get together and do something, but you
must get together and do something IL
you are to get anywhere. Now do not
mind your resolutions. Your Congress
men. like Mr. Mondell. relieve their feel
iugs by getting UP in Congress and talk
ing You relieve your feelings by get
ting together and passing resolutions.
That is all right, but let me advise you
that when YOU send your committees to
Washington to secure legislation you
give them a little quiet authority to
make the concessions which you have
got to make il you are to get any relief

PRAISES Forest Service.
The President told tho delegates that
with regard to the elimination from the
national forests Of lands which had been
included therein through the haste with
which their borders had been drained
and which were more suitable 10 agri-
culture than forests, they needed only
patience, as the work was being done as
rapidly as was practicable He COM
mended the work Of the reclamation
service and said the army engineers had
represented 10 him that the work was
well done and would endure for ages,
under which circumstances it would be
difficult 10 shake his faith. This remark
was cordially applauded.
The President paid a high tribute to
the fairness and efficiency OF Chief For
ester Graves and to the energy and
ability of Secretary Fisher, saying they
combined the rare virtues Of being loyal
cOnservatonists and reasonable men.
In conclusion he said: "I am President
Of the whole country, and what I'm try
ing TO do is TO get you together for some
thing concrete"
on the platform with the President
appeared Governor Shafroth, ex-senator
Teller, Mayor Speer and other promi-
nent Denverites. Mr.. Taft was cheered
when he entered the building and again
when he closed his remarks.
From the point Of view Of protestants
against the conservation policy the Pub
lie Lands Convention has been n decided
failure. There have been only about one
hundred delegates present, and of these
possibly sixty We're from Denver. AS
those present voted the number OF bal
lots accorded to their states by the COM
mittee on credentials, the record Of votes
l., MISLEADING Aud
with this limited representation it was
found impossible to adopt the censOrious
r, iolutions proposed by the more eX-
treme protestants. No criticism Of the
Public Land Office was uttered and only
one delegate spoke in criticism of the
Peclamation Service, while possibly all
the criticism directed at the Forest Ser
vice had 10 do with arbitrary and didac-
tic methods rather than with the forest
policy itself. a good many delegates
were moro or less personally aggrleved
because OF the activity OF the General
Land Office and the Department Of Jus
tlce in prosecuting violations Of the law.
The President spent a strenuous day in
Denver, every lHOIiltlL UNlI6 ON'upitus
Owing to some friction regarding his
entertainment there was less enthusiasm
displayed i'm the streets, there being no
band and no parade, than has been the
we'll satisfied with his day one OF the
incidents was an automobile ride at "a
speed Of. from thirty-fve to forty miles
an hour.
