jured by neglect and by the division OF
responsibility and utter lack of sys-
TEN in dealing with them, that there Is
less navigation on them now than
there was fifty years ago. Finally, we
began with soils of unexampled fer
tility and we have so impoverished
them by injudicious use and by fail
ing TO check erosion that their crop
producing power is diminishing instead
of increasing. In a word. we have
thoughtlessly, and to large degree
unnecessarily, diminished the re-
sources upon which not only our pros
perity but the prosperity of our chill
dren must always depend.
Lavish Use of Resources.
1--WE have become great because of
the lavish use of our resources, and
we have just reason to be proud OF our
growth. But the time has come to in
quire seriously what will happen when
our forests are gone. when the coal,
the iron, the oil, and the gas are eX-
hausted, when the soils shall have
been still further impoverished and
washed into the streams. poluting 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 now as nation to exercise the
same reasonable foresight in dealing
with our great natural resources that
would be shown by any prudent man
in conserving and wisely using the
property which contains the assurance
of we'll being for himself and his chil-
dren.
The natural resources 1 have enum-
Grated can be divided into two sharp
ly distinguished classes accordingly as
they are or are not capable of renewal.
Mines if used must necessarily be eX-
hausted The minerals do not and can
not renew themselves. Therefore in
dealing with the coal, the oil, the gas,
the iron, the metals generally, all chat
we can do is to try to see that they are
wisely used. The exhaustion is GER
tain to come.
THE second class of resources con-
sists of those which can not only be
used in such manner as to leave them
undiminished for our children, but
can actually be improved by wise use.
The soil, the forests, the waterways,
come IN lIllS Category. LII dSdiiIS NASiA
mineral resources, man is able to i'm
prove on nature only by putting the
resources to beneficial use which in
the end exhausts them; but in dealing
with the soil and it's products man
can improve on nature by compelling
the resources to renew and even re-
construct themselves in such manner
as to serve increasingly beneficial uses
while the living waters can be so
controlled as to multiply their bene-
fits.
Problems Pioneers Did Not Have.
Neither the primitive man nor the
pioneer was aware of any duty to pos
terity in dealing with the renewable
resources When the American settler
felled the forests he felt that there was
of forest left for the sons who
came after him. When he exhausted
the soil of his farm he felt that his son
could go west and take up another. So
it was with his immediate successors.
When the soil,wash from the farmers
fields choked the neighboring river he
thought only of using the railway
rather than boats for moving his pro-
duce and supplies.

President of homeopathic Society
Flaws State Examination.

Des Moines, May 13.-On his ad-
dress at the opening of the thirty
ninth annual convention of the Hahne-
President T. F. II. Spreng launched
into a general condemnation of the
state medical laws, which, he declared,
place every stumbling block in the
path of the young physician. Allo-
pathic physicians also came in for a
scoring by the officer of the society
and their methods of trying to sup
press homeopathy were excoriated. DR..
Spreng suggested several remedies for
the license evil and resolutions may be
adopted by the society and used as a
weapon in forcing legislation.
The attendance at the convention is
greater than at any other meeting ever
held by the state society. More than
200 persons were in attendance, a num-
tber in excess of that expected by the
officers.
DR.. Malcolm Royal, secretary, and
DR.. G. A. Huntoon, treasurer, both of
Des Moines, created a feeling of satis-
faction among the delegates by the
reading of their annual reports. DR..
the financial standing of the society,
while Dr. Huntoons paper showed
the increase in membership as well as
the success of the Iowa Homeopathic
Journal, the official organ of the as
sociation, which was published recent
ly for the first time.
"There is no evil with which we have
to contend like that of the state nedi-'
cal laws" said DR.. Spreng in speaking
of the license" evil. I could never see
why state should make law COM
pelling men who graduate from stand
ard schools to stand examination be-
fore they can take up practice. 1t is
reflection upon the college from which
they graduated and virtually means
that the centers of medical education
cannot be relied upon to turn out the
finished product. Young doctors are
now forced to go to all kinds of trou-
BILE to pass examinations. 1 can't see
why it is that physicians should not
be treated as fairly as lawyers and
others. A man can graduate from the
Harvard law school and enter the bar
in any state. Were he the graduate OF
an eastern school of medicine, he
would be forced to stand examination.
zone cannot but deplora the manner
in which the allopaths have tried in
many ways to harm our profession and
those who follow it in the past. Every
length was gone to and every trick
tried, but homeopathy as demonstrated
one hundred and fifty years ago. still
lives, and, like truth endl;res forever.
There is now a dirth of homeopathic
physicians, but the sixteen big insti-
tutions of the country are turning
them out as fast as possible. The de-
mand is constantly growing, but the
time will come when the supply will
meet the call for homeopaths That
is the time that homeopathy will be, the
only recognized law of cure"
