The Real Thing

A sentence In Taft's address, rgarded by the "state rights" advocates as fadlcating his opposition to federal conservation was as follows: "I am firmly convinced that we should hold fast to the restrictions of the constitution and firmly uphold the powers of the states. "It will be a sorry day for this country when the rights of states as originally defined come to be disregarded." News Item.

The whole business of conservation, if there Is anything to It whatsoever, Is manifestly whether any legislation purporting to be conservation really conserves. Therefore the question of the people is not whether we want "states rights conservation" or "federal conservation" as far as these be theoretical distinctions, but whether one or the other or both of them is the real thing. For the next few days while the conservation congress is in session in St. Paul we shall hear much about it and about It and then some. There are the huskies from f.he very far west who are coming under the leadership of Gov. Hays and who are inspired confessedly by the J. J. Hill interests. .They are talking about states rights conservation. These are the friends of Ballinger. Then we have the Gifford Pinchot type which is Intent on federal regulation.

To begin with no one will say for a minute that states ought not to safe guard their rights to the fullest extent to conserve their natural resources and keep them from falling Into private hands without sufficient recompense If they can. But that "if they can" is the whole root and branch of the contention. As Roosevelt said ' in his Osawatomie speech it is perfectly absurd to listen to the prating about the rights of the states to conserve their resources through the means of their legislatures when the company which Is to be feared is doing an Interstate business.

Moreover this Is a government In which it Is supposed to' be an axiom that the majority shall rule and the rule shall be for the benefit of the majority. Even if It were for the beneit of one state not to conserve its natural resources and it should neglect to do so the other states in the union would not be necessarily in the same situation and their interests jeopardised. It Is easily seen that If the safeguarding of the great electric power at Niagara were left to New York Statet and the current were shipped out of the state to the middle west tho middle west ought to have some voice In the settlement of questions that might come up. This is a crude statement of the case but it must be obvious that -a state legislature is easier to be 'handled' in the giving away of vast rights than Is the national legislature which represents all the states. In the state legislature there is no means by which the citizens of other statea equally or more vitally Interested can protect themselves. Hence It Is that if this conservation question were left to the western states now dominated hand and foot in their legislatures by the Guggenheims (the very forces that are bent on acquiring quick and immediate control forever of all the natural resources of the country) the people In the rest of the United States would have no redress in the case of the public properties which belong to them and not to the people of the states In which they exist.

This does not mean that every state should not busy itself with the guarding of those natural resources which it has within its borders. Indiana has undeveloped water powers which are valuable. No doubt in the next legislature large financial interests working very obscurely very covertly will be able to Becure positive legislation under the pretext which Is always plausible that these things should be "developed." And so they should be developed no one doubts that for a minute but they should never pass from the public ownership (as many public service franchises have already passed in this state) they should be leased so that the states shall always have a means of protecting its resources and the profits used In decreasing the taxes and In lightening the public expense upon the individual. 1 So here is the conservation business plainly writ. Give us state conservation where that is the most effective but do net try to defeat real conservation by appealing to catch phrases such as the "states rights conservationists" are urging at St. Paul.

TWINKLES BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. A Style of Interview. "Did you Interview that statesman?" "Not exactly," replied the journalist. ' "But you talked with him for an hour." "Yea. But he didn't say anything. He devoted the time to getting all the facts I had In my possession." Who, Oh Who. The elephant la big and' strong, hTe donkey's step is proud. The eagle screams a glorious song. The rooster's crow is loud. But as these figures pass in view For all the world to note, A solemn question sounds anew: "Oh, who will be the goat?" Oh who, when leaders call the clans To fortune or to fame Will dine upon the old tin cans Whose contents others claim? Who will give battle or give milk To safeguard many a vote For those with hosiery of silk; Oh, who will be the goat? Somebody has to bear the weight s Of disapointment'a woe , To aid the gay and fortunate As on their way they go. And so, as various emblems bask In sunshine where they float. It seems a proper thing to ask. "Who's going to be the goat?" Hint to the Grafter. Oh. grafter, pause ere you pursue Your stealthy course, whate'er your skill If conscience does not trouble you. It's likely some grand jury will. "De victim of a get-rich-quick scheme don' often deserve sympathy," said "THIS DATE

