he added, and then, after a short pause
he said: IT notice you do not applaud

1.-THE Government at Washington has
been TREMENDOUSLY suspicious of those
who have approached 1t for rights in
forest reserves, water reserves. and
mineral eserves," the governor COLI
tinued. They have looked with suspi-
cion upon every applicant. The thing
that has to be done is this: The raw
material of this country must be at the
disposal of everybody in the Unite1
States upon the same terms.
1T is believed in this country that the
poor man has less chance to get JUS
tice than the rich man. God forbid that
that should be generally true. But sc
long as that is true, the oeilef consti-
tutes a threatening fact.
Old Party Lines Breaking.
"One of the reasons why there wers
mt merely two parties contending for
the supremacy at the recent election
one reason why the field Of choice WAS
varied and multiplied, was that the Ole
lines are breaking where they are OLD
est. and that men are no longer to DC
catalogued, no longer to be found oy
dead reckoning, no longer TO be put In
classes as If their thinking had beer
concluded and they were no longer
casting abroad for the things which
they should think and the things they
should do. America has come upon q
new period of thinking, and she is going
to think her way out to triumphant
solution of her difficulties.
There are some perfectly clear lines

and administer the common resources
Of this country for The common oenent.
why Is II that the Government OF
the United States up to this moment
las not hit upon a consistent policy of
conservation? 1t has not. You must De

is not policy of conservation. 1t is IN
one sense a policy of conservation, for
it -conserves, but no nation can merely
keep out of use its resources in order
that they may not be sqbandered and
oissipated. We must devise some pro-
cess OF general use"
Speech Causes Talk.
Judging by the reports iE the Chicago
morning papers today, the speech of
Prdsideno-elect Woodrow Wilson has
caused feelings of mingled emotions
among the great men of commerce, in
dussfy, ard finance who heard it
The Tribune says: Woodrow Wilson
delivered an appeal and warning. He
was thoroughly In earnest and there
was not a man present who did not feel
some time that Governor Wilson'S re-
marks hit him personally"
The Record Herald SAYS Woodrow
Wilson looked several billion dollars
right in the eye and told them that mo-
nopoly would be squeezed out of their
business either with their assistance or
by duress. They applauded the gener-
alities of the speakers discourse, which
left them wondering whether he was
pronouncing sentence or promise
The Examiner says: ''President-elcct
Wilson invited men representing billions
OF dollars to join hands With him in
conducting his Administration. The men
of money assembled before him seemed
TO take his speech as warning"
