spite OF drought and a large decrease
in food for cattle, made through their
farmers creameries alone last month,

On Monday morning the first train

scription for her son, causing the
latter's death, when the prescription

Certainly there must have been some
unusual cause to make 400 hungry
young Americans go without three
meals. to say nothing of facing a sea-
son without dances and football and
daring the possibility of expulsion for
some Of their number.
Booz Case Is Famous.
This is not exactly a parallel case
to the various hazing escapades that
have made West Point famous and
on few occasions have narrowly
escaped making it infamous. Perhaps
the most celebrated Of these was the
affair of Cadet Booz, who died after
being made the victim of rather bru-
tai hazing episode. and his friends
charged that bis death was the direct
result Of the injuries then received.
From the testimony given in the in
quiry which followed it appeared that
Booz had been compelled to partici-
pate in prizefight, after a round
or two of which he laid down and
cried, and that he had been forced to
eat tabasco sauce and other pleasant
condiments. from the effects of which.
It was charged. he contracted tuber.
culosis Of the throat.
Another pathetic case was that Of
Cadet Broatch of Nebraska. Broatch
objected to the hazing system, and life
was made so miserable for him that he
left the academy, but not until he had
carried his complaints to the superin-
tendent and even higher. During the
Spanish-American war Broatch be-
came a volunteer officer and made q
record as brave soldier. When he
was stationed in Cuba, however, he
was surrounded by West Point Off
GERS, who ostracized him to such de-
gree that he committed suicide.
The most recent hazing case at West
Point was that in which Cadet Sutton,
brother Of the principal in the famous
Sutton case at Annapolis, was at
tackled by gang Of the cadets while
he was on sentinel duty. The jewellers
clad in the robes Of night, were halted
by Sutton, and they proceeded to have
| fun with him. Among their Other
playful pranks they went after hin
with two tent poles and left him in s
condition that sent him to the hospita

1.-THE silence
"Silenced" One Is Game.
One can imagine the scene-an i'm

tables with ten men at each table, all
dumb and motionless by common i'm
pulse. Slightly disconcerting for Il
young officer who realized that it was
all meant for him.

ously, however. they were just putting
me to the test: was new, and they
wanted to find out what sort I was"
They found out, for Captain Longan
instantly called them to attention and
dismissed them. Then he reported the
matter to headquarters. AS a result
every mothers son Of the cadet corps
was placed under virtual arrest, bar
ring few in the hospital, and chop"
scheduled for the evening was called
off. The young ladies of the commune
ty were left with a hopeless and ''hop-
less" season in prospect. The football
practice was perforce abandoned, al
though a game was scheduled in the
near future. The shoe was on the
other foot. The officers were putting
something more than a "silence" on
the cadets.
The next morning Captain Longan
was again greeted by a cessation of
talk and eating, but only three tables
participated in this "silence." The in
slant call Of attention and dismissal
followed, and double quick was or.
dered, much to the discontinue of q

Denver, Col, Aug. 29.---CoI Roose-
yelt, speaking here today, said in part:
This country has shown definite
signs OF waking up TO the absolute
necessity OF handling its natural re-
sources with foresight and common
sense. The conservation question has
three sides. In the first place, the
needless waste Of the natural resources
must be stopped. II Is rapidly becom-
ing well settled policy Of this people
that we Of this generation hold the
land in part for the next generation,
and not exclusively for our own selfish
enjoyment. Just as the farmer is a
good Zen II he leaves his farm Inn
proved and not impaired for his chill
dren, and bad citizen If he skins the
land in his own serfish interest, so the
nation behaves well if it treats the
natural resources as assets which it
must turn over to the next generation
increased and not impaired in value,
and behaves badly if it leaves the land
poorer to those who come after us.
I'm the second place, the natural re-.
sources must be developed, promptly,
completely, and 10 orderly fashion. It
is not conservation to leave the nassrsl
resources undeveloped Development
is an Indispensable part Of the conser-
vation plan. The forests, the mines,
the water powers, and the land itself.
must all be put to use. Those who as
sert that conservation proposes to tie
them up, depriving this generation OF
their benefits In order to hand them
on untouched to the next, miss the
whole point OF the conservation idea.
Conservation does not mean depriving
the men Of today Of their natural
rights in the natural resources Of me
land All it means is that we Of this
generation shall SO use our rights as
not to deprive those who come after
us Of their natural rights in their turn.
In the third place, so far as possible
these resources must be kept for the
whole people and not handed over for
exploitation to single individuals. We
do not intend TO discourage individual
enterprise by unwfsely diminishing the
