THE BIOKSIJiO OKEliOAIAN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1907. RAPS UNDESIRABLE CITIZENS AGAIN Roosevelt Says in Regard to Criminal Labor Leader, "I Stand by What I Said." DROP ALL PARTY LINES fn Considering National Topics, the President Says Politics Should Be Disregarded Promises to Stamp Out Murderers. POINTS OF ROOSEVELT'S STEECH There can b Just as real progress and culture In the country as in the city. River regulation ia rate regula- tlon. Planned and orderly development le essential to the best uee of every natural resource and to, none more than to the best use of our Inland waterways. It Is computed that the annual value of the available but unused water power in the United States exceeds the annual value of the products of all our mines. The National forest policy. Inaug urated primarily to avert or miti gate the timber famine which la now beginning to be felt, has been effec tive also In securing partial control of floods. There is an intimate relation be tween our streams and the develop ment and conservation of all the other great permanent sources of wealth. To allow the public land to b worked by the tenants of rich men for the profit of the landlords. In stead of by freeholders for the liveli hood of their wives and children. Is little less than a crime against our people and our Institutions.' Shall we continue the waste and destruction of our natural resources, or shall we conserve them? There la no other question of equal gravity now before the Nation. The digging of the Panama Canal Is the greatest engineering feat which baa yet been attempted on this globe. The one intolerable position for a self-respecting nation, as for a self ronpectlng man. Is to bluff and then not be able to make good. Ths old days of happy-go-lucky Indifference on the part of the pub lic to the conduct of the corporations have passed. In any movement looking to the regulation of vast corporate wealth there will be suffering In which many Innocent people will be Involved. But euch suffering of the Innocent Is unavoidable In every great move ment of life. In the fundamental questions most deeply affecting the life of the Na tion there can be no ' proper division on party lines. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 4. With bands playing, children singing and enthusiastic men shouting- the slogan of Deep "Water ways, Memphis threw wide her gates this afternoon to President Roosevelt, a score of Governors and many other dis tinguished men of the Mississippi Valley. The President arrived on the steamer Mississippi shortly after 1 o'clock. When all had landed the President was conducted to a carriage by Governor Pat terson, of Tennessee, and Mayor Malone, of Memphis, and the most imposing parade ever given here was begun. The President was continuously cheered throughout the march. Ilod.vgunrd of Confederate Veterans. When the President's carriage turned into Main street he was saluted by a regiment of Confederate Veterans who from that point acted as a bodyguard The President arose and .warmly greeted the grizzled warriors of half a century a fro. Despite a lively downpour of rain- which lasted until noon, the streets were Jam med with people- Passing north on Sec ond streets, 2000 school children were Feuted on a decorated arch and sang patriotic airs as the head of the Nation passed. The President arose in his car riage and bowed repeatedly to the little ones. Arriving at the Auditorium Rink, where the Deep Waterways convention Is being hold, President Roosevelt alighted and after chatting with several friends, as cended the platform. The huge struc ture filled up rapidly and when Governor Patterson arose to present the President, an Immense assemblage greeted him. Peparts From Printed Speech. President Roosevelt departed from his prjntd speech In several instances. Speak ing of the deep water channel fro mthe Gulf to the Iakeg. the President said he favored rapid improvement of the Mis sissippi River. When the Panama Canal has been completed, he said, this Nation would not ask other government not to bother the canal. We would protect it. 'We must have a larger and highly efficient Navy to patrol our coasts, not only on the Atlantic, but on the Pacific, he said. He urged the people to disre gard the party lines in all purely Na tional matters. In conclusion of bis dis cussion of the corporations, the Presi dent said his experience in the past few years had brought him to the point of reeling sincere sympathy for certain gentlemen who were cast Into a, frenzy by the most commonsense remarks. It has come to a point, he said, where a m remark that honesty is the best policy is liable to lead to a run on the banks. Again Condemns In desirables. "I will use my utmost power tct stamp out murnerous and lawless anarchists. ho declared, "and I will no more stay my nana because a wrongdoer masquer ade as a labor leader than if he mas querades as a captain of Industry. I have heretofore expressed myself on the sub