swerving loyalty to the policy,
There are some conservationists who
would have the public believe that
majority of the conservationists are OPP
posed to the president This is not the
fact. A few conservationists who have
been able to make much clamor and to
deceive people into believing that they
constituted a majority are opposed to
the presldent-not because he Is not
conservationist, but because he could
not and would not approve Illegal meth
DDS and because when they came to re-
gard themselves as larger than tho poll
Icy itself and even as above the law
MT. Taft promptly dispensed with their
services. But if you will look into the
subject you will find that they consti-
tute very small minority.
Results Have Been Obtained.
The conservation movement is one OF
the most important in this country, and
that policy has been one OF the most
important and the most strictly adhered
to OF this administration. A great part
of the conservation work Of this gov
eminent has been done by the scientific
experts Of the geological survey OF
course, in the eyes Of certain persons
who can see no good outside Of the for
est service, that in itself is a crime.
But the great army Of conservation
lists want results, concrete results, and
these they have obtained under the
Taft administration. For instance, the
81, 80 lands ha
nearly trebled the valuation Of 15,00O,-
900 acres of coal lands. These lands
have been segregated, and not an acre
is passing to private ownership. Pres
ident Taft has declared himself I'M
equivocsIly for the leasing of coal lands,
and sooner or later congress will enact
the necessary legislation. And until 1t
does, President Taft will protect these
lands, as he will all similar mineral
lands, from passing into the hands Of
private individuals, to pass in turn, as
they surely would, into the hands of
monopolists.
How important is the presidents
stand in this regard may be judged
from the fact that the geological sur
vey has found 10000, 900 acres of ex-
oeptionally rich lignate lands in Mon
tans, of which one 40-aore tract con-
tains more than $500, 900 tons.
The Withdrawals made by order Of
President Taft include 6s,215,489 acres
OF coal lands, 4,774,1S2 acres of oil
lands, 3,340,561 acres of phosphate lands,
1,S13,753 acres Of land available for
power sites. 1929 acres set apart for
water reservoirs and moro than 800, 900
acres set apart for public waterworks,
experimental station purposes, etc. Can
you beat this?
Tribute For Potash.
Do you realize that this country pays
foreign producers Of potash so, 1000. 900
a year and that this sum all comes
out Of the pockets OF tho American
farmers? President Taft has directed
that all the available scientific knowl-
edge Of the government be directed to
finding a method of producing this pot

ALARM NEEDLESS,
SAYS CHAMBERS
Candidate for Mayor Admits,
However, City's Problems
Need Attention.

Following Alderman John S. Can
dlers striking interview on conditions
in Atlanta, published in The Georgian,
Councilman Aldine Chambers, candi-
date for mayor, today gave out the
first formal statement of his views
In part, he said:
"While I see no occasion to be
alarmed at conditions in Atlanta I ad
NIT there are problems requiring the
utmost energy and most careful consid-
Grafton. But we have never seen the
day in our wonderful growth when this
was not the case
THE extension of our limits added
100 per cent to our territory and almost
1000 per cent to our mnicipal needs.
The 100000 bond issue has tenn
porarily increased the strain on the
city treasury through the sinking fund
commission.
THE decision of the county commits
sion to spend 100000 worth Of work
on the city sewers instead of 100000
worth has delayed street work CORE
spondingly.
Means Big Improvements.
But the legislature has amended
the charter, giving the council the right
to revOlutionize the street department
1t will mean wonderful improvements.
"Oficials have come to realize the
need of more improved machinery for
the street department
There should be more cooperation
between the city departments Each
should know at all times what the 9TH
ers are doing.
-Four years ago the widening of
Marietta street was considered a gil
gantic undertaking. Today we realize
it was just a beginning. Similar plans
are being taken up in all sections of the
city
I'VE want no stagnant city We want
our energies taxed to their utmost. BY
this means Atlanta accomplishes things
and keeps in the forefront of develop
ment."

GRACE NOT TOLD
He SDOOMEDM MAN
Too Weak to Receive Word of
Failure of Noted Surgeons.
Mother WeepS.

Eugene H. Grace. at the Georgian
hospital, does not know that his for
lorn hope has failed He will not know
until he Is strong enough to stand the
shock of being told that he Is doomed
to be helpless invalid for life, and
that his life is to be of short duration.
Dr. Baxter s. Moore found Grace
badly nauseated after his operation, and
decided that it would not be well to
tell him today that the operation had
failed. In the meantime Mrs. s. l..
Hill, Grace's mother is with him She,
under the doctors orders, has given
no intimation that an early end to his
helplessness is probable. Weeping be-
cause of the operations failure, she re-
manned away from her sons room to
prevent his seeing her emotion.
Loath to Tell Him of Fate.
His doctors are more than loath to
tell Grace of his fate. He was so SUI
premely confident of the success of the
operation that they fear the shock OF
news of its failure will imperil the brief
life that is in him.
The doctors, too, shared his hopes
From the time they began the opera
ton at 1880 o'clock yesterday morning
until they abandoned hope four hours
and half later, they had believed that
the next few minutes would enable
them to find the bullet and that its ex-
traction would make their patient
whole.
Their disappointment was keen when
the patients condition finally told them
that further probing was impossible.
The operation had been conducted
and planned by X-ray landmarks These
landmarks, the physicians say, were
misleading, and the operation was never
really possible of success.
Friends of Grace and his family
called by the score at the hospital or
over the telephone during the day to
find out the progress of the patient
great interest in him
Will Await His Recovery.
When he will be moved from the
Georgian hospital to his home in New
nan is problematical. DR.. Moore pre-
fers that the patient thoroughly recov-
er from his shock before he attempts
the trip.
THE paralysis is caused not by the
presence of the bullet in the canal"
said DR. Moore TT is from the shock
given when Mr.. Grace was first shot
that he Is now paralyzed. We can dc
nothing to cure that, and l don't think
he has many months longer to live
poor fellow. He's the gamest man
ever operated on"
DR.. J. S. Clifford. who assisted in the
operation, stated that In his experience
the patient, when paralyzed like Grace
Is, usually lived from three to nine
months after the injury. That would
give Eugene Grace scarcely four moro
months to live.
II don't wish to be quoted as saying
that Grace will die in a few months, "
added Dr. Moore. Too many rash
statements have been made in regard
to this case. l don't believe, however,
that he can live. OF course, there's a
don't think it is very strong in this
case"
DR.. Moore stated that the X-ray pho
tographs made OF the wounded mans
back were misleading-that they show
ed the bullet to be in his spinal canal.
when in reality the bullet was not
touching the canal
