Revolutionized Industry.

Since the days when the Constitution
was adopted steam and electricity have
revolutionized the industrial world. No
where has the revolution been so great
as in our own country. The discovery
and utilization Of mineral fuels and al
Toys have given us the lead over all other
nation1 in the production OF steel. The
discovery and utilization of coal and iron
have given US our railways, and have
led to such Industrial development as
has never before been seen. The vast
wealth OF lumber in our forests. the
riches of our soils and mines. the dis
covery Of gold and mineral oils. combined
with the efficiency Of our transportation
have made the conditions of our life un-
paralleled In comfort and convenience.
The steadily increasing drain on these
natural resources has promoted to an ex-
traordinary degree the completely Of our
industrial and social life. Moreover, this
unexampled development has had de-
termining effect upon the character and
opinions of our people. The demand for
efficiency in the great task has given us
vigor. effectiveness, decision and power
and a capacity for achievement which in
its owp lines has never yet been matched.

Inroads on Resources.

The mere increase in our CONSUMPTION
Of coal during 1907 over 1906 exceeded the
total consumption In 1876 the centennial
year. The enormous stores OF mineral
oil and gas are largely gone. Our nat
ural waterways are not gone. but they
have been SO injured by neglect, and by
the division OF responsibility and utter
lack Of system in dealing with them that
there 10 less navigation on them now than
there was nifty years ago. Finally we be-
gan with soils Of unexampled fertility and
we have so impoverished them by injudi.
cious use and by failing to check erosion
that their crop producing power is dimin-
ishing instead Of increasing. In a word.
we have thoughtlessly. and to large de-
gree unnecessary. diminished the re-
sources upon which not only our prosper
ity but the prosperity OF our children must
always depend.
We have become great because of the
lavish use Of our resources and We have
lust reason to be proud Of our growth
But the time has come to inquire serious
ly what will happen when our forests are
gone when the coal. the iron. the oil and
the gas are exhausted. when the soils
shall have been still further impoverished
and washed into the streams. polluting
the rivers, denuding the fields and OBJ
structing navigation. These questions do
not relate only to the next century or to
the next generation. 1t Is time for us

reasonable foresight in dealing with our
great natural resources that would be
shown by any prudent man in conserving
and widely using the property which con-
tains the assurance Of well-being for him.
self and his children.
The natural resources l have enumer-
ated can be divided into two sharply dis
tinguished classes accordingly as they are
or are not capable OF renewal. Mines IL
used must necessarily be exhausted. The
minerals do not and cannot renew them
selves. Therefore. in dealing with tn.
coal. the oil: the gas. the iron. the metals
generally. all that we can do Is to try to
see that they are wisely used. The ex-
haustion Is certain to come in time.
The second class of resources consists
of those which cannot only be used in
such manner as to leave them undimin-
ished for our children. but can actually
be improved by wise use. The soil. the
forests. the waterways come in this cate

man is able to improve on nature only by
putting the resources TO a beneficial use
which in the end exhausts them: but in
