Address of Andrew Carnegie.
In concluding his paper Andrew Car
negie, after giving an exhaustive statement
Of conditions and supply of minerals, said;
No practical man can study our mineral
supplies without seeing that they are melt
ing away under our national growth at
geometrically increasing rate, and without
realizing that unless the loss is checked
his descendants must suffer; nor can he
consider ways Of preserving the supply
without realizing the need of wider and
deeper knowledge than we now possess. II
was not resources alone that gave this
country its prosperity, but inventive skill
and industrial enterprise applied to its re-
sources. individually we have been both
forehanded and foreminded nationally we
have been forehanded chiefly through the
accident of discovery by John Smith and
yet foreminded. So far as our mineral
wealth Is concerned the need of the day

In conclusion, Mr.. President and govern
ors of our states, It seems to me our
duty is:
First, conservation of forests. for no for
ests, no long navigable rivers, no rivers,
no cheap transportation.
Second to systematize our water trans
portation, putting the whole work in the
hands OF the reclamation service, which
has already proved itself highly capable
by It's admirable work. Cheap water trans
portation for heavy freight brings many
advantages and means great saving Of our
ore supplies. Railroads require much steel;
water does not.
Third. conservation of soil. More than
thousand millions of tons of our richest
soil are swept into the sea every year,
clogging the rivers on its way and filling
our harbors Less soil. less crops; less
crops less commerce, less wealth.

which this nation is not yet awake, but to
which It will awake in time, and with
which 1t must hereafter grapple IL It is
to live-the problem of national efficiency
the patriotic duty of insuring the safety
and continuance of the nation. When the
people of the United States consciously un-
dertake to raise themselves as citizens,
and the nation and the states in their
several spheres, to the highest pitch of
excellence in private, state and national
life, and to do this because it is the first
of all the duties of true patriotism then
and not till then the future of this nation,
in quality and in time, will be assured.
President to Continue Commission.
The disposition to express frankly their
sentiments was indulged in on the part of
the governors throughout the presidents
speech, which occupied ten minutes short
of an hour. He was applauded and cheered
many times and after giving a pralsing
estimate of the work of the Inland Water
ways commission, he remarked:
1.-The commission ought to be perpetu-
ated and If congress does not see fit to do
so, will do it myself" The gathering was
fairly stampeded by cheers. applauses,
shouts and laughter.
When the president had finished he made
the suggestion that at the afternoon ses-
sion a committee on resolutions be ap-
pointed. Merely as a suggestion, he said.
the following names for this committee had
been mentioned: Governard Blanchard of
louisiana Fort of New Jersey, Cutter of
Utah, Davidson of Wisconsin, and Ansel
of South Carolina. After the president had
stated, further, that it might expedite the
work of the conference to have all sug-
gestions for action referred TO this COM
mittee he yielded the floor to Governor
Johnson of Minnesota, who moved that the
suggestion of the president regarding the
committee and its personnel be adopted
by the convention. This motion was put
by the president and carried without dis
sension or opposition. The suggestion of
the president that all speeches by experts
be limited to twenty minutes duration also
was made a rule OF the convention on
motion of Governor Johnson.
Informal Reception.
The session ended at noon when the
president and vcepresident gave an in
formal reception to those who had at
tended the meeting. Immediately after
wards he met the governors, members of
the supreme court and others who werc
his dinner guests last night in the blue
drawing room. After the reception tho
governors assembled on he portico Of the
White House with the president and vice
president and the specially invited guests
which included William ]. Bryan, Andrew
Carnegie, j. ]. Hill and Gustave schwab
where several group photographs were
made. While the group was being formed

on the right of the platform, with the
vice president on his left, Rev. Everett
Hale, chaplain Of the senate, arose and,
leaning with one arm on the back of the
presidents chair read portion Of the
scripture descriptive of the promised land
and then pronounced a feeling invocation,
IN which he asked heavens help in the de-
lberations to be had.
At the conclusion of the invocation the
president, without preliminary ceremony,
began his address to the governors. He
said
II welcome you to this conference at the
White House. You have come hither at
my request so that we may join together
20 consider the question of the conserva-
! tion and uso OF the great fundamental
sources of wealth Of this nation. So vital
is this question, that for the first time in
our history the chief executive officers of
the states separately and OF the states to-
gether forming the nation, have met to
consider It.
with the governors come men from
each state chosen for their special ac-
evaintance with the terms Of the problem
that is before us. Among them are ex-
perts In natural resources and representa-
tives of national organizations concerned
in the development and use of these re-
sources; the senators and representatives
: In congress; the supreme court, the cabinet,
and the Inland Waterways commission
have likewise been invited to the confer
I ence. which is therefore national in a
peculiar sense.
This conference on the conservation of
natural resources is in effect a meeting of
the representatives OF all the people Of the
United States called to consider the weight
lest problem now before the nation; and
the occasion for the meeting lies in the
fact that the natural resources Of our coun-
try are in danger Of exhaustion If we per-
NIT the old wasteful methods of exploiting
them longer to continue.

Mississippi Governor in Chair.
President Roosevelt opened the after
noon session of the conference at 2:4O
o'clock. He called Governor Noel of
Mississippi TO the chair to preside, explain
ing that his duties would not permit of his
being In constant attendance The presi-
dent expressed the belief that the conyen-
tion would be glad to hear Mr.. Bryan
toward the end Of the afternoon session.
which invitation the latter gracefully ac-
cepted. The president also requested Gov
ernor johnson of Minnesota to preside at
tomorrow's meeting, and he accepted Both
suggestions were greeted with tremendous
applause
Introductory to his remarks on the con-
servation of ores and minerals, Mr.. Car
Eegie departed somewhat from his written
remarks when he declared that most presi-
dents follow precidents, but that President
Roosevelt initiates them,
He expressed a hope that when the con-
ference adjourned 1t will do so at the call
of the president.
Wnste of Fuel Resources.
]. C. White, state geologist of West Vir-
ginia, spoke on 1.-The Waste of Our Fuel
Resources" He detailed the practices,
especially in coal and oil Industries, clos
ing as follows:
What will It profit this snation to have
won the wreath of industrial supremacy, If
in our thirst for gold and sudden riches We
permit corporate greed, as well as indi-
vidual avarice, and selflshness to waste and
deVastate the very sources of our pros
perity? For just as sure as the sun shines,
and the sum of two and two is four, unless
this insane riot of destruction and waste of
our fuel resources which has characterized
the last century, shall be speedily ended,
our industrial power and supremacy viii,
after meteor-like existence, revert before
the close of the present century to those
nations that conserve and prize at their
proper value their priceless treasures Of
carbon.
Whatever is possible in the shape of legis-
lation for the protection Of our fuel re-
sources should be done by the Individual
states which you represent Twenty-Five
coal and twentyfour Of these produce
more than 100000 tons annually, while
practically the same number produce vast
quantities of both petroleum and natural
gas The percentage OF coal left In the
ground beyond recovery, as we have seen,
varies from 40 to 70 in the different fields,
to say nothing of the wasteful and ex-
travagant use of the portion extracted,
while the waste of natural gas, the most
precious fuel of all, is so vast that no one
can even approximate the percentage. The
indeed formidable. The forces OF greed and
sefishness are so entrenched behind cor
porate power and influence, that to attack
them may often appear to you as useless
your states and country L adture you to
take up this fight for the conservation OF
our fuel resources with the determination
and aVarice which are so rapidly Bapping

greatness capitulate, and ag4er to ~-4a &c
