asserted by the advocates Of state con-
serVation that the subject Of conserva-
ton must be considered from two view
points, one presenting the duty and
right Of the federal government to con-
serve the resources Of its own proper

and right Of the states in regard 10
their natural wealth and that Of their
citizens. The vital interest Of the
states in this question is well evidenced
by the fact that four-fifths of the
standing timber of the country is own

With this four-fifths the federal gov
eminent can have no direct relation

tween the states and the owners OF the
water rights, the minerals. etc.
The problem Of the conservation OF
the greatest part OF the eOuntry's re-

the states only. say the men who see
/ in the house Of governors a means Of
salvation for the idea of a federal un-

eminent to enter upon the considera-
ton OF matters with which 1t has no
proper concern.

Simplicity Of the Idea.
Given annual meetings OF the gov
ernors, what better engine OF inter-
communication and interchange Of
ideas can be devised? These broad
minded men will meet and will discuss
in harmony the needs OF their states.
They viii talk over what has been done
and is being done 10 solve the prob
lens common 10 all OF the states. and
they viii reach bases OF agreement.
II should be understood that uniform
fly OF laws is not the only purpose of
these governors meetings. but that uni
formity OF desire 10 enact the best laws
for each individual state is a desired
end. Uniformity of laws is neither de-
sirable nor desired in some instances.
It is az a clearing house OF ideas on
state government and as a medium Of
friendly association of the state execu-
tives that the house Of governors finds
its highest expression.
Foremost In the minds OF the gov
ernors at the coming meeting win be
no doubt the question of the conserva-
tien OF natural resources, now much
discussed, and it probably Will be one
Of the subjects OF formal debate. 1t is

which are explicitly and expressly con-
ferred on IL and are not reserved 10 the
states themselves. They are seventeen

Power of the Governors.
AS stated above, the power OF the
governors is that OF recommendation
solely but that recommendation would
have vastly more power il Endorsed by
the united action Of the state eXecu-
tives. 1t is contended that only through
cooperation by the states, functioning
through the state legislatures and actu-
ated by the recommendations OF the
governors, can concerted state action
as deemed necessary by the wisdom Of
the governors be made effective. The
need of agreement and uniform laws
on certain important matters, such as
divorce, extradition OF fugitives from
justice. life insurance and automobile
regulations. is conceded.

that of collision with a liner is the one
most feared. Collision" is hardly the
word, since the shock so frequently IA
I'll 10 the schooner, invariably mortal
TO the dory or smaller boat, is hardly
felt by the leviathan Of the seas. The
preface 10 the disaster comes with the
settling down Of the fog which hides
all things, even the sea, from the look
out on the steamers bow and from
the man in the dory. Then come the
high, sharp steel prov OF the liner
looming out Of the murk, the rending
and crashing of timbers and the i'm
mersiOn in the icy water. followed in
too many cases by crushing against
the side OF the big vessel. Such cases
generally mean death without hope OF
rescue.
Other accidents of the sea. such as
falls on the schooners, severe injuries
due TO cutting with the fish knives
which play so large part in the bust
ness. amputations OF toes or fingers or
greater members made necessary by
freezing, shocks due to long immersion,
etc, fall within the province Of the
hospital ship. The captains of the fish
ing schooners are amateur physicians
and surgeons in many cases and carry
with them remedies for the simple Ills
which might befall their men. But
they are helpless In severe cases, and
the hospital ship is to supply this need.

upon to reply to one or the other Of
these queries, especially at this season
Of the year. when mendicancy is on the

A glance at the calendar supplies the
reason. Thanksgiving heraids the ap-

in the ante holiday season. when the

Cannot the federal government at
tend to those matters and apply the
proper remedies by means OF federal
legislation? The reply is simply that
the central power may not legislate on
such matters without exceeding its
rights as defined by the constitution
Constitutional amendment may be sug
gested. but the process of changing the
fundamental law OF the nation cannot
be undertaken T. meet such cases and
need not be undertaken when so sim
pie a plan as concerted state action TO
be procured through the action OF the
house OF governors is available.
Granted. therefore. that concerted
state action is desirable. how shall il
be obtained? There is no provision in
the constitution for periodical meet
ings OF Representatives Of the states.
1t may be urged that the senators rep
resent the states. They do so only in
relation 10 the federal legislation en-
acted in pursuance OF the objects eX-
pressly enumerated in the national
pact. Taken collectively, the senators
