His arm trembIed as it rested for an

and Pike returned quietly:
''Pouf! They've been there since we

'"This afternoon | tried to help a

he'd been for nine years."
Ethel half rose in her chair and
faced him eagerly.

Ethel waved him aside and turned
with whitening look on Pike.

Pike interrupted her ruthlessly and
bitterly.
"Stoop" he cried. ''Why, ten years

Situation Is Serious.

All wise men will agree the situa-
ton is serious. The Tawney amend
ment was more than a mistake-it
was a deliberate betrayal of the flu
ture. Dangers which confront the
conservation movement today must
be met by positive action in congress.
No action will be equivalent to bad
action, and will have the same re-
suits.
Unless congress acts, the water
powers will pass into the hands of
special interests without charge and
without limit of time. So with the
phosphate deposits on public lands,
when the Withdrawals which now pro-
tect them are removed. So with the
enormously valuable coal deposits in
Alaska. which the present law would
sell for $40 per acre.
Danger of bad legislation is no
less serious. Special interests must
no longer be allowed to take what they
choose out of the great property OF
all the people. Those who steal pub
lie lands, steal homes from men and
women who need them. Congress
can stop the pillage, or congress can
let it go on.
In the absence of proper action
two great conservative plans for the
public welfare may fail First is the
control of water powers on navigable
streams in the public interest; sec
ond, construction of the deep water
way from the great lakes to the Gulf
