THE MORXIXG OREGOIAN, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 2, 1907. DEAF TO PLEAS OF Roosevelt Gives Them Warning Law Enforcement Will Continue. ONLY WARS AGAINST WRONG Friend of Both Capital and Iabor When They Keep Within Law. Discusses Need of Land Law Reform. KEOKUK, la.. Oct. 1. Keokuk put on her Sunday dress to receive th President of the United States, when he arrived here at 9 o'clock to day and the people of the city were assisted in their reception of the Chief Magistrate by a notable gathering- of distinguished men, including' the Gov ernors of more than a dozen states, a number of both houses of Congress and the members of the Inland "Waterways Commission. The occasion of the President's com ing was the movement In the interest of a deep waterway down the Missis sippi River to the Gulf, and this city was selected as the point of embark ment on his voyage down the river, which will end at Memphis next FrN day. He was given & drive through the city and made a noteworthy speech at Rand Park to many thou sands of people. The reception to the President along the line of march and at the park was cordial in the ex treme. Insists 'AH Be Treated Alike. He embarked on the steamer Mis sissippi a few minutes before noon and Is scheduled to reach fit, Louis-at 9:45 A. M. tomorrow. He was accompanied hy Governor Frantz, of Oklahoma, and Seth Bullock, of Deadwood, S. D. As at Canton, the President did not deliver his speech here just as he had prepared and given It to the press. He did not omit any feature, but frequent ly turned from his manuscript to in terject extemporaneous remarks for the purpose of emphasizing and elaborat ing. Before beginning, he Insisted that the ropes he let down so as to admit enough people to All a number of vacant seats, and, when a man and a woman appeared carrying chlldrenhe directed that they be given chairs. Again, as on yesterday, his theme was similar treatment for rich and . poor, and again he found occasion to point his story with familiar colloquial lams. Stands by What He Said. 'You will remember that a year ago I expressed my opinion of certain un desirable citizen,' he said, "and I stand by what I said.' He added that he" would always con demn the man who Incites to murder and would demand punishment for that offense as he would for the crime of the corporation criminals; he would treat both aTlke, and just as he would treat other offenders. There was a considerable rainfall during the delivery of the speech, but the President did not allow it to in terfere In any way. After he had con cluded, he was presented with a gold headed cane by the negroea of Keou kuk. Cheered at Every Village. The President arrived here at 9:10 and was met at the station by the Governors of Iowa, Florida, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, both Dakotas, Oregon, Wyom ing and Illinois, and by three companies of state troops. From 6 o'clock this morning, when the President was awakened at the small Illinois town of Merldosia by the strains of a village band, he was sel dom out .of hearing of a cheer of some kind, for the country people, as well as the villagers, lined the roadway and all were in a cheering mood. He did not. however, respond to any of the many calls for & speech, and thus al lowed the forenoon run, which was made on schedule time, to proceed without noteworthy incident. The Presi dent spent the early morning reading, and when he stepped off the train he appeared In the highest spirits. The President said: Begun to Subdue Lawless Wealth. During ths last few years we of the Vnited States have been forced to (consider very seriously certain economic problems. We have made a beginning in the attempt to deal with the relations of the National Government that Is, with the relations of the people of the country to the huge and wealthy corporations, controlled lor the most part by a few very rich "men. which are engraved in Interstate business espe cially the great railway corporations. You know my views on this matter. You know that I believe that the National Government, in the Interests of the people, should as ' sume much the same supervision and con trol over the management of the Interstate common carriers that It now exercises over the National banks. You know furthermore that I believe that this supervision and con trol should be exercised In a spirit of rigid fairness toward the corporations, exacting justice from them on behalf of the people but giving them justice in return. One of the most striking features of the years which saw the downfall of the Roman Republic was the fact that the political life of Rome became spilt between two camps, one containing the rich who wished to ex ploit the poor, and the other the poor who wished to plunder the rich. I believe so im plicitly in the future of our people, because I believe that the average American cltl sen will no more tolerate government by a mob than he will tolerate government bv a plutocracy; that he desires to see justice done to and justice exacted from rich man and poor man alike. We are not trying to favor any man at tha expense of his fellows. Put we do wish to see that the necessary struggle In life shall be carried on under genuinely democratic conditions; that there shall bs no oppression of the weak, and that no man shall be permitted to acquire or to use a vast fortune by methods .or In ways that ar tortuous and dishonest. Therefore we need