Dr. Stilwell C. Burns who is the guest of assistant county physician P. W. Lynch, Is the chief Burgeon of the Je:co-Chirugical hos pital in Philadelphia. He was the second American surgeon to use the new anaesthesia which has been wide ly discussed In he magazines since Dr. Jrnnescq came to this country from Europe to demonstrate Its uses. Stovaine is a spinal anaesthesia whldh eliminates the uses of ether or other general anaesthetics. By inject ing the stovaine into the spine xf the .person upon whom the operation is to be performed, it is possible to oper ate with the patient entirely conscious. The introduction of this new aid to modern surgery -was the occasion for much comment in tine press, some of which was in the lighter vein. Car toons appeared, in which, the patient was haviing a leg or an arm ampu tated while he read the morning paper or an -operaltion for appendicitis done with tiie patient both a principal and an Innocent bystander.

Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y. PROPERLY AMPLE GONSERVATJON (Continued From attempt to take control of our water Trays as fast as thejr are improved and completed. We must see to it that adequate terminals are provided in ev ery city and town on every improved waterway, terminals open under rea- sonable conditions to the use of every citizen, and rigidly protected against monopoly, and we must compel the railways to cooperate with the water ways continuously, effectively, and un der reasonable conditions. "Adequate terminals properly con troled and open through lines by rail and boat are two absolutely essential conditions to the usefulness of inland waterway development. The National Forests. "The people of the United States be lieve in the complete and rounded de velopment of inland waterways, for all the useful purposes they can be made to serve. They believe also in forest protection and forest extension. The fight ior our national forests in thr west has been won. If any nroor were needed that forest protection is a na tional duty, the recent destruction of forests in the west by fire would sup ply it. Even with the aid of the army added to that of the forest service the loss nas been severe. Without either it would have been vastly greater. "But the forest service does more than protect the national forests against fire. It makes them practically and increasingly useful as well. Dur ing the last year for which I have the figures the national forests were used by 22,000 cattlemen with their herds, 5000 sheepmen -with their flocks, 5000 timbermen with their crews, and 45,000 miners. More than 5000 persons used them for other special industries. Nearly 34,000 settlers had the free use of wood. Moreover, the national for ests protect the water supply of a thousand cities and towns, about S00 irrigation projects, and more than 300 power projects, not counting the use of water for these and other purposes by individual settlers. I think that hereafter we may safely disregard any statement that the national forests are withdrawn from settlement and use. A Country Life Institute. "The investigations of the Country Life commission have led the farmers of the country to realize that they have not been getting their fair share of progress and all that it brings. The means for better farming we have stud ied with care, but to better living on tlje farm and to better business on the farm, the farmers themselves have giv en scant attention. One of the most urgent needs of our civilization is that the farmers themselves should under take to gel for themselves a better knowledge along these lines, and then I to apply it. Human Efficiency,. "As a people we have not yet learned to economize. One of the virtues we Americans most need is thrift. It is a I mere truism to say that luxury and ex- j travagance are not good for a nation, i So far as they affect character, the ",uss Luoy tause may ue ueyona compu- i tation. But in the material sense there I is a joss &reater than is caused by both f extravagance and luxury put together. J r ,. th ! i,cip ,n q ! sive los to our people from Dremature death and avoidable diseases. Wholly ; apart from the grief, the suffering, and I the wretchedness which they cause, the J material loss each year hag been calcu- lated at nearly twice what it costs to run tne ieaerai government, in addi tion to the state and city, health of ficers and organizations, there is ur- gently needed a federal bureau of health, to act, so far as the national government properly may to relieve our people from this dreadful burden. National Conservation Commission. "One of the most important meetings in our recent history was that of the governors in tne wnite 1S08, to consider the conserv tion. But the advice of the governors ! the meeting was followed by the ap- i pointment of a national conservation ! commission. The meeting of the gov- J ernors directed the attention of the : country to the conservation as nothing j servatlon is the road to national effl else could have done, while the work j ciencj', and It stands for ample and wise of the commission gave the movemen-development. definiteness and supplied it with a practical program. But at the moment when the commission -was ready to be gin the campaign for putting Its pro- gram into effect an amendment to the ! sundry civil service bill was introduced j by a congressman from Minnesota with ! the purpose of putting a stop to the work so admirably begun. Congress passed the amendment- Its object was to put an end to the "work of a number of commissions, which had been ap pointed by the president, and whose contribution to the public welfare had been simply incalculable. The National Conservation associa- tion took up the work which other- I wise would not have been done, and It exercised a most useful influence in preventing oaa legislation, in securing the introduction of better conservation measures at the past session of con gress, and in promoting the passage of wise laws. It deserves the confi dence and support of every citizen in terested in the wise development and preservation of our natural resources, j and in preventing them from passing Into the hands of uncontroled monop olies. Pan-American Conservation. "When the government of the United States awoke to the idea of conserva tion and saw that it was good, it lost no time in communicating the advan tages of the new point of view to its Immediate neighbors among the na tions. A North American conservation conference was held in Washington and the cooperation of Canada and Mexico in the great problem of develop- i Ing the resources of the continent for the benefit of its people was asked and promised. The nations upon our north- Page One em and southern boundaries wisely re alized that their opportunity to con serve the natural resources was bet ter than ours, because with them de struction and monopolization had not , gone so far as