Conference of Governors

The conference of the governors at the White
House has closed The Scimitar announced its in
tenton to inform the people of Idaho of the able
part their governor and representatives took at this
great gathering
1t a most important meeting The fact was
recognized and accepted that the different states
must cooperate with the general government in
serving the magnificent natural resources of the
country. The meeting unanimously made "dec1ar-
atom This declaration was most heartily endorsed
by President Roosevelt, and William J. Bryan We
will quote section only of this declaration which
presented by Governor Blanchard of Louisiana:
We declare our conviction that this conservation
of natural resources is subject of transcendent
import lance which should engage unremittingly the
attention OF the nation the states and the people in
earnest cooperation. These natural resources in
cude the land which we live and which yields
our tood the living waters which fertize the soil
supply power and form great avenues of commerce;
the forests which yield the materials for Our homes
prevent erosion of the soil and conserve the nav-
CATION and other uses of our streams and the min
erals which form the basis of our industrial life and
supply us with heat, light and power
The conference made the claim that in the future
there would be harmonious action between the states
and the national government Apparently there were
only two governors of the whole number who did not
agree.
One was Governor Folk of Missouri, who at
tempted to inject the ultra states rights doctrine and
to insist that determination should be had as to
where the power of the general government ended
and the power of the states began under the con-
stut1on 1t is rather hair splitting and out of place
in the consideration of the great questions involved
President Roosevelt, in perfect good temper and TACT
took the ground from under the feet of Governor
Folk by placing the subject under consideration on
the higher plane of our duty to the generations which
are to come after us.
Governor Gooding took up the absolutely TN
enable position that each state should be the sole
lrblter as to what should be done with its natural
eSources, and how they should be disposed of. The
conference was of great value and the newspapers

LACE COATS FOR SPRING.
Beautiful and Desirable Ornament Is
to Be Fashionable.

Cluny lace shows signs of being the
most popular of the laces for summer
suits and wolfe dresses, although dur
Ing the season just passed it has d.
vided honors with the ever fashionable
Irish. Even the lace coats for sum-
mer use are made of this pillow lace,
and during the last three years it
has relegated renaissance lace to it's
proper use for curtains and table COW
ers
Cluny is very beautiful and desir-
able ornament for any costume and
because it is made of a linen thread
1t is especially appropriate as a dec
Grafton for linen dresses. At the same
time it is not as expensive nor as
heavy as the Irish crochet.
Some of the lace coats are tinted to
deep shade of tan, while others of
white are lined with silk in some light
shade. The popularity of cluny will
also prevent coats of embroidered filet
net from coming strongly into vogue,
for the darned net, no matter how
beautiful it may be, always has a
darned look, while lace should really
look like lace.
1t is yet too early to tell definitely
how smart the lace coats will be
made for ordinary wear, but certain
it is that, if they are worn on the
street, they will not be strictly good
form.

The Corsaqe.

1t is only natural that with the prin-
cess and empire gown should come
the silk corsage, that bodice that fits
like a corset and can be made into
one of the most elaborate bits of dress
imaginable. Just now the new corsage
is quite short and it is rather plain
across the front to give princess ef-
feet, but the sides and under-arm
pieces will be furnished with finest
metallic laces and glistening trim
mings of every description. The cor

The New Skirts,

A novelty feature of quite a few
Of the new skirts is that they are
made with an extension above the
waist-line, giving the princess effect.
These new style skirts are also made,
with shoulder straps or epauletes,
forming skeleton bodice, but cut in
one with the skirt and to be worn
over a blouse. Braiding and buttons
are used as a trimming for these
skirts. For the woman who still
clings to the plated effects, a skirt
made with a graduated front panel,
having the upper portion in the form
of a deep-gored yoke, and side and
back plaits, is extremely neat.
