PAIRING DUTY Roosevelt at St Paul Advocates New Methods. WASTE AND MONOPOLY WRONG Waterways and Foreet* Discussed-- 8tats and Federa! Control--Coun­ try Life Institute Is Favored. St. Paul. Minn.. Sept. Theodore Roosevelt was the central figure In the conservation congress today, and delivered an address that called forth the warmest praise of those who were fortunate enough to hear it. The fact that the former president was to speak attracted to the convention hall a tremendous crowd, and the man who h&s made conservation one of the chief issues In the United States was given th« heartiest kind of a gr noting. Taking "National Efficiency" for his general subject. Mr. Roosevelt said: Axnertc&'s reputation for efficiency Stands deservedy high throughout the world. We are efBHent probably t.o the full-limit that any nation can attain by the methods hitherto used. There Is great reason to be proud of our achievements, and yet no reason to believe that we can­ not excel our past. Through a practically unrestrained Individualism. we have reached a pitch of literary Unexampled material prosperity; although the distri­ bution of this prosperity leaves much to be desired from the standpoint of justice and fair dealing. But we have not only allowed the individual a free hand, which was In the main right; we have also al­ lowed great corporations to act as though they were Individuals, and to exercise the rights of Individuals, In addition to using the vast combined power of high organi­ sation and enormous wealth for their own advantage. This development of corpo­ rate action. It Is true. Is doubtless In large part responsible for the gigantic de­ velopment of our natural resources, but it Is not less responsible for waste, destruc­ tion, and monopoly on %n equally gigantic scale. The method of reckleee »b4 "Bcsa- trolled private use and waste has done for us all the good It ever can, and ft Is time to put an end to It before It does all the evil It easily may. We have passed the time when heedless waste and de­ struction, and arrogant monopoly, are any longer permissible. Henceforth we must seek National effldency by a new and a better way, by the way of the or­ derly development and use, coupled with the preservation, of our natural resource* by making the most of what we have for the benefit of all of us. Instead of leaving the souroes of material prosperity open to Indiscriminate exploitation. These are some of the reasons why It Is wise that we should abandon the old point of view, and why conservation has become a pa­ triotic duty. Waterways Development. One of the greatest of our conservation problems Is the wise and prompt develoo- ment and use of the waterways of this Nation. The Twin Cities, lylns: as they do at the headwaters of the Mississippi, are no* upon the direct line of the pro­ posed fokes to the gulf deep waterway. Yet they are deeply Interested In Its prompt completion, as well as In the deepening and regulation of the Missis­ sippi to the mouth of the Missouri and to the gulf. The project for a great trunk waterway, an arm of the sea, extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes. should not he abandoned. The lakes to the prulf deep waterway, and the development of the rivers which flow Into It. should be pushed to completion vtgorouslv and without delay. In nearlv every river city from St. Paul to the gulf the water-front is controlled by tM railways. Nearly every artificial waterway in the TTnlted States, either di­ rectly or Indirectly. Is under the same control. It goes without savin* that (un­ less the people prevent It In advance) the railways will attemnt to take control of our waterways as fast as they are Im­ proved and completed: nor wonld I blame them. If we, the people, are wtiplne In the matter. We must wee to It that adequate terminals are provided In every city and town -en -every improved watenrav, termi­ nals open under reasonable conditions to the use of every cltlien. and Tijfluiy pro­ tected seal net monopoly; and we mu«t compel the rallwav* to eo-oper*te w*th the waterways contlnuouslv. effectively, and under reasonable conditions. TTnleee we do so the railway lines will refuse to deliver freight to the boat lines, either openly or by Impoeing prohibitory condi­ tions, and the waterways once improved will do comparatively little for the bene­ fit of the people who pay the bill. Adequate terminals prooerly controlled and open throusrh lines bv rail And boat are two absolutely essential conditions to the usefulness «f Inland waterwav devel­ opment. I believe furthermore that the railways should be prohibited from own­ ing, controlling, or carrying any Interest fn the boat lines on our rlverw. unless und*r the strictest regulation and control of the Inter-State Commerce Commission, •o that the shippers' interests may bs fully protected. The National Forests. If any proof were needed that forest protection Is a National duty, the recent destruction of forests In the west by fire would supply it. Even with the aid of the army added to that of the foreet service the loss has been severe. With­ out either It would hsve been vastly greater. But tho foreet service does more than protect the National forests against fire. It makes them practically and Increasing­ ly useful as well. During the last year for which I have the figures the National forests were used by 22.000 cattlemen with their herds, 4,000 sheepmen with their flocks, B.000 tlmbermen with their crews, and 46.000 miners. More than 8.00© persons used them for other special Industries. Nearly M.OOO settlers