CHICAGO, May 4. - George
Roberts, president of the CONNER
cial National bank, presided at the
Sessions Of the Rational Peace con-
ference here today. Rev. Mr..
Beals of New York, read a speech
of Marcus M. Marks of New York,
who discussed the subject, "Busi-
ness Men Want Peace" dwelling
on the necessity of peace to pros
perity. He said in part:
1--WE want peace first because
we are men and are moved by the
Humanitarian instinct that rebels
against the novel butcheries OF
war, and secondly, our business is
bound to be seriously injured by
the interruption Of the friendly re-
lations between nations.
A Practical Proposition.

Public Schools Join.
The public schools also Joined
in the parade, Superintendent Yo-
der ordering the schools all closed
at 2 o'clock so the children could
take part. Most of the children,
hwever, Joined individual Sunday
school classes, the majority of
them being members somewhere
in the city.
The parade was headed by a
band and division was led by the
boys band of Central Methodist
church. The little fellows were
given rousing reception along
the line of march.
| The procession would not have
won first prize for keeping step,
cacording to an army drill master,
but for enthusiasm it beat any
thing ever turned out by Uncle
Sam.
Triumphant March.
Down Ninth street to Pacific
avenue, south on Pacific to Thir-
teenth, up to c and then to Wright
park the little feet, carried the
shouting thousands and at the
park a special program was ready
with the orchestra from the state
training school as a prominent
feature.
The convention promises to be
the best ever held by the associa-
ton and it is expected it will give
an impetus to teh work here that
will bring thousands more of the
young people into the Sunday
school rooms.

Under the previous administra-

| Under the present administra-
ition any doubt as to the right of
the president of the United States
to make executive orders with
drawing public lands, is resolved
in favor of the doubt-that is, In
favor of the predatory interests.
The previous administration had
a high regard for the public's in
tterest in seeing that the public do
main be conserved.
The present administration has
a high regard for the TECHNICAL
ties of law.
The previous administration was
bitterly condemned by railroad
corporations, corporate land
thieves and members of con qress
who represented interests of this
character.
The present administration is
cordially Endorsed by these same
people.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May A.
Is Roosevelt's policy of conserva-
|tion to be thrown to the dogs of
monopoly? Are the ungrabbed
natural resources of the nation 70
be handed over to the moneyed
looters to be exploited against
the American people during all fu-
|ture time?
fear so, but I took my fears to
Secretary r. A. Ballinger of the
interior department, hoping that
he would explain them away.
Ballinger is the man for whom
u. A. Garfield was displaced in
Taft's cabinet. He is charged with
that great task which was SO we'll
begun by the sturdy veteran Ethan
Allen Hitchcock. He is the man
on whom the public relies to hold
in check the predatory interests
the thieving railroads and the
grabbing corporations. He is
chief custodian of the public lands.
] put my question squarely:
"Mr. Secretary, it is said that
there has been complete reversal
|of your predecessors policies. The
numerous restorations to the pub
lie domain of land previously with
drawn appears to support that no.
ton. / would be glad to know au-
thoritatively what are the present
policies"
The secretary said he did not
wish to talk for publication, and
that he would not consent to be
quoted. This he later modified,
permitting this much to quotation
marks:
at is not true that I am not for
conservation policies. Conservation
is regarded by this office as of the
highest moment. Everything is be-
ing done looking to a proper con-
servation of the public wealth."
I called the attention of Secre-
tary Ballinger to the fact that
there were almost daily restora-
lions of lands which had been
withdrawn for power site exam
nation. Also that 1900, 900 acres
of Ignite land in North Dakota
were thrown open to entry. Also
that lands in Wyoming and Idaho
supposed to contain phosphate had
been restored. And finally that
lands withdrawn for future rec
lamation works were being sent
back again to the public domain.
The secretary then explained
that he had given orders for a
general examination of lands
suitable for power site purposes
and valuable for other reasons,
and had recommended that con-
|gress pass some law for their fu>
ture disposition. r
Meantime" said I, Executive
orders looking to their conserva-
|tion will be suspended?
To this the secretary replied in
the affirmative.
This is the milk In the cocoa
nut.
1t was on that point that Sec
|retary Ballinger split with Sec
'etary Garfield. The original dis
agreement took place when Mr..
'Ballinger was commissioner of the
land office and Garfield was Sec
rotary of interior. Mr.. Ballinger
claimed that there was no author
ity in law for the action taken by
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Garfield, in the withdrawal of
public lands valuable for power
site purposes, and for other rea-
sons.
President Roosevelt said he
would take a chance on the law.
$50 he withdrew the lands and
asked congress for a law to gov
ern their ultimate disposition.
Congress failed to act.
1t is habit which congress
has.

were withdrawn and examined Aft