Items Gathered In From Far and Near

The Oyster. From the Philadelphia Press. Ancient Pistol declared the world to be his oyster that he would open with a sword. -The closed season for the oyster is ended. It is about to own this portion of the world, and a knife not bo long as a sword, and yet no more pacific, will open It "I suppose," wrote Huxley, 'that when the sapid and slippery morsel which is and is gone, like a flash of gustatory summer lightning glides along the palate, few people imagine th.' they are swallowing a piece of machinery (and going machinery, too) greatly more complicated than a watch." Jonathan Swift, without a scintilla of the biological knowledge of Huxley, suggested the same thought when be wondered at the courage of the man who ate the first nviiar w. ----- . ., 1TUUU6I X1U longer now. Our one concern Is about j the bivalve .supply. Some twentv years ago the alarm was sent out that the oyster pirates were rapidly extinguishing the beds; pat a famine might be ex.oected in a few years. There is no doubt whatever that the marauders in Chesapeake bay and elsewhere did work a deal of harm; but. ven if the paragraph that is now going the rounds of the papers, to be effect that only one egg out of 50.000.000 survives to maturity, still th nnhi shellfish has managed to come regulariy to market In ample millions. Dark Days for Smunal era. From the New York Tribune. Smuggling is ceaslne to ha h lite amusement which many evadors of the customs laws havp it Formerly contraband was brought into tne country in the romantic fashion. A perilous landing waa made in Btorm or darkness and the goods were Becreted on shore before the customs officers got wind of their arrival. The modern ocean liner revolutionized the conditions of the occupation and eliminated the romance. Nowadays the smuggler faces the guardians of the law and tries to outwit them by false swearing and artful concealment. Because the contest had ceased to be one of physical resource and strategy ani Decome one of stealth and mental audacity, many who would never have dreamed of robbing the government openly and by force have been deluded into thinking that the robbery is di vested or all its hetnousness if conducted pacifically and with proper outward formality. No doubt thousands of Americans pretending to be morally respectable have stooped to defraud the customs merely because it looked like a safe and inviting way of saving a few dollars. The Camera Man in Action. From the Chicago Record-Herald. Does not the public incline to take the pictures in the daily press too much for granted? Does it appreciate the perseverence. the ingenuity, the devotion, the bold and gallant strategy so often lavished in securing them? Recent work in connection with the at tempt on Mayor Gaynor sneaks eloquent for itself. Other examples of prompt and adequate dealing with sudden emergencies are nroducible In plenty. The photographer inside the fire lines, or in the thick of a strike. or in a war of wits with the police, is capable of yielding many a nicturesnue episode. A (American News Servl.) Richmond. Va., Sept 6. One of the largest denominational gatherings ever entertained in Richmond is the twelfth biennial convention of the United Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran churcn in the South, which assembled in this city today for a week session. The attendance includes several hundred delegates and visitors from Tennessee, North Carolina, West Virginia. Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana. The presiding officer is Rev. A. G. Voigt, of Charleston, S. C. In conjunction with the synod there is also being held a meeting of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary society of which Mrs. W. F. Morehead of Salem, Va., is president .

To make it an international instead of a national exposition, and to inter est to the extent of exhibiting, every country on the globe. Since the coming fourth annual na tional corn exposition to be held in the group t seven massive exhibit halls at the Ohio State Exposition grounds has grown to such propor tions that every nook and corner in the several buildings will be filled, it has been suggested by a number of leading agriculturists and prominent government officials that the 'next show be made international, and that it be held in the Madison Square garden in New York City. No action will be taken on the proposition by the national corn association until well after the business of the coming big corn show is settled, although much pressure is being brought to bear for an early decision owing to the interest that is being taken by the United States government and the departments of agriculture of other countries. While it is estimated that the Madison Square garden as a location for the show proper would be little, if any better than the excellent exhibit halls on the Ohio State Exposition ground at Columbus, Ohio, the fact that it would be held in such a convenient location and in auch a popular place of amusement would be an inducement which It ia claimed by those in

