Each Puts Up aas Father of the Movement-Ex-Forester Outlines His Brant i-f Republicanisni. Kansas City, Mo., July 15.-Gifford Pinchot and Speaker Joseph G. Can-: non engaged in an extemporaneous: debate upon the subject of conserva tion before the Knife and Fork club in this city tonight, and while each gave expression to the highest per sonal regard for the other and both agreed that conservation of the na tional resources should be encouraged, they differed on the question of who was the father of conservation. Mr. Cannon, who spoke first, said that ttle late J. W. Powell, at one time, director of the government geological survey, deserved the honor, but Mr. Pinchot asserted that Theodore' Roosevelt was the father of conserva tion. Rest Was Easy. Speaker Cannon said that Colum bus broke an egg and made it stand on the end and that any man could do the same thing after Columbus had, showed him how. "And J. W. Powell was the father of Conservation!" shouted the speak er. It was Powell, he said, who ap plied to him when he was chairman of the committee on appropriations to do something for conservation. "I sent Powell to Senators Hale and Allison, and the senate. as a result of his conference with these senators, started the legislation toward which drawing all public land that could be irrigated, as well as all reservoir sites. "The house was in favor of the leg islation, but the senate fought it; but in the 1890 the civil sundry bill as passed contained a provision with drawing all the water power sites ;%nd that was the pioneer efforts to with draw from entry all public lands that I could be irrigated, but he won on the other proposition." Turns Gun on Pinehot. Turning to Mr. Pinchot, Mr. Can-1 non said: "I have the greatest per sonal regard for you, but I understand that you are now. engaged in conser- I vation work for the organization of a new party. "I tell you, sir, that a party can not stand on a single issue, although our party did stand on a single issue once in that great conflict between service and free labor." Mr. Cannon shook hands with Mr. Pinchot at the conclusion of his Sspeech and apologized because he had to leave withojpt hearing Mr. Pinchot. Mr. Cannon was not on the regular programme, but having stopped over at the hotel, where the dinner was given he was invited to attend and re sponded to an invitation to address the club. y- Pinchot Cheered. Mr. Pinchot was given an ovation when he rose to speak. The entire club stood up and cheered him for several minutes.I "Theodore Roosevelt was the fath-t er of conservation in this country," he t said. "The natural conservation as-C sociation is continuing the work he;I started. The last session of congress did great work and our association was largely responsible for it. The I withdrawal bill as it passed was due I largelyv to the efforts of the associa-t tion. The fund1.mental idea of con-1 servation is to make of this countryt a better home for the race and toi make the race a better one in that home. The nation should think of its - marvelous riches. Conservation does;< not stop deve'opment, but to so course nature provides that the people who: t come after us also mlay enjoy them. I New School Arising. "I believe a new school of polities is coming up in the United States.:i This new school will decide whether< the country shall be governed by' money for profit, or by men for hu man welfare. "I made a speech in St. Paul recent ly and in connection with that speech somebody mentioned the possibility of: the organization of a new party. Mr.' Cannon's reference to me in that con-< nection doubtless is due to his having read some headlines at that time. T am a Republican and I do not believe. in the necessity for a third party at this time. "I am not a Cannon Republican or. an Aldrich Republican, but I am a Dolliver-Cummins- Beveridge- LaFol lette-Murdock-Norris-Stubbs Republi can and I like to be counted among' that kind of cattle." Southern Industrial Institute. The writer esteems himself happy. in having heard the "cotton mills" ad dress of the Rev. D. E. Camak at the Presbyterian church Sunday evening, 10th inst. Rev. Camak represents the Southern Industrial Institute located in Charlotte, N. C. "It is only six years old, but owns a property worth $100.000 on~ which the indebtedness has been reduced to $15.000. . . . The following addi tional points are taken from "Facts: About the S. I. I." t is the most unique edncational institution in America. 'zs studemts work with their hands 'o iefra school expenses. Business methods have been applied in the matter of student-labor which enables the institution to conduct re munerative enterprises. It has already accomplished the seemingly impossible in matters of in dustrial betterment. It is a powerful friend to both labor and capital-as both gladly testify. It is specially adapted to the needs of ambitious grown illiterates. It teaches practical cooking, sew ing, housekeeping, sanitation, horti culture, dairying, agriculture, etc. It contemplates thorough courses in the textile branches; also courses in carpentry and other trades. It trains Christian welfa-e work ers with special reference to cotton mill communities, etc. There exist no greater humani tarian institution to meet the wants of present conditions in society and the industrial life of the South. Hospitals, infirmaries, etc., relieving immediate sufferings of humanity are indispensi ble from a Christian standpoint. But this institution embraces the far reaching purpose and practical effect of up-lifting the army of dependent workers from otherwise degrading conditions of ignorance and subser viency, to the dignity of manhood and womanhood in service and usefulness to society; and ultimately to the re 3oval of the miseries of pauperism. By this the writer does not mean to ;ay that greater advances may not be n store for the uplift of poor work ,rs in the near future, but that this nove is of greatest value at the pres mnt time for existing conditions, and t1so will prove a mighty factor in eading to any other betterment of so %iety yet to be. The speaker vividly portrayed :hrough living examples how much of vorth and nobility of soul exist in the nost ignorant, and in the eyes of so :iety degraded, boys and girls among :he toiling poor. ndA to what heights f education their ambition has made -hem save where the opportunity first >ffered opened to them a vision. Priends, how can any close their eyes, )r their purses, to such opportunities ts are offered by the Southern Indus :rial Institute! One may prefer to spend his money 1earer