He said that when the people know
exactly what is needed they can then
make their representatives in con-
Eress and the state legislatures do
their intelligent bidding.
Referring to the Cunningham claims
he avoided giving any opinion, but
called attention to the fact that no pri.
yate claims for Alaskan coal lands
have yet been allowed or perfected.
and that whatever the result as to
pending claims, the existing coal land
laws of Alaska are most unsatisfac-
tory and that they should be radically
amended.
On this subject the president says
the United States government has
much to answer for in not giving
proper attention to the government Of
Alaska and the development of its re-
sources for the benefit Of all the peo-
pie Of the country.
The president placed considerable
emphasis upon the need for the avoid.
ance Of acrimony, imputations of bad
faith, and political controversy, in a
gathering of this kind. Conservation,
6e said, is not question Of politics,
Or OF factions, or Of persons, but a
mister that affects the vital welfare
u everybody.

FAVOR FEDERAL CONTROL
OF NATURAL RESOURCES.
The resolutions adopted advocate
federal control of natural resources
and follow closely the ideas of Roose-
welt and Pinchot. They are in part:
Recognizing the natural resources
of the country as the prime bases of
property and opportunity, we hold the
rights of the people in these resources
to be natural and inherent, and justly
inalienable and indefeasible; and we
insist that the resources should and
shall be developed, used and conserved
in ways consistent both with current
welfare and with the perpetuity Of our
people.
Recognizing the waters OF the coun.
try as a great national resource we
approve and endorse the opinion Of
Theodore Roosevelt that all the wa.
tiers belong to all the people and hold
that they should be administered in
the interest Of all the people.
Recognizing the vast economic ben.
eft to the people Of water power de-
rived largely from interstate and
source streams no less than from nav.
igable rivers, we favor federal control
of water power development; we deny
the right of state or federal govern.
ments to continue alternating or con.
veying water by granting franchises
for the use thereof in perpetuity; and
we demand that the use of water
rights be permitted only for limited
periods, with just compensation in the
interests of the people.
Approving the withdrawal of pub.
lie lands pending classification, and
the separation of surface rights from
mineral. we recommend legislation for
the classification and leasing for graz
ing purposes on unreserved public
lands suitable chiefly for this purpose,
subject to the rights of homesteaders
and settlers, or the acquisition thereof
under the land laws of the United
States; and we hold that arid and non.
irrigable public grazing lands should
be administered by the government in
the interest of small stockmen and
homeseekers until they have passed
into the possession Of actual settlers.

semblage who cannot recall the day
when the virgin soil in his locality
did not produce from so to 100 per
cent larger crops than it does today,
| when dense forests covered large
! tracts now a barren waste and when
the bosom of the earth contained un-
told millions Of mineral wealth now
represented on the surface by huge
spoil banks and sunken surfaces. We
remember only too we'll when our fer
tile fields yielded thirty-tive to forty
bushels of wheat to the acre and that
the same fields produced only about
twelve bushels five years ago.
During the past short period OF five
years the average cereal yield Of this
state has been increased more than
five bushels per acre, the corn belt
mas been extended northward more
than 300 miles to the Canadian
boundary by the production of hardy
and early maturing varieties of corn.

cereal production has also affected

grasses. thus largely contributing to
the growth of the dairy industry

Conservation Congress Adopts
Resolutions Declaring for
Federal Control.
MANY N0TABLES ADDRESS
BIG ST. PAUL GATHERING
Excerpts From Speeches Of
Some Of the Prominent
Men in Attendance.

