Document In a Measure . t|. a '$•» fense of the Retiring AdmlriUWtlbh --Duty of the Present Generation to Its Descendants Pointed Out--Obli­ gations of Citizenship---Urgent Need ftor the Development of the Coun- Powsr, Washington.--With the transmission of the. report of the national conservation commission and accompanying papers, Pruldent Roosevelt also sent a massage to congress. The following is a com­ prehensive synopsis of the document: , The president declares his entire con­ currence with the statements and con­ clusions of the report, and proceeds: "It is one of the most fundamentally important documents ever laid before the American people. It contains the first in­ ventory of Its natural resources ever mada by any nation. In condensed form It presents a statement of our available capital in material resources, which are the means of progress, and calls atten­ tion to the essential conditions upon Which the perpetuity, safety and welfare of this nation now rest and must always continue to rest. "The facts set forth in this report con­ stitute an imperative call to action. The situation they disclose demands that we, neglecting for a time, if need be, smaller and less vital questions, shall concentrate an effective part of our attention upon the great material foundations of na­ tional existence, progress, and prosperity. "The first of all considerations Is the permanent welfare of our people; and true moral welfare, the highest form of welfare, can not permanently exist save on a Arm and lasting foundation of mate­ rial well-being. In this respect our situ­ ation is far from satisfactory. After •very possible allowance has been made, and when every hopeful indication has been given its full weight, the facts still give reason for grave concern. It would be unworthy of our history and our in­ telligence. and disastrous to our future, to shut our eyes to these facts or at­ tempt to laugh them out of court. The people should and will rightly demand that the great fundamental questions shall be given attention by their rep­ resentatives. I* do not advise hasty or ill- considered action on disputed points, "but I do urge, where the facts are known, where the public interest is clear, that neither indifference and inertia, nor ad­ verse private Interests, shall be allowed to stand In the way of the public good. "The great basic facts are already well known. We know that our population Is now adding about one-flfth to its numbers In ten years, and that by the middle of the present century perhaps 150,000,000 Americans, and by its end very many millions mere, must be fed and clothed from the products of our soil. "We know now that our rivers can and should be made to serve our people ef­ fectively in transportation, but that the vast expenditures for our waterways have not resulted In maintaining, much less In promoting, Inland navigation. Therefore, let us take immediate steps to ascertain the' reasons and to prepare and adopt a comprehensive plan for Inland- waterway navigation that will result In giving the people the benefits for which they have paid but which they have not yet received. We know nqw that our for­ ests are fast disappearing, that less than one-fifth of them are being conserved, and that no good purpose can he met by failing to provide the relatively small sums needed for the protection, use, and Improvement of all forests still owned by the government, and to enact laws to cheek the wasteful destruction of the tor-' eets in private hands. "We know now that our mineral re­ sources once exhausted are gone for­ ever, and that the needless waste of them costs us hundreds of human lives and nearly >300,000,000 a year. Therefore, let us undertake without delay the In­ vestigations necessary before our people will be in position, through state action or otherwise, to put an end to this huge loss and waste, and conserve both our mineral resources and the lives of the men who take them from the earth. "This administration has achieved some things; it has sought, but has not been able, to achieve, others; it has doubtless made mistakes; but all It has done or attempted has been In the single, consistent effort to se­ cure and enlarge the rights and oppor­ tunities of the men and women of the United States. We are trying to con­ serve what is good in our social sys­ tem, and we are striving toward this end when we endeavor to do away with what is bad. Success may be made too hard for some if It is made too easy for others. The rewards of common Industry and thrift may be too small If the rewards for others, and on the whole less valuable, qualities, are •nade too large, and especially if the rewards for qualities which are really, from the public standpoint, undesir­ able. are permitted to become too large. Our aim is so far as possible to provide such conditions that there shall be equality of opportunity where there is equality of energy, fidelity and Intelligence; when there is a reason­ able equality of opportunity the dis­ tribution of rewards will take eare of itself. "The unchecked existence of monop­ oly is incompatible with equality of opportunity. The reason for the ex­ ercise of government control over great monopolies is to equalize opportunity. We are fighting against privilege. It was made unlawful for corporations to pontribute money for election ex­ penses in order to abridge the power •f special privilege at the polls. Rail­ road rate control is an attempt to se­ cure an equality of opportunity for all men affected by rail transportation; and that means all of us. The great anthracite coal strike was settled, and the pressing danger of a coal famine averted, because we recognised that the control of a publie necessity fea* volves a duty to the people, and that public intervention in the affairs of a public service corporation is neither to be resented as usurpation nor per­ mitted as a privilege by the corpora­ tions, but on the contrary to be ac­ cepted as a duty and exercised as a right by the government In the In­ terest of all the people. The effi­ ciency of the army and the navy has been increased so that our people may follow in