HAY. BE
Special by United Press.
Topeka Kan. Aug. 29. The In-
surgents will control the Kansas re-
publican convention meeting here to-
morrow but despite their majority it
iu predicted today that a conservative
progressive platform regarding na-
tional Issues will be adopted.
It is believed xhat the conservative
wing of the party will prevent any
denouncement of the tariff nnd the ad-
ministration even should the radicals
attempt it. -
It if! regarded probable that the ad-
ministration will bo endorsed for Its
"good Intentions" at least.

tionists also assemble separately to-
morrow. Fosters Held Here

Harry James of Oklahoma City. They
are now locked up in the city jail.
Both prisoners emphatically assert
their innocence and all efforts of the
police and secret service men to draw
a confession by offering immunity if
the stolen ring is "turned up" have
been unavailing.

Denver Aug. 29. What Cheyenne
left undone for Roosevelt Saturday ia
the way of strenuosity was supplied by
Denver today when the colonel ar-
rived at 10:40 this morning for a
twenty hours stay. He was greeted ty
the largest crowd since tho beginning
of his trip.
It Is estimated a hundred thousand
visitors are here. A salute of twenty-
one guns announced Roosevelt' ar-
rival. He was received by a committee
including Governor Shaforth Mayor
Speer and republican state and civio
organizations
Denver Col. Aug. 29. Col Roose-
velt speaking here today said in part:
"This country has shown definite
signs of waking up to the absolute
necessity of handling Its natural re-
sources with foresight and common
sense. The conservation question has
three sides. In the first place the
needless waste of the natural resources
must be stopped. It is rapidly becom-
ing a well settled policy of this people
that we of this generation hold tho
land in part for the next generation
and not exclusively for our own selfish
enjoyment. Just as the farmer is a
good -".'ten if he leaves hla farm Im-
proved and not impaired for hla chil-
dren arid a bad citizen if he skins the
land In his own; serfish interest so the
nation behaves well if it treats the
natural resources as assets which It
must turn over to the next generation
increased and not impaired in value
and behaves badly if it leaves the land
poorer to those who come after us.
"In the second place the natural re-
sources must be developed promptly
completely and in orderly fashion. It
is not conservation to leave the pai;:"E'l
resources undeveloped. Development
Is an Indispensable part of the conser-
vation plan. The forests the mines
tho water powers and the land itsolf
must all be put to use. Those who as-
sert that conservation proposes to tie
them up depriving this generation of
their benefits In order to hand them
on untouched to the next miss the
whole point of the conservation idea.'
Conservation does not mean depriving
the men of today of their natural
rights in the natural resources of uie
land. All it means ia that we of this
generation shall so uso our rights as
not to deprive those who come after
us of their natural rights in their turn.
"In the third place so far as possible
these resources must be kept for tha
whole people and not handed over for
exploitation to single individuals. We
do not intend to discourage individual
enterprise by unwisely diminishing the