had the free use of wood. The total resident population of the National forests is about a quarter of a million, whteh is larger than the population of pertain states. More than 700.000 acres of ag­ ricultural land have been patented or listed for patent within the forests, and the reports of the forest officers show that more than 400,000 people a year use the forests for recreation, camping, hunt­ ing, fishing, and similar purposes. All this Is done, of course, without Injury to the timber, which has a value of at least a thousand million dollars. Moreover, the National forests protect the water supply of a thousand cities and towns, about 800 irrigation projects, and more than gOO power projects, not counting the use of water for these and other pur- posss by individual settlers Country Life Institute. TThe Investigations of the Country Life Commission have led the farmers of this country to realise that they have not been their fair ahare of progress and aS that ft hrtngs. Rams of our farming communities in the Mississippi vaiiey and in the middle west have made marvelous progress, yet even the best of them, like communitlea of every other kind, are not beyond improvement, while much needs to be done In some other sections to im­ prove country life. As yet we know com­ paratively tittle of the basic facts of rural civilization. The means for better farm­ ing we have studied with care, but to bet­ ter living on the farm and to better busi­ ness on the firm the .farmers themselves have given scant attention. One of the most urgent needs of our civilisation is that the farmers themselves should un­ dertake to get for themselves a better knowledge along these lines, and then to spplv it. Sir Hnr«c« Plunkett, for many years a Wyoming cattleman, and now de­ voting himself in Ireland to the country life problem there, has suggested In his recent book on the "Country Life Prob­ lem In America" the creation of a Coun­ try LJfe Institute as a center where the work and knowledge of the whole world concerning country life may be brought together for the use of every nation. I am ptrongly In sympathy with this Idea, and I hope to see it carried out with the co-cperatlon and assistance of our own people. Last spring, while visiting the capital of Hungary. Byds-Pesth. I was Immensely Impressed by the Museum of Country Life, containing an extraordinary series of studies In agriculture, In stock- raising, In forestry, In mining; the ex­ hibits were of the utmost practical im­ portance and were oleo Intensely Inter­ esting and Instructive. Ac a people wc have not yet learned to economize. On* of the virtues we Ameri­ cans oiMt need Is thrift. It 1s a raera truism to say that luxui-y and extrava­ gance are not good for a Nation. So far as they affect character, the loss they cause may be beyond computation. But In the material sense there la a loss greater than la causcd by both extrava­ gance and luxury pui together. I mean the needless, useless, and excessive loss to our people from yremature death and avoidable diseases. Wholly apart from the grief, the suffering, and the wretched­ ness which they cause, the material loss each year has been calculated at nearly twice what It costs to run the Federal government. In addition to the state and city health officers and organisations, there Is urgently needed a Federal bu­ reau of health, to act, so far as the Na­ tional government properly may, to re­ lieve our people from this dreadful bur­ den. National Conservation Commission. One of the most Important meetings In our recent history was that of the gov­ ernors In the white house In May. 1908, to consider the conservation question. By the advice of the governors the meeting was followed by the appointment of a Nation*! conservation commission. The meeting of the governors directed the stteullon of the country to conservation as nothing; else could have done, while the work of the commission gave the movement definlteneas and supplied It with a practical program. But at the moment when the commission was ready to begin the campaign for putting Its pro­ gram Into effect an amendment to the Sundry civil service bill was Introduced by a congressman from Minnesota with the purpose of putting a stop to (lie work •o admirably begun. Congress passed the amendment. Its object was to put an end to the work of a number at commis­ sions. which had been appointed by the president, and whose contribution to the public welfare bed b«en simply Incalcu­ lable. Among theee were the commission for reorganising the business method* of the government, the puhllc land* com­ mission. the country life commlesion, and the National conservation commis­ sion Itself. When I signed the Sundry civil service bill containing this amend­ ment, I transmitted with It as my last ollclid act a memorandum declaring that the amendment was void, because It was an unconstitutional Interference with the lights of the executive, and that If I were to remain president I would pay to It no attention whatever. The National conservation commission thereupon became dorn s nr. "Tie suepsn- tion of Its work came at a moat unfor­ tunate time, and there was se»loua dan­ ger that the progress already made wonld be lost. At this cr!*!«"*l moment 'ho Na­ tional conservation tf soctatlon was or­ ganised. It took up the work which oth­ erwise would not have do-.v*. end It e.*er<"lsed a most useful lnfhienc« .m pre­ vent! r* hs<* legVilfctlm. in s--*ir»n» the lnlroOuctlon of bett-r conservation meas­ ures at *he past session of co"«rree* and in promoting the passage of w'*e laws.

