Conservation.

The National Conservation Congress is

More time for the eloquence of its elo-
quent members. Let everybody be heard.
and, more or less. needed Now is the
time for developing, and, if possible.
settling. differences. Later, the Congress
on Capitol Hill must tackle the question
and will need. and should have, all pos
sible light.
One of our few-very few-faults as a
people is that We sometimes rush at big
things with scant preparation to deal
with them. We are apt to undertake
too much, and to hurry after beginning
work. Matters are not sufficiently thought
out before construction begins. Then
when We bump into unexpected difficulties
We are halted under circumstances that
beget anger and impatience.
We have just passed through such an
experience with the tariff. The cock-a-
whoop of the House had to be revised by
The Senate: and the work required four
months. We are passing through a simi-
lar experience with the currency; and the
end is not in sight. We are scheduled
for another such experience with the
trusts. There are many men Of many
minds wrestling with that. And now
comes conservation, full of texts for the
capitalists, the lawyers. the promoters,
and all who profess and call themselves
friends of true and beneficent national
development.
When the alarm was first sounded that
were wasting our national resources,
and the prediction made that unless a
halt was called we should soon be bank

what remained. Let no time be lost in
attending to SO momentous a matter. The
way TO conserve was to conserve. Sure
But now We discover that the one ques-
ton has produced a score of others. The
remedy is not as plain as the evil Con-
serve, yes But how?. One plan bumps
into state rights. Another plan bumps
into the national authority. A third plan
might play into the hands of private
capital at the expense of public interests.
\ fourth, in protecting public interests
against private greed, might make de-
velopment impossible. And so on.
Now, of course. when all this is pre-
sented on Capitol Hili-as it must be when
legislation is asked-there will be delay
about action. Legislators will be full Of
curiosity. They will want to understand
before voting They should understand

sons, therefore, is SO much to the good

wasting our natural resources, and We
shall soon need what remains most press
ingly in our business.

Mr.. Wilson and Criticism.

Mr.. Wilson is discovering that a ia
nous old truth applies to men at the top
as well as to men at the bottom. You
cannot please everybody. Do what you
may. there will be somebody to rise up
and protest
When Mr.. Wilson as Governor of New
Jersey defeated the senatorial aspirations
of James Smith. jr., he was charged with
ingratitude. Mr.. Smith, it was shown,
had helped him to the governorship. and
in turn, it was contended. should have
been assisted by him to the senatorship.
But DIR. Wilson could not see the matter
that way. Without denying his obliga-
tions to Mr.. Smith, he insisted that his
obligations to the people of New Jersey
as respected the senatorship were greater:
and So by Mr.. Wilson's Decree down
went Mr.. Smith and up came Mr.. Mar
tine.
When Mr.. Wilson, by withdrawing Mr..
Clayton from the senatorial contest in
Alabama, virtually declared for Mr.. I'm
derwood he was accused of meddIing
where he had no right Let the people
of Alabama be left free to choose their
own public servants. And yet Mr.. Will
sons act was strictly one of gratitude.
Mr.. Underwood as leader of the House
had stood for the Wilson tariff policy,
and here was his reward. In the light of
the New Leadership. could Mr. Wilson
have done less?
When the war on Tammany in the
mayoralty matter waxed warm, and Mr..
Wilson gave his sympathy to the enemies
OF Tammany, many politicians charac-
terized his action as ungrateful. Had
not Tammany, then in complete control
of the state. carried New York for the
Baltimore ticket last year. notwithstand-
ing the lambasting it had received at the
national convention? Should not Mr.. Will
son at least have kept hands off?
The latest case under discussion is that
of the appointment of Otto Wittpen of
New Jersey to be naval officer of the port
of New York. Here objection is raised
to the appointment on the allegation that
Mr.. Wilson is using the office to dis
charge a political debt. In the recent
gubernatorial contest in New Jersey Mr..
Wittpen retired as an aspirant for the
democratic nomination in favor of Gov.
Fielder, whom Mr.. Wilson preferred, and
now Mr.. Wittpen gets his reward. Clearly.
Mr.. Wilson has not been ungrateful
toward Mr.. Wittpen, although New York
democrats-and particularly those in
Brooklyn-may object to having one OF
their choicest plums bestowed upon an
outsider.
And SO it goes. Mr.. Wilson is on both
sides of the ledger. Now he is charged
with ingratitude, and now. in his efforts
to show gratitude. with exceeding the
legitimate provinces of his Office. The
New Leadership has its perils but the
New Freedom invites them, and Mr.. Will
son, having set out on the New Course,
will probably keep on keeping on.

