A CORRECTION.
In commenting on the with¬
drawal of Dr. W. F. Goldin from
the race for congress we made a
mistake in saying that a certain
candidate kicked because a late
primary was called, when it
should read:
“Number 3 reminds us of a
certain candidate some two years
ago who also kicked line a bay
steer because an early primary
was called.”

44 GOVERNORS IN CUN-
1ERENGE WITH ROOSEVELT
Ideas Destined to Mark Material Progress
in Country's Future Are Advanced
•ESURCES OF NATION
MUST BE CONSERVED
That Was the Keynote ot the Addresses of
Roosevelt and Governors-—Permanent
Organization Between States and Nation
Is Suggested.
Washington, May 13.—Two
ideas destined to mark material
nrogrees is America’s future re¬
sulted from the first of the three
days’ conference at the White
House, at which President Roose¬
velt, the governors of forty-four
states, cabinet officers, supreme
court judges, senators, represen¬
tatives and experts are partici¬
pating, in efforts to reach con¬
clusions on the best methods of
conserving the natural resources
of the United States.
The first is that a permanent
organization between the states
and the nation is necessary, and
will likely result from the pres¬
ent conference, to accomplish
the end sought. The second,
suggested by Secretary Root, is
that there is no limitation by the
constitution to the agreements
which may be made between the
states, subject to the approval of
congress. The two ideas fully
developed it is predicted would
result in the conservation of the
energies and resources of the
nation through uniform and un¬
conflicting laws, both national
and state.
The idea that the conference
should be perpetuated developed
in the form of resolutions offered
for later consideration by Gov¬
ernor Glenn, of North Carolina,
and Governor Folk, of Missouri.
There were many others, but a
preliminary move to save time
sent them to a committee for
consideration.
The day was crowded with in¬
teresting, important develop¬
ments, and fraught with history¬
making possibilities,
Forty-four governors of sover¬
eign states of the union sat on
gilded chairs in the historic east
room of the white house and
chatted from 10 to 11 o’clock this

morning. Fire hundred other
persons taxed the capacity of the
room. They were cabinet offi
cers, supreme court justices,
senators, representatives and
experts in all lines of industry.
With a llourish of trumpets the
president and vice president en¬
tered at 11 o’clock and the con¬
ference, the first of its kind in
the history of the nation, began.
The setting for the scene was
magnificent and impressive. The
assemblage faced the east wall,
which was made resplendent by
a platform done in green plush,
backed by two large framed
maps of the United States show¬
ing in colors its various resources,
in the center of which was a
device for the production of col¬
ored glass illustrations of the
speeches, with a glaring repro¬
duction of a forest fire in view.
Seats of honor directly in front
of these maps were occupied by
members of the president’s cabi¬
net and justices of the supreme
court. The president and vice
president occupied high-backed
green plush chairs on either
side of the center.
The reception of the president
was the first climax of the day.
He entered the east room at 11
o’clock as the marine band ren¬
dered the presidential honors.
The governors arose ;they clapped
their hands,they shouted. The
demonstration became tumultu¬
ous.
Then followed a hush. The
venerable Dr, Edward Everett
Hale, chaplain of the senate,
read from the scriptures the de¬
scription of the fertility of the
land promised the children of
Israel and followed it with a
supplication for guidance in the
present undertaking.
President Roosevelt began his
explanation of the reason for the
conference. His fifty-m i n u t e
speech was many times inter¬
rupted by applause, and when be
finally reached his point of praise
to the inland waterways com¬
mission and declared with char¬
acteristic vigor that should con¬
gress neglect to perpetuate the
commission “l will doit myself”
he “captured” the assemblage.
The governors stood up and
shouted, senators and congress¬
men added a laugh to their ap¬
plause, and general assent was
given the sentiment.
The president’s speech ended
the morning session, lie with
the vice president, shook hands
with each member of the assem¬
blage. The governors and dele¬
gates were photographed with
the president on the portico of
the white house. The picture
will show also William J. Bryan,
NO. 23
Andrew Carnegie, J. J. Hill and
Gustav Schwab, specially invited
participants. The president met
in the blue drawing room his
dinner guests of the night be¬
fore, including the governors and
others.
it was at the afternoon session
that the real work of the confer¬
ence began, and this session,
which opened at 2:45, lasted Ull
til 5:05 o’clock The president
finds it impossible to devote his
entire time to the conference
meetings. He will call to order
each session, and then designate
a governor to preside. This
honor fell today on Governor
Noel, of Mississippi, with the m
tiination from the president that
tomorrow he should call on Gov¬
ernor Johnson, of Minnesota.
After this announcement the
president suddenly called upon
Mr. Bryan to interrupt the pro¬
gram and address the meeting.
Mr. Bryan acknowledged the en¬
thusiasm his name aroused by
lifting his hands, and then indi¬
cated a desire to speak Friday.
It was from the utterauce of
Mr. Carnegie and those who fol¬
lowed him that the gravity of
the problems to be considered
were given weight. Two hun¬
dred years of coal supply and
half that of iron was the predic¬
tion of the famous iron master.
There were ways by which
both the coal and iron supply
might be conserved, according
to Mr. Carnegie—bv economies in
mining and in use, and the de¬
velopment of water transporta¬
tion which he said required less
of both products.
It was at the conclusion of Mr.
Carnegie’s address that the res¬
olutions began to pour in. The
two above referred to, which
were read, received such ap¬
proval that the prediction was
made of their ultimate adoption.
Dr. I, C. White, of West Vir¬
ginia, added expert knowledge
and prediction on the subject of
coal and iron, in which he pre¬
dicted the exhauston of the Pitts¬
burg coal supply in ninety-three
years, and the West Virginia
fields in practically the same
time.
John Mitchell, former head of
the United Mine Workers of
America, estimated that fully
25 per cent of the coal in the
mines already developed had
been wasted in mining, and a
much greater percentage in use.
Without such waste, which he
believed might be overcome, the
supply of coal would last 2,000
instead of 200years, as predicted.
He concluded with a plea for
more attention to mine opera¬
tives, one of whom he said is
killed and several injured with
the mining of every 190,000 tons
of coal.
