TAFT INAUoURATES HIS coNsER'
WALTON POLICY.

Because he is enjoying his vacation
is no reason why President 1aIt Is idla.
He has started his long promised dnd
expected conservation p.licy. lie Las
withdrawn S,IS5,73l acres of govern
ment land. 1t Is somewhat late, Lat
1t is better now than never.
The people of this country NAY"
been so much occupied with other
things that they have had but little
time to watch their natural resources,
AS they should have been watched,
years ago. Much has escaped and has
passed into ether hands. The people
heritage has been bartered and given
away. Part yet remains and AT least
this part should be protected.
President TAFT declared At the open
ing of the Ballinger-Pinchot .nyestiga'
ton that the platform OF the party de-
clared for policy Of conservation. he
has now taken the necessary step to
protect certain rights. The president
has the authority to withdraw any
water power grant, or land grant. when
he deems it advisable to do 30.
II was Col. Roosevelt who used the
big stick fearlessly when 1t came to
conliscating land grants. President
Taft is now doing the same thing.
The grants cancelled covered certain
valuable water power sites, phosphate
and petroleum lands.
He also announces that this is just
the beginning and other important an
nouncements may be expected at any
time.-Commercial Appeal.

veteran on street car.

Fourth of July picnic on the outskirts

the Enforcement agitator whom We
had to ship out Of the country.
He was native lawyer. a student of
the College of Lahore. who believed in
India for Indians. He was an eloquent
fellow and could stir up the Hindoos. but
he could not impress the Mohammedans.
I once heard him make an incendiary
speech at Lahore. His audience was a
mixed body of MohammedanS and Hin
docs. He was denouncing the British.
and demanding that India should be
governed by natives Upon that a Mo-
hammedan in the crowd cried out: When
we want a new ruler we won't chose a
banya (tradesman) like you. We would
rather have the British Well. that is
the feeling of the Mohammedans. They
have no use for the Hindoos. ard es-
pecially not for the educated Hindoos,
who are called the Babus.'
Suppose the British should leave?
What would be the resut?"
There is no danger of that" was the
reply. I'VE could not leave If we would.
This is part of our share of the white
mans burden. and We must carry it.
whatever the cost
But suppose?'
IF We should take our army out of the
country and give the rule to the natives
try would be flooded with blood and the
very people who are denouncing us would
be the first to die. The Mohammedans
would attack the Hindoos. They would
rush down from the Punjab and capture
Bengal The AfghanS would march over
the border, and take back the valley of
Peshawar. which we have wrested from
them, and the warlike Nepalese would
loot the Bengalis. The Nizam of Hy-
derabad would throw his armies into the
struggle. and there would be a score of
great forces warning upon one another
to say nothing of the feuds between
tribes. At the time Of the mutiny of 1857
many Of the native chiefs took advantage
of the occasion to settle their long time
feuds.
These people treasure injuries from
generation to generation and they grasp
at such time to continue the vendettas
sworn by their ancestors. There would
be religious wars and caste wars. family
wars and wars OF private grievances The
HindoOs would be ground down by the
and robbed right and left.
The Mohammedans are far the Drawer as
fighting men. and they would welcome
the struggle. Indeed. the horrors of such
q situation cannot be described. The rest
of the world could not let it continue We
should be denounced for having fled from
the duty which God placed upon Us: and
some other power would rush in and take
possession.
Along this same line have talked with

ago upon which Sir Andrew Fraser. then
lieutenant governor of Bengal, his staff
and number of police were travelling.
They made other attempts to assassnate
Sir Andrew Fraser. They also threw a
bomb at a carriage containing a Calcutta
magistrate, who had imprisoned the
printers of two native journals for sedi-
tious utterances. and other bombs have
been thrown. Some were thrown at the
viceroy in Agra a few months ago
And then there was the bomb throw
ing N which Mrs and Miss Kennedy
were killed. L think, however. that we
have largely controlled these anarchists
and are gradually breaking up their or
ganZation. During one of our police
raids we found papers which showed that
an anarchist college existed and that the
anarchists had associates at Paris and
also in the western part of your country.
We have reason to believe that they are
allied to the NihiliSts of Russia and that
their society is based upon that organi-
Zation.''