Mexican National Centennial Now A ppropriately Observed

City of Mexico, Sept. 6. All Mexico from Sonora to Yucatan, has donned holiday attire in honor of the grand national celebration of the republic's centennial of . independence and according to the program of the celebration the whole country will continue to wear its holiday attire during the entire month. In hontr of the great national celebration practically the whole country has undergone a remarkable transformation. , Everywhere from the national capital to the smallest of the cities in the interior, the authorities took pride in having things put in shape for the occasion. The streets of which many were repaved for the event, were thoroughly cleansed and scrubbed, public and private buildings put in repair whitewashed or painted and elaborately decorated in the national colors. Katurally the federal capital surpassed all other cities of the republic by the magnificence of ts preparations and decorations and visitors who have not seen this city for some time would scarcely recognize it in its scrupulous cleanliness, brightness and splendor. Decorations are everywhere in profusion, triumphal arches span the broad avenues and picturesque streets of the ancient city and hundreds of thousands ot electric lights are strung through the principal thoroughfares, along the public squares and parks, and trellised over the facades of the public buildings and some of the 'principal churches, so as to shed brilliant light upon the festive scene at night Visitors there are from every part of the world. Every nation of the world, save three or four, base sent official representatives to convey the congratulations and best wishes of their respective governments to the Mexican nation upon this glorious anniversary of the establishment of ita national independence. .

A WINNER AT 1909 OMAHA CORN SHOW.

terested, would bring exhibits and delegations from every country, and the exposition would be the greatest world venture in the interest of the betterment of agriculture. "The National Agricultural' Expositlon" is the new name proposed for the national corn exposition, owing to the fact that the Intents and purposes of the event have so far outgrown the original purposes of the national corn association. When the first show was held in Chicago in 1907, only corn was shown. At the next two annual shows which were held in Omaha, it was found necessary to enlarge the scope by adding classification for all grains and grasses. Interest has become so great because of the extension and broadening out, that not alone all states, but the government departments of agriculture have become so directly interested and benefitted that the proposed change of name in all probability, must come within the immediate future and before the 1912 exposition is held. Already the plans for the fourth annual show which opens in Columbus, Ohio. January 30, to continue through February 11, have reached such proportions as to insure the greatest by far of any national agricultural exposition that has ever been held, and the present indications are that all exhibitors now clamoring for space cannot be accommodated. Regardless of the fact that already more than 80 states have arranged for exhibits from their respective agricultural colleges and experiment stations, with the best of their products repreof New Jersey; Col. C. A. Rock of Pittsburg, and H. J. Shanly of Vermont, arrived here a few days ago and are luxuriously quartered in the Cobian palace, on Calle Bucarelli, Like all the other representatives they are treated with princely hospitality. Horses and carriages, automobiles and a small army of servants are at their disposal at all times and almost every possible want "s anticipated. The grand national celebration will not reach its climax until September 15, the anniversary of President Dias birthday and on the two following days, which mark the beginning of the era of Mexico's national independence, but the preliminaries of the eel; ebration have already begun. Today the school children of Mexico celebrated by holding flag parades in every city of the republic. From now on to the end of the month every day will bring its features of celebration. Among the principal events in the federal capital will be the dedication of several monuments, federal department buildings and schools, excursions for the foreign delegates to points of historic interest a grand civic parade on the day before the

The fact that there will be so many national and state meetings of the greatest possible Importance to tho agriculturalist to be held at the same time and place as the national coron exposition, haa caused some of .leading men of the country to suggest Madison Square Garden for the next show, and it ia more than likely that such pressure will be brought to bear upon the officials of the national corn association that the proposition will receive most careful consideration. Agriculturists over the country, besides government officials and agricultural college and experiment station people have . been watching with an eagle eye the progress that has been made for the coming ' exhibition and interest is now at the very highest tension. Farm publications throughout the world are devoting much space to the enterprise, which haa for its motto"Betterment of Agriculture." and with this most excellent and unlimited pub licity it is bringing enthusiastic : Inquiries with each mail, seeking Information. As only educational features are considered, the big national show will be of the greatest possible advantage to the farmers and they highly appreciate the fact that it is to be kept free from any alliances which would be interested for profit alone. : - niWfnHI HfiMlHll'H" .H.'jijEW -Mil II1IIH pM president's birthday aniversaxy, tho dedication of the monument to Benito Juarez, the unveiling of a commemorative tablet to Marelos at Cludadela, the dedication of the national university, the laying of the cornerstone of the legislative palace, a great sham battle and many other Interesting features.
