"RULES MUST BE CHANGED" Crratrel Crowd of Present Tour Greets Colonel at lair Grounds Between Twin Cities and Cheers Vigorously. ST. FAl'U Sept. . The doctrine of "New Nationalism." which ex-Preeident F.oosevelt enunciated In his speech t Osawatomle. Kan. last wrek. was set forth sllll more clearly by him In his ncech today tefore the National Con .rvatlrn fons-rcss. He declared em phatically for Government control of the country' natural resources. "If It had not been for corporal Inter est, especially those which mar " riesi-rlhesl asj rreltory. e would never hare heard of thla question of Mates' rishta." be declared. And. later, he aald: ft ta not really a question of state acalnst Nation. It la really a question of special corporate Interests acalust the people."- He raid the corporation were anxious to ha the states take up the ancle that they might escape all effec tive control. Idea Is Reiterated. Throughout hl speech Colonel Roose velt emphastxed the need of Rivlnc over to the National Government the task of niro'itic on. in the main, the work for conservation. The outbursts of applause that greeted Colonel Roosevelt as he delivered Ms pee :i tn the auditorium were as long and loud a tnr he lias heard during hia Western trip- Kvery where he wer.t about tie Twin Cities, masaea of people lined the strreta to see and cheer him. School ehltdren. with hundreda of flags, saluted tm. banns were played and banners wera everywhere. Kven the dome of the fiiate Capitol was wreathed In flag, and when Colonel Roosevelt arrived at the capltol the Presidential salute of 21 guna was given. Colonel l;eveli arrived In Minneapo lis at I A. M. After breakfast he came by automobile to JM. I'aul. made his prh at the Conservation I'ongress and then went to the Plate Fair grounds, between thla city and Minneapolis. At tn Parr Grotinda he addressed the larg est crowd of the day. He left tonight for Milwaukee, where he Is to spend tomorrow. Injustice- I I.IUcly. Speaking of the Federal control of cor porations, he said: -In addition to the fact that the Fed eral Government Is better able to exact Justice from the corporations. I also be lieve that It la less apt In some gust of popular passion to do Injustice to them." -I should like to see the people, through the National Government, give full Jus tice to the corporations." he said, else where: "but I in not want the National Government to depen.l only on the good will ef the corporations to get Justice for the people-" In regard to the control of water wavs by railroads. Colonel Roosevelt said: "You people must not sit supinely and let the railroads gain control of the boat lines, and then say that the men at the head of the railways are very had people. In other words, when you of your own will, permit the rules of the game to he such that you are absolutely certain to get the worst of It at the hands of someone else, do not blame the other man. "Change the rules of the game." Remark IHrtx-tcd at .Mr. Hill. hen Colonel Roosevelt came to speak of the National Conservation Commission, he made what was Inter preted here as a sharp thrust at Repre sentative James A. Tawney. James J. Hill sat on the platform close to Colonel Roosevelt and on one occaslon.when the Colonel was speaking of Federal control of corporations, he turned directly toward the railroad builder and addressed him. From the Auditorium Colonel Roose velt went to luncheon with the Roose velt reception committee. The mem bers of the Roosevelt Club, which es corted the Colonel to the Auditorium, were not Included In the list of guests. They marches! with their band to the hotel In which the Colonel was being entertained and had a luncheon of their awn on the roof of the same building. Colonel Talk From Roof. Colonel Roosevelt went up to the tnof for a few minutes after he had fin ished luncheon, and was welcomed with a shout by members of the Roosevelt Club. He took Glfford Plnchot. of New York. ex-Chief Forester, and James H. tajirfleitl. of Cleveland. ex-Secretary of the Interior, with him. Colonel Roosevelt said a few words to the club, and then Mr. Plnchot was railed on for a speech. He talked of "progressive" doctrines. When Colonel Roosevelt reached the Plate Fair Grounds he found what he said was the largest crowd he had aeen on his Western trip. As he appeared 'on the platform the people who first caught sight of him began to cheer. The cheer was caught up by others and In an Instant the vast throng of people were on their feet, waving hats, throw ing cushions Into the air and other ar ticles. There was no speech-making at the dinner tonight. Colonel RooseveJt left fer the train as soon as the dinner was over. PERSONALMENTION. George S. Mill, of Vale, Is at the Oregon. J. N.

