MOVE TO SAVE RESOURCES
J. J. Hill Considers Gathering of Gov.
errors Most important.

James J. Hill, president of the Great
Northern Railroad company, believes
that one of the surest ways to insure
continued prosperity in the United
States is to carry on the work of the
governors conference recently held in
Washington.
THAT meeting called by President
Roosevelt 10 insure the conservation
of natural resources was" said Mr..
Hill in his New York Office to Il re-
porter OF the New York American,
zone of the greatest steps forward that
have been taken III many years. We
need men at the head of this move
ment who will keep on lighting ana
not become discouraged by the many
rebuffs that are sure to come.
1t may be that little progress will
| be shown for four or i've years. The
active worker of today may become
a bit weary of not showing better re-
suits, Int il we can only keep the right
kind of people interested am sure tie
results will benefit generations to
| come in this country
America today is suffering from
| too much surface work. We as Il peo-
pie have beea satisfied TO skim over
affairs. Forgetting that we have an OBJ
/ legation to our Sons and Srandsons.
I'VE have~been destroying right and
| left, and now that the subject has
come before the people in Il national
| way have the greatest hopes that
! good will come from the first meeting.
| My idea is to make the organiza-
| ton Il lasting one. We want yearly
| meetings, oftener IL need be, but not
| less than once year. The people OF
the United States need to get back to
nature. We want to pay more atten-
| ton to the ground and less to stocks.
Less Wall street and more farming will
be one of the greatest salvations of
this wonderful country. we have had
hard times, and we are not out Of the
woods yet. We have been taught a
lesson, and if it is a lasting impression
then it has not been in vain.
| This is one of my busiest days, but
can't think of anything more impor-
tant than to assist in trying to awaken
our people to the consideration of our
natural wealth of land.
| II want to see the states and the ma
tional government join hands in SAY
ing the natural resources. While the
| organizat ton of governors has no legal
1 footing, it will result in arousing the
people of this country to the real dan
ger that confronts them and their chill
dren."

But location rather than luck causes
the frequent selection of Chicago The
city is geographically a considerable
distance from the center, but it is not
far from the population center of the
United States. In the matter of trans
portations. both by water on the great
lakes and by rail, Chicago Is unsur-
passed. 1t is the greatest railroad cen
ter in America. though in danger of
losing it's premiership in that respect
to Kansas City. Onb may reach Chi
cago with comparative ease from any
place in the United States where there
Is railroad connection. Another advan-
tage of the city for great conventions
is that of hotel facilities. So big is
Chicago that the many thousands OF
extra visitors who attend the national
conventions create scarcely a ripple Of
excitement so far as numbers are con-
cerned. They can be accommodated
with ease, and even swallowed up in
the vast throngs without being partic-
ularly noticea BILE.
Chicago and New York are the only
cities In America where this condition
prevails. New York being too far to
one side of the country Chicago thus
becomes the inevitable convention city.
Chicago makes no particular effort to
obtain great conventions, knowing that
they belong to her as a natural right
and will come anyhow.
The population of Chicago is now APP
proximately 100000. The city's area
is about 200 squars miles. For twenty
six miles along the shore of Lake Mich
igan the great city stretches. running
back ten or more miles inland.
The growth of Chicago was one Of
the world wonders of the nineteenth
century In the year 1880, when the
first national political convention in
the United States was held, that of
The Masonic party Chicago was
merely collection of log houses, with
less than hundred inhabitants.

convention, which was the first to be
held in Chicago met in 1860 and f1orn-

dent the population was less than 11O,.

