LOBBYISTS VS.. CONSERVAnONISTS.

1t was in a ferment of popular enthusiasm for
popular cause that the great conservation move
ment in this country was inaugurated. Organza-
tions effected by States and national congress
was formed which has presumed to reflect the na-
tional sentiment in favor of Federal treatment Of
conservation questions. In its earlier phases the
movement was in the hands of men who sincerely
stood for the interests of the public and we're ready
to oppose those of private corporate expoiters.
At that time the gatherings were marked by a
good deal more of enthusiasm than of constructive
effort. Everybody in favor of doing the right
thing, but few had very definite ideas what the right
thing was, or how to get it done.
The present gathering of the national conserva-
ton congress, it must be observed, includes good
many people who look like Trojan horses. There
too many delegates from water power States who
represent exploiting interests rather than public con-
Germs. Anybody familiar with the methods and the
personnel of the water power lobbies that have been
present in Washington so much of the time in recent
years, will recognize familiar faces among the dele
gates to the present gathering and will wonder, if he
watches long enough, whether this is really con-
servation gathering or a reunion Of the lobby.
Delegates to the convention come from the States
with credentials from the governors. Now that the
p tpular zeal for the has somewhat subsided,
the agents of selfish interests find it easy enough to
get credentials from their governors or other au-
thorities that have the appointing power, and these
come here, masquerading as Simon-pure conserva-
tionists when in fact they are devotng their ener
gies to the defeat of the very purposes which are
presumed to animate, and did originally animate,
these gatherings.
To say this is by no means to impugn the motives
of all, or probably majority, of the men who are
taking part in this gathering. 1t is merely calling
attention to condition that cannot escape the no.
tice of people who have been observing the evolution
of this movement.
few years ago the Civic Federation sent
commission to study municipal ownership abroad.
1t was strangely constituted commission, in which
the franchise-holding utility interests, instnctIvely
hostile to public ownership, were strongly repre-
sented. The result was joint debate between two
factions, which found reflection in the reports, one
side finding much to commend, and the other finding
everything to condemn, in the experience of Euro
pean cities with public ownership
Some time after those reports were made pub
lie it accidentally developed that great public
utility concern in New York had furnished big
share of the money that financed the study in Eu-
rope
to its decisions by demonstrating any similar lean
ing toward special interests. The clearest possible
proof of its independence of such influence. will be
the best certificate of character for the conclusions
its deliberations may reach.

INTERESTING TALK ON
THE forest RANGER

The Milford New Century Club gave
a great treat to the citizens of Milford.
last Monday evening, When Mrs. Lydia
A. Williams, of Washington, gave a
lecture on ''The Forest Ranger" Had
the weather been pleasant a much lar
ger audience would have greeted Mrs.
Williams, but notwithstanding the rainy
night about 100 people were present.
Mrs. Williams lecture was illustrated
with l3O stereoptican views. and gave
a very definite idea of what is being ac-
complishud in the far west, to preserve
the great National forests of our Coun-
try. The means of fighting fires were
shown, by the views and as the speaker
would tell of the peril and disater avert
ed by these brave fire-fghters. a picture
would appear, showing men using wet
sacks etc. beating out the small blaze,
or telephoning to headquarters for
more adequate assistance. Pictures of
the routes being made through the
widest country, of snowcapped peaks.
of the simple log cabins erected for
these rangers, of the rushing torrents
the great gOrges and the large
herds of cattle, raised on the clearer
places, made an eVerchanging scene
and the evenings entertainment an
event not to be forgotten. Quite a
number of the boy scouts took advan-
tage of this treat, and it is earnestly
hoped Milford may again have Mrs. |
Williams deliver another lecture and |
that all the school children may attend. |
The lecture lasted over an hour, but
everyone present wished it had lasted |
onger, as there was not one dull mo-
nent from beginning to end. Mrs.
Williams was most enthusiastically ap-
llauded as the lecture ended. Only
even towns in Delaware are to have
his lecture, and it was through the in
luence of Mrs G. w. Marshall, State
chairman of Conservation that Milford

SMYRNA DEFEATED MILFORD.

The Smyrna High School Basket Bal
team joined to Milford last Thursday
evening and played Milford High School
Quintette in the Armory Hall. The
first hall ended with a II to 9 in favor
of Milford, but in the second half the
Smyrna boys come back strong and at
the end of the game the score stood
q to l5 in their favor. The SMYRNA
Quintette showed much better team
work and was the stronger team at all
times in the game. The star of the
game was David Warren. Milford's
centre, who made II of Milford's total
of Is points. With a little practice and
coaching the Milford should make one
of the best basket ball organizations on
this peninsula, but they had the dis
advantage last Thursday of playing a
team which has had very proficient
in the game. Referees of the
game were Erhart and Bruner. Time
