A. NEW EXPOSITION IDEA
To Be Presented BY the National Con-
servatlon Exposition, Knox
willie, Tennessee, 1918.

During the first decade OF the TWEEN
tieth century new realization of the
value and importance of the natural
resources took shape. Through scien-
tific surveys by State and the Federal
! Government, designed primarily to
make the resources known and guide
their exploitation, the Quantities oil
standing timber, of iron ore and coal
in the ground and of other natural
materials, we're measured; and the
quantities were found not unlimited
according 10 the common boast in the
heydey of early exploitation, but of
such amounts as to meet current de-
mands for only a certain number of
years, easily reckoned and understood
in terms OF he written history of man.
kind-e. &, at the current increasing
rate of use computed in 1908 the stand
ing timber of the country would last
a generation, the high-grade iron ore
a century, and the good coal from one
to three centuries, according to the
varying allowanc 8 made by different
computers. In short, it became clear
that the standard resources on which
our great and growing industries rest
are foredoomed to exhaustion within
q small fraction of the period already
covered by the Christian era, unless
means be adopted 10 prevent waste
and otherwise conserve the natural
stores for the benefit of posterity. AS
understanding of the limitation of the
natural resources spread, moral sense
ural right of the rising generation
(and of generations still to GOMEZ to
fair share of the resources took form;
and the natural wealth of this mag
nificently endowed country came to be
viewed as involving moral no less than
material considerations. Numberless
manifestations of the new view have
apeared-in legal enactments, the Gre
alton of state commissions, the i'm
provement of educational curricula,
etc; but no more striking indication
of the modern view has appeared than
the idea of national exposition de-
signed to illustrate the conservation
and development OF the natural re-
sources with view to the permanent
enrichment of the country and people
The change thus wrought in the expo
sition idea is fundamental; the old |
exposition looked backward, the new
looks forward; the old exposition was
solely material, the new is essentially |
moral; the old was proud boast of |
achievement, the new signpost to |
progress and an assurance. of perpetu.
lty. The expositions of the past were
as songs /, Of achievement at the end |
Of good days work, the National
Exposition will be a 1iv-
ng and tangible promise of still
more glorious tomorrow foreordained
BY the wise action Of to-day. /

Washington, d. c., March 27-The

gun a comprehensive investigation into
what is known as the new western
classification of reight rates filed by all
the railroads operating west of Chicago.
The inquiry is the most comprehensive
ever undertaken by the commission, with
the single exception of the investigation
into the general adyEnces in freight rates
a year or more ago.
All of the western railroads have filed
with the commission this new "westen
classification" The experts of the rail-
roads were engaged three years in pre-
pairing the new classification, and it was
undertaken practically at the sugges-
tion of the interstate commerce commits
sion. When the matter was placed be.
fore the commission, however, some OF
its members got the idea that the rail
roads had awaited themselves of this
opportunity to secure by indirect meth

Jed, W. Va, Coal and Coke Mine
Was Pronounced Safe
HAD INSPECTION ON FRIDAY
Only Eleven Men Escaped Alive and One
OF Them Died Immediately on Being
Brought to the Surface-Rescu-
ers Are Now at Work.

WEIGH, w. Va, March eighty
two men were killed yesterday by gas
explosion in jed coal and coke mine at
jed, w. Va, six miles from here. Only
II escaped alive, and one of those died
within an hour after reaching the sur
face. Many bodies have been located
and rescuers hope to have them out
shortly.
Less than half an hour after news of
the explosion reached here, relief meas
ures were organized, but the government
mine experts on arrival, Immediately
conceded that all in the mine were dead.
The mine was inspected last Friday and
pronounced safe. The cause OF the ex-
plosion has not vet been determined.
Following the explosion, afterdamp
peryaded the entire works and it was
impossible for any rescue work to be-
gin.
Deputy State Mine Inspector Arthur
Mitchell arrived from Bluefelds an hour
after the explosion occurred. Miners
who had worked during the night and
were then in their homes were brought
TO the mine and organized into rescue
parties.
Because of the deadly afterdamp, in
which no human being can live for an
instant, it was impossible for the res
cuers to 60 further than few hundred
feet in the mine.
The Jed mine worked day and night
shifts, employing in all about $50, both
whites and negroes. IL is a shaft mine
and has been operated on a non-union
basis. The $50 employees with their
families comprised practically the entire
population Of Jed.
Il is not thought that any part of the
mine is on fire. Some smoke and fumes
issued from the mine opening immedi-
ately after the explosion, but now this
has disappeared and there is nothing to
indicate flames inside. The blast was
