CONSERVATION.

one OF the next big fights coming
up In congress is over conservation,
with special reference 10 coal and
water power. Mexico. the tariff and
currency have so far kept this issue
in the background but it can't remain
there continually.
Alaska must be opened up. This
great empire, rich in it's coal and val
uable metals has been at a standstili
for five years. because the American
people protested and kept TAFT and
Ballinger from turnins the whole
country over to the Gugseuheims. and
because since then the Guggenheims
have been In a position 20 prevent
anybody else doing anything.
The present restrictive policy is
growing intolerable. Settlement must
be made on broad grounds that Will
preserve 10 the whole people the ben
efits OF the great wealth OF the coun-
try. and yet that will encourage rapid
development of that wealth.
Good coal is high and scarce on the
coast. The Pacific naval squadron
gets its coal from Pennsylvania, car
ried 5000 miles,overland or around the
straits OF Magellan. while good coal
lies close at hand in Alaska Alaskan
industry can't use the coal that lies
right at its feet.
We have confidence that the Wilson
administration will show its customary
broadrnindedness. its customary reso-
luton and good sense when it tackles
this problem. and Will settle il on a
permanent. fair basis which will mean
the upbuilding OF the west
As 20 water power we are again
hearing that old cry OF states rights
whenever federal regulation Is pro-
posed.
Though the democratic party has
long been swayed by the theory that
as much government as possible should
be vested in local and state authori-
ties and the power OF a big top-heavy
central government curbed. still il is
exceedingly doubtful II progressive
democrats will attach much import
ance 10 this speciOus plea.

opportunity to pillage and to corrupt.
In the pressure Of a thousand bills
in state legislatures it has been found
comparatively easy TO slip through a
bill giving away valuable rights. 1t
has been found exceedingly difficult
moreover. TO put through general leg
islation or constitutional amendments
which would forever prevent these

The water power interests are rap
idly becoming concentrated in the
hands OF few giant corporations, not
intra-state corporations but inter-
state corporations The government
must regulate them.
In an industrial age such as this,
power is going to be one of the most
valuable things that society has to

TIE BULL MOOSE FUTURE.

With the successor to L. S. Sen.
Shively to be chosen by popular vote,
some of the politicians around the
state are doing some quiet figuring.
Doubtless Mr.. Beveridge would like
TO go back to his old desk. but most
bull moosers who are really wise are
keeping pretty quiet nowadays till
they see how things turn out.
Mr. Beveridge is keeping pretty
cheerful and asserting every once in
a while that the progressive party
still lives, and that there will be no
compromise, but it is still an open
question whether he isn't just whist
ling TO keep up his courage.
One thing is certain. If the repub-
licans succeed in uniting with the bull
moosers they will surely have to
clean house This means not only
eliminating the indefensible southern
delegate plan. by which the old lead
ers forced the nomination of Taft in
defiance of the wishes of the majority
reform of the national committee so
that it will be responsive TO the wish
es OF the voters. but II will have
to throw out of power the old Barnes
Smoot- -Penrose crowd. And those men
are showing no very apparent signs Of
willingness 10 be deposed.
No man who left the republican
party will go back as long as such
men are permitted to control its af-
fairs.

Bonapartist yeast is working under
the surface of all the country; the
time will come when a single crashing
blow perhaps will shake France and

accolade Of the emperor of your in

said, you may be one day a Marshal

II is for you 10 fulfill that prophecy"
The general, his big hands on his big
knees, stared at the boy with burning
eyes, stirred by his own words into a
true French access OF enthusiasm.
But the boys eyes did not meet his as
usual with the flame of whole-hearted
response which he loved; yet the gen
eral, carried away by his own gener-
Gus feelings, was not dissatisfied. This
was his boy; what he did was right

out in a sigh of large contentment.

my words / have not managed to tell
you what II is that | am talking

which lay under his hand. "Pietro
wants you TO come TO him a.. his

Francois large eyes lifted to the
generals face, inquiring. startled,
childlike. 'Pietro!" he said slowly
Il had NOT thought of that"
Yet you knew that Pietro was
heart and soul in the plots of the
Italian patriots" ?"
YES"
But you had not thought of going
TO help him ight?"
mo, my Seigneur l had thought
only of the fight for which l must be
ready here"
This italian business will be good
practise" said the general, as a man
of today might speak of a tennis tour
nament. And you and Pietro will be
enchanted to be together again"
Francois smiled, and something in
the smile wrung the generals heart.
Francois, you are not going to be
unhappy about little Alike ?"

startled now. "A thousand thunders,

Yes. tomorrow. then. let il be-"
Francois stood up. slim, young,
alert and steady. yet somehow not as
the boy who had come in 10 the gen
eral an hour before; more, perhaps,
as a man who had been through a
battle and come out very tired, with
the noise Of the fighting in his ears.

general called TO him as his hand
touched the latch.
"Francois!"

about, steady and grave. and stood
holding the door.
Francois, my son-I have not hurt
you-very much? You do not love

There was a shock of stiffness in
the old dim library. Through the
window-where the children's shouts
had come in ten years before to the
marquis and the -general-one heard
now in the quiet the sudden staccatO
