In his speech Colonel Roosevelt outlined his ideas as to conservation. Saying that the reckless and uncontrolled waste of the past must be stopped, he declared himself In favor of rigid steps to preserve the country's natural resources for the benefit of the whole people and to check the power of monopolistic corporations. "Much that I have to say on the subject of conservation will be but a repetition of what was so admirably said from this platform yesterday," said Colonel Roosevelt.

His compli ment to the President was received with a cheer. In speaking of the control of water ways by the railroads, Colonel Roosevelt warned the people not to sit supine and let the railroads get control, onlv to say later that the men at the head of the railroads were very bad men. The ex President then turned to the question of drainage, departing from his prepared speech. Where the land to be drained laid entirely within one State, he said, it might be well for the time, for the States to take control of the matter. Swamps which extend over parts of more than one State, he said, should be improved by the Federal government and he thought it would, be better if State swamp lands should be ceded back to the general government that it jnlght do the drainage work.

"All friends of conservation," he continued, "should be in heartiest agreement with the policy which the President laid down in connection with the coal, oil and phosphate 'lands, and I am glad to be able to say" that at its last session Congress finally completed the work of separating the surface titles to the land from the mineral beneath it."

"Those who have not paid their taxes should "do so at once. Today is the first of the three registration days, but it is always advisable to register early.
