wants ii to agree upon a plan and
course Of procedure which will bring
practical results for the improvement
of the waterways Of tnc country, not
merely for navigation, but with a view
to their utilization eoi every other
possible purpose, Included I'm the
consideration Of this subject Is the
question Of the conservation of all
natural resources.
The letters which are coming into
the White House from all parts Of the
country are making suggestions as to
the course the conference should take
along the various lines of the con-
servation Of natural resources. Men
in the timbered regions of the coun
try are making suggestions as to how
the forests should be preserved. 9th.
er letters from the coal regions speak
Of mining conditions waste OF coal
and methods for its conservation
while from the whole Mississippi val
ley and the valleys of other navigable
streams come suggestions as to the
development of water power, means
of prevention OF floods, and the need
of some steps for the prevention Of
soil erosion.
Expert Testimony
All these topics are to come up for
discussion in the conference. The
idea is to make the meeting as practi-
cal as possible. and to steer clear, as
far as may be, from a purely scien-
tific discussion of these questions
II is very likely that certain recog-
nized authorities on these subjects
will be called upon 10 present very
briefly and simply, as a basis OF dis
cussion. these different phases Of the
question of conservation. But the
main idea is to get the opinion Of the
governors and their ideas as TO how
the resources OF the country can be
preserved.

WANTS GOVERNMENT TO
ISSUE TREASURY NOTES
Southerner Says Additional Issue

Believes Minority Plan or
ferS Better Solution Than
AldriCh Measure Goes

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE first of
the speeches on the Aldrich currency
Dill was heard TO-DAY in the Senate
when Senator Clay, OF Georgia, took
up the time allotted him FOR a gem
eral discussion of the measure.
Tie first analyzed the DILL and then
declared that 1t was all wrong and
vicious and would give no relief either
TO the South or West. He took up the
bill, paragraph by paragraph, defin-
Ing each one. and then denounced the
entire measure as worthless so far
as affording relief is concerned. and
as being against the best interests of
the public.
He contended that the measure pro-
vides simply for enlarging the power
of the national banks and that by
passing the measure Congress relin-
quisnes the sovereign right to issue
ana circulate money, which it ought
never to do
Has Better Plan
The plan of the minority In the Sen
ate to issue $500, 600, 900 i'm treasury
notes and use them in paying the ex-
penses of the government that they
might find their way into all cham
nels of trade, was advocated by him
as much better solution than the Al
drich bill provides.
He stated that there is now in cir
culation s350,000,00 ia treasury
notes, which cost the government
nothing and which perform all the
functions of money.
This amount, he declared, could be
easily increased to half billion
without in any way disturbing the fl
nances and could not possibly, in any
way. result in a depreciation of cur
rency.

tional treasury notes would depreciate
because we did not have the gold to
redeem them
''If the Aldrlch bill becomes law"
he concluded "the government guar
antees the redemption in gold of the
additional notes issued by the ma
tional banks. Would not this oe as
great strain on the gold reserve as
would the treasury notes?"

est Living American
Statesman"

Milwaukee. Feb. 14.--Wheu the
select delegates to the national con-
vention at Denver, resumed its ses-
sion here today, Evan Evans Of Bar
aboo was made chairman. He made
a lengthy speech touching on various
national issues, sharply criticiziug the
Republican party, and concluded with
a glowing tribute to w. j, Bryan.
Resolutions were unanimously
adopted eulogizing Bryan. The re-
port of the resolutions committee said
in part:
1--WE regard with just pride and
admiration that typical American,
that matchless leader, who has braved
his way to wholesome public opinion
and who has so ably championed the
cause of the common people.
His zeal and undying energy, his
wise and far-seeing statesmanship
stamp him as the greatest living
American statesman and endear him
to all those who believe In equal
rights to all and special privileges TO
none.
Make IL Unanimous
1--WE therefore declare that we are
unanimously in favor of that great
commoner, william Jennings Bryan,
as the next Democratic candidate for
the presidency of the United States,
and we hereby instruct our delegates
to the national convention at Denver
to vote for William Jennings Bryan
as the nominee for president, first,
last and all the time"
The reading of the report was ac-
companied by cheers and applause
from the delegates, and the mention
of Bryan's name was sufficient cause
for an outburst of applause which
drowned the voice Of the reader. The
resolution was put to vote but on
motion was adopted unanimously, and
not one of the delegates made a re-
mark derogatory to the Nebraskan.
