
against him. His general policy is I'M
assailable. It will prove embarrassing
for anyone to attack him now.
PROFESSIONALLY, aside from the
frauds practised IA the far west, we
Americans are wasteful and extrava-
giant. On the farm, where customs
and environments change less fire.
quently, the waste is most noticeable.
1t has been but a short time. as the
ages are counted. since this was a
vast wilderness, in which any man
was welcome to as much as he could
manage. The population was sparse,
the market demand was small. It was
not necessary to farm scientifically.
| II was not necessary to save. The
habit grew on us. Our forests were a
nuisance, which had to be removed.
There was no apparent limit to the
timber supply. Fuel and ore were
plentiful. So we went on, but the
population increased amazingly.
Prices Of land climbed up, the timber
supply diminished under the heavy
demands, and the fuel deposits re-
ceded, as the picks swung in the OPP
enings; but we did not change our
habits, except where city life COM
PEELED us.
1t is time for us to take to heart
the lesson, which Theodore Roose-
welt has learned from his position OF
vantage, and stop robbing ourselves
of our heritage.
II takes but a few minutes to chop
down a tree 1t requires a generation
to replace It. Other countries have
exhausted their natural wealth. We
should heed the warning and cling to
the advantages we possess. Private
enterprise will not have regard fol-
the general welfare or the future sup
ply. Only governmental action will
save our resources and that action
must be immediate and drastic.
Naturally the people deprived Of
personal gain will be heard from. The
rest of us will sit silent, If we under
stand the situation, or sympathize
with our aggrieved fellows if we dc
not. Little practical aid from citi
zens generally can be expected.
II is his way of taking the people
into his confidence that has wor
success for Theodore Roosevelt. ant
when historians review his admins
tration no other policy will stand GU
as important and far-reaching in IT.
effect on the future of the nation, al
does his internal policy of the ICON
servation of our national resources.
His realization of the condition
and prompt action place him abov'
his predecessors in true statesman
ship.

Strange what misleading Informal
ton comes from what are unexpected
sources. One would naturally feel
certain of getting the right dope"
concerning a prominent city in Ken
lucky from Louisville paper. Here
comes one of the enterprising jour
nails of that city, however, with a
long and strong complimentary write
up of the city of Paducah, in which
1t is solemnly stated that on the
banks of the river near that city is
the grave of the great Indian. chief
from whom the city took its name.
There may have been an Indian war
rior with a name somewhat similar
to the name of this prosperous and
progressive city, but it's the height
of absurdity to try to tell us that he
gave the city its name. Ask any old
time Ohio river steamboatman or
any old dweller of the river section
of the city, and you will be told that
away back yondeer when boats first
began blowing the pelucid waters OF
La Belle river. they used wood for
fuel almost exclusively. There was
a woodward for boats at or near the
site of the present city of Paducah,
and 1t was kept by an Irishman
named Patrick Dugan- OF course
everybody called him Pat Dugan, and
that soon became Padugan-and
there you have the genesis of the
name. All old-time rivermen know
all about this. and some OF them
probably could tell you of acquaint-
ance with descendants q the original
Patrick Dugan. Give the Indian his
due. but also let other people have
theirs.-Woman's World.

have had the past few days, bring

This Is a condition incident to the

natures warning to get in fit con

TRUE CRAFTSMANSHIP.

Our great national peril does not
come from the outside Providence
has protected this nation with geo.
graphic boundaries. We have only
ourselves to fear.
Conquest and territorial acquisi-
ton marked early stages OF our ma
tional development. Those we're ex-
travagant times, when the insignia
canoe of the population compared
with the area of the United States
prevented the inhabitants realizing
mat there must come a time when
the relation of the population to the
area must be reversed. Wasteful hab-
its we're the heritage of succeeding
generations, and only those, whose
business foresight observed the pos
sibilities OF aecruing riches from the
growth of land values. appreciated
the dissipation of the natural wealth
OF the nation, and the others, true
to the dogma of unrestrained per-
sonal oppot unity, placed no check on
private acquisition of public domain
and the destruction of forests
In a free country public opinion is
likely to regard government as a bur-
den and tse license of individuals
with compne ace. Governmental
policies at best are as shifting sands,
and we rear more politicians than
statesmen
The period of acquisition has long
since passed Our development has
advanced 50 fast that we are menaced
with a check TO our industrial indie
pendence through exhaustion of our
crude supply.
"The conservation Of our natural
resources and their proper use consti-
tute the fundamental problem which
underlies almost every other prob
lem of our national life. Unless we
maintain an adequate material basis
for our civilization, we can not main
tain the Institutions in which we take
so great and so just a PRIDE and to
waste and destroy our natural re-
sources means to undermine this ma
terial basis. During the last FIVE
years efforts have been made in sew
eral new directions in the govern
ment service TO get our people to
look ahead. TO exercise foresight. and
to substitute a planned and orderly
development Of our resources in the
place OF haphazard striving for i'm
mediate profit The effort has been
made through several agencies"
Thus did President Roosevelt in
his speech before the National Edito-
rial association embody in concrete
form the policies of the various adj
ministrative bureaus OF the interior
department. and place the issues be-
tween the executive and special in
terests. particularly in the west, on
high grounds.
The west is most intimately con-
cerned with the home policies of the
government. The reclamation Of arid
lands, the reservation of fuel land,
forest preservation. prevention Of
waste of stock ranges, development
OF the inland waterways-al these
are Of vital interest between the AL
legheny mountains and the Pacific
slope
BY this timely concentration Of his
arguments President Roosevelt has
put the administration in a strong
position to meet the forces. which
are working for their private gain to
break down the policy Of the Interior
department. It was made on the eve
of the great real estate convention at
