"They tell us," he said, "that the coal supply, at the current rate, will be .ex hausted in 86 years that we are de stroving our timber three times as fast as It Is growing In. the forests, and at the present rate, in 80 years America will be entirely without a supply. "Another great process of destruction is the wasteful methods of agricultural enterprise by which the fertility of the soil, upon which the race depends for its sustenance is being so rapidly exhaust ed. If we wish to know the future o America if this process Is to continue we can rend that future in advance by glanctng at the fields of ancient Kgvpt, the source of the wheat supply of "the ancient world, now barren and fruitless and deserted. "America is moving In the same di rection with her virgin forests, her o;en prairies.

' "But Kthls is not all. Land and its resources are only a .part of the con- life. All wealth Is the Joint product of land and labor. lr, in America, we compare the death rate of the country districts with the death rate of the crowded centers of population, and as sume that the sanitary conditions of the country could be extended to and made effective In the crowded cities, then we should Immediately save 648 lives every 24 hodrs, and would imme diately take from the sick list each day 16.344 people. "It baffles the human mind to under take to estimate "how great the waste which permits the. multitudes of work ers to -come i stumbling on, without t.alnlnr and Without tools. "The contemplation of all this waste would not le so orrensive ii we were able to persuade ourselves that it Is in any way necessary. Jit the most pathetic thing about it all is. that it Is absolutely inexcusably needless. "Wasteful as have been the processes by which we have used the earth, no man on earth tonight Is hungry, or cold, or shelterless-, oecause me rann Is so small, or her resources so. limited or so exhausted by the wastefulness of man, "All that IS necessary is to strengthen the things that remain that are ready to perish, and the earth will be able to care for its children for' all the countless centuries that are to follow. No man Is hungry, or ragged, or shel terless beos'uae the tools! are Inefficient Their productivity Is beyond wp power to measure. The earth Is large enough. The tools ars rtrodurtive enough. "Moreover, there ' Is labor enough,' numerous enough, strong enough, skill ful enough, to use enough of the earth's resources to provide enough for all and to spare. "It is said the corruption of modern life makes the organization of the earth's -industries, tier workshops, her markets, and the public possession and direction of her natural resources for man's highest uses impossible. I shall show you tomorrow night that the very corruption of the city calls aloud, that what has been the scene of man's de generacy shall be made the instrument of his deliverance. "It has been said that the vices of society are more wasteful than are the wasteful methods of industry or the curse of idleness, or the lack of equipment, or the absence of oreaniza tion. I shall show you later that the very vices of society are born out of this lack of organization, this heed less wastefulness of man's opportuni ties, this social refusal to meet social responsibilities and to undertake v.tn-e tasks necessary that we may provide lor tne common lite or ail. "It Is said that these proposals In volve problems of Organization and eauiDment beyond the genius of man to undertake. I shall show you that no new problems are Involved, no new dlfticultles are proposed. Society has already solved the last problem, tha airiicuity is noi tnai we oo not Know how to do. It is, that under the mas- private advantages for the few, to the lasting injury or me many, society nas so far been unable to do as well as it already knows how."

Heney, the leader of the "graft" prosecution, together with excoriation of the Schmitz board of boodllng supervisors, were the features of the closing argument of At torney Henry Ach on behalf of Abe Rue at today's session of the trial of the former boss. Ach began , with a resume of tbe prosecution's evidence. He then took up a discussion of the methods of the prosecution with rising anger and fin ally entered upon a aarcastio attack on Heney during which at times he spoke In his loudest tones. "My client Is being sacrificed to the political desires and aspirations of court officera Like Julius Caesar, he was killed politically to satisfy the ambitions of others." cried Ach. "You know that Rudolph Spreckels guaranteed a tuna to uie district attor ney with the injunction, to 'go at Kuef,' ' he roared angrily. You know, he continued, "that a prosecutor of national reputation who has some feeling aaainat Ruef. was nut forward by the money of others to de stroy the existing state or tilings. "The result was that a stranger to our land, with no ties here, was import ed, with his methods, to become the Hy ing spirit, heart and brain of a prosecu tion which has resulted in so much misery and so much dire distress In the hearts of men and women; so much dis grace to little children that would to Qod I had never seen such things. "Way down In the heart of Frank Heney there perhaps exists soma feeling of human kindness perhaps!