they had with us. So it is with the republics of Central and South America. Obviously they are on the verge of a period of great mate- j rial, progress. The development of their natural resources their forests, their mines, their water, and their soils will create enormous wealth. For the Future. "It is clear that unless the govern ments of our southern neighbors take steps in the near future by wise leg islation to control the development and use of their natural resources, they will probably fall into the hands of con cessionares and 'promoters, whose sin gle purpose, without regard to the permanent welfare of the land in which they work, will be to mak,e the most possible money in the shortest possi ble time. There will be shameful waste, destructive loss, and short-sighted dis regard of the future, as we have learn ed by bitter experience here at home. "Unless the governments of all the American republics, Including our own, enact in time such laws as will both protect their natural wealth and pro mote their legitimate and resonable de velopment, future generations will owe their misfortunes to us of today. State and Federal Control. "But while we of the United States are anxious, as I believe we are able, to be of asistance to others, there are problems of our own which -we must not overlook. One of the most Im- portant conservation questions of the moment relates to the control of water power monopoly in the public interest. There is apparent to the judicious ob server a distinct tendency on the part of our opponents to cloud the issue by raising the question of state as against federal jurisdiction. "We are ready to meet that Issue if it is forced upon us. But there is no hope for the plain peo ple in such conflicts of jurisdictions. The essential question is not one of hair-splitting legal technicalities. It is simply this: Who can best regulate the special interests for the public good? Most of the predatory corporations are interstate or have interstate affiliations. Therefore they are largely out of reach ' of effective state control and fall of ne cessity within the federal jurisdiction. The most effective weapon against these great corporations, most of which are financed and owned on the Atla'ntic coast, will be federal laws and the fed eral executive. That is why I so strongly oppose the demand to turn these matters oyer to the states. The Conservation Flfjlit. "One of the difficulties in putting into practice the conservation idea is that the vfield to which it applies is constantly growing in the public mind. It has been no slight task to bring be- fore 1,000,000,000 people of great concep- ! tion like that of conservation, and con- vince them that it is right. This much we e accompnsnea. ut there re- mains much to be cleared up, and many misunderstandings to be removed. These misunderstandings are due in nnrt .t lt tn ;n- ;o-,, -., tion by the men to whos intrt it i that conservation should not prosper, For example, we find it constantly said by men who should know better, that temporary withdrawals, such as the withdrawals of coal lands, will nprnw nently check development. Yet the fact is that these withdrawals have no pur pose except to prevent the coal vlands i,uui ija.as.iiis j"uu private ownersniD i until congress can pass laws to open them to development under conditions just alike to the public and to the men wo will do the developing. j "The Idea, widely circulated of late, (that conservation means locking up the house in May, natural resources for the exclusive use fal occasions only. OAvin to the dam ervation ques- j of later genrations, is wholly mistaken. a?e whieh is done the flags iby the strong Our purpose is to make full rp nf resources, but to consider our sons and daughters as well as ourselves; just as a farmer uses his farm in ways to ways to ' preser'e its future usefulnp5; rrf-n Prosrress of ConservaTlon. "But In spite of these difficulties, most of which are doubtless Inevitable in any movement of this kind, conser vation has made marvelous progress. I have been astounded and delighted "on my return from abroad at the progress . ! x a,s y.y. We nave a right to congratulate ourselves on this marvelous progress; but there is no reason for believing that the fight is won. In the beginning the special in terests, who are our chief opponents in the conservation fight, paid little heed to the movement because they neither mortA Tthiiv t -. --- unaerstood it, nor saw that if it won they must lose. But with the progress uj. i-vi.ion in tne minds of our people, the fight is getting sharper. The nearer we approach to victorv the hit j terer the opposition that we must meet, -ua me greater the need for caution and watchfulness. Open opposition we can overcome,- but I warn you especial ly against the men who come to con gresses such as this, ostensibly as dls. interested citizens, butactually as the paid agents of the special interests. National Duty. "It is our duty and our desire to make this land of ours a better home for the race, but our duty does not stop there. We must also work for a better nation to live in this better land. The devel opment and conservation of our nation al character and -our free institutions must go hand in hand with the develop ment and conservation of our natural resources. "What this country needs is what every free country must set before it as the great goal toward which It works an equal opportunity for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for every one of its citizens. "To achieve this end we must nut a ' stop to the improper political dominion, no less than to the improper economic dominion, of the great special interests. i This country, its natural resources, its i natural advantages, its opportunities, i and its institutions, belong to all its cit izens. They cannot be enjoyed fully and freely under any government In which the special interests as such have a voice. The supreme political task of our day, the indispensable condition of national efficiency and national wel fare, is to drive the special interests out of our public life." IVEAJST CALLS THE COLONEL A IIAE Former President Has Ex citing Experience at Fargo, 3ST. D. Fargo, N. D., Sept. 6. A man wjio fought his way to ex-president Roose- i velt and called him a liar, gave a bad scare yesterday to the crowd at Island Park, in this city. Col. Roosevelt helped to eject him from the platform. The colonel had just finished his Labor day address. As he spoke the last sentence of his speech, the crowd cheered and then there was a rush for the speakers' stand by thousands, who sought to get near enough to see Col. Roosevelt at short range and shake his hand. Those on the platform, pressed around the stand, and in a moment it was closed In by a surging and strug j gllng mas of men and women. Some j of the bolder persons in the crowd ( mounted the steps that led to the velt's side.

