SEEK TO CONSERVE RESOURCES
President Calls Conference Of Gov.

President Calls Conference Of Gov.
ernors to Discuss Matter.
Washington, Nov. 10. - President
Roosevelt has invited the governors
of the states and territories to meet
him at the White House May 10, Il
and Is next to discuss the question of
means to conserve the natural re-
sources of the country. Invitations
are to be extended to the members;
of both houses of congress and to the
inland waterways commission. The.
importance and manner in which the
subject is to be considered are indi-
Gated in the presidents letter to the
governors, which was made public at
the White House yesterday.
Are Becoming Depleted.
The president says in part:
1T is evident that the abundant nat!
ural resources, on which the welfare
of this nation rests, are becoming de.
pleted, and, in not few cases, are al.
ready exhausted. This is true of all
portions of the United States; it is
especially true of the longer settled
communities of the East. The gravi;
ty of the situation must, believe, APP
peal with special force to the govern.
ors of the states, because of their
close relations to the people and their
responsibility for the welfare of their
communities.
Vital to the Nation.
"The matters to be considered at
this conference are not confined to
any region or group of states, but are
vital to the nation as whole and to
all the people. Those subjects in.
clude the use and conservation of the
mineral resources, the resources of
the land and the resources of the wa
tiers in every part Of our territory.
I'm order to open discussion, shall
invite a few recognized authorities to
present brief descriptions of actual
facts and conditions, without argu
ment, leaving the conference to deal
with each topic as it may elect.
A Weighty Question.
Facts, which I cannot gainsay,
force me to believe that the conserva.
ton of our natural resources is the
most weighty question before the PEG.
pie of the United States. II this is
SO, the proposed conference, which Is
the first of its kind. will be among the
most important gatherings in our his.
tory in its effect upon the welfare Of
all our people,"

 MT. c. C. Bradford, who Is here from Round Rock, Texas, seems to be quite we'll pleased with the valley. He has been out in the country every day since his arrival here to see how the farmers do things here. The al- fafa and hog ranches look good to him. It Is to be hoped that Mir Brads ford will make up his mind to locate in this section, as he Is one of the best and most prominent citizens of his part of the country.

 Assistant Engineer Hermann and Division Engineer Clark, of the Cali fonla Development company, were in Imperial Wednesday, in conference with Superintendent Farnsworth, of Water company No. 1, regarding the plans for the improvement of the sys- tenn of that company.
 From the number of new subscrlb- CTS that are coming to the Press from eastern people, one Is led to believe that interest in the Imperial valley Is awakening. The Press In the last two weeks has received a large num- Der of inquiries about the valley In general and especially do they want to know about Fl Centro.
 The Press Is in receipt this week of two communications written in answer to the one published by Rev. Tout, of Imperial. They were received too late for publication. as the matter for the paper had nearly been prepared when they came to hand We are sorry that the article in question has called forth answers and we hate to give up space to the long discussion of these matters and would say that in the first instance there was a consideration, However, next week we will try and find the space for the replies. If any more should come in we hope they will be as short as possible.

We overheard remark the other
day which seems to cover common
error in the public mind. Speaking
of a communication 10 a recent issue
of the Press the person said: "Of
course such a communication would
be printed because it comedies with
the ideas OF the editor" We wish
to say that the remark does the Press
an injustice, because any commuhica-
tion devoid of personalities and OBJ
1ectionable language, covering either
side of any subject of public interest
will be printed in these columns
whether or not it meets with the views
of the publisher. The signature OF
the author as an evidence OF good
faith but not for publication without
his or her concent, is the only re-
auriement. In fact we invite q free
discussion of all sides OF public ques-
tions in these columns. because the
Press lie the organ Of the people and
wears the collar Of no class or Indi'
vidual. Only yesterday it was called
upon to publish c matter OF news IN

il we did so. 1t was q case OF duty
TO the public. While 1t is true that
some socalled newspapers may be in