ject of undesirable citizens; and I stand by what I said, alike when he Is a great capitalist who wins a fortune by chlcan ery and wrongdoing and when he Is a man who, under the guise of standing up for labor, preaches and encourages vio lence and murder. When the President closed his address he was driven rapidly to his train at the Missouri Paclflo Railroad station and de parted at 6 o'clock for Lake Providence, I., for a hunting trip. Wealth of the Mississippi Valley. In his speech before the Deep Waterway Commission the President urged again the improvement of alt the great natural highways of the country, and mentioned rpecificaily the Miasissippl. the Columbia, the Sacramento and 6an Joaqulm Rivers. After touching upon the part that his in rat In the Mississippi River was en hanced by the fact that an ancestor of his navigated the first steamboat from Pittsburg to New Orleans, he went on to speak of the greatness of the Mississippi Valley with its 12,000 miles of navigable water and its population exceeding, with one or two exceptions, that of any Euro pean kingdom, the magnificence of its fertility and the wealth of its natural re sources; dwelling on its importance politi cally and commercially. '.Here more than anywhere else, he said, "will be determined the future of the United States and indeed of the whole Western world." He continued: Such being the case, and this valley being literally the heart of the United States, all that concerns Its welfare must concern like wise the whole country. Therefore, the Mississippi River and Us tributaries ought by all means to be utilised to their utmost possibility. Facility of cheap transporta tion is an essential in our modern civiliza tion, and we cannot afford any longer to neglect the great highways which nature has provided for us. These natural high ways, the waterways, can never be monop olised by any corporation. They belong to an me peopie, ana it is in tne power oi -no one to take them away. Wherever a navi gable river runs beside railroads the. prob lem of regulating the rates on the rail roads becomes far easier, because river reg ulation Is rate regulation. When the water rate sinks, the land rate cannot be kept at ' excessive neignc. inereiore it is Of Na tional Importance to develop these streams as highways to the fullest extent which la genuinely profitable. Year by year trans portation problems become more acute, and the time has come when the rivers really fit to serve as arteries of trade should be provided with channels deep enough and wiae enough to make the investment of the necessary money profitable to the pub lic. The National Government should un dertake this wort Where the Immediately abutting land la markedly benefited, and this benefit can be definitely localized, I trust that there will be careful investigation to see whether some wit can be devised by which the Immediate beneficiaries may pay a portion of the expenses as Is now the custom as regards certain classes of im provements In our municipalities; and meas ures should be taken to secure from the localities specially benefited proper termi nal facilities. The expense to the Nation of entering upon such a scheme of river Improvement as that which I believe It should undertake, will necessarily be great. Movement National in Character. Many cautious and conservative people will look askance upon the project, and from every standpoint it is necessary, if we wish to make it suocessful, that we should enter upon It only under conditions which will guarantee the Nation against waste of its money, and which will In sure us against entering upon any project until after the most elaborate expert examination, and reliable calculation pf the proportion between cost and benefit. In any project like this there should be a definite policy, and a resolute purpose, to keep in mind that the only Improvements made should be those really National In their character. We should act on the same principle In Im proving our rivers that we should follow in Improving our harbors. ' The great harbors are of consequence not merely to the im mediate localities, but to Immense stretches of country; and the same Is true of the great rivers. It la these great rivers and great harbora the improvement of which Is of primary National Interest. The main streams should be Improved to the highest practical degree of efficiency before Im provements are attempted on the branches, and work should be undertaken only when completion la In sight within a reasonable time, so that assured results may be gained and the communities affected depend upon the improvements. Moreover, as an inci dent in carina for the river so that it may become an efficient channel of transporta tion, the United States Government should do Its full part In levee building, which, in the lower reaches of the river, will not only give a channel for commerce, but will also give protection to the adjacent bot tom lands. Importance of the Columbia. This is but one of