The time Is past when we cun skim the cream and Ignore In this country n system for making the best use of everything we have Of course there will al way» bo som«- waste, as there Is waste In every ef fort of human life. There is waste of time: there Is waste of things pro duced, Evon the housewife cannot save everything, however Industrious she may be and however well schooled she may have b<x-n In domes tic economy. While wo may have seemed wasteful, we have been pro gressive. but we have got to be frugal and economical, and wu have got to use common sense In the handling of the resources we have. That's ail there I m In conservation Bo far as I am concerned, and so (ar us my de partment Is concerm-d, I am Intense- ly interested in the development ot the public domain, and in those mat ters which are committed by con gress to tho department of the inter ior. I am intensely interested that the people of this country as a whole and particularly tbo people of th«- West, who have to bring forward this development, ^liould profit while they live in some of this. “But while they profit and haw the right to profit in this development, they should not be over-wasteful or destructive ao that this country may continue to prosper and the peop'e who come after us generations uprn generations, may blase us as well ax our forefathers for having estab lished this government and having taken care of and transmitted to their children tho blowing that are trans mitted to them, and I believe that the spirit exists throughout this country without any hurrah, but *n a plain, common-sense, straightfor ward. hard-headed manner to go straight to the point and do onr d«i»v. “I believe it will be safe to :«ay that there i» only a small proportion of those Western people who are public land criminals and dlspow-d to take advantage of the federal govern ment Wherever they are 1 believe In rigid enforcement of the law and prosecution, and I believe the pro tection of the federal government 1« duo to the honest man who Is »Pek ing his rights under the law. That's all there Is in administration—admin ister the law as you find it. Admin ister In In a fair and open manner, no matter whether It Is Smith or Jones who la seeking tho benefits; but If bo is entitled to them let him have them, and If he is not. bo sure he does not gel them."

JERSEY CITY August 11.—James Gallagher xald to the newspaper men today: "I Intended to kill Mayor Gaynor; that Is all there Is to it. I hope now that he will recover." His favorite author is Shakuepearn, although he has read Dickens. Hen ry George's Progress and Poverty" la the only modem book he read con stantly. "Nelth«.-r Henry George nor Shakes peare Inspired me to shoot Mr. Gay- nor," he said. "I simply felt that I had no other way of remedying the wrong. I had to do something. If I am wrong I'll take my punlsbmenL I do not think I was wrong, I am a follower of William R. Hearst, When he was a candidate for mayor I voted for him and tried to get my friends to vote for him because I believe in him and what he says. Until recently I was « democrat, and stuck to Tam many Hall, but when I found I not getting justice I turned to Hearst. I told my friends that I a reason for that, because Hearst's writings and bis teachings are right. Nothing Is too good for a man like Hearst, who tells the truth and should get any reward the peopl-j can give him." Gallagher's statement in the pres ence of Assistant Prosecutor Mc Carthy to the United Press yesterday was: "I am sorry now for what I did. hope that Mayor Gaynor recovers, think I acted the way I did because I had been robbed of employment. 1 wrote a letter to Mayor Gaynor ask ing him to give my job back to me, but be would not listen. When I left home I had no intentions of shooting Mr. Gaynor. I bought a paper and read that be was going to start on a vacation, and when I thought of hlui so prosperous and me a bum It oc curred to me to rid the country ot this man who refused to right my wrong It was because- I was op- posed to graft that I was fired."
