What Is Conservation.

No sane mind can question the
wisdom of conservation. Com.
munities and regions may com
tinue for years in the enjoyment
of a certain resource without at
tempting to conserve it. But
under civilized conditions the
seeds of want are sOWn when
man attempts to use natural
resource without providing for
its conservation.
Doubters will ask why the in
dividual citizen of Louisiana
should be interested, for in
stance, in conserving oyster re-
sources of Louisiana. Will it at.
feet the individual worker and
tax payer? Undoubtedly and in
many ways. 1t is not necessary
that every one be a devotee of
oysters to appreciate the bene-
fit of conserving them. If oys-
tiers are scarce, those who like
them will have to pay higher
prices for them, and will
have less money, perhaps, to
spend in the line of business of
someone who has NO use for
oysters.
AS surely as the sun rises and
sets, the abundance or scarcity
of natural resources have their
influence on individual prospect
ty. Real prosperity in a settled
country without conservation
is impossible.
The public seldom realizes the
with which resources may be
destroyed. or, on the other hand
the rapidity with which pros
porous natural conditions may
be restored by the introduction
OF conservation methods. Ma
ture takes care of herself if per.
mitted sufficient periods of re-
generation after more or less COLI
timed demand on her resources.
While the results of cOnserva-

are not always obvious, the re

resources are never less than d.

Exteu ding Unionism

In the American Federation of Labor convention
In Philadelphia yesterday the federation considered
campaign to thoroughly organize school teachers,
stenographers, bookkeepers domestic servants farm
ers, and commercial telegraphers There is no doubt
but that concrete organization looking to the regu
lation of wages and hours of service would be Of
benefit to men and women engaged in the callings
enumerated The only drawback to the scheme
however, lies in the fact that farm labor, domestic
servants and even the ordinary of office "clerk
ing is NOT SKILLED LABOR And all attempts,
hitherto, to organize class of workers who not
TRAINED in trade, have been unsuccessful. There
is question but that workers included in this clas
sification are VICTIMS OF THE GREED AND
PERJURY OF EMPLOYERS. 1t may be that proper
organization would relieve these workers of the yoke
OF Low Wages and Long Hours and Intermittent
Employment 1t is significant that employers who
have only to deal with workers protected by unions
are less ARROGANT, less prone to fault finding and
nagging and obviously, are under compulsion to
