1T has been suggested that II you
impose those conditions, II will be diff

No AitruIsts In Country.
Now, in the disposition of these
lands, In the disposition OF the coal,
whether we are to rent 1t or sell the
coal under the ground. in the disposi-
ton of the power sites, whether we
are to lease them, or how We are TO
dispose OF them under conditions; or
with the phosphate lands, there is one
proposition that we cannot ignore, and
that Ia, that there are no altruists in
this country or anywhere else that
have capital that they are going to in
vest Just for the purpose OF helping
out public theories with reference TO
the disposition OF those lands.
"Of course, II you want to go into

we have enough to do In our govern

work to mine coal, and mine phos.

the speakers table, brought lusty
cheers from the banQueters.
The president confined his address
TO the one subject OF conservation,

patton of hearing the tariff discussed
they were disappointed. The presf
dent said in part:
Conservation means a great many
different things. In its larger sense
II Ii made TO include the Improve
ment OF waterways. and their use,
and the prevention OF waste In every
thing that nature affords To man, In
the suppression or prevention OF
erosion OF the soil. in the prevention
OF the destruction of the forest, In the
unnecessary exhaustion OF our min

does not help one responsible in any
way for federal legislation: and |
want to come down TO the meaning
Of conservation as II ought to be de-
flned with reference TO possible fed
eral legislation.
1T means really what we should do
with the public domain, as much or
IL as we have left. so as to see that II
shall be used for the benefit OF the
greatest number. In 1861 We had a
public domain Of about billion
acres. Leaving out Alaska, we now
have domain of about 100000 900
acres The 300,000,00 that have gone
from us represent. OF course, the best

that Is not worth Pnything, and all
the land that Is arid, sub-arid, and all
the swamps; that is, all the swamps
that the federal government owns, fol
the states own good deal.
And the question Ia what We are
to do in, respect to that 100000, 900
acres in the land between the seas,
and the 300,0O0,00O acres in Alaska.
OF IL the last administration and this

with a view 70 having congress take
action in respect to that 10000, 900

merely as agricultural lands.
One Great Difficulty.
"One great difficulty is the doubt,
and very serious doubt II Is, wheth.
er the executive have the power to
make these reservations. Before the
last administration the executive had
exerted a power OF reservation with
reference to specific government uses,
like a military reservation. or a light
house tract. of something for distinct
government use. but to extend that
power to 90,000,000 acres, not for any
specific government purpose, but be-
cause the executive thinks that the
land ought to be disposed OF In some
other way, is straining the construc-
ton OF the constitution, which de-
clares that the disposition OF the pub
lie domain shall be by congress. and
not By the executive. Hence 1t Is that
IL Is OF the almost importance that

President DeVOteS Whole
Speech to Conservation

Although the committee on arrange
ments had not expected that the post
prandial part OF the program would
be reached before 10 o'clock, the serv-
ice OF the menu was accomplished
with such celebrity that the last deml-
tasse was drained by 9:45 o'clock,
and President Larned started the pro-
gram by introducing Mayor Brett
meyer. His honor made a happy lit
tie welcoming speech and caused a
ripple OF merriment by his reference

was another laugh when he recalled
that some people had insisted that he
had been elected lust because Taft

President Larned's introduction OF
the president was one Of the happiest
efforts of the evening.
THE present executive will find 1t
difficult to frame policies that will
meet the approval OF all our ninety
millions OF people," he said. But
think there are none who will not
accord to him the highest patriotism,
judicial fairness, broad comprehen-
sion and, above all, honesty-honestJ

tlves. We are deeply honored, Mr..
President, by your presence here to-
night. assure you that the greeting

comes from our hearts and flashes
from our eyes with all the earnest
ness of a real welcome"
AS the president arose Mr.. 'Larned
proposed three cheers. The response
was most cordial and was accompan-
led by a great waving OF napkins. The
demonstration lasted perhaps 80 sec

ident smilingly acknowledged the well

He took occasion especially to compli-

OF those falsehoods, which have baen
assldlously circulated to be-cloud the
real issue: Is the Live Stock Sanitary
Board and its patronage to be turn

NOW these are the facts and in adj
dition there is the actual record of
TWO years work to prove them. but
by way of contrast, let us look at the
record of Governor Noel during his
less than two months membership
on the Board. We have positive
proof that before he had ever attend

inspectors rested in Professor Smith

TO take 1t up and challenge them to

every word and syllable: for Mr..
Blakeslee never made an appoint

tended. | submit to you, gentlemen,
as business men, if $4,000 a year is
too much to spend for a competent
man to supervise the expenditure Of
$4,000 of your money?
The following is plain statement
of the course which was followed in
removing Professor Smith from the
Live Stock Sanitary Board, in order
to give the Governor control of the
patronage of the Board for personal
political purposes: Early in the ses-
sion the Governor sent a message to
the Legislature recommending that
the Live Stock Sanitary Board be in
creased by the addition of six new
members. Why six new members?
Plainly, because there were five al
ready on the Board and it takes six

from any sort of partisan politics.

ton, made in an interview recently
published in the daily press, is, that
the Governor prevented the Sanitary
Board spending $4,000 a year for a
competent man to manage the affairs
OF the Board and supervise the ex-
penditure of the $4,000 recently ap-
propriated by the Legislature, and
the funds contributed by the various
counties, which are also expended
under the direction of the State San
itary Board, amounting to probably
$4,000 more during the two years,
or $4,000 in all. Here are the facts:
The Board recognizes the necessity
OF a competent man to manage the
affairs of the Board, and Professor
Smith, having been notified by the
President of the A. & NJ. College and
a committee or part of the Board
of Trustees of said A. & NJ College
of TRUSTEES of said college, that he
would be removed from membership
on the Sanitary Board, the Board
passed resolution to elect Professor
Smith as it's competent field agent.
The Governor in no sense prevented
this from being done The Board
did it and the only reason it was not
carried out was because it was found
to be unconstitutional for any man
to serve the State for money through
the action of any Board on which he
had served within one year.
Now, let us turn a little light on
the consistency Of the Governor in
claiming that he prevented the en-
ployment Of competent man and
saved CD the State $1,000. On the
very day when the Board sought to
employ Professor Smith, the Cover
nor had one of his political bench
men present under the generally re-
ported promise that he, the Cover
nor. would have him elected to the
position to which the Board elected
Professor Smith. The only differ
ence between the intended action OF
the Governor and that of the SAM
tary Board is that the former is re-
ported to have promised to elect a
VIGOROUSLY incompetent henchman
to the position to which the Board
elected the most competent man in
the State. Prof. Archibald Smith.
Again, let us point out another ex-
ample of the Governors idea as saw
ing money to the State: He refused
to pay Professor Smith, $4,000 a
year to manage the expenditure of
$4,000 year along lines for which
all admit him to be thoroughly quail
flied, and then, four days later, he
paid him more than $4,000 ($2,25O
and free house in Greenville) year
to manage an expenditure Of about
$4,000 year. along lines for which
all know he has no special fitness.
1t may be asked how the Governor
expected to elect this member Of the
Legislature to the position of Field
Agent OF the Sanitary Board, when
he did not have control Of the Board.
in that Professor Smith had not yet
been removed as member OF the
Board. The answer is, that the Gov
ernor did not expect Smith to be on
the Board at that meeting. He had
persuaded the chairman Of the SAM
tary Board to postpone meeting OF
the Board from April 18th to April
Goth, on the pretext that he could
not attend on the earlier date; and
on April 9th he had the Board OF
Trustees of the A. 4 M. College call
