WHOSE ITS FATHER?1

Kansas City, Special.?Gifford Pin- ^
chot and Speaker Jos. G. Cannon en- c
gaged in an extemporaneous debate
upon the subject of conservation be- j
fore the Kuife and Fork Club in this ^
city Friday night, and while each
man gave expression to the highest
personal regard for the other and
both agreed that conservation of the
nation's natural resources should be c
encouraged, they differed on the
whole as to who was the father of
oouservation. *
Mr. Cannon said that J. W. t
Powell, at one time directly of the t
government geological survey, deserv- s
ed the honor, but Mr. Pinchot assert
ed that Theodore Koosevelt was the t
father of conservation. t
Turning to Mr. Pinchot, Mr. Can- v
non said:
"I have the greatest personal regard
for you, but I understand that
you are now engaged in conservation 1
work for the organization of a new t
party. a
''T tell you, sir, that a party cannot >
stand on a single issue, although our t
party did stand on a single issue once 1
in that great conflict between servile f
and free labor." $
Shaking of his record as a public 1
official, Mr. Cannon said: B
"I admit I have made mistakes. 1
r\_??? n?i t i i ?I
uic? uvni, x nave own mistaken a
score of times in the last 35 years.
There are other fellows in Congress *
who have been wrong just as often, ?
but they are not honest enough to r
admit it." ^
"Theodore Roosevelt was ttie fath- c
er of conservation in this country," s
Mr. Pinchot said, "the national con- (
servation association is continuing the 0
work lve started. The last session of
Congress did great work ami our association
was largely responsible for
it. The withdrawal bill as it passed c
was due largely to the efforts ef the ^
association. s
"We now intend that the people s
must be compensated for what the '
private interests get. The old prac- a
tice of giving perpetual grants to pri- *

the future is now safe against the ^
oppression of monopoly.
