PINCHOT SPEAKS
ABOUT THE HOME
ADDRESS AT NATIONAL CONSER-
WALTON CONGRESS-.
Words of Chief Forester Of the
United States at Spokane Today.
HE OPENED THE CONVENTION

Spokane, Wash. Aug 1O.-Mr.
lGinord Pinchot, United States for
lester and chairman of the national
conservation congress. which con-
vened here today. delivered the fol-
lowlng address:
The most valuable citizen Of this
or any other country Is the man who
owns the land from which he makes
his living. No other man has such a
stake In the country. No other man
lends such steadlness and stability to
| our national life. Therefore, no
other question concerns us more inti-
mately than the question OF homes
/ Permanent homes for ourselves, our
children, and our nation-this Is the
central problem. The policy OF ma
tlonal irrigation Is of value to the
United States in very many ways, but
the greatest OF all Is this. that ma
tional irrigation multiplies the men
who own the land from which they
make their living. The old saying.
l"Who ever heard OF a man shoulder
ing his gun TO fight for his boarding
house" reflects this great truth, that
no man Is so ready to defend his
country. not only with arms. but with
his vote. and his contribution to pub
Tie opinion as the man with a perma-
nent stake IN IL. as the man who
owns the land from which he makes
his living.
Our country began as a nation OF
farmers. During the periods that
gave Il It's character. when our indie
Pendence was won and when our
union was preserved. We were pre-
emlnently a nation OF farmers. We
can not. and We ought not. TO con-
tinue exclusively. or even chiefly, an
agricultural country. because one
man can raise food enough for many,
But the farmer who owns his land is
still the backbone OF this nation: and
one OF the things We want most Is
more OF him.
The man on the farm Is valuable
to the nation. like any other citizen.

character. ability. and patriotism, but
unlike the other citizens. also in pro-
portion 10 his attachment to the soil.
That is the principal spring OF his
steadiness his sanity. his simplicity
and direotness, and many OF his other
desirable qualities. lie Is the first OF
home makers.
To achieve this or ans other great
result. straight thinking and strong
action are necessary and the straight
thinking comes first. To make this
country what we need 20 have Il. We
must think clearly and directly about
our problems, aud above all we must
understand what the real problems
are. The great things are few and
simple. but they are too often hidden
by false issues, and conventional. un-
real thinking The easiest way to
hide neal issue always has been.
and always Will be. TO replace II with
a false one.
