SPOKANE, Wash. Aug. 10. Sounding the first note in the open warfare with Balllnger, upholding the Roosevelt policy, denouncing the administration of law by technical ities and excoriating the gigantic waterpower trust, Chief Forester Glfford pinchot today set the Na tional Irrigation Congress agog with excitement, bringing the delegates to their feet time and time again to cheer him. The war between Pinchot and Balllnger, which has been brew ing for some time, attracting an un dercurrent of attention among the delegates Is now open. Every dele gate is ready for the fray, taking one side or the other on a question, which promises to result In the hottest ses sion in the history of the Congress. Everyone is awaiting with keenest interest Ballinger's appearance here tomorrow afternoon. The delegations from California. South Carolina, Washington . and Texas have already passed resolutions ,,j;raiErng Pinchot and Newell. They f jKre eloquently silent of any mention that Arthur Briggs, of the California State Board of Trade, and Frank Short, a Fres.no attorney of record for the Huntington Power Co., part of the trust, last night attempted to keep ex-Governor Pardee, of Califor nia, a friend of Pinchot, from the resolutions committee. When Par dee's name was presented for Cali fornia,' as a member of the resolu tions committee, Briggs objected, sav ing that Pardee had enough honor in hPilng selected as temporary chairman VJ-the committee. Afterwards it was learned that President Bnrstow's an polntment of Pardee holds good Tor the entire session. The California delegation elected Short, who was in structed to present the resolution praising Pinchot and Newell in the highest terms. Lauds Roosevelt and Tuft. In his speech before the Congress. Pinchot said in part: fifr "The man who really counts is the VT'laln American citizen. This is the man for whom the Roosevelt policies were created, and his welfare Is the end ito which the Roosevelt policies lead. As a Nation we are fortunate at this time in this fact above all others, that the great man who gave his name to these policies has for his successor another great President whose administration is most solemn ly pledged to the support of them. "I stand for the Roosevelt policies because they set the common good of all of us above the private gain of some of us; because they recognize the livelihood of the small man as more Important to the Nation than the profit to the big man: because they oppose all useless waste at pres ent at the cost of TObbing the future; because they demand the complete. sane, and orderly development of all our natural resources, not forgetting our rivers: because they insist uiion equality of opportunity and denounce monopoly and special privilege; he .cauBe. discarding false Issues, thev deal directly with the vital questions that really make a difference with the welfare of us all and most of all. " because In them the plain American always and everywhere holds the fi-st place. And I propose to stand for them while T have the strength to stand for nnythlng. Fqnnilty for All. "The first thing we need In this country, as President Roosevelt so well set forth In that great message 9 which told what he had been trying to do for the American people, is equalltv of opportunity for every citi zen.

Our Institutions and our laws are not valuable in themselves. They are riuiuuiHB oniy Decause thev secure elu,llltJ;of opportunity for happiness pXTZ, I fi' o0; ,te t lie good and to be interpreted for the .public good. One of the great ren- 'sons why President Roosevelt's ad ministration was of such enormous value to the plain American was that he understood what St. Paul meant when he said: "The letter kllleth, but the spirit glveth life." To fol 'ow blindly the letter of the law, or he ronn of an institution- without intelligent regard both for its spirit itnd for the public welfare, is very nearly as dnngerftus as to disregard he law altogether. What we need is Hie use of the law for the public sood, and the construction of It for the public welfare. Homo Owner Rest Soldier. "The most valuable citizen of this or any other country Is the man who owns the land from which he makes his living. No other man has such a stake in the country. No other nan lends such steadiness and sta bility to our National life. There fore, no other question concerns us nore Intimately than the question of homes. Permanent homes for our selves, our children, and our Nation this Is the central problem. The lolicy of our National irrigation is of "alue to the United States in very nany ways, but the greatest of all Is his, that National irrigation multl 'lles the men who own the land from J'hlch they make their living. The )ld saying, "Who ever heard of a nan shouldering his gun to fight for lis boarding house," reflects this rreat truth, that no man is so ready 'o defend his country, not only with arms, but with his vote, and his con tribution to public opinion as the man vith a permanent stake In it, as the nan who owns the land from which he makes a living. "The Nation that will lead the vorld will be a Nation of homes. The bjeot of the great Conservation Movement la just this, to mnke our ountry a permanent and prosperous 'tome for ourselves and for our chil dren, and for our children's children, nnd it is a task that is worth the 'iest thought and effort o any and all 'f us. .

Legal technicalities sel lom help tho people. The people, lot the law, should have the benefit if every doubt. ... "Equality of opportunity, a square leal for every man, the protection of 'he citizen against the great concen trations of capital, the Intelligent use if laws and Institutions for the pub ic good, and the conservation of our 'aturwl resources, not for the trusts, hut for the people; these are real is sues and real problems. Upon such hlngs as these the perpetuity of this "ountry as a Nation of homes really depends. Trusts Must lie Crushed. "We are coming to see that the nlaln American citizen Is the man to vork for. The imagination Is stag ;ered by the magnitude of the prize for which we work. If we succeed, there will exist upon this continent a sane, strong people, living through he centuries in a land subdued and 'controlled for the service of the nennie Its rightful masters, owned hv the mnnv and not hv the few.

They tell us that there Is no community of inter est among them, and yet they appear ear alter year at these Congresses by their paid attorneys, asking your nnuence to help them remove the few remaining obstacles to their per petual ana complete absorption of the remaining water powers. They tell us it has no significance that the eneral Electric Interests are acquir- ng great groups of water powers In arious part of the United States, nd dominating the power nmrkot in lie region of each group. And who- nver dominates power, dominates all ndustry. Have you ever seen a few rops of oil scattered on the water preadlng until they formed a con- nuous film, which put an end to all agitation of the surface. The time for us to agitiate this question is now, before the separate circles of eentral- 7pd control spread into the uniform, nbroken, Nation-wide covering of a ng!o gigantic trust. There will be ttle rhonce for mere agitation after that. No man at all familiar with he situation can doubt that the time for effective protest Is very short. If e do not use it to protect ourselves ow, we may be very sure that the rust will give hereafter small consld- ntion to the welfare of the average itizcii when in conflict with its own."

One of the. most peculiar cases tnnt naB ever come before local nttyslctans is tnat of M. D. Wisdom, editor of the Rural Snlrlt. and secretary of the Salem Portland and Oregon A-i-r lair com missions, who has been 111 for some Ime past. He Is now well on ine road to recovery after an Illness which several times threatened to end his life. Mr. WlBdom was afflicted witn en largement of the heart and Kidneys some time ago and several doctorB who examined him In Seattle des paired of ever saving his life. . under careful nursing, however, It Is now thought that he will recover nis health. The enlargement of the heart has entirely disappeared and that or gan Is Its normal size again. Spe cialists who examined him are amaz ed at his recovery, as It Is but seldom that a sufferer from enlargement oi the heart ever recovers. while Mr. Wisdom will recover nis health in all probability he will never be able to take up the work in wnicn he had for so many years engaged. He Is already laying pians to sen nn home and buy a small ranch in the country and retire permanentlv from all business. The doctors expect him to live manv years should ne not tie troubled with any of the worries which formerly attached to his work. The task of managing tne state fntr at Salem, the racing meet and stock show here, being secretary of the Oregon A-Y-P commission ana ot editing the Rural Sulrit magazine proved too much ror tne man ana ne was forced finally to quit only when illness overtook him. He has become reconciled now to the fact that he must quit working so hard and has decided to go out in the country and raise chickens. Chnmlx-rlnin's Colic.
