From time imrnemorial 1t has been the custom to let him that has do what he will with his own; sap 1t, exploit it, wreck it, obliterate 1t. But we are coming to recognize that we cant let that alone, either. Hence the inauguration of the great movement sources; the passage of laws govern ing water powers, and the establish ment of an international propaganda against waste.
 What "Conservstive" Means.
 So might the list be multiplied. The problem of statesmanship is to con- serve and regulate. not to hamper and destroy. The art of legislation is to stimulate and encourage: not to hobble and flay. We continuously hear solemn lips with grave pomposity; one Of the best-abused and most sig niicant words in the language. Your true conservator has a sense of per spective and the historical imagina- tiOn- He has a reverence for eStab- lished institutions, a glory in the past, a Knowledge of the present, and a vision of the future What he has in herited, he would transmit.
