It means caring for, making the most of, preventing the
wastevoi. our natural resources. The wisdom of conserv-
ing our natural resources will not be questioned by the
most lthoughtlcss. All will agree that, wherever possible,
our soil fertility sllould be maintained; that provision
should be made to have another tree grow where a tree
has been cut down; that where we remove oysters from
an arell=ln our bays or rivers, provision should be made to
have others take their place, and so cn through the whole
round'of`our natural resources.
But we make a serious mistake when we limit our
natural resources to the things of the soil. the earth, the
air, the sea. Our most valuable natural resources are our
men and women, our boys and girls. And yet on the con-
servation of these our Royal Commissions and our expert
conservationists have little-,if allyllling,to say. We are tall-
ing inlinite care of our foxes, have redeemed them from
the wild and have engaged veterinaries, pathologists,
bacieriologists &c., &c., to teach us how to rear and feed
them; we have experts to teach its how to care for our
liorsos. oilr coivs, our swine. our liens, and to get the most
usefulness and profit out of them; but ol' the children,
whose pnrcnls perhaps know less about training and feed-
ing them for llsefillliess than the fox rancher knows about
rearing foxes. less than the herd knows about caving for
cattle and swine. we hear scarcely a word.
Alld yet, dowll among those whose parclits know so
little, or who have not the means to train or even to pro-
perly feed llieir children, there may be seine “Village
llampdens." “some mute illglorious i\liltolls,” some par-
llmentarinlis, some leaders of men. scme inventors, who

 world thorn are many records; ol' those who have lived
 and whom we failed lo discover before tlicy were carried
away into thc lnaclslroill ol' ltselcssness mill lvorso there

objection are that the sum mentioned is inadequate to ef-

that conditions affecting the operation of ships under the

lownership, and that the scheme would mean an annual
loss. There is also advanced the standard objection that
government methods of operation are not adapted to the
requirements of a keenly competitive business. Commerci-

is a strong element in Congress opposed to it on political
as well as economical grounds. The chances of tile bill be-

of the newsboys shrieking "Special War Extra" at tile

profitable business for the publishers, as a big run on
woollells would be for the manufacturers, or on foodstuffs
for the groccrs. Oh yes, the newspapers mllst be just
