,ommon honesty. Strife and division
pillage under the falseness of devel-
opment shall go on and the feverish
upbuilding of private wealth upon the
ruins of the peoples resources shall
continue-this is the policy of private
avariCe and private plumber. Forests
and coal, water powers and phos-
phates-all the wealth that belongs to
all the people-must be kept and de-
veloped for the benefit Of all the peo-
pie.
This great policy for the welfare
of all the people is now we'll under
way. Let us beware how we hinder
or retard it. Honor to whom honor
is due'-let us not forget that the man
who in thought, deed and word has
championed this vast and historic re-
form until today he is it's personifica-
ton is that courageous, pure, unset
ish young American, the president of
the national conservation commission
Clifford Pinchot. For years he has
fearlessly fought and ceaselessly toiled
TO save and protect for the people the
property of the people,
Mr. Hill said that there are dangers
lnseparable from national control. The
machine is too big and remote. he
said, and its operation too slow and
costly.
Continuing, Mr.. Hill said:
ITO pack the fact into a single
statement, the need of the hour and
the end to which this congress should
devote itself is to conserve conserva
ton. 1t has come into that peril which
no great truth escapes-the danger
that turks in the house of it's friends.
it has been used to forward that seri-
Gus error of policy, the extension of
the powers and activities Of the ma
tional government at the expense of
those of the states. The time is riDa
and this occasion is most fitting for
distinguishing between real and fanci-
full conservation and for establishing
a sound relation Of means to ends.
Toward the conservation of our
mineral resources little can be done
by federal action. The output is de-
termined not by the mine owner, but
by the consumer"

OCEAN TRAVEL.

The fact that nearly 1000 first
cabin passengers left New York during
a recent week shows how high the
tide of ocean travel has risen this
summer. The companies were evt
IDENTIFY justified In their anticipation
of a busy season. In fact, for several
weeks it has been impossible to get
berth on any ship, except where plans
were changed and accommodations re-
sold. The figures for the year since
January 1 reveal a steady increase In
all classes of travel over the CORE
spending period Of last year. Thus In
west-bound ships the increase In first
class passengers has been 2,340, II
second-class, 20,715, and IN steerage
72,677, while In east-bound ships the
frst-class figures go up 1909, the Sec
ond-class 1859, and the steerage 49,
180. Later In the season, OF course,
the balance will be restored by the
returning Americans IN the first class
and by the larger number of steerage
passengers bound Tor their native
lands. The record in every respect Is
remarkable as a demonstration of the
fact that the sea Is no longer an ap-
preciable barrier to international in
tercourse

st. Paul, MINI. The two oppos-
ing ideas of conserving natural re-
sources met fairly and squarely here
when Senator Beverage, in an elo-
quent speech, declared for national
control, while James ]. Hill argued
the contrary
Clifford Pinchot received an ovation
that furnished the most dramatic mo-

forester, the object of wild demon
stration by the audience, stood with
tears streaming from his eyes until
the outburst of cheers had subsidized
and the spectators were again in their

trying to say complimentary to Mr..

Senator Beverage had no sooner re-

His voice shook as he spoke.
Senator Beverage sounded his key
note in the statement that this is one
nation, not forty-six nations.
He said in part:

general good of all the people the

The idea of securing fire protection
for factories by installing a sprinkling
system fed from a tank Of water on
the roof is essentially a good one;
but there should be periodical inspec-
ton of the tank. Many serious acct
dents to buildings lately have been
caused by the rusting out of the sup
ports of tanks, which fell and burst
through the roof. The latest incident
Of the kind occurred in New York the
other day at the West End theater.
The damage was chiefly by water,

JAPAN'S ANNEXATION
 OF KOREA

The biggest land grab on record will be consumatad when Japan assumes the guidance, protection and control" of Korea. This little country, known so long as the Hermit Kingdom, '' has long been a bone of contention between Japan and Russia. After three years searching for the practical method for preserving Korea's entity, the Japanese privy coun- cil and the Korean emperor and hls cabinet have arrived at the terms which gives Japan control of territory as large as Eng land and the ruling of twelve million Koreans. The present Korean dynasty has been in power five hundred and eighteen years. A Japanese will be resi- dent-general of the little Her init Country" and the heads of the reigning Korean house will rank as Japanese princes. The Koreans. as a people, were kept in almost total ignorance of the negotiations and as Japan had the foresight to thoroughly police the country before the result of the negotiations were made, no popular" uprising IS. expected.