It Joins wltii the Na­ tional conservation congress !r holding this meeting. T am hero by the Joint In­ vitation of both. Pan-American Construction. when th» government of the United States awoke to the Idea of conservation and saw that It was good. It loet no time In communicating the advantages of the new point of view to Its Immediate neigh­ bors among the nations. A North Ameri­ can conservation conference was held In Washington, and the co-operation of Csnada and Mexico In the great problem of developing the resources of the contl- nept for the benefit of its people was asked and promised. The nations u?x»n our ? orthem and southern boundaries wisely realised that their opportunttv to conserve the natural resources was better than ours, because with them destruction and monopolisation had not gone so far as they had with us. Bo it Is with the republic" of Central and South America. Obvlouslv they are on the verge of a period of great material progress. The development of their natural resources-- their forests, their mines, their water, and their soils--will create enormous wealth. It Is to the mutual Interest of the United 8tates and our slater Ameri­ can republics that this development should be wisely done. Our manufactur­ ing Industries offer a market for more and more of their natural wealth and raw material, while they will increasingly desire to meet that demand in commer­ cial exchange. The more we buy from them, the more we shall sell to them. Their prosperity Is Inseparably Involved with our own. Thank heaven, we of this cor.tlnent are now beginning to realise, what In ths end the whole world will realise, that normally It Is a good thing for a nation to have Its neighbor nations prosper. We of the United States are genuinely and heartily pleased to see growth and prosperltv in Canada. In Mexico, In South America. It Is clear that unless the governments of our southern neighbors take steps hi ths near future by wise legislation to eon-- trol the development and use of their natural resources, they will probably fall Into ths hands of concessionaries and pro­ moters. with single purpose, without re­ gard to the permanent welfare of the land In which they work, will be to make the most possible money in the shortest possible time. There will be shameful waste, destructive loss, and short-sighted disregard of the future, as we have learned by bitter experience here at home. Unlees the governments of all the American republics, including our own, eaact in time such laws as will both pro­ tect their natural wealth and promote their legitimate and reasonable develop­ ment future generations will owe their misfortunes to us of today. A great pa­ triotic duty calls upon us. We owe It to ourselves and to them to give the Ameri­ can republics all the help we can. The cases In which we have failed should be no less instructive than the cases in which we have succeeded. With prompt action and good will ths task of saving the wsonresa for Che psofffs Is Mi at hops for us all. State and Federal Control. But while we of the United State* are anxious, as I believe we are able, to bs of assistance to others, there are pro¥» lems of our own which we must not ove^ look. One of the most Important con­ servation questions of the moment relates to the control of water power monopoly In the public Interest. There Is apparent to the Judicious observer a distinct ten­ dency on the part of our opponents to cloud the Issue by raising the question of state as against federal Jurisdiction. Ws are ready to meet that Issue if it Is forced upon us. But there is no hope for ths plain people in such conflicts of Jurisdic­ tion. The essential question is not one of hair-splitting legal technicalities. It Is simply this: Who can best resrulate the special Interests for the public good? Most of the predatory corporations are interstate or have Interstate affiliations. Therefore they are largely out of reach of effective state control, and fall of neces­ sity within the federal jurisdiction. One of the prime objects of those among them that are grasping and greedy is to avoid any effective control either by state or nation; and they advocate at this time state control simply because they believe It to be the least effective. In the great fight of the people to drive the special Interests from the domination of our gov­ ernment. the nation Is stronger and its Jurisdiction Is more effective than that of any state. The most effective weapon against these great corporations, most of which are financed