peace the great work of making this country a-better place for Americans to live in, and our navy was sent ro «nd the world for the same ultimate pu Ipose. All the acts taken by the government during .the last seven years, and all the policies now being pursued by the Government, fit in as parts of a consistent whole. "The enactment of a pure food law was a recognition of the fact that the public welfare outweighs the right to private gain, and that no man may poison the people for his private profit. The employers' liability bill recog­ nized the controlling fact that while the employer usually has at stake no more than his profit, the stake of the employe is a living for himself and his family. "We are building the Panama canal; and this means that we are engaged in the giant engineeitfng feat of all time. We are striving to add in all ways to the habitability and beauty of our country. We are striving to hold tn the public lands the remaining supply of unappropriated coal, for the protection and benefit of all the people. We have taken the first steps toward the conservation of our natural re­ sources. and the betterment of coun­ try life, and the Improvement of our waterways. We stand for the right of every child .to a childhood free from j grinding toll,, and to an education; for j the civic responsibility and decency I of every citizen; for prudent fore­ sight in public matters, and for fair play In every relation of our national and economic life. In international matters we apply a system of diplo­ macy Which puts the obligations of international morality on a level with those that govern the actions of an honest gentleman In dealing with his fellow-men. Within our own border we stand for truth and honesty In publis and in private life; and we war stern­ ly against wrongdoers of every grade. All these efforts are Integral parts of the same attempt, the attempt to enthrone justice and righteousness, to secure freedom of opportunity to all of our citizens, now and hereafter, and to set the ultimate interest of all of us above the temporary interest of any individual, class, or group. "The nation, its government, and Its resources exist, first of all, for the American citizen, whatever his creed, race, or birthplace, whether he be rich or poor, educated or ignorant, pro­ vided only that he is a good citizen, recognizing his obligations to the na­ tion for the rights and opportunities which he owes to the nation. "The obligations, and not the rights. Of citizenship increase In proportion to the Increase of a man's wealth or power. ' The time Is coming when a man will be judged, not by what he has succeeded In getting for himself from the common store, but by how well he has done his duty as a citizen, and by what the ordinary citizen has gained in freedom of opportunity be­ cause of his service for the common good. The highest value we know 1s that of the individual citizen, and the highest justice is to give hinj fair play in the effort to realise the best there Is in him. "The tasks this nation has to do are great tasks. They can only be done at all by our citizens acting to­ gether, and they can be done best of a#l by the' direct and simple applica­ tion of homely common sense. The application of common sense to common problems for the common good, under the guidance of the principles upon which this republic was based, and by virtue of which it exists, spells per­ petuity for the nation, civil and indus­ trial liberty for its citizens, and freedom of opportunity in the pursuit of happiness for the plain American, for whom this nation was founded, by whom it was preserved, and through whom alone it can be perpetuated. Upon this platform--larger than any party differences, higher than class prejudice, broader than any question of profit and loss--there is room for every American who realizes that the common good stands first." Accompanying the message are ex­ planations and recommendations of work to be dons for the future good of the country. The president says: "It Is especially Important that the develop­ ment of water power should be guard­ ed with the utmost care both by the national government and by the states in order to protect the people against the upgrowth of monopoly and to in­ sure to them a fair share in the bene­ fits which will follow the development of this great asset which belongs to the people and should be controlled by them. "I urge that provision be made for both protection and more rapid devel­ opment of the national forests. Other­ wise, either the increasing use of these forests by the people must be checked or their protection against fire must be dangerously weakened. If we compare the actual fire damage on sim­ ilar areas on private and national for­ est lands during the past year, the government fire patrol saved commer­ cial timber worth as much as the total cost of caring for all national forests at the present rate for about ten years. "I especially commend to congress the facts presented by the commis­ sion as to the relation between for­ ests and stream flow In its bearing upon the importance of the forest lands in national ownership. With­ out an understanding of this ultimate relation the conservation of both these natural resources must largely fail. "The time has fully arrived for rec­ ognizing in the law the responsibility to the community, the state, and the nation which rests upon the private ownership of private lands. The own­ ership of forest land is a public trust. The man who would handle his forest as to cause erosion and to Injure stream flow must be not only educated, but he must be controlled." In conclusion the president urges upon congress the desirability of maintaining a national commission on the conservation of the resources of the country. He adds: "I would also advise that an appropriation of at least 150.000 be made to cover the ex­ penses of the national conservation commission fbr necessary rent, assist­ ance and traveling expenses. This la a very small sum. I know of no other way in which the appropriation of so small a sum would result in So large a benefit to the whole nation." POPULLARITY.