negized, but all home built There are
miles and miles and miles of splendid
homes, and there are monuments and
fountains and an art institute. There
is even literary set, some members
of which hyphenate their names. Pork
packing and slaughter housing are by
no mea the prevailing features of
\ Chicago.8
e Such is the city into which will pour
the Republican hosts for the June con-
vention. Delegates and alternates will
trek Chicagoward from each of our
fortysix states, from every one of the
congressional districts therein and
from the states "at large" from all
the territories, both at home and
abroad. The Philippines, Porto Rico,
Hawaii and Alaska will send their del
egates-Tagalogs, Spaniards, Kanakas
and plain miners transplanted from
the United States to the far north.
There will be $50 delegates with
seats and votes in the convention. A
like number of alternates will have
seats If they care to attend, as most OF
them will, and some of them will have
votes in the absence of their respec-
tive delegates. In the Republican ma
tional convention majority is suffi-
Gent to nominate candidates. This
year 491 votes will be enough. The
Democratic national convention re-
quires two-thirds vote.
The Republican, convention will be
held in the Coliseum, which is one of
the largest halls in the world. 1t is To-
Gated at Wabash avenue and Fifteenth
street, on the site where stood during
the exposition the famous Libby prison
building transported from Richmond
and set up brick by brick. The Coli
scum was built in 1900 and is perma-
nent structure Of steel, stone and glass.
1t IS 800 feet long, $50 feet wide and
seats 10000 people. Horse shows,
horticultural displays and other great
events have been held in the Coliseum,
which is to Chicago what Madison
Square Garden is to New York.
According to the slate makers, who
may or may not be correct in their
DEMONSTRATIONS. William H. Taft will
be nominated for the presidency on the
first ballot and Charles Warren Fair
banks VIII be renominated for the vice
presidency.

: ~ HICAGO is the favorite city for
Republican national conventions.
w. OF the thirteen quadrennial con-
ventions held by this great po-
llitical party since its birth six have
been held in Chicago. This year Chi
tcago is again the meeting place. The
Republican convention opens there
June IL to nominate candidates for
president aud vice president of the
united States. Thus to the great ILL.,
nois metropolis must be credited ex
OF the Republican party, while the
Democratic party has held four of its
nineteen national conventions in Chi
cago.
4 First of the Republican party's Chi
cago convention was that of 1860, for.
ever memorable for having nominated
for president the illustrious emancipa-
tor, Abraham Lincoln. In 1868 the con.
vention again was held in Chicago, the
nominee being the second great figure
developed by the civil war. Ulysses S.
Grant. Beginning with 1880 three con-
secutive conventions met in Chicago.
That of the year mentioned nominated
James A. Garfield. In 1884 James G..
Blaine 90 -rs.med, while In 1888 the
CONVEX ion placed Benjamin Harrison
In no hination. For three convention
years ithe Republicans again deserted
the great city on Lake Michigan's
shore, but in 1904 the convention
sat in Chicago, nominating Theodore
Roosevelt.

Chicago by the Republican party all
but one have been elected. Blaine was
the only candidate who failed to win.
Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Harrison and
Roosevelt were sent to the White

Republican Conventions In Chicago
When Lincolp Was Named
In "The Wigwam" *

Rapidly the great city grew up into the
air as well as ouH on the prairie. Her
principal streets became canyons
through which poured rivers of hu-
mainly between precipitous walls, tow
ering cliffs shelyed with suits OF
rooms wherein was transacted large
portion of that business which makes
America matter of marvel to the
more slow going old world.
About the only commemorative affair
that Chicago ever went after with
fierce determination because of the
fear that it would go somewhere else
was the Columbian exposition or
Worlds fair of 1898. Chicago wanted
the exposition just to prove to New
York, her chief competitor, that the
city by the lake was also place not
to be sneezed at. New York, which Is
too big to care a penny about such
things as a general rule, pouted and
sulked for several years because the
western wonder carried off the Worlds
fair prize.
The exposition really hurt Chicago
more than it helped and for the rather
paradoXical reason that the city was
we'll enough known already and did
not need the publicity attending
successful fair. Chicagos continued
growth was inevitable anyway. and
the exposition merely demoralized mat
tiers fer time. But Chicago got over
her Worlds fair, as she got over her
big fire. both the champions in their
respective lines at the time they hap
pened. 1t requires worse calamity
than contiagratien or an exposition
to kill off city situated like Chicago.
Chicago has many beauties and aes-
thetic things. There is Lincoln park,
for instance, with the Lincoln statue
and the lake shore drive. There is
| Jackson park, with its Field museum,
i monumental relic of the late Worlds
| fair. There is the Newberry library,
and a great big public library, not Car

An area of the city 1924 acres in ex-
tent was burned, including the main
business and residential sections, en-
falling loss of $1S7 100000. Chicago
soon outgrew ''the big fire" and forgot
about it. There were too many other
big things to think about-constructive
not destructive.
For one thing, Chicago had to teach
the rest Of the world how to build sky
scrapers. About Il quarter Of CEN
fury ago the first building OF the sky
scraping type in the world was erected
in Chicago. being made possible by the
use Of the steel skeleton framework.
