Lawyer Over 100000.

Chicago, Sept. 4.-With the claims

Attorney John F. Rosen, as the rep

ROOSEVELTON CONSERVATION
Feature of Second Days Session of
the Congress.

the Congress.
St. Paul, Sept. 6.-The feature of
the second days session of the Ma
tional Conservation congress was the
address of former President Theodore
Roosevelt, who spoke on National Eff
ficiency." The speaker gave warning
to the nation to curb the giant corpor-
atoms, which, he declared, were re-
sponsible to large extent for waste,
destruction and monopoly of our nat.
ural resources and asserted that the
time was at hand for orderly develop
ment and use, coupled with the preser-
walton of our natural resources, by
making the most of what we have for
the benefit of all of US, instead of leav-
ing the sources of material prosperity
open to indiscriminate exploitation.
On the question of state or federal
control Colonel Roosevelt declared EN-.
phatically in favor of the latter. The
question, he said, was raised by the
opponents of conservation in order to
cloud the issue and cause a conflict of
jurisdiction The question, he said, is
primarily in the interest OF the great
corporations, which desire to escape
all government control. In conclusion
he said:
What this country needs is what
every free country must set before it
as the great goal toward which it
works-an equal opportunity for life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness
for every one of it's citizens. To
achieve this end we must put a stop
to the improper political domination
no less than the improper economic
dominion of great special interests"
Following Colonel Roosevelt speech
es were made by Miss Mabel Board
man, president of the American Red
Cross society; Francis J. Heney of
California; Herbert Knox Smith, COM
missioner of corporations; Governor
Hadley of Missouri and George C. Par.
dee of California.

ON CONSERVATION
Taft and Roosevelt Speak at
81. Paul Convention
LATTER WARNS THE NATION
Time to Call a Halt on the Reckless
Extravaganza of Our Resources
by Giant Corporations.

st. Paul, Sept. 5.-The second Ma
tional Conservation congress was
opened in the Auditorium here by
President Baker and Archbishop Ire
land gave the invocation. Governor
Eberhart welcomed the delegates on
behalf of the state of Minnesota. He
was followed by Mayor Keller, who
welcomed them in behalf of st. Paul.
Then the delegates heard the speak
er of the day-William Howard Taft,
president of the United States. The
presidents address was followed by
that of United States Senator Nelson
of Minnesota, the subject of whose ad-
dress was Our Public Land Laws"
In his speech the president, refer
ring to the danger to the state and
people at large from the waste of ma
tional wealth, and the need of some
one to provide remedy, gave due
credit to Theodore Roosevelt, who, he
said, took up the task during the last
two years of his administration.
The president said he inherited the
conservation policy, that he rejoices
in the heritage, and that he will do
dent of party, but as president of the
whole people.
Five different subjects were dis
cussed-agricultural lands, mineral
lands, forest lands, coal lands, oil and
gas lands and phosphate lands. Fin
ishing with these, the subject of water
power sites was referred to and the
president outlined the arguments for
and against their control by the states
or the federal government. He re-
served his own opinion, however, and
said he would submit the whole mat
ter to congress.
Taft Pleads for Harmony.
The president deplored the tendency
to use conservation as a subject for
rousing the emotions and advises that
when men come forward to suggest
evils that the promotion of conserva-
ton is to remedy that they be invited
to point out the specific evils and the
specific remedies. He said that when
the people know exactly what is need
ed they can then make their represen-
tatives in congress and the state leg
islatures do their intelligent bidding.
Referring to the Cunningham claims
he avoided giving any opinion, but
called attention to the fact that no
private claims for Alaskan coal lands
have yet been allowed or perfected
and that whatever the result as to
pending claims the existing coal land
laws of Alaska are most unsatisfac-
tory and should be radically amended.
On this subject the president said
the United States government has
much to answer for in not giving
proper attention to the government of
Alaska and the development of it's re-
sources for the benefit of all the peo-
pie of the country.
The president placed considerable
emphasis upon the need for the avoid
ance of acrimony, imputations of bad
faith and political controversy in
gathering of the Conservation con-
gress. Conservation, he said, is not
question of politics, or of factions, but
matter that affects the vital welfare
of everybody

 Even Cohen, who seldom erred on the side of timidity in speech, scarcely ventured to put into words the reason why he did ''care."
 Meantime Isidora had been busy jus ifying her lovers worst fears.
 As she reached the top of the stair case she heard the loud slamming of the door which had been warped and bIistered by the heat. Her heart gave a little jump of excitement Already she was keyed to a highly emotional state, and in her longing for a talk with Love1and alone she was ready to run almost any risk. The unexpected shutting of the restaurant door caused her tremor of delight. She tiptoed down again. with her heart loud as a hammer in her breast. and fitted softly into the kitchen. not daring to speak till she had quietly closed the door, also lest the sound of her voice should carry across the passage.