wise laws, and ' we need to have them resolutely administered. We can get such laws and such administra tion only if the people are alive to their In terests. Every man must have a master: if she la not hie own master, then somebody else will be. This Is just as true of public life as of private life. If we cannot master our selves, control ourselves, then sooner or later we shall have to submit to outside con trol; for there must be control somewhere. Deaf to Pleas of Lawbreakers. One way of exercising control Is through the laws of the land. At Intervals during the last few months the appeal has been made to me not to enforce the law against cer tain wrongdoers of great wealth because to do so would Interfere with the business prosperity of the country. Under the ef fects of that kind of fright which when sufficiently acute we call panic, this appeavl has ben made to me even by men who or dinarily behave as decent citieens. One newspaper which has Itself strongly ad vanced this view gave prominence to the statement of a certain man of jrreat wealth to the effect that the so-called financial weakness "was due entirely to the admitted Intention of president Kooseelt to punish the lame moneyed Interests which had transgressed the laws." I do not admit that thin has been the main cause of any business troubles we have had ; but it Is possible that it h been a contributory cause, if so, friends, as far as t am concerned It muot be accepted as a disagreeable but unavoid LAWBREAKERS able feature in a course of policy which as long as I am President will not be changed. In any great movement for righteousness, where the forces of evil are strongly In trenched, it is unfortunately inevitable that some unoffending people should suffer in company with the real offenders. This is not our fault. It is the fault of those to whose deceptive action these Innocent peo ple owe their false position. Fight Wrong Wherever Found. A year or twe ago certain representatives of labor called upon me and In the course of a very pleasant conversation told m that they regarded me as 'the friend of labor." I answered that I certainly was, and that I would do everything in my power for the laboring men except anything that was wrong. I have the same answer to make to the business man. I will do everything I can do to help business conditions, except any thing that Is wronpr. And it would be not merely wrong but infamous to fail to do all that can be done to secure the punishment of those wrongdoers whose deeds are peculiarly reprehensible because they are not commit ted under the stress of want. Whenever a : serious effort is made to cut out what la ! evil In our political life, whether the effort takes the shape of warring against the gross and sordid forms of evil In some municipal ity, or whether It takes the shape of trying to secure the honest enforcement of the law as against very powerful and wealthy peo ple, there are sure to be certain Individuals who demand that the movement stop be cause It may hurt business. In each case the answer must be that we earnestly hope and believe that there will be no permanent damage to business from the move merit, but that if righteousness conflicts with the fancied needs of busi ness, then the latter must go to the wall. We cannot afford to substitute any other test for that of guilt or Innocence, of wrong doing or welldoing. In judging any man. If any man does well, if he acts honestly, he has nothing to fear from this adminis tration. But so far as in me lies, the corrupt politician, great or small, the pri vate citizen who transgresses the law be he rich or poor shall be brought before the Impartial justice of a oourt. Perhaps I am most anxious to get at the politician who la corrupt, because he betrays a great trust; but assuredly I shall not spare his brother corruptlonlst who shows himself a swindler In business life; and, according to our pow er, crimes of fraud and cunning shall be prosecuted as.relentlessly as crimes of bru tality and physical violence. Strongest Are Gentlest. We need good laws and we need above all things the hearty aid of good citizens In supporting and enforcing; the laws. W e cannot as a nation and we cannot as Individuals afford to cultivate only the gentler, softer qualities. There must be gentleness and tenderness the strongest men are gentle and tender but there must also be courage and strength. You men must be workers who work with all your heart and strength and mind at your sev eral tasks In life; and you must also be able to flght at need. You women have even higher and more difficult duties: for I- honor no man. not even the soldier who fights for righteous ness, quite as much as I honor the good woman who does her full duty as wife and mother. But If she shirks her duty as wife and mother then she stands on a par with the man who refuses to work for himself and hi family, for those dependent upon him. and who In time of the Nation's need refuses to flght. The man or woman who shirks his or her duty occupies a contempt ible position. Make Highways of Rivers. Since I have been President t have traveled In every state of this Union, but my traveling has been almost entirely on rarlroads, save now and then by wagon or on horseback. Now I have the chance to try traveling by river; to go down the greatest of our rivers, the Father of Waters. I am a great believer in our railway sys tem; and the fact that I am very firm