"Commoner's" Daughter Begins Action foe a Legal Separation from William H. Leavitt. . IJncoln, Neb. -- Suit for divorce from her husband, William H. Leavitt, was filed here yesterday by Ruth Bryan Leavitt, daughter of Wil­ liam J. Bryan. Her counsel at once withdrew the petition. T. S. Allen, brother-in-law of Mr. Bryan, is the attorney for the plain­ tiff. Leavitt is now in Paris. The reason given in the petition is alleged non-support. Ta minimize publicity, the attorney exercised a common privilege of taking back Into his possession the documents in the case. The suit is not withdrawn. : Leavitt, who is a prominent Ameri­ can portrait artist, met Miss Ruth Bryan for the first time in 1902, when ho went to Fairview, the Bryan farm, to paint Mr. Bryan's portrait. The two fell in love, and in the face of firm opposition from Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, they were married. Mrs. Bryan | refused to attend the ceremony, but Mr. bryan gave away the bride with what gocd will he could muster. The date of the marriage was October 3, 1903. The two soon quarreled. Leavitt, an imyi ovldent Bohemian, was unable to support his wife, and they lived* in Denver for a time in absolute want. Two babies were born, and Leavitt, raising & little money, decided to go to Europe to study. It was soon after this that Mr. Bry- au went to Denver, found his daughter and uer children actually lackiqg food, and brought her back to his home. Aggregate Amount Provided in Mea»> ure Is $135,000,000.^ ;• Washington.--Exactly as reported by committee, the naval program for the fiscal year 1910 was adopted Fri­ day by the house of representatives, and the naval appropriation bill waa passed. . The opponents of the navy increase feature of the bill found themselves in a hopeless minority. The only vital alteration made in the measure was the striking out of the provision re­ storing marines to naval vessels. The aggregate amount appropriated by the bill is $135,000,000. As has been the case in the past, the increase in the naval estimate gave rise to extended and-heated de- ' passengers on the Republic and Flori- 4 New, York.--Less than 72 hours after the crash between the ocean liners Republic and Florida off the Nantucket Shoals, which eventually sent the one to the bottom and re­ duced the other to a state of stagger- teg helplessness, the survivors of this thrilling deep sea tragedy found ft haven. At nightfall Monday 1,650 pas­ sengers from the two vessels were •afe in this port, brought here by the Baltic. At nine o'clock the derelict destroy* er Seneca, aboard of which were Cap*. Sealby and his volunteer crew, who stood by the Republic till she sank, arrived in the harbor. With Capt. Sealby were Seconal Mate Williams, who refused to leave hia captain when the latter ordered the volunteer cfew to the cutter Gresham, and "Jack" Binns, the Republic's wire­ less operator, who stayed heroically at his post when the collision came and summoned aid from far and near through his electrical signals sent into the air.

Mark's Story of Petrified Indian Good Joke on Town. The days when "Sam" Clemens "stuck type" on the Hannaba! Union are recalled by this anecdote: One morning "Sam" came into the office •ery thoughtful, hung up his coat and went to the frame. He worked diligently for several hours without any copy on his small-cap case in front of him. He was setting up the story of a wonderful find he and some of bis comrades found in Mc- Dougal's eave the Sunday before. The narration was to the effect that a crowd of boys, while exploring th o grant nova on Sunday afternoon, ran across a pet- rifled Indian. The citizens were great­ ly worked up over the story, and they hired a scientist from Quincy to look the dead Indian in the face and report. The man who came to perform this task wore gray mutton-chop whiskers, a thoughtful brow, and spectacles, of course. He was an unemotional chap, and he looked learned and the commit­ tee was satisfied of his ability. By the tarns of his contract he waa to write a complete report, detailing every possible feature of the discovery for historical preservation. The in­ vestigator returned at nightfall, cov­ ered with clay, with clothing torn and skin barked in countless places by falls of rocks. He sought out the chairman of the committee that em­ ployed him and silently delivered to him this statement: "Mileage in look­ ing for dead Indian, $20", reading story about dead Indian, $5; bruised shins on the way to dead Indian, |10.