STATE CONTROL OPPOSED Cities Are Told They Most Provide Waterway Terminal and Keep Them Open, as Check on Railway Aggression. ST. PACL, Sept. 6. Theodore Roose velt declared himself here today. In a speech before the National Conservation Congress, as opposed to state control of lh. natural rAOAtllTH Of the COUntry. Thu special interests." he said, favored state control of water powers because they be lieved it to be the least effective. They sought to cloud the Issue by raising the question or state aa againsi rmtiu Jurisdiction. "There is no hope for the plain peo niA hA .ii iA "in Htich conflicts of juris diction. The ossfntial question is not one of hair-splitting legal tecnnicaiues ft lm iinmlv thie! Who can best reiu- late the special Interests for the public good. 1-Vdcral Power Stronger. "Most of the predatory corporations re interstate or have interstate affilia tions. Therefore they are largely out of reach of effective state control, and fall of necessity within the Federal Jurlsdic tlon. 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 ad vocate at this time state control simply because they believe It to be the least effective. In the great ftght or me peo ple to drive the special Interests from the dominion of our Government, me Is stronger and its jurisdetion Is more effective than that of sny atate. The most effective weapon against hese greet corporations, most of which are financed and owned on me Aiwmic Coast, will be Federal laws and the Fed eral executive. "That Is why I so strongly oppose the demand to turn these matters over to the states. It la fundamentally a demand ncalnst the Interest of the plain people. of the people of email means, against the Interest of our children and our children-s children: and It Is primarily In the Interest of the great corporations which desire to escape all Government eontroU." Past Can Re Excelled. Colonel Roosevelt said that there was reason to be proud of the achievements made by Americans, but no reason to believe that the past could not be ex celled. The corporations had helped to develop resources, by using the lights of individuals. In addition to the com bined power of high organisation and enormous wealth. This development of corporate ac tion." he added. "It is true, is doubtless In large part responsible for the gigan tic development of our natural resources, but It Is not less responsible for waste, destruction end monopoly on an equally gigantic scale. "One of the greatest of our conserva tion problems is the wise and prompt development and use of the waterways of this Nation. In nearly every river city from St. Paul to the Gulf the waterfront Is controlled by the' rail ways. Nearly every artificial water way In the United States, either di rectly or Indirectly. Is under the same control. It goes without saying that (unless the people prevent It in ad vance) the railways will attempt to take control of our waterways as fast as they are Improved and completed; nor would I blame them if wo, the people, are supine In the matter. We must see to it that adequate terminals are provided in fvery city and town, on every Improved waterway, ter minals open under reasonable condi tions to the use of every citizen, and rigidly protected against monopoly; and we as ust compel the railways to co operate with the waterways continu ously, effectively and under reasonable conditions. Unless we do so the rail way lines will refuse to deliver freight to the boat lines, either openly or by Imposing prohibitory conditions, and the waterways once Improved will do comparatively little for the benefit of the people who pay the bill. Fires Teach Lesson. "lf any proof were needed that forest protection is a National duty, the re cent destruction of forests In the West by fire would supply it. Even with the aid of the Army added to that of the Forest Service the loss has been severe. Without either It would have been vastly greater. The National forests protect the water supply of a thousand cities and towns, about 800 irrigation projects and more than 300 power projects, not counting the use of water for these and other purposes by Individual set tlers. I think that hereafter we may safely- disregard any statements that the National forests are withdrawn from settlement and use" "As a people we have not yet learned to economize. One of the virtues we Americans most need Is thrift. It la a mere truism to say that luxury and extravnsanee are not good for a na tion. 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 caused by both extravagance and luxury put together. I mean the needless, useless and excessive loss to our people from premature death and avoidable dis eases. Wholly apart from the grief, the suffering and the wretchedness which they cause, the material loss each year has been calculated at nearly twice what It costs to run the Federal Government. There Is urgently needed a Federal Bureau of Health, to act. so far as the National Goverhment prop erly may. to relieve our people from this dreadful burden. Commission Idea Nullified. . "One of the most important meetings In our recent history was that of the Governors In the White House In May. 10S. to consider the conservation ques tion. By the advice of the Governors the meeting was followed by the ap pointment of a National Conservation Commission. The meeting of the Gov ernors directed the attention of the country to conservation aa nothing else could have done, while the work of the Commission gave the movement def lnltenesa and .supplied It with a prac tical programme. But at the moment when the Commission