ROYCROFT PHILOSOPHY
BY FRA ELBE R TUS

So peculiar, complex, and
wonderful is the web Of life,
that our very blunders, weak
nesses and mistakes are woven
in and make the fabric stron-
ger.
Hate may animate, but only
love inspires.
For merit there is a recon.
pense in sneers, and a benefit
in sarcasms, and a compensa-
ton in hate; for when these
things get too pronounced a
champion appears.
The men who live in history
are those whose lives have
been we'll written.
Hope pushed to t'other side is
cowardice.

his own thinking is an site

When the conference Of governors
OF states and men distinguished in po-
litical life of the nation met at the
White House in Washington. May 49,
14-15. in behalf of the preservation of
the country's natural resources, the
strangest, and, perhaps, the most i'm
portant convention ever held in the
capitol was inaugurated.
Among those invited to attend by
5ers Of the cabinet, judges of the su-
preme court of the United States,
governors of all the states in the
union, including the executives Of
Alaska and Hawaii, and Andrew Car
negie, William Jennings Bryan, James
j. Hill, the railroad magnate; John
Mitchell, the labor leader, and prom
inent scientists and business men
from all over the country.
Political differences, opposing issues
of national questions and business
rivalry were laid aside to discuss the
ways and means of conserving the nat
urAl resources of the country.
President Roosevelt opened the con-
vention with an exposition of the why
and wherefore of the conference and
an outline of his views of the mat
ter. While on his trip down the Mis-
sissippi river last fall, with the gov
ernors of 16 states, under the auspices
Of the Inland Waterways association,
he is said to have obtained the
nucleus of the idea which resulted in
the present conference.
It will be remembered that Presi-
dent Roosevelt on that trip expressed
the opinion that the question Of the
conservation of the natural resources
of the country was of more import
ance than the regulation of the rate
question.
A number Of papers, prepared at
the presidents request were read
and discussed.
James j. Hill, the railroad king,
spoke on Relations Between Rail and
water Transportation" His paper
dealt with such subjects as the
growth of rail transportation, its dis
tribution and extent of systems, cost
and present value, traftic ana earning
capacity, estimated cost of the cultiva,
tion of trees for railroad ties and
their preservation, increasing railways
to meet prospective requirements. etc,
Regarding water transportation Mr.
Hill dealt with its cost, present facil'
tiles, relation to rail transportation,
pressing lines Of development regu'
lation by business interests or by law
influence of cheapened transportation
On production, etc.
Under the general head of land
resources, Prof T. G. Chamberlain OF
the University of Chicago. In paper

The question Of Forests" was ex-
pounded by r. A. Long. president Of
the Long-Bell Lumber company Of
Kansas City, Mo-. who explained their
early use and destruction, present ex-
tent and value, rate of consumption,
estimated duration, prospective prices
of forest products, the influence of
forests on soil, ground water and
springs, rivers, floods and low water,
waterway Improvement and naviga-
tion. and the relation between forest

merce and population.
DR.. George w. Kober Of Washington
in a paper on Sanitation" spoke of
the development of systems of com.
munity water supply, relation between
purity and clarity of water for COM
munity supply, mortality and disease
due to impure water, and the action
required in the interests of the public
health.
Reclamation" by Hon. George c.
Pardee of Oakland, Cal, dealt with
the extent of arid and semi-arid re.
gions, development and extent of ir-
rigation, growth of concepts concern
ing water-rights and water as a basis
of property, influence of irrigation on
production, commerce, population,
consumption of water and other re-

