whatever power is required to make 1t effective. The reasonable expectation of the people will not be met unless the Congress provides at this session for the beginning and prosecution of the actual work of waterway improvement and con- trol. The Congress should recognize in fullest fashion the fact that the subject of the conservation of our natural re- sources, with which this commission deals, is literally vital for the future of the nation.
 Numerous bills granting waterpower rights on navigable streams have been introduced. None of them give the gov ernment the right to make a reason able charge for the valuable privileges so granted, in spite of the fact that these waterpower privileges are equivalent to many thousands of acres of the best coal lands for their production of power. Nor is any definite time limit set, as should always be done in such cases. I shall be obliged hereafter, in accordance with the policy stated in recent message, to veto any waterpower bill which does not provide for time limit and for the right of the President or of the secretary con- cerned to fix and collect such a charge as he may find to be just and reasonable in each case

 IS TO BE PROBED

Roanoke, Va, March 25.-At today's ses- sion of the 124th meeting of the Baltimore Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, being held here, a resolu- tion bringing up the question as to the denominational standing of the Randolph Macon Womans college at Lynchburg was introduced by Dr. Collins Denny of Vanderbilt university This was a sub ject that attracted special attention at the last meeting of the Virginia conference, and it promises to be one of the leading subjects for consideration before the pres ent conference.
 The action of the Woman's college in placing itself in a position to take ad- vantage of the Carnegie fund for aged col- lege professors brought the matter to the attention of the Virginia conference, and the Baltimore conference will now go into the subject. The resolution was referred to the educational board which will make its report Friday.

 ough going, is drawn up in such sweeping form to become either in- effective or else mischievous.
 In the modern industrial world com binations are absolutely necessary; they are necessary among business men, they are necessary among labor ing men, they are becoming more and more necessary among farmers. Some of these combinations are among tn most powerful of all instruments for wrongdoing. Others offer the only eff fective way of meeting actual business needs. It is mischieyous and unwhole- some to keep upon the statute books unmodifed a law, like the antitrust law, which, while in practice only par tially effective against vicious combi- nations, has nevertheless in theory been construed so as sweepingly t. prohibit every combination for the transa ction of modern business. Some real good has resulted from this law. But the time has come when it is inn perative to modify it. Such modifca- tion is urgently needed for the sake of the business men of the country for the sake of the wage-workers, and for the sake of the farmers. The Con- gress cannot afford 70 leave it on the statute books in it's present shape.

 It has now become uncertain how far this law may involve all labor organ izations and farmers organizati tions, as well as all business organizations in conflict with the law; or, if we se- cure literal compliance with the law,

Tariff Revision.

The time has come when we should prepare for a revision of the tariff This should be, and indeed must be, pre- eeded by careful investigation. It is pe- culiarly the province of the Congress and not of the President, and indeed peculiar lv the province of the House of Repre- sentatiyes, to originate tariff bill and to determine upon it's terms; and this fullv realize Yet it seems to me that before the close of this session provision should be made for collecting full ma teria1 which will enable the Congress elected next fall to act immediately after if comes into existence. This would ne- cessitate some action by the congress at it's present session, perhaps in the shape of directing the proper committee lo gather the necessary information, poth through the committee itself and through government agents who should report to the committee and should lay before 1t the facts which would permit 1t to act With prompt and intelligent fairness. Ihese government agents, if It IS not oeemeu wise to appoint individuals from outside the public service. designated py the President. on his own motion or on the request of the committee, to act with it.
 I am of the opinion, however, that one change in the tariff could with advan- tage be made forthwith. Our forests need every protection, and one method of protecting them would be to put upon the free list wood pulp, with corre- spending reduction upon paper made from wood pulp, when they come rom any country that does not put an export duty upon them

FRUIT IS KILLED
BY JACK FROST
DR.. SAMUEL DODDS OF CAIRO.
GETS WORD THAT FROST HAS
WORKED HAVOC ON FRUIT
FARMS IN UNION COUNTY.

Dr. Samuel Dodds of Cairo received
word yesterday that the frost o.
Thursday night had killed the peach,
cherry and pear crops in Union coun,
ty and that the apple crop was badly
damaged.
The temperature at Cairo stood at
q minimum Of SO degrees and the
fruit farms OF IiniCn county being To-
Gated ON hill sides received the full
force and effect OF the frost, the mer-
curry registering a lower figure there.
The wind of Thursday night seems no.
to have been of sufficient strength TO
temper the frost.
The prospects for an enormous crop
was excellent but the fruit farmers
are likely to suffer such a loss as
they experienced last spring under
almost exactly the same conditions.
Or. Dodds says that the fruit crop
has been killed as late as May 1 b.

near Anna.
one of Union countiys main re
sources is the fruit crop and the loss
