view as to the potential resources OF
the country and the capacity of every
generation to meet the problems that
will come before it. We should in all
justice and wisdom deal fairly by the
generations that are to come after US.
At the same time, we should deal
fairly and justly by the present and
rising generation. Conservation will
need our biggest minds and <.eir
broadcast views. And above all, it
needs conservative judgment, wise
business sense and careful and pains
taking craftsmanship. The northwest
should be we'll represented at this
meeting. North Dakota should be
we'll represented and its delegates
should go understanding the impor-
lance of the work to come before them
and avoid being carried away by par
tisanship, factionalism, or any sentl'
ment but a desire to further a sane
and careful policy of conservation,
with a view to the best good OF the
national and the parts thereof. 1t
should be remembered that North
Dakota, through the appropriation
from funds for it's public lands, is the
state making the greatest contribu'
lions to irrigation and conservation
schemes, and therefore we are greatly
in the coming event and
solicitous for sane action.

THE COMING CONSERVATION
CONGRESS.

The coming conservation congress
at St. Paul in September, at which
both President Taft and ex-President
Roosevelt will be in attendance, prom
Uses to be a representative gathering,
and to include a notable list of dele
gates from all parts of the country.
The nation is committed to the broad
policy of conservation and the details
of the conservation of the nations re-
sources are yet to be worked out.
The deliberations of the national
congress soon to be held will be in
portant as rejecting the broad and
statesmanlike views of the big men
of the country, and the work OF the
congress should be approached with
a sense of duty and responsibility, and
with a conservative desire to promote
the interests of all the people, having
due regard for the interests OF all
sections, and being careful not to ham,
per or prevent the development OF
any section by too great radicalism or
hasty action.
The national administration is carry
ing out the policies of sane conserva-
ton, with due regard for the laws
of the land, and with a due regard
for the best good of the whole people.
The question of conservation is not
one that can be settled In a moment,
or with too great haste, or in any
spirit of rancor or bitterness for or
against any section or individual or
group of individuals. 1t is question
that needs to be approached with
wisdom and elaboration, with a
knowledge of the needs of the various
sections of the county, with a broad

MAYOR GAYNOR'S ESCAPE.


The mayor of New York is the
head of one Of the biggest municipal
corporations in the world. An at
; tack upon him with the intent OF
! assassination Is of worldwide inter
est, and yet of no especial significance
as a matter of sociology. The same
thing might have happened to the
chief executive of any one OF a thou
sand smaller cities for the same cause
the personal hatred and anger of a
discharged city employe. The man
who was discharged as a result OF
economies in one of the city depart
ments brooded over his discharge and
possibly over his lack of employment.
Inflamed with hatred against the man
whom he held responsible for his loss
of employment, and possibly with
LIQUOR, he struck viciously, and 1t was
only a miraculous good fortune that
his attack did not have fatal result.
Several mayors of cities have been
assassinated in this country, as well
as several chief executives of the IA
ton. The possibility of attacks OF
this sort is one of the penalties that
attaches to distinction and promin'
ence politically And in nearly every
case, the attack was that OF a de-
ranged man laboring under what he
deemed grievance or injustice. Booth S
assassination of Lincoln was that or
q nolitical and sectional fanatic, VINO
thought he struck at an enemy OF
the south. He struck at and killed
its best friend. Guiteau's assasslna'
tion of Garfield was the act of de-
luded and deranged office seeker who
felt that he had been aggrieved. Czol'
gosz's assassination of Mckinley was
the insane act Of weak-minded per-
vert, preyed upon by sensational news
naper articles and anarchistic preach
ings. Mayor Carter Harrison OF chi
cago was shot and killed by para.
noiac, who was hanged for the crime.
It cannot be said that there is any
sequence of purpose in these attacks
upon public men. They are occasion
al manifestations of the brooding OF
individuals who have fancied griev'
ances. AS long as human nature is
80 variously constituted these acts
will recur to mar the peace and SER
entity of our public life and public
men. The punishment of the offend
ers has no special exemplary effect
The man who is so unbalanced that
he will make a murderous attack Is
not in a mental condition to weigh
consequences. About all that we can
say of the attempt upon the life OF
Mayor Gaynor is that he is fortunate
in the failure of it's purpose, for which
there will be general gladness. And
Tor the ndll.CfdAeu 4AuA'AUuoA "AAo Nav
the shooting, he will receive his due
punishment. Among so many people,
with such tides of emotions, hatreds'
angers, grievances, and fancied injus-
tees. the wonder is not that there is
an occasional attack upon public men,
but that there are not more of them.
And the general preachments of the
past few years of the corruption OF
public life, the greed of public men
and the evil of national and municipal
government have not had paclfylng
effect upon the weak-minded and
vicious element of the population.