sure you that I heartily agree with
your conclusion that the conservation
of the natural resources of our country
presents problem demanding the
best thought of our times is superfu-
Gus. We have been exploiting our
resources with no thought of the NOR
row, and the claims Of posterity upon
us should certainly be taken into ac-
count"
In his letter of invitation to the
conference President Roosevelt said:
There is no other question now
before the nation of equal gravity
with the question of conservation Of
our natural resources. and it is the
plain duty of us who, for the moment,
are responsible, to take inventory of
the natural resources which have been
handed down to us, to forecast the
needs of the future. and so handle the
great sources OF our prosperity as
not to destroy in advance all hope of
the prosperity of our descendants"
The need for such a conference is
illustrated py few facts vouched for
by Investigators. Government experts
say that between 300,000,00 and AGO..
000, 900 tons of coal were lost in 1906
by penny wise and pound foolish
methods, and that the total so wasted
since the beginning of the industry
is $4,000, 100000 tons. Millions upon
millions Of horsepower are going to
waste through failure properly to
utilize and conserve the waterpower Of
the United States.
The construction of reservoirs at
the sources of streams in which food
waters may be stored to be released
at periods of low water is expected
not only to keep the waters at con.
tinuous level, but prevent the destruc-
tion of property by floods, maintain
constant levels for navigation and to
develop water power.
At the present rate OF timber con-
sumption it is estimated that the price
of every kind of lumber will be about
double the present price only one de-
cade from today.
1t is said that the total iron ore
available in the world to-day is u.s.
00.000,000 tons, of which three-fifths
is in the United States. Should the
rate of consumption continue to in
crease in the United States In the
same ratio that 1t has in the course Of
the last score Of years, at the end Of
two centuries there would be no
more ore to be mined.
In the United States there is an area
of liz, 100000 acres of land susceptible
to reclamation by irrigation. and 500.-
100000 acres of western public range
which may be made available for in
creased production of meat by restrict.
ing the grazing and reseeding portions
which have been destroyed by unre-
stricted grazing. With this area

mated that its meat producing capao

tion in the United States, price, esti.

of exhaustion of standard minerals.
On May IL President Roosevelt en-
tertained at dinner the cabinet, the
members of the supreme court, the
governors and the other more dis
tinguished guests. Clifford Pinchot,
chief of the forestry division, gave a
reception to the governors and the In
land Waterways association on May
IA. On the afternoon of May Is Mrs
Roosevelt gave a garden party on the
White House grounds for all the dele
gates to the convention. At the vari.
Gus hotels in Washington arrange

tions and dinners.
All of the governors who accom-
panied President Roosevelt on his Mis-
sissippi river trip last fall were pres
ent. They are: Conner Of Alabama
Broward Of Florida. Deneen of Hi

sas, Blanchard of Louisiana, Folk OF
Missouri, Shelton of Nebraska, Cuny
of New Mexico, Burke of North Da
kota, Frantz of Oklahoma, Chamber
lain of Oregon. Davidson of Wisconsin
and Brooks of Wyoming.
That the conference attracted world
wide interest was evidenced by the
fact that many of the foreign diplo
mats at Washington followed the af
fairs of the convention closely.

the conference arrangements declare

Penny-in-the-slot machines for SELL
ing gas are SO popular in London that
there is almost famine in copper
coins in that city. The British mint
is coming four tons day in an at
tempt to supply the demand. In 1907
1886 tons of pennies were taken from
the automatic gas meters. AS the
meters are opened only once in three
months. it can be seen that the
amount of coin taken out of circula-
ton by them is considerable.

consists of smuggling Japanese girls
into this country and selling them to

nefarious business has been carried
on for years in Pacific coast towns,
but not until recently has any decided
steps been taken to abolish it. With
the capture of Tanaka the traffic will
probably be checked, but the dis.

The plan of the johnson campaign
involves an interesting modification
of the popular view that the nominee
of a party should be the choice of a
majority of it's adherents. His
followers have no hope whatever that
he can attain so enviable an eminence.
His prospects depend altogether upon
the possibility that upon the first bal
lot taken in the democratic convention
Mr.. Bryan cannot poll the vote of full
two-thirds of the convention. That is
why the decision has been reached
that the delegation from Minnesota
shall be devoted Johnson adherents.
The same policy will be pursued in
New York and other eastern states,
where the Bryan candidacy is
assumed not to be unpopular because
it does not recommend itself to the
contingent which insisted on Parker's
nomination and to, those ''business
interests" of which the corporations
are the props. There, as here, the
favorite son, device will be used to
obscure the real purpose of the move
ment which is to secure the nomina-
tion of democratic candidate accept
able to "the system" in case of the
nomination of a republican candidate
favorable to the vigorous prosecution
of the Roosevelt policies. For the
interests have no politics in the old
sense. They are for the interests all
the time and against any candidate
whom they regard as insubordinate.
Thus the Johnson hope, although
rather forlorn one, is that Bryan
will fall short of the two-thirds
demanded by democratic rules, in
which case the interests behind him
vote the phenomenal vote secured in q
republican state, and the. view widely
disseminated that he carries the Scan.
dinavian vote in his vest pocket would
make him formidable compromise

"Money is commencing to seek

for money in the stock markets has
eased up, and they are willing to let
60 for legitimate investments.
Recent bank statements show that
practically all of the banks in the
country have in excess of their full
legal reserve, and are no longer de-
sirous of holding to lot of capital