Waving one arm, the man shouted: "I want to know who is paying the expenses of this trip of yoiirs about the country." The question angered Mr. Roosevelt, and his face showed it. He advanced a step toward his interrogator and shot back his .answer. "I consider that to be an impertinent question," he said. "However,. I have no objection to telling you." He added that the expenses of the party were b.elng paid by the magazine of which he is one of the editors. "You lie," the man shouted so loudly j that hundreds of persons in the crowd could hear him.

He explained later that he did not know who the man -was or what his intentions were and that he had taken hold of his "arm as a measure of self protection. His vigorous action did not defer the man from finishing what he had to say. He shouted out: "Your expenses are being paid by the people of the United States." Although Mr. Roosevelt was the first to act, others ran quickly to assist him and even before the man had finished his remarks two men seized him. The colonel did not release his grip until the stranger was moving rapidly from the stand. He was ejected from the platform and swallowed up in the ex cited crowd. The man was arrested later and charged with disorderlyconduct. He said his name was John Martin, his occupation a painter, and his residence Fargo.

So favorable were the comment, of the citi zens on the (presence of t'he big flag in the plaza that an informal discussion of the matter was eld at the city hall Tifesday morning by mayor Kelly and aldermen McGhee and Blum enthal" while they "were waiting for the council session to begin.

Alderman Percy fcGee stated that in purchasing fla-"3 for the city hall, both the Texas and American flags, he found that two of these flags would lasc through an entire -ear even when flying every day. He estimated the cost of the 12 feet flag which it required in San Ja cinto plaza at $S each, or a total of $o a year to keep a flag fljing in the plaza at all times. Alderman W. S.

"As the San Jacinto plaza is centrally located and can be seen from both the Southwestern and Southern Pacific trains that .pass through E'l Paso," he said, "it is the ideal place for displaying El Paso's Eatriotism.

In addressing the convention on the snbject of water power, Herbert Knox Smith, United States commissioner of corporations, declared that the close re lations of water power companies throughout the country, and the fact the power, by means of electric trans mission, can be distributed over a wide area from one state to another makes conservation of this great force a proper duty of the federal govern ment. He stated it as his personal be lief that the national government has full constitutional and statutory auth ority to assume the task. "It is obvious that a local monopoly of power covering simply one market area is as complete in its effects on the inhabitants of that area as if It covered the entire country. Conditions in separate sections are therefore im portant. "In California, for example, four principal hydro-electric companies dominate the water power Industry.

Leaving Albuquerque 15 days ago Taylor and his family, household goods and chattels, had driven the 300 miles overland to El Paso on the first leg ot their long journey to Beeville, which Is near San Antonio on the SA. & A.
