ANOTHER SALOON GLOSED This Time Lightning Strikes in Gnl_ul Rapids. An order from the United States Indian agents compels A. M. John- son, a saloonkeeper at Giand Rapids, to close his doors. The complain by which John- son’s place was closed was that he had been furnishing men with liquor for conducting blind pigs at Deer River, and also furnishing liquors to men who took the stuff into prohibited Indian territory. Some Deer River saloonkeepers, since the order to close there was issued, have made a practice of coming to Grand Rapids and re- turning home with suitcases and satchels full of liquor. Complaint has also been entered against the places of Anthony Mc- Alpine and John McDonald, but the matter of closing them will be al- lowed to rest, awaiting further devel- opments. It is expected the drastic action taken in the case of Johnson will be sufficient warning to others, and that the practice of allowing boot- leggers to carry on indiscriminate traffic in liquor will be stopped.

Laid In a Stock. ‘When the late Pierre Lorillard was a boy, bix motber, being annoyed by motbs that destroyed the woolen cloth- Ing and other material of the house- bold. agreed to pay him a cent apiece for every moth he would kill in the house and bring to her. The same bargain was made with bis brothers, Jake, George and Louis. In course of time Mrs. Lorillard noticed that, while the other children collected from her at intervals from 10 to 25 cents, Pierre drew on her frequently for a $1 at a time, indorsing his drafts with 100 dead moths. Investigation revealed the bent of the future finaneier as well as bis early adaptability to moth- ods governing the acquirement - of wealth. Having procured from a fur rier some pieces of fur thrown away because they were Infested with moths, Pierre secreted them in an old chest in an unused closet.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF Declares That From Beginning of World the Preaching of Righteous- ness Has Been Opposed by Those Whose Particular Privilege Has Been Attacked—Fundamental Prin- ciples of the Idea Few and Simple. St. Paul, Sept. 9.—The principal speech of the last day’s session of the National Conservation congress was made by Gifford Pinchot, deposed chief forester. His subject was “The Conservation Programme” and he said, in part: Like nearly every great reform con- servation first passed through a period of agitation and general approval. Dur- ing this period it met with little oppo- sition, for as yet it interfered with no man’s private profit. From the be- ginning of the world the preaching of righteousness in general terms has been contemplated with entire equa- nimity by the men who rise in vio- lent protest the moment their own particular privilege, graft or advan- tage, comes practically into question. That protest marks the second phase of the reform. ‘Within the last two years conserva- tion has passed out of the realms of an unimpeachable general principle into that of a practical fighting at- tempt to get things done. It has be- gun to step on the toes of the bene- ficiaries and the prospective beneficia- ries of unjust privilege and the result- ing opposition, considering the quar- ters whence it comes, is one of the best of proofs that conservation is a live movement for the general good. Special Interests Fight Idea. When the conservation movement began to tell it developed without de- lay that the one great obstacle to practical progress lay in the political power of the special interests. Every effort to conserve any natural resource for the general welfare was met by the legislative agents of the men who wanted to exploit it for their private profit. The efforts to get things done in conservation taught us clearly, un- mistakably and with little delay that so long as the political domination of the great business interests endures their corrupt control of legislation will carry with it the monopolistic control of the natural resources also. This is what we face today in the effort to apply conservation. The fundamental principles of con- servation are few and simple. One of the first is this—that the natural re- sources and natural advantages belong to all the people and should be de- veloped, protected and perpetuated di- rectly for the benefit of all the people, and not mainly for the profit of a few. Another is that the natural re- sources still owned by the people which are necessaries of life, like coal and water power, should remain in public ownership and should be dis- posed of only under lease for limited periods and with fair compensation to the public for the rights granted. As to Our Waters. First—Every stream should be made useful for every purpose in which it can be made to serve the public. The preparation of a broad plan is needed without delay for the development of our waterways for navigation, domes- tic supply, irrigation, drainage and power. . Second—Every power site in state or federal control should be held sc and should be disposed of only under lease for a limited time and with fair