SOUNDS WARNING NOTE. Former Chief Forester Makes Public Statement.-Water Power Sites and Coal Lands. Washington, Jan. 13.-"The con servation of natural resources and the conservation of popular govern n3ent are both at stake. The one ieeds conservation no less than the otker."' This statement epitomizes the for mal annourkement made public to xight by Gifford Pinchot, who was recently remored as chief of the for est service. The former official de elares the great moral issue that now faces the country is not the loss of latiral resources,~so much as wheth er special interests or the people shall rule. The statement, in part is as f6llows: "At this time I have no comment to make on recent events. Whether in or out of the gevernment service, I propose to stay in the fight fox conservation and equal opportunity. Every movement and measure, from whatever source, that tends to ad vance conservation and promote government by men for human wel fare I shall try to help. Every move ment and measure, from whatevex source, that hinders conservation and promises government by money for profit I shall endeavor to oppose The supreme test of movements and measures is the welfare of the plain people. . I am as ready to support the Administration when it moves toward this paramount end as I am to oppose it when it moves away." Mr. Pinchot expressed his pro found regret at leaving the forest service and pays tribute to the faith fulness and high huality of service rendered by the men with whom he worked. Out of the work of the forest service, he proceeds, grew the eonservation movement. Conservation Movement. "To-day that movement expresses on< of our'deepest national convic tion," he says, "and the prineipleE f or which it stands are reecived as axiomatic. It is only the executioi of them which remains in doubt." Mr. Pincht then traced the ree ommenda.tions of -the conference or conservation at the White House in May, 1908, the subsequent creation of the national -conservation commis sioni, which he says together withb President Roosevelt's message to Congress on the subject, set. forth a comprehensive, definite scheme for the conservation of our naltural re sures-which he applauds\ and en dorses. Then. he proceeded: *"At this critical period, whei the goal was in sight, enemies of enservation in Congress not only succeeded in preventiiig an appropri' ation with whieh to pursue the work but attempted to forbid its progress by the Tawney amendment to the last sundry civil bill Thereupon the work of the national conservation commission was stopped. "The recommendations of the commision still wait for action. All wise men will agree that the situa tion is serious. The Tawney amend nient was more than a mistake-it was a deliberate betrayal of the fu-. ture. Thie dangers which confront he cons'ervation movement to-day must be met by positive action it Congress. No action will be equiv let to bad action and will have the same results. Early Action Necessary. "Unless Congress aetls the water powers will pass into 'the hands of special interests without charge and without limit of 'time. So with the phospate deposits on public lands, when the withdrawals whieh now pro. tet them are removed. So wth the enormously valuable coal deposits in Alaska, which the present law would sell for $10 per acre. -"The danger of bad legislation is io less serious. The special interests must no longer be allowed to take what they would choose out of the gret property of all the people. Thse who stand pu,blie lands steal homes from men and women who need -them. Congress can stop the pillage, or Congress can let it go on. "In the absence of proper action two great conservation plans for the public welfare may fail.- The first is th control of water powers on navi gable streams in the public interest. The second is the construction of the deeper waterways from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. "The unanimous opinion of the Mississippi valley recognizes this wa terway as a commercial necessity. It believes with reason that the cost,. whih is already officially known. will be trivial when compared with the benefits conferred. Transporta tion facilities create traffic. Fail ueto develop our- waterways. to eether with adequate terminals anti coecmitionl by 4-ail, leaves to the transportation in the Mississippi val ley.; The Remedy. Mr. Pinchot then calls upon ;every "man of good will'' to make it clear to his Representatives in Congress 'his firm intention to hold them re-, sponsible personally for safeguarding the "rights and property of the peo ple.'" In such action, says Mr. Pin P-hot, lies the remedy. "Thle first immediate danger is that the waterways will be lost; the second -that the coal lands will be lost,'" the statement concludes. "But the specific danger of pub lie loss are merely parts of the great issue between the special interests and the rest of us. That issue is whether this country shall be man aged by men for human welfare or by money for profit. "It is a tremendous moral issue, far greater than any man's personal feelings or personal fortunes. It lies betwen the people and their rep- I resentatives on one si-de and the in terests and their representatives on the other; between progress and re action: between sp(2ia. privtilege4 ard a square deal. I repeat that the suprene test is the welfare of the( plain people. It is time to apply it. ,producing a Baseball Game on Board. By reason of the electric score! board, an invention of the past cou pie of years, it is no longer needs sary to attend a baseball game to watch each play in i making. On the board is a 'diamond and an out fi.eld, and on each side is the com piete line-up of all players on both sides. Each player is shown as he goes to bat. The pitcher throws the ball and if it is not hit, the board designates a strike or ,ball. If the batter connec.ts with the ball, a fair ball or foul is recorded, then the lights that represent the different diamond and field positions show wh'-h opposing player received the ball, what he did with it, whether the players made any moves on ba ses, and whether or not the batter was safe or out. ' Some interesting illustrations in the February Popular Meehanics show just how the board is operated. From the Hub.