The second National Conservation
congress at St. Paul was one of the
most notable gatherings ever held in
the United States. 1t was attended
by the president Of the United States,
a former president. a score OF state
executives and many other distin-
guished persons in various walks of
life. While there was difference of
opinion expressed by the speakers on
the methods Of applying the conser-
walton idea the main issue at the St.
Paul convention was the question of
federal or state control Of our natural
resources. This question caused a
turmoil during the final hours, al
though it had been apparent for sew
eral days previous that the opponents
OF federal control were in the major
1ty.
The resolutions. as finally adopted,
advocate federal control Of natural re-
sources and follow closely the ideas
OF Roosevelt and Pinchot, although
partial adhesion is given to the CO.
operative control Of navigable waters
between the states and the nation
The reclamation service is endorsed
and the repeal of the stone and timber
act is advocated. The Appalachian
forest reserve is favored, reforestation
is pressed upon state and nation and
the early opening Of Alaska coal fields
under q system Of leasing is favored.
Many notable persons addressed the
congress and brief excerpts from some
Of the addresses follow.
TAFT SEEKS HARMONY IN
CONSERVATION WORK.
President Taft, in his address at the
Conservation congress, referring to the
danger to the state and people at
large from the waste OF national
wealth and the need of some one to
provide remedy, gave due credit to
Theodore Roosevelt, who, he said,
took up the task during the last two
years OF his administration.
The president said he inherited the
conservation policy, that he rejoices
In the heritage, and that he will do all
he can for the cause, not as president
of party, but as president Of the
whole people.
President Taft discussed five differ
ent neutrality-suspicious. lands, min
sral lands, forest lands, coal lands, oil
and gas lands, phosphate lands. Fin.
fishing with these, the subject Of water
power sites was referred to and the
president outlined tie arguments for
and against their control by the states
or the federal government. He re-
served his own opinion, however, and
SAID he would submit the whole mat
ter to congress.

states toward that end should be en-
couraged.
Special interests are attempting to
take refuge behind the doctrine OF
states rights, and there is much hard
fighting ahead.

BEST GOVERNMENT.
Under Democratic Rule-Repub
iicans Always. Associated With
Graft and Corruption.

Graft and Corruption.
The following is taken from a
speech delivered by Senator
Simmons at ,Lilesville last We'd
nesday:
The Republican party has la
ways been associated with graft
and corruption. Since the Dem
ocratlc party has come back in
to power it has built railroads,
factories and cities, macadamized
public highways, paved streets.
This costs millions of dollars.
Where did we get this money?
| we did not have itin our pockets.
We got it by the issue of bono s
which we sold on the market at
price as high as the great State
OF New York. Could we have
gotten it if the Republican party
had been in power? | say no. If
you restore the Republican party
into power you undermine the
foundations which we are build
ing. If you restore the Republi-
can party to power, you run the
risk of saddling debt of $780,
600, 900. Of the change of the
amendment and the loss of pros
porous times.
The Democratic party has
given the best government. No
body has said bad things about
the party. All the Republicans
complain of is the liquor ques-
ton. We have prohibition by
; the overwhelming mandate. A
. large per cent of the Republicans
, are for prohibition. What did
| the Republicans do when in
| power? We indicted them in the
court of public opinion, convicted
them and put stripes on them.
Now they want to be restored in
: places of high power. They say
! they have grown respectable.
! The coon looks the same as it did
in 1893 except the black rings of
his tail. When l think about the
: rottenness of the Republican
i party I get sick.
q will now turn to national
1 issues. The Republican party
t levies tax and has to spend the
v money. Maybe this is the reason
for so great wastefuiness. The

three miners were killed last night by
an explosion of a powder magazine in
the LOO foot level of the Mexican
mine. one of the great Treadwell gold
properties on Douglas Island. Eight
men We're seriously injured and four
of these may die
The last shots had been fired by the
night shift twenty minutes before the
explosion took place. and the men
were assembled at the eleva tor to go

tanned 2.5 pounds of powder. was 80
feet from the place where the men
were standing but every man was
killed or injured.
Most of the miners were foreigners
and only three had families
The man in charge of the magazine

reelection as county treasurer. And

last and final plea for your patronage,
Will say that it has been my earnest
endeaVOr to give to the public an eff

be had. Just how efficient the public
records of this county speak for them
selves. but as a measure of safety
have contributed from my private
means an aggregate Of something ov-
er $500 to the end that Marion
cOunty's finances might be amply
safeguarded. And along this line l
could say more but as the state of
Florida does not exact such outlay on
the part Of its incumbents surely there
is wanting no better evidence of faith
full and conscientious discharge of
duty.
Therefore. if in your judgment such
measures, precautionary and protec-
tive, are in keeping with the reSpOn-
sibilities intrusted to me and worthy
of favora BILE consideration. then I ask
your support and for past favors.
