Stand by What I Said."
DROP ALL PARTY LINES
fn Considering National Topics, the
President Says Politics Should

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.
