st. Paul will probably close Thursday
gress. The congress was to have
closed Friday night.
The reason given for this by those
in charge is that it will be much bet
ter to have the great gathering close
in blaze of glory than to let it
peter out" 1t is pointed out that
since the two great days of the meet
ing are over and the president and
the former president, the star attrac-
lions, have come and gone, many OF
the delegates are ready to leave for
home at the earliest possible date.
Resolutions to Sc Adopted.
The most important work still to be
brought before the committee will be
the adoption of resolutions. The COM
mittee on resolutions has been hold
ing meetings and considering the vast
number of resolutions that have been
offered
This platform will indorse the doc
trine of federal control as opposed
to states rights. The PinchOt men
have been in absolute control from
the start and will remain so up to the
time when the platform is adopted
and Clifford Pinchot makes his ad-
dress.
An effort may be made to go or
record in connection with the Balm
ger-Pinchot controversy 1t is thought
best by many of the Pinchot men, that
this declaration should not be too radi,
CAL
However, an expression of conf
dence will be voiced in Clifford Pinchot
and by inference at least, criticism
will be extended to Richard Balm
ger.
The scene at the Auditorium was
greatly changed from that of Tues
day. The immense audiences that at
tended on the days previous had
melted away. The big Auditorium was
divided and the space in the rear was
given over to piled up chairs and
benches and the wreck of the stage
from which President Taft and Col
onel Roosevelt had spoken.
The audience was comprised mostly
of delegates and visiting women, some
of them also delegates.
The two opposing ideas Of conserv-
ing natural resources met fairly and
squarely when Senator Beveridge in
an eloquent address declared for ma
tional control, while James j. Hill
argued the contrary.
When Senator Beverage referred to
Clifford Pinchot as the pure-hearted,
courageous, unselfish type of the high
est American citizen, one who had de-
voted his life for the cause of con-
servation for the benefit of all the peO-
pie, the vast crowd went wild. 1t was
some minutes before the senator could
go on with his address. The people
rose to their feet, shouted for Mr..
Pinchot and waved handkerchiefs.
Even the women stood up and cheered
for Mr.. Pinchot. 1t was not until Mr..
Pinchot came forward and acknowl-
ridge was allowed to proceed.

other demonstration equal only to that
given Mr.. Roosevelt was rendered the
senator. Before Senator Beveridge's
speech President Finley of the South
ern railroad gave his address on "The
Interests Of the Railways of the
South in Conservation"
John B. White Of Kansas City, the
next speaker, said that the true lead
ers of conservation have been mis-
by press and people.
Even in Alaska" he said, "the best
known teachers of conservation urge
the development of all the resources
for the benefit of the people. They
wish to encourage pioneering both on
a small and on large scale. 1t is
not the purpose of conservation to
preserve from exploration and discov-
cry unknown resources, if there can
be found new fields for men brave and
fearless enough to take the risks OF
life and of capital.

Woman Talks Conservation.
Mrs George WEIGH of Sank Center,
read a report of the work of the Gen
eral Federation Of Womans clubs tell
ing the work the women have been do
ing in the interest of conservation OF
natural resources.
Mrs Welch's paper was in substltu-
ton for the one that was to have
been read by Mrs. Croker OF Massa-
chusetts on the same subject. After
q few brief speeches by some or the
in which they told of the work
they were doing to further the cause
Of conservation, the morning session
was adjourned.
Among the important addresses on
Thursday, were those by President
Lewis of the Mine Workers of Amer
ca and United States Commissioner
if Education Brown. The former ad-
dressed the congress on the subject
If "Are We Mining Intelligently?"
and the latter spoke on Education |