In my belief as to the necessity of the Gov ernment exercising a proper supervision and control over the railroads does not in the least Interfere with the other fact that I greatly admire the large majority of the men in all positions, from the top to the bottom, who build and run them. Yet, while of course I am anxious to see these men, and, therefore, the corporations they represent or serve, achieve the fullest measure of legitimate prosperity, neverthe less as this country grows I feel that we cannot have too many highroads, and that In addition to the Iron highroads of our railway system we should also utilize the great river hlghwajrs which have been giv en us by nature. From a variety of causes these highways have in many parts of the country been almost abandoned. This Is not healthy. Our people, and especially the representatives of the people In the Na tional Congress, should give their most careful attention to this subject. We should be prepared to put the Nation col lectively back of the movement to Improve them for the Nation's use. Exactly as It Is for the interest of all the country that our great harbors should be fitted to receive in safety the largest vessels of the mer chant fleets of the world, so by deepening and- otherwise our .rivers should be fitted to bear their part In the movement of our merchandise. Farmers as Homemakers. I hope that the means of transporting J your commodities to maraet wm oe sieau ily improved; but this will be of no us unless you kee producing the commodities, and in the long run this will largely depend upon your being able to keep on the farm a high type of citizenship. The effort must be to make farm life not only remun erative but attractive, so that the best young men and girls will feel Inclined to stay on the farm and not to go to the city. Nothlnjr a more important to this country than the perpetuation of our system of medium-sized farms worked by their own ers. Now, from the 'standpoint of the Nation as a whole It Is preeminently desirable to keep as one of our chief American types the farmer, the farm home-maker, of the medium-sized farm. This type of farm home is one of our strongest political and social bulwarks. It is a matter of prime economic and civic importance to encour age this type of home-owning farmer. Therefore, we should strive In every way to aid In the education of the farmer for the farm, and should shape our school sys tem with this end in view; mnd so vitally important is this that. In my opinion, the Federal Government should co-operate wlh the state governments to secure the needed change and Improvement In our schools. But the colleges cannot reach the masses, and It is essential that the masses should be reached. At present there is a gap be tween our primary schools in country and city and the industrial collegiate curves, which must be closed, and if necessary the Nation must help the state to close it. Too often our present schools tend to put alto rnihor trr prmt a nmmium upon mere lit erary education, and therefore to train n un v frnm t h farm and the shop. We should reverse this process. Specific training of a practical kind should be given tn tha hnv nnd elrls who when men and women are to make up the backbone of this Nation by- working in agriculture, in t Ho niAPhanifAl industries. In arts and trades; in short, who are .to do the duty that should always come first with all of us. the duty of home-maKing ana nome keeping Improve Management of Range. Now, I want to say just a word on a matter that concerns not the states of the Mississippi Valley itself, but the states, west of them, the state of the Great Plains and thA Rni-kv Mountains. In those states there Is need of a modification of the land laws that have worked so well In the well-watered fertile regions to the eastward.- The nn nhlfct in all our land laws should al wavs be to favor the actual settler, the actual home-maker. The Government should part with its title to the land only to the actual home-maker not to the profit-maker, who does not care to make a home. The land should ne soia ouingnt oniy m quantities sufficient for decent home not In huge areas to be held for speculative purposes or used as ranches, where those who do the actual work are merely ten ants or hired hands. Now, in many states where the rainfall Is light it is a simple absurdity to expect any man to live, still less to bring ud a family, on 100 acres. Where we are able to Introduce irrigation, the homestead can be very much less in slxe can. for instance, be 40 acres; and there s nothing that Congress has dene during the past six years more important than the enactment of the National Irrigation law. Lease In Large Tracts. But where Irrigation Is not applicable and the land can only be used for grazing, it mav be that you cannot run more than one steer to 10 acres, and H Is not necessary to be much of a mathematician In order to see that where such is the case a home stead of 160 acres will not go far toward the support of a family. In consequence of this fact, homesteaders do not take up the lands in the tracts in question. They are left open for anybody to graze upon that wishes to. The result Is that the men who use them moderately and not with a view to exhausting their resources are at the mercv of thoe who care nothing for the future and simply intend to skin the land In the present. Of course, to permit sucU a state of things Is not only