home-but there is no better vay of bringing it nearer home than >y enlarging the sphere of usefulness )f the first neighboring experiment. lod be praised for the fact of -success hat has taken this enterprise beyond he borders of experiment! But help t upward to shine as a beacon light o neighboring States-yea to the en ire Southland, to guide .the wander ng footsteps of reform and of hu uanitarianism to this most propiti ious and fruitful enterprise that it nay be established within the borders >f every Southern State. A beautiful feature presented by the peaker is that the presidents of cot on mills and other officers have con ributed liberally to the Southern In !ustrial Institute as a benefit to the nill-workers; and they help in other~ vays-in hours of lab or, etc., to afford tvery opdortunity possible to the as >irants for an education, on whatever ines they prefer. What a contrast to hat policy pursued by the Northern nanufacturers to inaugurate indus rial schools (at the public expense) ni connection with the public school .ystem-but--"O temupora. O mores!"' -that each child should be taught: mnly one special feature in the manu actniring process. Do you see? And hus become a part of the machine, a; abor slave, dependent for life on that me fractional part of machinery. ig iorant of everything else cut off from tll choice in case of necessity, tied loWvn under the will of a master as to rages, hours of toil, and Conditions of mnvironment, perhaps the most un sanitary in the world. Could any one magine in these pupils such a vision ts has come to the workers in the. in-; lustrial school at Charlotte? An in ;piration which has even led to gra luation in the highest colleges of the south, such as Wofford-and that, too, n1 instances of ignorance of the alpha-. >et when first taken in hand while far ,.dvanced in youth. The cotton mills have contributed! argely to the institute, an~d are will .ng to do more. But it is a part of ~visdom to enlist a public interest in much an enterprise-not of that eff er ;escent sort of getting people pleased svit.h what is being done, but the more mbstantial-help in the doing. 'We prefer not to present it as a luty to one's own State prospective ty, but as an immediate privilege of .nyestment; and investment that will pay, not in dollars now, but in wealth ~or all time. Take for example the tillionaire merchant-prince. Geo. Seney, he conceived the idea of makt ng his great business distribute pro Sts to the small businesses of the South. It was a success. MIr. Seney, however became bank rupt through the machinations of greed hostile to his system. When all he posessned went to meet his cbliga Io n!S he 1ii1: "T ha G ihere is one treasure left that can not be lost. the $1.000,('t endowment to Emory college," (Ga.) There is a reality in the laying up of "treasure in heaven," but the i stronger emphasis should be on con- 1 tributing to God's treasure-house in i humanity. Such indeed is the South ern Industrial Institute, in which one may invest with surety of wealth nev- i er to be lost. We Close with a few extracts from "Facts About the S. I. I.": Through its industrial features it reaches the latent mental powers of the race that have lain dormant for generations, but are never-the-less the same sturdy Anglo-Saxon characteris tics of yore. It meets a great human need and, therefore, is destined to speedy devel-:; opment. It is sure to become one of the great institutions of the United States. It is under the auspices of the in dustrial department of the interna- d tioi.al committee of the Young Men's' Christian association. C Its problem has always been, not how to get students. but how to ac commodate those begging for admis sion. It was forced, for lack of room and equipment, to turn away half the stu dents who applied for the term of 1909-1910. It contemplates an ultimate capacity of a thousand. It draws its pupils from the indus- d trial South. f< Plans for the additional buildings tl have been drawn and the money for that is ready. But, say the donors, not a brick must be laid until the re maining debt of $15,000 (on the $100, 000 property) shall be paid. The cot- d ton mills assume $6,000, or even $8, 000 of it if the public will make up the 1 balance. This is the mission of Rev. Mr. Camak. E. T. R Fripp. FOR LARGER SUPREME COURT. d d Columbia, July 16.-South Carolina's supreme court, whose decisions are 1 profoundly respected from one end of the country to the other, may have an additional justice when the legislature meets next winter. Before this cand happen, however, the people must vote in the primaries and in the generalI election for this change in accordance with the joint resolution, passed at the last meeting of the general assembly, proposing to amend a section of the onstitution. In the meantime there are two can :idates in the field-so it is generallyn nderstood throughout the State-t Judge R. Withers Memminger, of Charleston, and the Hon. J. P. Carey, f Pickens. The joint resolution reads as fol ows:n "Be it Resolved by the General As- a sembly of the State of South Carotina, j( .hL at the followiiig amenidAent he mbmitted to the qualified einaor-; at - he next general election for represen atives, and if a majority of the elec ors qualified to vote for members of he general assembly, voting thereon,: N shall be in favor of such amendment and a majority of each branch of the general assembly, after such election: and before another, ratify said amend ment by yeas and nays, that Section 2 of Article 5 relating to associated justices be amended by striking out:s he word 'three.' in line two, and in serting in lieu thereof the word 'four, ' and striking out the word 'eight,' in line six, and inserting the word 'ten,' so that when amended the same shall read as follows: "Section 2. The supreme court shall d onsist of a chief justice and four as sociate justices, any three of whom shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The chief ustice shall preside, and, in his ab . .In sence, the senior associate justice. "They shall be elected for the term of ten years and shall continue in of fie until their successors shall be elected and qualified, and shall be classified that one of them shall go ot of office every two years." The present membership of the su-e preme court in this State is: ~ief Jnstice Ira B. Jones, Lancas t;er; associate justices: Eugene B. Gary. Abbeville: C. A. Woods, Marion, and D. E. Hlydvick.

The argument advanced in favor of~ Increasing the number of supreme court justices is to eliminate the mat- I ter of a divided court.