The Park Public Comfort Stations.

The assistant secretary OF war, before
whom arguments have been made rela-
tive to the location in three Of the city
parks Of public comfort stations, will
doubtless give the fullest consideration
10 the views OF the citizens who have ap-
peared before him representing the three
neighborhoods affected. 1t has been
shown that in each case there will be a
change from the old location except in
Lafayette Square. where the former site
is 10 be occupied. There is substantial
argument for change in thiS instance
and there would seem to be no particular
reason why the change should he made
III the other two parks. An establish
ment Of this nature should be as incon-
spicuous as possible, and should be To-
Gated with reference to the greatest pub
lie use and convenience. with the least
possibility of annoyance or embarrass-
ment 10 adjacent residents. The fact
that work has been started should not
necessarily govern in the determination
OF the cases. for precipitancy Is no rea-
son for persisting in a selection that is
Objectionable from the point of view of
the public welfare. As suggested at the
hearing before the assistant secretary.
the ideal equipment would be an under
ground construction in each case, but this
would cost considerably more than the
funds available for the purpose. 1t Is to
be hoped that in reaching decision the
War Department will be guided by the
reflection that these stations are definite
~ designed for the public comfort and
should not be made in any way nui-
sance. but that the incidental discomfor,
and annoyance of their existence should
be kept az minimum.

Street Safety.

Next Tuesday a meeting will be held in
this city OF the Street Safety Associa-
ton, which was organized last spring as
result of The Stars agitation for a
stricter enforcement of the traffic rules
and for the education of the children of
the city in the matter of care in the
streets. Speakers have been secured who
Will present three aspects of this general
question of safety, in the city, on the
railroad and in the mine. Local interest
naturally centers in the matter of urban
safety. which affects every family, but
the whole subject is one deserving of
attention, and the meeting will doubtless
prove of value in stimulating a helpful
interest in the general subject of life
conservation.
That the lesson of street carefulnesS
has not been learned in this city Is con-
stantIy shown by street accidents that
are definitely avoidable and due to heed
lessness Yesterday little girl who was
crossing a street, and according to OBJ
servers was exercising due care was
struck by a wagon turning a corner
sharply. The child was seriously injured
This is another instance of the indif-
ference of those in charge of vehicles
10 the rule which gives the pedestrian
the right of way at street crossings, to
which The Star called attention the other
day.
There will be no safety in the streets
until all chauffeurs and drivers are
brought to the point of strict observance
of the rules and all pedestrians are
taught to stop, look and listen" before
stepping on the curb and to cross streets
only at intersections. The strictest OBJ
servance of the regulations by one side
while the other is negligent leaves q

crush in the stole one finds during the
few days preceding Christmas. Plenty of
time may be taken in selecting the gifts.

vote more attention to their customers.

be performed with greater comfort to all
concerned. Then, too, the stores have
practically all of their holiday goods in
stock now.2 And never has there been a
more lavish or comprehensive display of
articles suitable for Christmas gifts. New
York's great merchants seem TO have out
done themselves in their efforts to gather
from al. quarters of the globe the latest
novelties OF every description. Every
thing is fresh now, and the early shop
per will have the advantage of the widest
selection.

Vacation Dangers.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
OF the cases of typhoid fever reported
in Chicago during October, Health Com
missioner Young's statistics show that
391a per cent were contracted out of town.
DR.. Young declares that the reason for
this lies in the fact that more than the
average number of Chicago people left
the city during last summer owing to the
unusual heat, and that the impure drink
ing water supply of many summer re-
sorts was responsible for much of the
typhoid. In this connection it is worth
while to question the good that comes
from many summer vacation spent in a
stuffy hotel such as is found in the aver
age summer resort The vacationist. in
order to obtain the doubtful benefits of
purer air and rural environment has
poor accommodation, poorer food than he
obtains at home a lack Of many of the
pleasures which the city offers and takes
a large risk of disease which will more
than nullify any benefits that he might
obtain from sojourn in the country.
