THE NEW CONSERVATION.

Conservation Is one Of those questions
which possess so many aspects that you
can never say 1t has been threshed out
once and for all. The question has been
in the air ever since Roosevelt brought 1t
prominently to the fore. and less than a
year ago Theodore N. Vail once more re-
minded Vermonters of the importance Of
guarding their forests. II they expected to
save the States supply Of wood and
maintain Its water and power sources.
There is nothing new in the idea that
the cutting Of young trees is sheer waste
and directly opposed to the spirit of con-
servation. There ought to be nothing new
In the notion that the killing Of young
beeves or chickens or eve lambs is like
wise waste. waste Of the most foolhardy
sort now that the war has made an album
dance Of food necessary. Kill the calves.
and not only Is the future supply Of beef
diminished. but the milk supply: kin the
chickens before they become hens. and
there will be fewer eggs: and now the
Middle West IL crying out against the
killing Of ewe lambs. which 1t says is
endangering the supply Of wool.
One estimate puts the amount of wool Of
1917 at about one-third that Of the average
Of several years past. Already the United
Ststes is importing most Of It's wool from
Australia and Argentina and prices are
constantly advancing. Recently the gov
eminent took the decline Of the sheep
raising industry SO seriously that 1t sent
out men to Vermont and other States to
investigate the possibilities of re-estab-
fishing the industry.
The country Is complaining about food
prices: a year hence or less 1t will be wor-
rying over the prices Of wool clothing.
The present emergency calls for a new
sort of conservation. the conservation. not
Of the country's forests and mineral re-
sources. but Of it's young livestock. sheep.
hogs and poultry.

he said that it is easy enough to ex-
pound democracy as applied to issues
that are past, but that the more impor-

new issues as they arise. In the great
new issue which now confronts the
country, he is interpreting democracy
