and the nations industries depend. Man may replant the forests and the rivers will resume their courses to the sea, but the vegetation necessary to produce coal cannot be restored once it has been ex- hausted.
 Mining experts predict that under pres- ent methods of production the coal depos- it's of the United States will be entirely exhausted within 200 years. It is con- tended by many competent investigators that 50 per cent of our coal supply is de- stroyed or wasted because it is impracti- cable or unprofitable to mine 1t under present commercial conditions. From ob- servation and experience am constrained to believe that this estimate is too high. am convinced, however, that by the present methods of mining not less than 25 per cent of the coal in mines that hava been developed is lost beyond hope or pos- sbility of recovery.
 Extravagant Wastefulness.
 Our extravagant wastefulness in the use of our fuel supply, both in produc- tion and consumption, is equalled only by our criminal disregard for the per- sonal safety and the lives of the an who toll in the mines. For every 19O 900 tons of coal produced mine work CT is killed and several are seriously injured. For each 1000 men employed, 3 40 are killed annually. Last year nearly 2500 men were killed and more than 5000 were seriously injured in the mining industry of our country. No other country in the world shows SD large a percentage of fatalities Indeed, in those foreign countries in which mining is most hazardous the propor- tion of men killed to the number em- ployed is from 50 to 75 per cent less than in our country.
 It is sad commentary upon our yaunted civilization that more men are killed crippled in mining in he United States than in any other nation on earth. In our mad rush for spells and profits we do not only waste and destroy those material resources wi n which God has so bountifully endowed us, but we press forward in the race sacrificing also unnecessarily the lives and the comfort of our fellow beings. It seems to me that the time has come when we should stop a moment to think-not alone of these inanimate things that make for comfort and pros perity, but also of the men and women and the children whose toll and 1s- privation have made and will continue to make our country and our people the most progressive and the most in- telligent of all the nations and all the peoples of the earth.

heavy upon the national machinery to do it's work. l feel deeply impressed with the idea that the 46 sovereign states in the performance of their duties of gov ernment are tagging behind the stage of development which the other sov- ereignties of the earth have reached
 If you look at the international life of the world you will see that the cor respondence between the nations is in creasing- g-correspondence not in the letter writing sense but the intercommunica- ton and understanding about the things they shall do in concert for the benefit of all their people.
 Now, the states in the exercise of their sovereignties, in the exercise Of powers reserved to them, rest under the same kind of duty-a duty that forbids the people of any state to live unto itself alone. The constitution of the United States prohibits the states from making any agreement with each other without the consent of Congress, but you can make any number of agreements with the consent of Congress.
 Tt is high time that the sovereign states of the union should begin to per- form their duty with reference not only to their own individual local interests, but with reference to the common good. I regard this meeting as marking a new departure--the beginning of an era in which the states of the union will exer- else their reserved powers upon higher plane of patriotism and love of coun- try than has ever existed before"
