Washington.-With the transmission of
the report of the national conservation
commission and accompanying papers,
President Roosevelt also sent message
to congress. The following is a COM
prehensive synopsis of the document:
The president declares his entire con-
currence with the statements and con-
ciusions OF the report and proceeds:
1T is one of the most fundamentally
important documents ever laid before the

Knox Ideal Secretary of State.

No one worth listening to has yet
suggested that Mr.. Taft made a mis-
take when he appointed Senator Knox
as secretary of state. The foreign re-
lations of the country have no longer
the vague and intangible significance
that they had few years ago before
America acquired dependencies

Knox as guilty of an indiscretion. No
one can imagine him as exceeding the
pace of the most cautious and con-
servative diplomacies. He will never
be detected in an impetuosity or a

CATCH AT A STRAW
DEMOCRATIC HOPE OF REMAIN
ING A PARTY.
Henry D. Clayton Urges His Fellows
to Frame Complete Tariff Bill
Obvious Weakness in
the Purpose.

A party that ignores the tariff as a
leading issue ceases to be a national
party. The Democratic party has long
ceased to have claim upon the nation.
because it has turned aside TO adventi-
tious issues instead of pursuing the
highway of political expression. This
is the view taken by Henry ID. Clayton,
chairman of the Democratic caucus
of the house of representatives. He
urges his fellows to frame a com
plete tariff bill in order to meet the Re-
publicans point by point with counter
schedules. There would certainly be
no objection on the part of the Repub-
llcans for the Democrats to take this
course. The tariff is national ques-
ton, more broadly SO, perhaps, than
any other. The more enlightening the
discussion of it the better.
Yet the Democrats have no position
on the subject They may claim, as
they will, that they are a party for
this, that or the other kind of tariff;
the fact is that Mr.. Bryan so subordi-
mated the issue that the genius of the
Democrats for making free trade pleas
has ceased. They have gotten out of
line with this subject in pursuing will
o'-the-wisps that Bryan originated. The
bulk of the Democratic party was
ready enough to follow these false
fires. 1t had renounced the attitude of
Cleveland upon the subject, and, there
fore, had only TO accept in effect the
attitude of the Republicans, or go into
the bush to hunt for new game. They
chose to do the latter. Now that the
game bag is utterly empty, they seek
to take a pot-shot at the tariff.
Mr. Clayton would have his party
cease to be party of opposition and
assume positive stand If it as
sumed the stand on the tariff that the
Democratic platform advocated. it
would discriminate between articles
upon the principle that the one or the
other did not furnish trust material.
This would not by any means be franz
ing a new measure from agates to
zinc" There is no authority in the
party platform for a thoroughg going
tariff bill. If the caucus should adopt
such a course of action it would be
but adding futility to futility.
The question behind the proposal of
Mr.. Clayton is: Has the Democracy
enough inherent vitality left to become
a really national party? The intention
of the conservatives is, of course, to
seek to bring the old position to the
fore. The intent is to enable the
Democrats during the next four years
to so regalvanize their old principles
as to throw off the incubus of Bryan
ism. This would be a feat upon the
accomplishment of which the Demo
Gratis would be subjects Of congratula
ton. But the obvious purpose and the
inherent weakness of tariff fight
would discount the efforts of the
party's representatives in congress. 1t
would be feeble and ineffective eX
hibition, and Tor this very reason
might afford Mr.. Bryan new ground
to claim that without him the party
is moribund.

Six professors Of the State College
of Agriculture are making a tour
through the farming regions of Penn
sylvania on a special educational
train" furnished by a big railroad
company. The trip combines instruc-
tion through lectures and object les
sons in the shape of all sorts of up-to-
date equipment for farm work, carried
on the train. One of various objects
in view is encouraging the cultivation
of alfalfa, the hardy grass which is pc
culiarly valued as a hay producer.
There are also suggestions for increas-
ing the output of dairy products, the
care of live stock and other matters of
practical moment. AS the people flock
to the train, view the exhibits and lis
ten with deep interest to the lectures
it is apparent that they are quite will
ing to pick up hints that may be valu-
able in their business.

United States Always for Peace.

Mr.. Taft cabled a Paris newspa.
per, in answer to a question. that his
most earnest New Years wish was for
the preservation of the peace of the
world. And as far as the influence of
the United States is concerned, it will
always be thrown on the side of peace,
