PROGRAM FOR RESOURCE SAVERS Chamberlain Has Cleared h Question for All Economic Patriots President and Fresident-EIect Praise the Governor's Plan. lty, Is to be endowed with all necessary conservation (unctions and la to operate under an act of congress, ''authorising the members to work in connection with the departments of the government now ha-ving jurisdiction over public lands, forests, navigation, reclamation and kindred subjects, and making an appro- friation for the purchase of deforested ands in the Appalachian range and elsewhere, and is to be given the power to exercise the right of eminent domain in such cases as might be necessary, and to make rules for the distribution of the waters of all streams tributary to navigable waterways and particularly those which are interstate T! It was noticeable that he was given close attention by both Roosevelt and Taft, as well as by governors, diplo mats, members of both houses of con gress and the crowd that packed the ineaire. Sitting at the newspaper table, cor- spondents at first - listened perfunc torily. When Chamberlain reached that his his address conveytnw "sat up ana .. 4 ' Roosevelt to Chamberlain at 4' the conclusion of the letter's ad- w dress at the Belasco theatre to the conservation conference: "That was fine. Chamberlain, that was fine." And Taft to the audience: ' "1 want to acknowledge the .Obligation under which we all ; rest toward Governor Chamber-. e Iain for his very able address ' and original suggestion relative e to the solution of the conserva- 4) tlon problem." Committee of one to escort President Roosevelt to the plat- form, Governor Chamberlain; committee of one to escort Presl- dent-elect Taft lo the platform, - 4 Governor Johnson of Minnesota. By John E. Lathrop. Washington, Dec. 9. Speaking from the same platform with President Roosevelt and President-elect Taft, Governor Chamberlain did two things: lie creditably represented Oregon and yftm compliments for demonstrated ability. He cast into the discussion of the conservation problem a new pro posal which it is certain will cause widespread debates. Already there are signs of division, the state rights ex tremists opposing, many others giving assent. , Chamberlain's conservation plan in cludes the following propositions: All agree that conservation of natural resources is necessary to the nation's wol f tire There' will probably arise differences as to the authority properly to be in trusted with conservation tasks. Chamberlain's plan is based on the assumption of federal control. as dis tinguished from state control; though the national plan is to be worked out in hurmonv with local conservation pro grams adopted by states, and all vested rights are to he respected. An Interstate conservation commis sion, created as a federal instrumental- portion of newer proposals, every one took notice." It is understood that his suggestions have been trlven most careful thought by high federal officials. It Is believed the Oregon governor has developed a line of thought which tends in the di rection of an inevitable drift of future effort. Chamberlain brought, several rounds of applause, first, when he paid a com pliment to Gifford Plnchot, and again when advocating a federal conservation commission. Correlating all essentials, he said: - "I don't know what my political brethren will think of a Democrat coun seling such a plan; but nevertheless I believe it wise. .. Taft engaged in pleasantries with Chamberlain in closing the meeting. He paid a genuine tribute to "the value and ability of Governor Chamberlain's discussion today." When Taft joined Roosevelt In advo cating bonds for the conservation move ment when necessary, the applause was liberal. BAD MAN GOES TO GALLOWS T03I0RR0W (Special Dltpstch to Tti Journal.) Chattanooga, Tenn.. Deo. 9. Tomor row Is the date fixed for the execution in the Chattanooga .Jail of David D. Edwards, the man who caused a sen sation at his trial last summer by de claring that he had killed so many men in his time that he could not remember the exact number. The crime for which Kdwards Is to pay the death penalty was the murder of J. W. Davis, a foreman in the employ of William J. Oliver, the railroad con tractor. The crime was committed last March and was of a most brutal charac ter. Prior to the killing of Davis a number of men had fallen victims to Edwards' ready gun. A number of them were negroes and in most cases he escaped without punishment. It is believed that his victims numbered at least 16 men. Mrs. J. W. Davis, the widow of his last victim, has asked permission to spring the death trap when Edwards Is exe cuted. The request, of" course, was re fused, but it is said that relatives of the murdered man will be here from a dozen states to fitness the execution. FOBKSTKY MUX. OP LAKE STATES MEET Tuberculosis Killed Last Year .090 So Secretary Cortdybu Told the International Tuberculosis Congress The International Tuberculosis' con gress, recently held in Washington, has given a world of facts concerning the reajest scourge ever lnructea upon me race; and li 11 nas noi pomiea oui u positive cure it has at least shown now the disease can be prevented, with the urnmiu also that there will soon be forthcoming a serum or anti-toxin which will remove the disease from the face of .the earth. When we stop to consider that a mil lion lives will be saved annually to the world by the prevention and cure of this disease, we can form some idea of the Importance and magnitude of the subject considered by this congress, and of its tremendous Importance to mankind. All honor to the men who are engaged in this work. The world will owe them, as well as the noble profession to which they belong, an eternal debt of grati tude. We now know that there are millions of persons living and moving about In everyday life, who are suffering from Tuberculosis in one form or another, and it is' to this multitude attention must be given to prevent a future devel opment of the disease. It is estimated that 160,000 persons die annually in the United States from Consumption, or Tuberculosis, and from any way we look at it this Is a dreadful figure to consider. If t'hls tremendous loss to the coun try occurred annually by the destruction of the population of some splendid city of 160,000 from some preventable cause, all the strength and power of the gov ernment would be stretched forth to put a stop to the calamity; yet quietly and insidiously Tuberculosis Is yearly ef fecting this fearful loss of life and the government scarcely recognlxea the fact. In every city and considerable village in the United States there should be provided, under authority of law, an or ganisation for the prevention and cure of Tuberculosis under the supervision of medical men. These organizations should be provided with accommodations for the treatment of incipient and ad vanced cases of the disease, and should also have authority to safeguard those who are predisposed by enforcing hy gienic conditions. The advanced or incurables should be separated from the incipient or curable cases, as they are the centers of Infec tion and the greatest danger to the pub lic. Good food, rest, fresh air and hygi enic living, together with moderate doses of Duffy's Pua Malt Whiskey are the essentials In the prevention and cure of Tuberculosis. No treatment 'or measures for the cure of this disease can be successful as one reinforced by a refined and wholesome stimulant like this medicinal whiskey. In safeguarding those wh'o are predis posed to the disease and for the public generally the most rigid measures should be adopted. Factories, work shops and stores of all - kinds where help is employed and people congregate, should be well ventilated and kept as much as possible -clear of dust and un necessary damDness. The laws, too. for the prevention of spitting on floors and the public streets should be 'strictly en- Tnreei. aa this u tn iruuil (ouro or danger. .- Of great Importance Is- the care that tim.lJ W I AMJ, Jxln. (hAl school years. Defective eyesight, bad teeth, adenoids and enlarged tonsils lead to weakened constitutions, if neglected. -A few moments' each day Or each week, in our schools devoted tor instruo tton in bygjenio measures would be of inestimable value in the prevention of Tuberculosis and other serious ailmenta. (Special Plapatch to The Journal.) Madison, Wis., Dec. 9. Definite plans looking to the preservation of the for--r-sts of this section of the country will be considered and acted upon at the two days' meeting begun here-today by the Lake States' Forestry association.