the many projects which there la time to consider, although & most Important one. Plans for the Im provement of our Inland navigation may fairly begin with our greatest river and its chief tributaries, but they cannot end there. The lands which the Columbia drains Include a vast- area of rich grain fields and fruit lands, . much of which is not easily reached by railways. The re moval of obstructions In the Columbia and Its chief tributaries would open to navi gation and inexpensive freight transporta tion fully 2000 miles of channel. The Sacra mento and San Joaquin Rivers with their tidal openings into San Francisco Bay are partly navigable now. Their navigation should be maintained and Improved, so as to open the marvelously rich valley of Call fornla to Inexpensive traffic, in order.- to facilitate both rate regulation and the control of the waters for other purposes. And many other rivers of the United States demand improvement, so as better to meet theN requirements of Increasing production from the soil. Increasing manufactures and a rapidly growing population. Hitherto such opportunities for using water to double purpose have not always been seized. Thus It has recently been shown that water enough Is flowing un used over Government dams, built to lm prcve navigation, to produce many hun dreds of thousands of horsepower. It ,n computed that the annual value or tne avail able but unused water power in the United States exceeds the annual value of the products of all our mines. Kurt her more, it Is calculated that under judicious hand ling the power of our streams may be made to pay tor all the works required for the complete development and control of our inland waterways. Policy in Regard to Forests. Forests are the most effective preventers of floods, especially when they grow on the higher mountain slopes. The National for est policy. Inaugurated primarily to avert or mlttsate the timber famine which Is now beginning to be felt, has been effective also In securing partial control of floods by le tarding the run-off and checking the erosion of the higher slopes within the National forests. 8 till the loss from aoll wash is enormous. It la computed that one-fifth of a cubic mile In volume, or one billion tons in weight of the richest soil matter of the United states la annually gathered In storm rivulets, washed into the rivers, and borne Into the sea. The loss to the farmer is In effect a tax greater than all other land taxes combined, and one yield ing absolutely no return. The Department of Agriculture is now devising and testing means to check this enormous waste through improved methods of agriculture and forest management. Citizens of all portions of the country are coming to realize that, however Important the Improvement of navigation may be. It Is only one of many ends to be kept In view. The demand for navigation is hard ly more pressing than the demands for re claiming lands by Irrigation in the arid re gions and by drainage in the humid low lands, or for utilizing the water power now running to waste, or for purifying the waters so aa to reduce or remove the tax of soil waste, to promote manufactures and safeguard life. It Is the part of wisdom to adopt not a Jumble of unrelated plans, but a single comprehensive scheme for meet ing all the demands so far as possible at the same time and by the same means. This Is the reason why the Inland Waterways Commission waa created In March last. largely in response to petitions from citi aens of the. Interior, including many of the members of thla Congress. Broad In atructlons were given to the Commission in accordance with this general policy that no plan should be prepared for the use of any stream for a single purpose without cai e fully considering, and so far as practicable actually providing for, the use of that stream for every other purpose. Plana f-r navigation and power should provide with special care for sites and terminals not only for the immediate present, but also for the future. It Is because of my conviction m these matters that I am here. The Inland Waterways Commission has a task broader than the consideration of waterways alone. There is an Intimate relation between our streams and the development and conserva tion of all the other great permanent sources of wealth. It Is not possible rightly to consider the one without the other. No study of the problem of the waterways could hope to be successful which foiled to consider also the remaining factors in the great problem of conserving all our resources. Accordingly, I have asked the Waterways Commission to take account of the orderly development and conservation, not alone of the waters, but also of the soil, the forests, the mines, and all the other natural resources of our country. Rational Resources Being Abused. Many of these resources which we have been In the habit of calling inexhaustible are being rapidly exhausted, or In certain regions have actually disappeared. Coal mines, oil and gaa fields