evil for the small man, but It destructive of the best Interests of the country. Substantially the same conditions obtain as regards cattle. The custom has therefore grown up of fencing great tracts of Government land without warrant of law. The men who fenced this land were sometimes rich men. who, fenrlng It, kept out actual settler and thereby worked evil to the country. But In many cases, whether they were large mo or small men. their object was not to keep out actual settlers, but to protect themselves and their own industry by pre venting overgrazing of the range on the Dart of reckless atotowners who had no place in the permanent development of the country and jtho were Indifferent to every thing except the profits of the moment. To permit the continuance of this illegal fencing inevitably tended to very grave abuses, and the Government has therefore forced the fencers to take down theli fences. In doing this we have not only obeyed and enforced the law. but we havo corrected many flagrant abuses. Neverthe less, we have also caused hardship, which.- t hough unavoidable. I was exceedingly un willing; to cause. Help the Small Rancher. In some -way or other we must provide for the nse of the public range under, con ditions which shall inure primarily to- the benefit of the actual settlers on or near It. and which shall prevent its being wasted. This means that in some shape or way the fencing of pasture land must be permitted under restrictions which will safeguard the rights of the actual set tie rr. 1 desire to act as these actual settlers wish to have me in this matter. I wish to And out their needs and desires and then to try to put them into effect. But they must taice troume, must look ahead to their own ultimate and real good, must Insist upon being really represented by their public men. If we are to have a good result. A little while ago I received a very manly ana sensiDie letter from one of the prominent members of the Laramie County, Wyoming. - Cattle and Horse Growers' Association. My correspond ent remarked Incidentally in his letter. "I am a small ranchman, and have to plow and pitch hay myself." and then went on to say that the great majority of their people had complied with the govern mental order., had removed their fences and sold their cattle, but that they must get some kind of a lease law which would permit them to graze their stock under proper conditions or else It would be ruin ous to them to continue lp. the business. The thins; I have most at heart as re gards this subject la to do whatever will be of permanent benefit to jusaexactly the people for whom this correspondent of mine spoke the small ranchmen who have to plow and pitch hay themselves. Seeks No Revenue From Range. All I want to do Is to find out what will be to their real benefit, for that Is certain to be to the benefit of tha country as a whole. It may be that we can secure their interests best by permitting all homestead ers in the dry country to Inclose, individual ly or a certain number of them together, big tracts of range for Summer use, the tracts being proportioned to the number of neighboring homesteaders who wish to run their cattle upon it. It may be that parts of the range will only be valuable for companies that can lease it and put large herds on it; for the way pre perl y to develop it is best adapted. The amount to be paid for the leasina orl vile tee is to me a matter of comparative Indifference. The Govern ment does not wish to make money out of the range, but simply to provide, for the necessary supervision that will prevent its being eaten out or exhausted; that Is, that will secure It undamaged as an asset for the next generation, for the -children of the present home-makers. Of course we must also provide enough to pay for the proper share of the county taxes. I am not wedded to any one plan, and I am willing to combine several plans If necessary. Bui the present system is wrong, and I hope tq see, tn all the states of the Great Plains and the Rockies, the men like my corres pondent of the Larlmie County Cattle and. Horse Growers' Association, the small ranchmen "who plow and pitch hay them selves," seriously take up this matter and make their representative in Congress un derstand that there must be some solution, and this solution shall be one which will secure the greatest permanent well-being to the aotual settlers, the actual home makers. I promise with all the strength I have to co-operate toward this end. Starts Down Great River. Following the address which was heard by 20,000 people! the President was driven to the lower lock of the Government ca nal and boarded the steamer Mississippi for the trip South. He reviewed the dis play of 100 pleasure launches in the river and departed, leading the flotilla of 20 big steamboats and the launches. The Governors left at x.oon by a special train for St. Louis. Ten - special excur sion trains brought in great crowds just before the President arrived, and the city was full of strangers. The Inland Waterways Commission ar rived last night on the steamer MacKen zie, joining the President here. The Presi dent boarded the boat at 11 o'clock and left shortly before noon amid the greatest assemblage of boats ever seen on the Upper Mississippi River. Secretary Loeb left the party here and will proceed west from this point to Wyoming, whither he goes for a month's hunt. E 91,500,000 IS ItEFT TO CHICAGO HOSPITAL NURSE.
