Gardner has moral courage. else he
would not have undertaken to start a
fight for better national defense at a
time when public opinion was not
with him--there being no war in sight
then to help him out. Here Is an ex.
cellent example Of his courage in an
other direction:
A few years ago Gardner began to
take on weight. To be frank, he grew
fat. Having in mind the days when
he was athletic and supple, he set
about reducing by means of systematic
exercise. He played golf--the game
that, as somebody was saying. has

in the hot sun one day, Gardner had
something akin to sunstroke. The doc

SAVE THE WATER POWER.

The following letter to the Editor
of The Chicago Eagle from Clifford
Pinchot. whose fame as a forester Is
national, explains itself:
CLIFFORD PINCHOT,
Milford, Pike Co.. Pa.
April 10, 1916.
Henry F. Donovan,
Editor. The Eagle,
Chicago, Ill.
My dear Mr.. Donovan:
The Ubiquitous Shields bill, giving
away the waterpowers on our navi.
gable streams, about which | wrote
you on February Is, has been driven
through the Senate, but 1t has not
passed the House. There IL still o
good chance not only to stop this raid
on public property, but to pass a fair
and honest waterpower bill In its
place.
Everything said about the Shields
bill In my letter to you was confirmed
in the debate. According to It's own
power interests waterpower equiva.

every kind now used In the United
States, or enough to meet the needs
Of two hundred million people. This
IL does in perpetuity, although pre-
tending to limit the grant to fifty
years. Small wonder there Is pres
sure to get 1t through
On March 81 substitute for the
Shields bill was reported to the House
of Representatives. Unlike the Shields
bill, this House bill makes no per-
petual grant OF public waterpower, but
wisely and in fact sets limit Of fifty
years. Nevertheless, It is not yet a
good bill. For example, II gives away
the public waterpowers without com
pensation. There is no reason why
the waterpower corporations should
not pay for what they get. The rest
of us do. The House bin should be
amended accordingly.
II the House corrects its own bill
and then passes it, the good bill from
the House and the bad bill from tbs
Senate will go 10 conference, and the
differences will be adjusted by the
conferees. The managers OF the wa
terpower campaign believe that ma
jority of the conferees will be friendly
to them, and will report bill in theil
interest. They will then try TO usl
the conference bill through, probabl!
in the confused and crowded iina
hours of the session. Such "A plaT

forth a feet of submersible merchant

and intelligent to build On. Serious
difficulties confronted us, and continued
for some years, but we surmounted them,
and forged ahead, reunited people.
But what is to be done, with anything
like early benefit in Mexico, If the peon
and his capacity to help are to be made
the hopef He has never really assisted
in forming or conducting government.
The only settled, safe and prosperous
conditions he has ever known were un-
der Diaz, who called his government a
republic, and let it go at that. He is
not qualified today to assist in forming
or conducting government. That work
must be done for him by those capable
of it. That his interests should be con-
sidered and conserved all should con-
cede.
The great task in Mexico will follow
the suppression of brigandage. Blood
shed and looting must, of course, be
stopped. Then must come setting the
house in order. The public credit must
be established, waste places built up,
and agriculture, grazing and mining
again made profitable. All this will re-
quire time.

throes of warfare-real warfare-for
four years. But the population of the
United States and that of Mexico are
not comparable. At the close Of our
strife We had something substantial