and iron mines In important numbers are already worked out The coal and oil measures which remain are passing rapidly. or have actually passed, tnto the possession of great cor porations, who acquire ominous power through an uncherked control of these prime necessities of modern life; a control with out supervision of any kind. We are con suming our forests three times faster than they are being reproduced. Some of the richest timber lands of this continent have already been destroyed, and not replaced, and other vast i areas are on the verge can h an hanUd a a to vleld the best I results of use, without exhaustion. Just like i grain fields. Our publle lands, whose nignest use is to supply nomes for our people, have been i and are still being taken In great quant i- ! ties by large private owners, . to whom j home-making Is at the very best but a j secondary motive subordinate to the de sire for profit. To allow the publlo lands to be worked by the tenants of rich men i for the profit of the landlords. Instead of , by freeholders for the livelihood of their j wives and children, la little less man a : crime against our people and our lnstitu- j tions. The great central fact of the public ! land situation, as the Public Lands Com mission well said. Is that the amount 'f j public land patented by the Government to j Individuals Is increasing out of all propor- ! tion to the number of new homes. It ia clear beyond peradventure that our natural resources have been ana are sun neing abused, that continued abuse will destroy them, and that we have at last reached the forks or the road. We are face to face with the great fact that the whole future of the Nation is directly at stake in the momentous decision which is forced upon us. Shall we continue the waste and destruction of our natural resources, or shall we conserve them ? There Is no other question of equal gravity now before the Nation. The Fundamental Problem. It la the plain duty of those of us who for the moment are responsible-to make In ventory of the natural resources wnicn have been handed down to us, to forecast aa well aa we may the needs of the future, and so to handle the great sources of our prosperity as not to destroy In advance all hope for the prosperity of our descend ants. As I have said elsewhere, the conserva tion of natural resources is the fundamental problem. Unless we- solve that problem It will avail us little to solve all others. To solve It, the whole Nation must undertake the task through their organizations and associations, through the men whom they have made specially responsible for the wel fare of the several states, and finally through Congress and the Executive. As a preliminary step, the Inland Waterways Commission has decided, with my full ap proval, to call a conference on the conser vation of natural resources, including, of course, the streams, to meet in Washington during the coming Winter. This conference ought to be among the most Important gatherings in our history, for none have had a more vital question to consider. There is a great National project already under way which renders the improvement of the Mississippi River and Its tributaries specially needful. I mean the Panama Canal. The digging of that canal will be of benefit to the whole country, but most of all to the states of the Pacific Slope and the Gulf; and if the Mississippi is properly - Improved, to the states through wfeich it Hows. The digging of the Panama Canal is the greatest engineering feat which has yet been attempted on thla globe. The work has been going on most successfully and with fewer drawbacks and difficulties than I had dared hope. Remember, gentlemen, that any work like this entails grave responsibilities. The one Intolerable position for a self-respecting na tion, as for a self-respecting man, is to bluff and then not be able to make good. We have accepted the Monroe doctrine as a cardinal feature of our foreign policy. We have undertaken not only to build but to police and to, guard the Panama Canal. This means, unless we are willing to ac cept the humiliation of beiAg treated some time by -some strong nation as a vain and weak braggart, that we must build and maintain our Navy at the highest point of efficiency. When the canal is finished our Navy can move from one ocean to the other at will; for. ?emember that our doom open on both ocoans. Until then our bat tle fleet, which should always be kept and maneuvered as a unit, ought now to ap pear in our home waters In one ocean and now to appear In our home waters In the other. And, oh my friends and fellow Americans, I most earnestly hope all our people will remember that In the funda mental questions most deeply affecting the life of the Nation thera can be no proper division on party lines. Matters of such grave moment should be dealt with along the lines of consistent and well thought-out policy, without regard to any change of administration or of party at Washington. Such questions as the upbuilding