ern railway, was the first speaker.
Soil waste and forest conservation
received expert treatment by Prof.
t. c. Chamberlain, of Chicago, and
r. A. Long, of Kansas City, Mo.
At the afternoon session former
Governor Pardee, of California, spoke
Governor Glenn. of North Carolina,
got on the platform near the end of
the morning session, and won ap-
pause by declaring In language of
one of the greatest sages and states
men of these United States-iIroyer
CleYeland-it was a condition and not
a theory, that confronts US today"
Forest protection was the nations
present duty, and he advocated CO.
operation between the states and the
nation. Governor Glenn demanded
that the conference leave no doubt on
the minds of congress what they
wanted, and as an entering wedge he
wanted resolutions endorsing the
pending bill creating the White
Mountain and Appalachian forest re-
serves.

Il want to remark" Governor Glenn
added with emphasis, that We of the
south tried such confederation once,
but it did not pay. We want no more
of it
The convention was on its feet in
an instant. hats and handkerchiefs
were waved, and governors and dele
gates shouted and applauded, while
Governor Glenn went on to remark
that he was a son of a Confederate
who died for the cause, and now he
was a son of the Union, and inter
ested first and last in the welfare of
the nation.
