BURKE TALKED
TO F. c. STUDENTS
GOVERNOR TOLD OF GOVERNORS
CONFERENCE AT FARGO COL
LEGE THIS MoRNINe-THlNks
LAWS SHOULD BE MORE UNI.
FORM IN THIS COUNTRY.

The Fargo college students enter
tanned North Dakota's governor this
morning and listened to a most inspir-
leg talk.
Having been a boy in the same
state as President Creegan, the
speaker referred to the many peculiar
habits of the people at that time, and
TO the good times Of the young peo-
pie.
We must not go back to those
times; 1t is not our mission to go
backward, but to go forward. our
schools and educational institutions
are for the purpose OF
youth to look forward" said the gov
ernor.
ON my way up to Fargo college
this morning I thought I would ten
you about the origin and purpose of
the governors conference, a subject
not generally understood, as it has
no constitutional rights to act in any
way.
in 1907 the Mississippi states held
a great navigation convention COM
posed of governors, senator's repre-
sentattves and experts for the pur-
pose OF discussing the conservation
or our national resources. At the
suggestion Of Pinchot, President Roose-
welt called a conservation congress. in
which learned men showed that our
forests would be consumed in twenty
five years, and that the time would
come when all the coal given by God
to mankind would be consumed. You
can't put back in a mountain one piece
of coal. When u coal is gone it Is
gone forever.
With this idea in mind, the gov
errors got together, organized and
agreed to meet every year to discuss
the welfare of the people. In these
conferences there are no political is
sues discussed. Each governor is there
for the good of his state and the
country.
A governor is peculiarly fitted for
this work, being familiar with the
laws and the success of their appIf-
cation. He is a member of every
board, is connected with The state In
stitutions, and is usually a lawyer
with a trained mind, enabling him to
see defects in the law of equalization
of taxes and tax laws. For this rea-
0 in his speech to the legislature he
presents the legislation which he

thinks is necessary, and which is
usually considered as opinions of great
So when a governor meets the gov
errors of the other states, discusses
the methods in the other states, the
success of certain laws, and reviews
the ideas of great men on the leading
questions of the day, he comes home

siderfng laws for the home state.

ston spoke before the high school stu
dents this morning. His talk was on
the need and value of increased edu-
cation, especially along agricultural
lines.
He compared the percentage of
boys and girls under 10 who are at

that of several important cities in
Germany. The comparison showed the
United States to be far behind in this
feature. Declaring that city people
should get better acquainted with the
essential elements Of agriculture, lie
showed how this mutual understand
ing between cities and the country
would prove Beneficial to both.
He Chased his interesting and in

dents to continue their education as
far as possible and thus become fitted
to do their part in uplifting humanity.