and main tenance of the United States Navy, the com pletion of the Panama Canal in accordance with the plans now being carried out, and the improvement of the Mississippi River, are not party questions. I am striving to accomplish what I can in such matters as these because the welfare of the Nation im periously demands the action that I am taking. Regulation of Railways. Before closing let me say a word upon the subject of the regulation of the rail ways by Congress under the Interstate com merce clause of the Constitution. Jn my Judgment the old. days of happy-go-lucky Indifference on the part of the public to the conduct of the corporations have passed. The American people has made up Its mind that the conditions of modern industrialism are such as imperatively to demand super vision in the Interest of the people aa a whole over these great corporations. Most emphatically we should do full Justice to them; but in return we should exact Justice rrom tnem to tne public. borne of them have become so habituated to disregarding everything but their own wishes and Inter ests that the effort to establish a proper supervision over them has aroused on their part a curiously unreasonable antagonism. In the matter of supervision of the great railway corooratlons we are acting- as all civilized governments have already' acted or are on the point of acting. The unre strlcted Issue of railway securities without any supervision, and under circumstances which often result In the gravest scandals. should not be permitted, and only by gov ernmental action can It be prevented. It Is already thus prevented In England and Germany, for instance. In England the first Royal Commission of Railways, of which that great parliamentary and popular lead er, William Ewart Gladstone, was chairman, set forth as fundamental the very princi ples which here have at last been enacted into law, or which, as I firmly believe, will speedily be enacted. Of course. In any movement like this in which we are now engaged, in any movement looking to the regulation of vast corporate wealth engaged In Interstate business, and to the cutting out of all abuses connected therewith, there will at timus be Buffering in which, unfor tunately, many Innocent people will be in volved. But such suffering of the Innocent Is unavoidable in every great movement of life. Able and unscrupulous men are sure to deceive certain Innocent outsiders and persuade them to invest In ventures under conditions wnicn renaer loss certain wnen the force of the law is asserted. I am ex ceedingly sorry for these innocent people; but It la not possible, because of them, to refuse to proceed against the men who have victimized them. It Is just such a case as would occur if an unscrupulous man with counterfeit money visited some remote village, spent his money and then disap peared. The local Innkeeper and livery stable keeper, the shopkeeper and the neigh boring farmer, would all have been vic timized ; they would have lodged and fed the man, have supplied him with goods from the store and the farm, have hired horses and wagons to him, and In return would find themselves loaded with counterfeit money. If. under such circumstances, the Government found out what had happened It would have no alternative save to stop the circulation of the counterfeit money, though tfios possessing It were innocent It would, of course, try to secure the con viction of the thief, but If be had escaped the jurisdiction of the law, it would nev ertheless be impossible to let his Innocent victims continue, to pass his by no means Innocent counterfeit money. Well, Just the same thing is true when It cornea to en forcing the law against business men of great wealth who have violated It. People are always beseeching me not to enforce it against them, because innocent outsiders may be hurt, or, only to enforce it with a gentleness that would prevent anybody, good or bad, from being hurt. It is not possible to comply with such requests, even when they are made In good faith- This Is a government of law, a law which ap plies to great and small alike. I am sorry Indeed when It happens that big men who do wrong have involved smaller men with no bad Intentions to such an extent that they suffer when we force the undoing of the wrong. But we cannot hold our hands for such -a consideration. The responsibility for the suffering of those innocent outsiders lies, not with us who put a atop to the wrong and punish the wrongdoers, but with these wrongdoers who mislead their vic tims. Citizenship Above Laws. Tn conclusion, friends, let me impress upon you one thing. Good laws can do much good; Indeed, they are often Indis pensable. There is urgent need that we should have nonest and efficient legislation and honest and efficient action by those whose province It Is to put the legislation Into effect. But here Is infinitely more need of a high Individual average of char acter." The only permanent way to help any man is to help him to helu himself.
