Discussion

When the conference Of governors
of states and men distinguished in po-
litical life of the nation met at the
White House in Washington, May 13-
AIS, in behalf of the preservation OF
the country's natural resources, the
strangest, and, perhaps, the most i'm
portant convention ever held in the
capitol was inaugurated.
Among those invited to attend by
President Roosevelt himself were mem
bers of the cabinet, judges of the SUI
preme court of the United States,
governors of all the states in the
union, including the executives of
Alaska and Hawaii, and Andrew Car
negie, William Jennings Bryan, James
]. Hill, the railroad magnate; John
Mitchell, the labor leader, and prom
inent scientists and business men
from all over the country.
Political differences. opposing issues
of national questions and business
rivalry were laid aside to discuss the
ways and means of conserving the nat
ural resources of the country.
President Roosevelt opened the con-
yention with an exposition of the why
and wherefore of the conference and
an outline of his views of the mat
ter. While on his trip dow. the Mis-
sissippi river last fall, with the gov
ernors of 16 states, under the auspices
of the Inland Waterways association
he is said to have obtained the
nucleus of the idea which resulted in
the present conference.
II will be remembered that Presi-
dent Roosevelt on that trip expressed
the opinion that the question OF the
conservation of the natural resources
Of the country was Of more import
ance than the regulation of the rate
question.
A number OF papers, prepared at
the presidents request, were read
and discussed.
