Pinchot had written to Burnham, “I have talked with a good many men about the plan and no one has developed any weak points yet.”
But since the time of Roosevelt, Pinchot and Garfield they have begun to sing a different song.
There is, however, one consideration which will make Mr. Pinchot and his associates hesitate to adopt this course.
"Yes, I see that," said the first, "and that they found Pinchot has stolen a million acres of public land" (laughter).
Pinchot in respect to his subject was a fine political inventor.
I want to endorse what Mr Pinchot said this morning in behalf of the work which the women have done for Conservation.
