ON CONSERVATION STRIKE IS ENDED
Taft and Roosevelt Speak at
St. Paul Convention
LATTER WARNS THE NATION

Extravaganza of Our Resources
by Giant Corporations.

tional Conservation congress was
opened in the Auditorium here by
President Baker and Archbishop Ire.
land gave the invocation. Governor
Eberhart welcomed the delegates on
behalf of the state of Minnesota. He
was followed by Mayor Keller, who
welcomed them in behalf of st. Paul.
Then the delegates heard the speak
err of the day-William Howard Taft,
president of the United States. The
presidents address was followed by
that of United States Senator Nelson
of Minnesota, the subject of whose adj
dress was Our Public Land Laws"
In his speech the president, refer
ring to the danger to the state and
people at large from the waste of ma
tional wealth, and the need of some
one to provide a 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 presi.
dent of a party, but as president of the
whole people,
| Five different subjects were dis
cussed-agricultural lands, mineral
lands, forest lands, coal lands, oil and
gas lands and phosphate lands. Fin
ishing with these, the subject of water
power sites was referred to and the
president outlined the 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.
Taft Pleads for Harmony.
The president deplored the tendency
| to use conservation as subject for
| rousing the emotions and advises that
when men come forward to suggest
evils that the promotion of conserva-
ton Is to remedy that they be invited
to point out the specific evils and the
specific remedies. He said that when
the people know exactly what Is need
ed they can then make their represen-
tatives in congress and the state leg
islatures do their intelligent bidding
Referring to the Cunningham claims
he avoided giving any opinion, but
called attention to the fact that no
private claims for Alaskan coal lands
have yet been allowed or perfected
and that whatever the result as to
pending claims the existing coal Ian
laws Of Alaska are most unsat.sfac-
tory and should be radically amended.
On this subject the president said
the United States government has
much to answer for in not giving
proper attention to the government of
Alaska and the development Of It's re-
sources for the benefit of all the peo-
pie OF the country.
The president placed considerable
emphasis upon the need for the avoid
arce of acrimony, imputations of bad
faith and political controversy in
gathering of the Conservation con-
gress. Conservation, he said, Is not a
question of politics, or of factions, but
matter that affects the vital welfare

The widow was attractive and, though

There was something about Jones that
appealed to her, aud she was inclined
TO marry him. but she had reached an
age where woman has an eye to

desired to know something OF Mr..
Jones' Affairs before accepting him.

her as to what. IL anything, she could
contribute to their maintenance, but
received no satisfaction, He had
noticed that she was very reticent

come to support her, irrespective OF
the claim he had spoken OF, he did not
press her for Information.
Mr.. Jones and the lady he was to
marry lived in different cities. They
were married quietly at the place
where they met and went to live at
the husbands home They seemed to
be admirably suited 20 each other and
were very happy. Mrs. Jones did not
give evidence OF possessing any prop
erty. but one day In burst OF CON
ildenee that was unusual to her she
told her husband that she. too, hind

that she would be rich. Jones tried to
induce her to tell him all about #, but
she declined. saying that should she
do so IL would bring up the matter of
her former marriage, n subject she did
not wish to discuss.
Jones had very good reason for not
attempting TO bring out any peculiar
features connected with his wife's first
marriage, for there were secrets con-
corning his own that 1t would be very
| unpleasant to speak OF. 4 But her ex-

unique features such as these that
year after year delight the visitors and
students as we'll.
In some of the English colleges CON-
mencement days are observed some
what along the same lines. Breaking

short coats and tall hats indulge in
much '.horseplay." Many a topper"

these occasions. and these are collect

the institutions and which are repeat
ed each year. In after life the stu
dents look back in happy "reminiscences
to these closing scenes of their college
life, when they sat together and end
ed their years of study with sentiment
tai song.
Just how Vassar's daisy chain pro-
cession originated is a pretty story and
shows the spirit that prevails there.
Formerly it was the custom to wear
beautiful flowers on graduation day.
and some of the students used to go
to great expense in the matter. A
number, however. were too poor to
compete in this custom and had no
chance to rival their more favored Sis
tiers. making the great day a sorrowful
instead Of a joyous one for them. The
wealthy girls finally awoke to this fact,
and one of them suggested that instead
of spending money for flowers they
should decorate with the daisies that
grew in such profusion in the nearby
fields and march with a chain made of
these flowers. and in this graceful way
was saved the feelings Of scores of
graduates.
Ivy day at Smith college is also an
interesting feature. The seniors form
in line between long ropes of ivy car
ried by their friends. and the line Of
march winds in and out among the
many buildings OF the campus. When
the building against which the class
/ ivy is to be planted is finally reached
the seniors form a semicircle and sing