compensation to the public. Third—In the development of our waterways the co-operation of the states with the nation is essential for the general welfare, As to Our Forests. First—All forests necessary for the public welfare should be in the public ownership, such as the national for- ests already in existence, the proposed Appalachian and White Mountain na- tional forests and the state forests of New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and other states. Second—The protection of forests against fire is the first duty in forestry of states and nation alike. The way to stop fires is to get men to them as soon as they begin. The maintenance and extension of forest fire patrol by the nation, the states and:their sub- divisions, and by associations or pri- vate citizens who own timber lands, is absolutely necessary. Third—The protection of existing forests by wise use is the first step in forestry. Reforestation is the sec- ond. Fourth—Land bearing forests should be taxed annually on the land value alone and the timber crop should be taxed when it is cut, so that private forestry may be encouraged. Fifth—The private ownership of for- est land is a public trust and the peo- ple have both the right and the duty to regulate the use of such lands in the general interest. As to Our Lands. First—Every acre of land should be put to whatever use will make it most useful to all the people. -Second—The fundamental object of our land policy ‘'should be the making and maintenance of permanent, pros- perous homes. Land monopoly and excessive holdings must not be toler- ated. Third—Settlement must be encour- aged by every legitimate means on all land that will support homes, Thus the tillable land in public ownership within ‘and . without the national for- ests should be disposed of in fee sim- pfe to actual homemakers, but not to speculators. ‘Fourth—The first and most needy thing to do for our cultivated lands is to-preserve-their fertility by prevent- Pays His Respects to Inter- ests at Conservation Gongre: Photo by American Press Assoclation. ing” erosion. Fifth—The nonirrigable arid public grazing lands should be administered by the government in the interest of the small stockmen and the home- maker until they can pass directly into the hands of actual settlers. Sixth—Rights to the surface of the public land should be separated from rights to the forests upon it and the minerals beneath it and each should be held subject to separate disposal. The timber . and stone act should be re- pealed. As to Our Minerals. First—Those still remaining in gov- ernment ownership should not be sold, but should be leased upon terms fa- vorable for their development up. to the full requirements of our people. Until legislation ‘to this effect can be enacted temporary withdrawals of land containing coal, oil, gas and phos- phate rock are required in order to prevent speculation and. monopoly. Second—It is the clear duty of the federal government, as well as that of the states in their sphere, to provide, through investigation, legislation and regulation, against loss of life and waste of mineral resources in mining. The recent creation of a national bu- reau of mines makes a real advance in the right direction. Regarding National Efficiency. First—The maintenance of national and state conservation commissions is necessary to ascertain and make public the facts as to our natural re- sources. Such commissions supply the fundamental basis for co-operation between the nation and the states for the development and protection of the foundation of our prosperity. Second—A national health service is needed to act in co-operation with similar agencies within the states for the purpose of lengthening life, de- creasing suffering and promoting a vigor and efficiency of our people. These are notall the things for which conservation stands, but they are some of the more important. Hiding Behind States’ Rights. In the effort to conserve our natural resources we recognize that combina- tions against the public welfare which extend beyond state lines can be met effectively only by agencies equally capable of operating across such boundaries. It is clear that the con- trol of interstate commercial power is possible only by the use of interstate federal power. We are opposed to the extension of state jurisdiction at the expense of real control by the people over monopoly as in the case of water power. ‘While I do not believe that the state alone can carry out the conser- vation programme in the face of in- terstate attacks upon it I do not fail to recognize the great and useful part which the states must play in this great movement for the permanent welfare of all our people. Also I ap- preciate now, as-I have always done, that in much of the work ahead co- operation. between the states and the nation is an essential condition of suc- cess. But when I see the special in- terests attempting to take refuge be- hind the doctrine of states’ rights I propose to speak out and say so. P23 TS Open Pennsylvania Tunnels.
