terial foundations of prosperity.
Third, TO see to it that the great
natural resources SO developed and
protected shall be used permanently
/ for the welfare of the many instead
of for the profit of the few.
The conservation idea covers a
wide field. 1t aims at the greatest
good and of the greatest number for
the longest time. It is simple, def
mite and direct. 1t advocates the use
of foresight, prudence, thrift and in
telligence in public affairs for the
same reasons which lead us to exer-
else these familiar virtues in our pri-
vate business. 1t proclaims equal
right and the duty of the people to
take thought and act for the benefit
of the people. therefore, in word,
II demands the application OF common
sense to the common problems for the
common good.
rhe principles of conservation,
thus described, have a general appli-
cataioD upon the breadth and value
of the country.
THE conservation point of view is
as valuable in education as 1t is in
forestry, II applies TO the body poll
tic as Il does to the earth and it's min
erals. Municipal franchises are as
properly within it's sphere as fran
chises for water power. It is as pat
ent to the subject OF good roads as
to that OF waterways, and the training
OF our people in effective citizenship
is as germane to II as the increase of
productiveness in our soils. Conser-
vation, the application of common
sense to the common problems for the
common good, will lead directly to
efficiency wherever IL is given con-
troll. We are coming to see that con-
servation will have two great results
to conserve the natural resources
which guarantee our welfare and to
cad our people to greater wisdom and
effectiveness in every department of
our common life. The outcome OF
conservation is national efficiency.
President Roosevelt himself said
that the policy OF conservation was
the most important OF the age.
"As nation we are fortunate at
this time (as | said in my recent
speech az Spokane) in this fact above
all others. that the great man who
gave his name to these policies has
for his successor another great presi-
dent whose administration is most
solemnly pledged to support them"

The captain of a Pacific mail liner
was annoyed during a recent voyage
by the persistent and garrulous chatter
of a not overwise passenger When
ever the captain appeared on deck his
prosecutor was in the habit of relating
some quotation or inane or long-drawn-
out yarn" One day, says writer in
the San Francisco Call, the wind kicked
up a nasty sea, and the vessel tossed
pretty vigorously
The captain, in dripping oilskins, his
weatherbeaten cheeks glowing from the
flashing of the spray-laden gale, came
down from the bridge, and at the sa-
loon companionway was waylaid by
the talkative passenger.
The gentleman's complexion was a
muddy green, and it required no ex-
perienced eye to see that his system
was badly shaken up.
Morning, captain!" he said.
"Morning!" growled the captain.

the man. 1--WE crossed the Atlantic a
dozen times in weather often worse
than this, but 1 was never seasick be-

BOTH FACTIONS AFTER AzEF
Government and Fighting Socialists
Seeing Head of Spy of secret
Police.

ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 5.-Eugene Azef
is now being hunted by the government as
wen as by the fighting socialists, the or
ganization that has declared him g traitor
and condemned him TO death He was for
long one of the lseders of the socialists.
but at the SAM time he acted as spy for
the government. He is now a fugitive. and
recently has been reported in Switzerland.
The government has decided. on account
of the revelations concerning his terrorls-
tic activity, to withdraw its protection and
make every effort to apprehend him. The
secret police, deeply compromised in the
Azef revelations, also will be thoroughly
investigated. Premier stolypin, in a state
ment TO his colleagues at a private sitting
Of the cabinet, declared that although Sc
eret agents abroad were Indispensable and
the employment OF r~enegades a regretable
necessity, the work of provocative agents
as set forth in the records of the Azef case
would, under no conditions, be counte-
nanced. He expressed himself in favor Of
the ventilating of the entire affair in open
court as the only way Of vindicating the
government and satisfying public opinion.
N. Lopukine, the ex-chief Of police, who
also is charged with treason, is being held
in close confinement. He is not permitted
TO see a lawyer. 1t is discovered that he
was sending letters 70 his wife through
secret channels and the directors of the
prison where he is being held were at once
removed.

TO work under the old scale and today the
strikers gathered in the vicinity. and when
the n~onunion men appeared they were met
with q shower of stones. The constabulsrY

that fully as many will attend the spe-
cial meeting in Norfolk. There are two
reasons why the forthcoming meeting
will be of Importance. One is that IL
will be the first convention of these
crafts in north Nebraska and the other
is that the principal matter TO be con-
sidered, that of pending legislation, is
of vital Importance TO every member OF
