arrest here for shoplifting, Mrs. Ellen

of punishment, and also because the

OUR NATURAL RESOURCES
Should be Preserved but People
Take no Thought of the Morrow.
The United States has astound
ed the world by its spectacular s
MprntyT-'dT-'eyelopTOenl. W
came into the sisterhood of na-'
tions ah evangel of liberty and a
herald of better days to the na
tions. But we are the Spend
thrift, the Waster, the Ne'er-cio-Well
of nations. i
Beginning in modern times
with incomparably rich natural
resources, we have ravaged a con
tinent of its wood and coal and
iron, and we smilingly face the
exhaustion of our bank account
in these things like a boy in the
midst of bis sowing of wild oats.
Our forests are gone. The scat
tered fragmentsleft will disappear
in,,twenty years. The pinch ot
exhausting coal fields has'begun;
and tbe best authorities are com
puting the time of the end of our
supply, trying to determine
whether it will be our children or
our grandchildren who will have
to face a future without coal.
We have vast reserves of water
power, coal, iron and lands capa
ble of reclamation and reforesta
tion, but we seem to have no ade- -quate
conception of our duties to
ward them, to ourselves, uur
country or posterity. , Our soil is
being washed away into the rivers
and by them carried to the sea
and our boasted fertility of soil is
I thereby lessened year by year 7
but tbe irreparable drain is ignor
ed. Our neglect is almost equal
to our active waste. The vast
potentialities of our waterways in
bearing commerce and in furnish
irg power have been neglected..
But a new era seems dawning..
President Roosevelt is bringing
these matters into the field of .
prsctical statesmanship. The In
land Waterways Commission has.
been constituted by bim a? a great
agency for pointing out these na
tional dangers and co-ordinating
the Governmental plans for ccn-
serving our national resources..
In constructive ? tatesmsflshipi,"
the work outlined rises to the
most exalted plane. It demands
the attention of every American.
On its success depends the tv.ture.
We must make the most of what
is left of our once great estate;
We must stop waste; we must
keep our natural resources Lorn
the grasp of monopoly, or we may
sink to a status ot commercial
and national inferiority and sub
ordination. Reader Magezin?,
Indianapolis.
