embarrassment, It must have given the
former president a bully time"
People are prone to view others from
the point OF view which seems nearest
common angle. II was perfectly
natural for these mothers of six and
twelve children to remember Roosevelt
as the man who denounced race sui
eide, forgetting everything else that
he had ever said or done, just as it
was to hail Mitchell as their old leader
But no two men could have gone
through those districts and deserved
more the reception these men received,
for Roosevelt, no less than Mitchell,
became the stout friend of the Penn
sylvania coal miner at a time when
such a friend was needed, and it is
quite likely that the men, less boastful
of their plethoric households, had this
in mind as they greeted him.

Taft at St. Paul.

Real friends OF conservation will be
glad to know President Taft has de-
cided to accept Minnesota's Invitation
to speak at the St. Paul Conservation
congress. 1t was only small-bore dis
regard for the high office he holds
that ever excluded the presidents
name from the original list of speak
ers, but it probably is just as we'll, for
it gave the state as a whole, acting
through the leadership of its governor,
who went in person to President Taft,
the opportunity to make amends.
Early in September, therefore, the
country will have the privilege of
learning what is to be the presidents
continued policy on this absorbing
subject, for it is understood that his
speech will be simply that part Of his
forthcoming message to the short ses-
sion of congress dealing with conseT-
walton. The country knows what to
expect from this administration, for it
has already clearly defined its attitude
in works and not words. That attitude
has been heartily endorsed, too, by the
American people, If indications count.
The president is not today criticised
on his conservation policy by those
who know what he has done and who
wish to be honest and fair. From his
standpoint he was entirely justified in
hesitating to make Withdrawals of pub
lie land and water and power sites un-
til congress acted upon his recon-
mendation for law specifically defin-
ing his right of withdrawal, and as
soon as that law was enacted he proved
his good faith by making these ex-
tensive Withdrawals under its author
ity.
Out OF the congress at st. Paul the
country should derive a substantial
benefit, and it should go far toward
confirming our people in their deter
mination to stand by true conservation,
the conservation policy inaugurated by
Roosevelt and clinched by Taft.
