sIsTERLY CONFERENCE

lMHE conference of governors called
by President Roosevelt to meet i'll
= Washington next May will be the
first of the kind ever held in the
United States. The president and the
various state executives will consider
the conseryation-of the natural re-
sources of the country, subject of
vital Importance to the future of the
nation. Whatever the outcome of the
conference may be 1t cannot fail to en-
phasize the interdependence of the
states of the Union, considering each
as a political entity.
If we leave out of the range of dis
cussion Missouri and Texas, and pos
sibly Arkansas, which. it is now gen.
orally agreed, are in themselves en-
pires capable Of sustaining themselves
without external commerce and there
fore inherently independent of other
states, especially so far as natural re-
sources are concerned, all the other
units of the federation must depend
upon some one or more other units for
the necessities of life. But these three
states recognize that, though they have
within their several borders practically
everything essential to existence, this
status cannot be forever maintained.
In time certain resources must become
seriously impaired, and ultimately ex-
hausted, so that each of these political
subdivisions, If it could or should iso-
late ITSELF would be compelled to seek
commercial relations with other COM
munities.
All authorities agree that something
must be done to prevent the rapid ex-
haustion of the forest and mineral re-
sources of the nation, more particularly
the former, If we are to continue to
enjoy In the future such growth and
ress during the latter half of the nine
teenth century. 1t is primarily the OBJ
ject of the president. in seeking this
conference of governors, to formulate
some plan by which the states, inde
pendently of action on the part of the
federal government, which can go but
a short distance in this direction, may
be able to prevent the annihilation of
those gifts or nature which are abso-
lutely necessary to the progress and
welfare of the country. 1t is hardly to
be anticipated that the movement in
by the president will result
in immediate efforts to conserve these
natural resources, but the interchange
of views among the executives may
lead to feasible projects which, little by
4ittle, may be put into operation. The
Jurisdiction of the general government
over states does not reach SO far as the
control or regulation of state owned
or privately owned lands, so If anything
is to be done the states must do it
themselves. And to make any plan
effective there must be cooperation on
the part of practically all the states.
The sentiments of suspicion and jeal-
ousy which now exist in some states in
their consideration of the progress of
their neighbors may be somewhat al
layed as the direct outcome of the con-
ference at Washington. If this result,
future co-opefation in the enactment of
legislation for the benefit of the entire
country may not be so utterly inn
possible as some observers appear to
believe.

A French scientist has succeeded in
the plum variety of dazzler that is
said to accelerate the speed of those
who travel the drink highway to perdi-

in keeping the head out of plum with

this experimenter will not take to fool
