The time was &c minutes. IA seconds
Last year Oxford won by 31a lengths in
10 minutes, 80 seconds. For the first
mile today the light blues put up 81

a procession.
The intcr-'Varsity race was never
rowed under more favorable weather
conditions. II was n perfect spring

there was hardly a ripple on the
Thames. There was practically no
choice IN stations.
The Oxonians remained strong fav-
orites among the riverside men and in

by this lack Of popular confidence in

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. THE
following is the address of ex-
President Roosevelt as delivered at
the Conservation congress yester-
day:
Americas reputation for eff
cheney stands deservedly high
throughout the world We are ef-
ficient probably to the full limit
that any nation can attain by the
methods hfteherto used. There is
great reason to be proud of four
achievements. and yet no reason to
believe that we cannot excel our
past. Through practically unre-
strained individualism, we have
reached a pitch of literally unex-
ampled material prosperity; although
the distribution of this prosperity
leaves much to be desired from the
standpoint of justice and fair deal
ing. But we have not, allowed the
individual free hand, which was
in the main right; we have also
allowed great corporations to act as
though they were individuals, and
to exercise the rights of individ-
uals, in addition to using the vast
combined power of high organiza-
ton and enormous wealth for their
own advantage. This development
of corporate action, it is true, is
doubtless in large part responsible
for the gigantic development of our
natural resources, but it is not less
responsible for waste, destruction
and monopoly on an equally gigan-
tic scale
The method of reckless and uncon-
trClled private use and waste has
done for us all the good it ever can,
and it is time to put an end to it
before it does all the evil it may.
We have passed the time when heed
less waste and destruction, and AFRO
Sdh' hhoHopols are dHy ioHSei PER
missable. Henceforth we must seek
national efficiency by new and
better way, by the way of the or
derby development and use, coupled
with the preservation, of our ma
tional resources, by making the most
of what we have for the benefit of
all of us, instead of leaving the
sources of material prosperity open
to indscriminate exploitation. These
are some of the reasons why it is
wise that we should abandon the
old point of view, and why conserv-
alton has become a patriotic duty.

The National Forests.

The people of the United States
believe in the complete and rounded
development of inland waterways
for all the useful purposes they can
be made to serve. They believe
also in forest protection and forest
extension. The fight for our nation
al forests in the West has been won.
After campaign in which the
women of Minnesota did work
which should secure to them the
perpetual gratitude of their state,
Minnesota won her national forest,
and will keep it.; but the fight to
create the Southern Appalachian
East is not yet over. The bill has
passed the house, and will come
before the senate for vote next
February. The people of the Unit
ed States, regardless of party or sec
ton, should stand solidly behind
it. and see that their representatives
do likewise.
IF any proof were needed that
forest protection is national duty,
the recent destruction of forests in
the West by fire would supply it.
Even with the aid of the army to
that of the forest service the loss
n aft
would have been vastly greater =
But while we of the United
States are anxious, as | believe we
are able, to be of assistance to 9TH
ers, there are problems of our own
which we must not overlook. One
Of the most important conservation
questions of the moment relates to
the control OF water power monop-
oily in the public interest. There is
apparent to the iudicious observer
a distinct tendency en- the part of
our opponents 70 cloud the issue by
raising the question OF state as
against federal Jurisdiction We are
ready to meet that issue if it is
force upon US. But there is no
hope for the plain people in such
conflicts of jurisdictions The essen
tial question is not one of hair
splitting legal technicaltics. IL is
! simply this: Who can best regulate
the special interests for the public
good? Most CT the predatory cor
