Pinchot is still the leader Of the Ameri-

This Is the statement of DR.. Charles

"Mr. Pinchot Is the father OF con-
servation." DR.. Eliot continued. I'll
Va in his brain that the idea for such
a movement was born, and President
Roosevelt only adopted 1t. The presi-

for originating the plan. Despite
President Taft's action we may depen I
upon It that Pinchot will be our leader
ia the future as he has been our leader
in the past.
Nothing that he mas done or moth

with his leadership. He Is peculiarly
