St. Paul, Sept. 5 With every pros pect for a warm fight between states rights delegates and those favoring National control, the second National Conservation congress opened here to day.

"Conservation as an economic and political term has come to mean the preservation of our natural resources for economical use, so as to secure the greatest good to the greatest num ber. In the development of this coun try. In the hardships of the pioneer. In the. energy of the settler, in the anxiety of the Investor for quick re turns, there was very little time, op portunity, or desire to prevent waste of those resources supplied by nature which could not be quickly transmut ed Into money; while the investment of capital was so great a desideratum that the people as a community exer cised little or no rare to prevent the transfer of absolute ownership or many of the valuable natural resourc es to private Individuals, without re taining some kind of control of their use. The Impulse of the whole new community was to encourage the com lug of population, the Increase of Het tlcmetit, and the opening up of busi- Wl.

THE WEATHER New Orluans, La. Sept. 5 Un settled tonight and Tuesday, ness; and he who demurred In the slightest degree to any step which promised additional development of the Idle resources at hand was regard ed as a traitor to his neighbors nd an obstructor to public progress. Hut now that the communities have be como old, now that the flush of en thusiastic expansion lias died away, now that the wouldbe pioneers have come to realize that all the richest lands In the country have been taken up, we have iie,rcclve, the necessity for a change of policy in the disposi tion of our national resources so us to prevent the continuance of tho waste which has characterized our phenomenal growth In the past. To day we desire to restrict and retain under public control the acquisition and use by the capitalist of our natur al resources. The danger to the state und to the people ut large from the waste and dissipation of our national wealth ts not one which quickly Impresses It self on the people of the older com munities, because its most obvious in stances do not occur In their neigh borhood, while In the uwer part of, the country the sympathy with expan sion and development, is so strong that, the danger Is scoffed at or Ig nored. Among scientific men and thu thoughtful observers, nowever, the danger has always been present; hut it needed some one to bring home the crying need for a remedy for this evil so as to Impress Itself on the public mind and lead to the rormutiou of public opinion and action by tho rep resentatives of the people. Theodore Roosevelt took up this task in the last two years of his second adminis tration, and well did lie perform It. "As president or the l'nlte.1 Stales I have, as It were. Inherited this policy and I rejoice In my heritage. I p;lz my high opportunity to do all that an xecutive can do to help a great peo ple realize a great national ambition. For conservation Is national. It af fects every man f us, every woman, every child. What I can do In the cause I shall do, not as president of a party, but as president of the whole leople. Conservation Is not a ques tion that affects the vital welfare of all of us of our children and our children's children. I urge that no good can come from meetings of tliU sort unless we ascribe to those who take part In them, and who are appar ently striving worthily In the, cause, all proper motives, and unless 'we Ju dicially consider every measure or method prepared with a view to Its effectiveness in the achieving oT our 'ominon purpose, and wholly without regard to who proposes it or who will claim the credit ror Its adoption.
