the members of our Legislature. appre-

this country of Japanese laborers,

There can be no doubt that the Jap

its people from emigrating to our COUP

Congress of Nations Peril

President in Special Message Tells
Congress of Nations Peril.
President Roosevelt in a special mes
sage to Congress urged upon the nation
the necessity for conserving its re-
sources, and told Of the duty of the
citizens of to-day to the generations TO
come. The message transmitted to Con-
gress the report of the National Con-
servation Commission showing the peril
confronting the country if the present
waste is permitted to continue.
1--WE should do all in our power to
develop and protect Individual liberty,
individual initiative, but subject al
ways TO the need of preserving and
promoting the general good,'' said the
President when necessary, the pri-
vate right must yield, under due proc
ess of law and with proper compensa-
ton. to the welfare of the common
wealth. The man who serves the COM
munity greatly should be greatly re-
warded by the community; as there is
great inequality of service, so there
must be great inequality of reward"
In the message the President review
ed practically all the accomplishments
of his administration and asked for
the development of the inland water
ways and for the preservation of the
forests and minerals, besides making a
plea for the square deal"
Some of the striking points made in
the message as showing the reckless
waste of the natural resources of the
nation were as follows:
Mineral production of United States,

than S3OO.O00.OOO.
