"The idea should not be al
lowed to spread that conserva-
tion is tying up Of the natural
resources of the government for
indefinite withholding from use
and the remission to remote
generations to decide what
ought to be done with these
means Of promoting present
general human comfort and pro-
gress. For, if so, it is certain
to arouse the greatest opposi-
tion to conservation as cause,
and if it were correct express
sion Of the purpose of conser-
vationists 1t ought to arouse
this opposition. Real conser-
vation involves wise, non-Waste-
full use In the present genera
tion, with every possible means
of preservation for succeeding
generations; and though the
problem to secure this end may
be difficult, the burden is on
the present gen Grafton promptly
to solve it and not to run away

II am bound to say that the
time has come for a halt in
general rhapsodies over con-
seryation, making the word
mean every known good in the
world; for, ;.lter the public at
tention has been reused, such
appeals are of doubtful utility
and do not direct the public to
the specific course that the
people should take, or have
their legislators take, in order
to promote the cause of conser-
walton.
/ beg, of you, therefore, when
men come forward to suggest
evils that the promotion of con-
servation is to remedy, that you
invite them to poi--t out the
specific evils and the specific
remedies; that you invite them
to come down to details in or
der that their discussions may
flow into channels that shall De
useful rather than into periods
that shall be eloquent and en-
tertainirg, without shedding
real light on the subject"

Fargo, N. D.. Sent. 5.-Great prepa-
rations have been made for the Labor
day celebration and reception to
Roosevelt. The program of the days
events called for Roosevelt's first ap-
pearance at Fargo college at the laying
of the corner stone of the library build
ing and to make a short speech. "A pa
rade was next with the labor organiza7
tions at the head. They were follow
ed by sixty automobiles with Roose-
Welt in the first one.
Following the parade a crowd assem-
bled at Island park, where Roosevelt
made his address. He will attend q
dinner this evening and at II o'clock
will leave for ST. Paul.
AT the laying of the cornerstone of
the library, Governor Burke of, North
Dakota spoke in plimentary terms
OF Roosevelt, as did Representative
Hanna. President Creager OF Fargo
college, who introduced Roosevelt,
paid a. warm tribute to the former
president. Roosevelt spoke on educa-
ticn:
Quiet Sunday Plans Upset.
The people of parts Of South Dakota.
North Dakota and Minnesota upset
Colonel Roosevelt's plans for quiet
Sunday and he arrived here last night
thoroughly tired but as q result Of his
days journeying. Reaching his hotel
he at once went to his room and re-
tired.
Like Weller's thanksgiving turkey,
/ am old and tough" said he just be-
fore he went to bed, but there are
limits"
Before leaving Sioux City, Iowa, the
colonel had ordered his secretary to
send telegrams ahead to all stations
that he would not make any speeches.
The people, however, paid no attention
to the kilograms.
The special train scooted across the
eastern edge Of South Dakota and into
, Minnesota and for the first of the
morning Colonel Roosevelt enjoyed
himself sitting in an easy chair and
reading book. Then the engineer
footed one long blast with the whistle
and slowed down for Marshall the
first stop.
Can't Resist Temptation.
Teddy, Teddy, come on out the
crowd shouted. Lets see you"
The colonel hesitated for moment.
The shout grew louder. He laid down
his book. some of the people saw him
through the window, and cheered. He
arose to his feet and there was anoth-
er cheer. He walked to the door and
thrust his head through. The cheer
developed into yell of greeting and
the colonel could not resist and he
walked out to the platform
Speech! Speech" the crowd shout
ed. Colonel Roosevelt kept firmly in
his mind his resolve to make no speech
on Sunday and took another step as
though he was about to go back into
the car. The cries of speech, speech
grew louder. and the colonel capitulat-
ed. In another minute he was stand
ing at the railing, his hand raised high
in the air, his fist clenched, hammer
ing away at the air to emphasize each
point as he talked about honesty, good
citizenship and the children. He talked
until the engineer pulled out of the
station and as the train rolled away he
was still talking
The same thing happened at every
place at which the train stopped. At no
town did the people pay any atten-
ton to the coloners kilograms.
Labor Speech in Fargo.
One of the big set speeches of the
trip was delivered this afternoon by
Col. Roosevelt before the thousands

SAYS PACKERS NOT TO BLAME

MENT DEFENDING MEAT MEN
Declares Reduction In Cattle Raising
Is Principal Cause for High
Prices.

Minneapolis. Mimi, Feb. Stock
raising must be generally followed il
the farmers are to remain prosperous
and the people are to have cheap
meat according to Louis F. Swift, pres
ident OF Swift & Company, packers.
Mr.. Swift is one of the leading pack
ers in the country and his statement
OF the case for the packer. issued
at South st. Paul is significant.
Mr.. Swift says the people have the
remedy for high prices in their own
hands and that packers are not to
blame. He says that the people want
too much meat of the fancy quality,
that they do not buy or cook prop
erly and he considered the fireless
cooker a factor in household ecenom-
les. But back of it all the Western
packer sees the lack OF production
of meat as the basic cause of high
prices.
Mr.. Swift said: First, cattle
ranges in the west, where countless
herds once grazed, have been broken
up into farms, reducing somewhat the
supply of our meat animals; at the
same time, our rapidly growing popu-
lation continues to increase the de-
mand The nation is facing a serious
question in the reduced number of
livestock raised. and depicting the
soils fertility. The farmer, both east
and west, must grapple with this
problem, for it is his opportunity. Ii
other words, stock raising must be.

ture il the farmer is to continue sue
