our sons and daughters as well as our
selves; lust as a farmer uses his farm
in ways to preserve it's future useful
ness. Conservation is the road to ma
tional efficiency, and it stands for am
pie and wise development.
"This congress is a direct appeal TO
the patriotism of our whole people.
The nation wisely looks to such gain
erings for counsel and leadership. Let
that leadership be sound, definite,
practical and on the side of all the
people. It would be no small misfor-
tune if a meeting such as this should
ever fall into the hands of the open
enemies or false friends of the great
movement which it represents.
"It is our duty and our desire to
make this land of ours better home
for the race, but out duty does not
stop there. We must also work for a
better nation to live in this better
land. The development and conserVa-
ton of our national character and our
free institutions must go hand IN
hand with the development and con-
servation of our natural resources
Whatever progress we may make as
a nation, whatever wealth we, may
accumulate however far we may push
mechanical development and produc-
ton, we shall never reach a point
where our welfare can depend In the
last analysis on anything but hon
esty, courage, loyalty and good cit
izensship. The homely virtues are the
lasting virtues, and the road which
leads to them is the road to genuine
and lasting success.
James j. Hill sat on the platform
close to Col. Roosevelt, and on one oc-

of federal control of corporations, he
turned didectly toward the railroad
builder and addressed him.

WILL OPEN HOTELS FOR
NEW YORK WORKING GIRLS

NEW YORK, Sept 6.--The most am
bilious scheme yet for solving the
problems of housing the New York
working girl is to be put into opera

to pay their own way, although the
cost of land, buildings and equipment
will be obtained from subscriptions.

against DUveen Brothers, the iuterna-

These charges would probably place the