was ready to be gin the campaign for putting Its pro gramme Into effect, an amendment to the Sundry Civil Service bill was in troduced by a Congressman from Min nesota with the purpose of putting a stop to the work so admirably begun. Congress passed the amendment. Its object was to put an end to the work of a number of commissions, which had been appointed by the President, and J hose contribution to the public wel fare had been simply Incalculable. Among these were the Commission for reorganizing the business methods of the Government, the Public Lands Com mission, the Country Life Commission and the National Conservation Com mission itself. When I signed the Sun dry Civil Service Bill containing this amendment. I transmitted with it as my last official act a memorandum de claring that the amendment was void, because It was an unconstitutional In terference with the rights of the Ex ecutive, and that if I were to remain President I would pay to it no atten tion whatever. "The National Conservation Commis sion thereupon became dormant. The suspension of Its work came at a most unfortunate time, and there was seri ous danger that the progress already made would be lost. At this critical moment the National Conservation As sociation was organized. It took up the work which otherwise would not have been done, and It exercised a most use ful influence In preventing bad legisla tion. In securing the Introduction ef better conservation measures at the past session of Congress and In pro moting the passage of wise laws. Home Problems Important. "But while we of the United States are anxious, as I believe we are able, to be of assistance to others, there are problems of our own which we must not overlook. One of the most Impor tant conservation questions of the mo ment relates to the control of water power, monopoly In the public Interest. "One of the difficulties In putting into practice the conservation idea is that the field to which it applies is constant ly growing in the public mind. It has been no slight task to bring before 9to. 000.000 people a great conception like that of conservation, and convince them that it Is right. This much we have ac complished. But there remains much to be cleared up. and many misunderstand ings to be removed. These misunder standings are due In part at least to direct misrepresentation by the men to whose interest It Is that conservation should not prosper. -"Abuses committed in the name of a just cause are familiar to all of us. Many unwise things are done and many unwise measures are advocated in the name of conservation, either through Ignorance, or by those whose Interest lies not In promoting the movement, but In retarding it. Fight Not Yet Won. "In spite of these difficulties, most of which are doubtless inevitable in any movement of this kind, conservation has made marvelous progress. I have been astounded and delighted on my return from abroad at the progress made while I was away. We have a right to con gratulate ourselves on. this marvelous progress: but there is no reason for believing tnat the fight Is won. In the beginning the special Interests, who are our chief opponents In the conservation fight, paid little heed to the movement, because they neither 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 getting sharper. The nearer we ap proach to victory, the bitterer the op position that we must meet, and the greater the need for caution and watch fulness. Open opposition we can over come, but I warn you especially against the men who come to Con gresses such as this, ostensibly as dis interested citizens, but -actually as the paid agents of the special Interests. I heartily approve the attitude of any corporation. Interested In the delibera tions of a meeting such as this, which comes hither to advocate, by ita openly accredited agents, views which It be lieves the meeting should have in mind. But I condemn with equal readiness the appearance of a corporate agent before any convention who does not declare himself frankly as such. "This congress Is a direct appeal to the patriotism of our whole people. The Nation wisely looks to such gatherings for counsel and leadership. Let that leadership be sound, definite, practical, and on the side of all the peopie. It would be no small misfortune if a meet ing such as this should ever fall into the hands of the open enemlea or false friends of the great movement which it represents. Equal Opportunity Kssentlal. "What this country needs is what every free country must set before it as the great goal toward which it works an equal opportunity for life. liberty and the pursuit of happiness for every one of Its citizens. To achieve this end we must put a stop to the Improper political dominion, no less -than to the Improper economic dominion, of the great special Interests. This country, its natural re sources. Its natural advantages, its op portunities, and Its institutions, belong to all its citizens. They cannot be en Joyed fully and freely under any govern ment In which tne special lniercan such have a voice. The supreme politl csl task of our day, the Indispensable condition of National efficiency and Na tional welfare, is to drive the special in terests out of our. public life."

He went yesterday to Lin coln county, where lie will make an address today at the Toledo fair. Democrats generally In the Interior are reported as resenting the endeavors of Bourne to Influence the Democratic nomination. Mr. Myers has placed him self on record as opposed to a "one-man ticket" such as have been frequent in the Democratic history of the past.