and owned on the At­ lantic coast, will be federal laws and ths federal executive. Tfriaf is why I so strongly oppose the demand to turn thesa matters over to the states It is funda­ mentally a demand against the Interest of the plain people, of the people of small means, against the Interest of our chil­ dren and our children's children; and It Is primarily In the Interest of the great corporations which desire to escaps all government control. The Conservation Fight. On of the difficulties In putting Into practise the conservation Idea Is that ths field to which it applies Is constantly growing In the public mind. It has been no slight task to bring before 100.000 peo­ ple a great conception like that of con­ servation. and convince them that It Is right. This much we have accom­ plished. But there remains much to bs cleared up. and many misunderstandings to be removed. These misunderstandings are due In part at least to direct mis­ representation by the men to whose Interest It Is that conservation should not prosper. For example, we find It con­ stantly said by men who should know better that temporary wthdmwals. such as the withdrawals of corI lands, will permanently check development. Tet the fact Is thst these withdrawals have no purpose except to prevent the coal lands from passing into private owner­ ship until conaTeas can pass laws to open them to development under conditions Just alike to the public and to the men who will do the developing. If there la delay, the responsibility for It rests, not on the men who made the withdrawals to protect the public Interest, but on thoss who prevent congress from pass<ng wise legislation, and so putting an end to ths need for withdrawals. Abuses committed In the nsme of a lust cause are familiar to sll of us. Manv unwise things are done and many unwise measures are advocated in the name of conservation, either through lrnorance, or by those whose interest lies not In pro­ moting the movement, but In retarding It. For example, t« stop water power devel­ opment by needless refusal to issue per­ mits for, water power e* private irrigation worfce on the oubl'c lands Inevitably leads many men. friendly tr» conservation and believers In Its general principles, to as­ sume that its practical application Is nec­ essarily a check upon progress. Nothing could be more mistaken. The Idea, widely circulated of late, that conservation means locking up of the natural resources for ths exclusive use of future generations Is wholly mistaken. Our purpose is re make fall use of these resource*, but tr consid­ er our sons and daughter* as well as our­ selves; Just as a farmer uses f«rm In ways to preserve Its future us^^lnesa. Conservation Is the road to nafcrnl ef­ ficiency. and It standi for ample a id wise development. But In spite of these difficultly, most of which sr» doubtless Inevitable In movement of this kind, conservation ^ss made marvelous progress. I hSve been astounded and de!1*hted on mv return from abroad at the progress mad- wh'le I was awav. We have a rlirht to reneratu- lats ourselves on this marve'on* t>co*t°ss: but there Is no resson for heiieXTn* that the flrht Is won. In the beg^n-tlng the special Interests, who are our ch'ef oppo­ nents in the conservation fleht. p.tld little heed to the movement, because 1hev nei­ ther understood it. nor saw that if it won they must lose. But with the progress of conservation In the minds of our people the fight Is gettln* sharper. The nearer we approach to vlotorv. the hrtt»r»r the ooposltlon that we must meet, and the greater the peed for caution an*! watch­ fulness. Ooep opposition we can over­ come. but I warn you especially against the men who come t« con«Tesses sifh as this, ostensibly as disinterested c't'sena, but actually as the paid agents of the specie! interests. I heartily approve the attitude of anv corporation Inteiested In the deliberations of a meetlne such as the. ^vhich comes hither to advocate, bv Its openlv accredited agents views which It believes the meeting should have In mind But I condemn with eou-M readi­ ness the appearance of a corporate a*ent before any convention who does not de­ clare himself frankly as such. This congress Is a direct apeal to the patriotism of our whole peopll. The nation wisely looks to such gatherinrs for counsel and leadership. I^t that leadership be sound, definite, practical, and on the side of all the people. It would be no small misfortune If a meeting such as this should ever fall Into the hands of the open enemies or