vents the expenditure of any of the proceeds of the bonds in any Of the projects until a board Of army eng1- neers shall report the same as worthy and feasible. Moreover, additional pro- vision has been made in the appropria- ton laws for money with which to car ryI on surveys of unsurveyed public lands, a crying need in certain states and in Alaska. Thus it is not too much to say that most important steps have been taken toward the proper conser- vation of our resources in the legisIa- ton of the present congress. There remains to be considered and settled the question of the method of disposing of these lands so that the government may retain sufficient control to pre- vent monopoly in their use and to secure the public against extortion for coal, oil, gas. phosphate or water power on the one hand, and yet may give to private capital sufficient inducement to
 bring about a normal development of the wealth contained in these lands to aid in the building up of the country. Neither the democrats of the house nor the democrats of the senate as a body, although their platform formally de- clared in favor of conservation, have taken any active part or can be count
 ed upon 10 assist materially in the so- lution of these complicated questions. Another subject of pressing impor- tance is that of the improvement of our waterways The present congress
 has enacted a rivers and harbors bill,
 
 the carrying out of number of we'll defined plans for the permanent inn provement of rivers and harbors with
 in a certain period. and in addition au- thorizing contracts to be entered into
 subject to future appropriations by
 congress, aggregating over ten millions of dollars. The bill was subject to crit icism in that it still continued the old piecemeaI system and appropriated something for nearly every project recommended by the army engineers. It is hoped and believed that in the next session and thereafter the engi- neers will so make their recommends tions as to indicate the projects of
 greater importance, so that adequate sums may be appropriated for their com pietion within reasonably short
 tiIne and the piecemeal policy of ex- tending the construction of improve
 ments of this kind indefinitely for years may be aba bandoned.
 Other Pledges Redeemed.
 The republican platform promised that it would admit to statehood ths
 territories of New Mexico and Arizona. and that promise has been redeemed with suitable provisions for securing good and sane constitutions of the
 states by requiring their adoption in advance of the election of state officers and their submission to congress for

are also those bills. already referred to, to secure further safety appliances on railways and to establish a basis for worixmens compeneations Tiisfe ir also the promise of the republican platform to make better provision for securing the health Of the nation. The most tangible and useful form that this can take would be the establish ment of a national bureau of health to Include all the health agencies of ths government now distributed in different departments.
 Tn view of what the present repub- lican congress has done in the fulfil ment of it's promisen. and in view of the standard that it has set in respect to the sacredness of party pied Ees, I have no hesitation in urging all who are in favor of the performance of the remaining pledges, who are in favor of progess in favor of practical cOu- seryation, in favor of economy in gov ernment, in favor of the just roguia- tion of railways and of interstate com- merce corporations, in favor of a bu- reau of health. in favor of a proper limitation of the power Of equitable injunction. and who are in favor of measures to promote the merchant ma rfne engaged in foreign service. 10 vote for the republican candidates for congress in order that their wish for all this progressive legislation may be gratihed.
 Conclusion.
 Tn tlDSlnS, IL may HOA pc lIdDpFUDFl~ ate for me to invite your attention. and that of all those engaged in adVo- eating the republican cause in the coming election, to the fact that it is of the utmost importance to make this q campaign of education as to facts and to clear away the clouds of mic representation that have obseured the eral issues and have made fl difficult to secure for the republican mntoritiss in congress the real credit due them frcm the country for the tremndous task they have accomplished. If this is brought clearly home to all voters, and especially to the young men now Vot- ing for the first time, and they be- come impressed, as they ought to be by this record, with the difference in the governmental efficiency and cRpac- fty of the republican and democratic parties. they will enroll themselves with the party of construction and progress rather than with the party of obstruction and negatiOn, and the re- sulting legislation of the Sixty second congress will vindicate their choice.
 Sincerely yours,

 The talk soon turned to warfare and the veteran said:
 Yes, sir; I've seen fightfn' I got this gash across the cheek at Chicka- manga My stiff leg. by gosh. comes from ball in the -Chancellors- vile. This thumb nail here was shot at GettysbUrg. I lost the tip of my ear at Spottsyivania."

 The veteran froWned and ignored the question. He began to talk about the heat. But his wife interrupted