fnls» friends of the great movement which It repre­ sents. It is our duty and our desire ta make this land of ours a better home for tha race, but our duty does not stop there. We must also work for a better nation to live in this better land. The development and conservation of our national eharae- acter and our free Institutions must go hand in hand with the development and conservation of our natural resources, which the smyernor's conference so well called the foundations of our prosperity. Whatever progress we may make as a nation, whatever wealth we mav accu­ mulate. however far we may push me­ chanical development and produi-tlon. ws shall never reach a point where our wel- | fare can depend In the last analysis on | anything but honesty, courage loyalty, i and good cltlsenshlp. The homely vir­ tues are the lasting virtues, and the road which leads to them Is the road to gen­ uine and lasting success. What this country needs Is what every free country must set before It as tha great goal toward which It works--an equal oi>ortunltv for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for every cne of Its cltisens. To achieve this end must put a stop to the Improper political do­ minion. no less than to the Improper eco­ nomic dominion, of the great special Interests. This country. Its natural re­ sources. Its natural advantages Its oppor­ tunities and its instltutons, belong to all its cltltens. They cannot be entered fully fully and fre'ely under anv govfrnmen in which the special Interests as sfich have a voice. The supreme political ta«L« of our day, the Indispensable condition of national efficiency and national w elfare, is to drive the spei^al Interests out of our publio life. SNAKE WB REST IN YOUNS WOMAN'S "RAT" GIRL 18 BITTEN MANY TIMES WITHOUT KNOWING THE CAUSE A STITCH IN TOE Richmond. Va.--Bitten several times by a small moccasin snake which nested In her "rat" when she had laid that creation beside her as she rested in a hammock in her front yard in the evening. Miss Mary Wood of the West end is reported to he In a serious con­ dition, though she will recover from the venomous hltes.

The girl Is a department store clerk, and on the day of the strange occurrence she went to work as usual behind the counter. Her head began to Itch and pain her In a short time, and, taking another girl Into her con­ fidence, Miss Wood went to the dress­ ing room, where the hair was taken down. Several small red and swollen splotches were discovered on her scalp, hut little thought was given to them. Enduring the pain all day, the girl went home at closlng-up time and told her mother of her discomfort. The hair was again taken down and the scalp examined, and drops of blood with more incisions were discovered. The mother then asked for the "rat" upon which the young woman was ac­ customed to do up her tresses, and. taking It. began squeezing it in an absent-minded way. What was her horror to feel something wriggle In­ side the fussy thing. Hastily tearing It to pieces, the mother was surprised when a six-inch moccasin dropped to the floor and wriggled away, after stri­ king at her without effect several times. The girl fainted at sight of the rep­ tile, and was carried to bed, where she to now under the care of a phy­ sician. She stated that the "rat" had not been examined after lying In the hammock In the evening, and it Is the supposition that the reptile got into It then. All day long, while the girl was waiting on the bargain seekers, the little reptile kept itself hidden In the hair-enfolded "rat." And all day long as its fancy dictated or its hunger commanded. It sank Its tiny fangs into the girl's head, causing her Intense discomfort. The snake was so young that its venomous quality had scarcely devel­ oped, is the theory for the girl not dying from the bites. CALFLESS COW ADOPTS PIGS The Yawn Cure.

COMING MAN OF BUSINESS Globular Lightning. Yesterday the Inhabitants of Lewis- ham were provided with a specimen of that curious phenomenon known as "globular lightning." It is what is commonly called the "fire ball," and as it persists for several seconds it is obviously of a totally different charac­ ter from any other form of lightning. It is much lets brilliant than ordinary lightning, and its brightness appears to be that of Iron at the "red hot" stage. it is not, as some accounts might lead one to infer, a solid missile, but it is always spherical and appears to fall from a thunder cloud by its own gravity, sometimes rebounding after striking the ground.--London Globe.
