When Colonel Roosevelt reached that part of his speech in which lie advocated a worklngnian's eompensntion act, he turned to Judge Amidon and said: "I cannot help saying Just ono word as to how I have becri delighted this nfter noon to hear utterances from a Federal Judgo who looks ahead, from a Federal Judge who not only stands for honesty and righteousness In the conventional forms In which Judges have been ac customed to see them for generations, but who stands facing the changing condi tions and realising that the Constitution of the United Slates must be adminis tered, if It Is to be administered wisely. by men who know the needs of the wage. earners. Just as they sympathize with and understand the needs of all other American cltls.ns." Roosevelt day brought thousands of persons Into Fargo In spite of the rain. When Colonel Roosevelt reached the park he found waiting for him throng which filled the platform and crowded the rising ground on every side. Behind him there fluttered an old tattered flag under which he had delivered an oration on the Fourth of July 30 years ago at Mt'ilora. X. P. When It began to rain the Colonel looked out over the crowd at the Sum mer hats and dresses which were being; soaked and left the stand. He went out among the crowd and told the women to go up there under cover. When he had filled the stand with omen he sauntered through the crowd, heedless of the rain, shaking hands and talking with the people. After the shower the exercises of the day were resumed. Only a small part of the crowd was driven away by the rain. Women with bedraggled hats and dripping dresses sat out the after noon. In his speech the Colonel made It clear thnt he did not wish to give blanket Indorsement to everything done by labor unions, although he said he believed them to be a necessity and thoroughly approved of them. Colonel Roosevelt outlined his ideas of what should be done to improve the condition of workmen. Scope of Wnse-llarncrs Sliown. Mr. Roosevelt said In part: "Our basic problem Is to see that the inarvelnusly augmented powers of production be queathed to us by the 19th century shall in the th be made to administer to the needs of the many rather than be eg. plotted for tho profit of the few. The wage-earners must act Jointly, through the process of collective bargain ing. In great Industrial enterprises. Only thu can they be put upon a plane of economic equality with tlicir corporate emplovem. only thus Is freedom of con tract made a real thing and not a mere legal fiction. There are occasional occu pations where It Is not necessary; but. speaking broadly. It is necessary through out the great world of organised Industry. believe this practice of collective bar gaining, effective only through such or ganisations as the trade unions to have been one of the most potent forces In the past century in promoting the progress of the wage-earners, and In securing larger social ' progress for humanity, wherever there is organised capital on a consider able scale. I believe In the principle of organised labor and in tlie practice of collective bargaining, not merely as a de sirable thing for the wage-earnens, but as something which has ben demonstrat ed to be essential In the long run to their permanent progress. Organizations Are Defended. the creature who only denounces dishon esty when U Is found in soma special social stratum. "There are still in the United States great masses of skilled and unorganised labor, whose conditions of work and liv ing are harsh and pitiable. "This opens a vitally Important field of legislation to the National Government and to the state alike. It is humiliating to think how far ue of this country are behind most of tho other countries in such matters. Practically all civilized countries have, for more than a decade, prohibited by the strietent regulations the poisonous match industry; yet we had not done anything at all until very re cently to protect the laborers against this horrible danger. Planks Are Indorsed. "Among the planks In the platform of the American Federation of I.abor there are some to which I very strongly sub scribe. They are: 1. Free schools, free textbooks, and com pulsory education. 2. A work-day of not more than eight hours. X Release from employment ont day la seven. 4.

At the laying of the cornerstone of Fargo College, cx-Prtsldent Roosevelt spoke at some length on educational and economic questions and on the events of hls own life. I never would have been President If It had not been for my experience In North Dakotn." he said, referring to the remarks of President Creager. "I do not care a rap for holding an office. What I care for Is whnt the man does while he Is in office. VT hen I met in this city some of thoe who were with me on the Dnkoia ranch. thev re marked they did' not object to working m-4th m.

There are many of my fellow citizens of New Tork who ever since that time have had most ardent desires to elect me to some office that would take me good distance from New York. There were moments during my career as Police Commissioner when the majority of the daily punera of that city were able to unite in their dinipprobation of me. They have kept up the lvablt at Intervals ever since." . Referring to a remark by Dr. Creager that if he grew tired of Wall street he might return to North Dakota and re sume the business of the cattleraiser. Colonel Roosevelt replied: There seems to be more likelihood at this time that Wall street may first grow weary of me." Colonel Roosevelt left today for St. Paul to address the Conservation Con gress there tomorrow. nor Brooks, of Wyoming, ana Governor Noel, of Missouri. Deneen Gets Iiugh. Governor Deneen came out for Na tlonal control and In doing so briefly referred to the scandals that have aris en concerning: legislation. "We have a legislature in Illinois, he said, "that has held both regular and irregular sessions. At present It Is somewhat below par. This sally was greeted by laughter. "Governor Norris says that the Mon tana LefltUature can be trusted." added Mr. Deneen. "I'm sorry I cannot say that about ours. TCesolutlons Are Read. He said that the Leflslature had failed to enact legislation to give the state the benefit of the waterpower d veloped by the drainage canal. Governor Brooks read the following resolutions which he said were adopted at the meeting of the Western Gover nors at Salt Lake City, and which he suld express their conservation views "First That in legislatively solving the problems of conservation the Na tional Congress adhere to the doctrine of Abraham Lincoln, that the public lands are an Impermanent National possession held In trust for. the matur ing states. State Control Advocated. "Second That state government, no lessnenct icently than ISatlonal govern ment. is capable of devising and ad ministering laws for the conservation of public property and that the Na tlonal and state governments should legislatively corodinate to the end that within a reasonable period of time the state governments be conceded the full and complete administration of such conservation laws as may be found adaptable to the varying conditions of the several states. Third. That the experience of the conservation states demonstrates that disposition of public property as made. under existing National conservation laws and regulations has tended to intrench monopolies and interests menacing the common welfare; and that modifications of such laws and regulations should be promoted by the Conservation Congress. MISS ELKINS TO RETURN This does not mean that I unequiv ocally Indorse any or all practices that labor organizations may happen to dopt. or any or all principles that they may choose to enunciate. Labor organizations have the weaknesses and defects common to ail other forms of human organizations. Sometimes they ct very well, and sometimes they act very badly: and I am for them whan they act well, and I am attain st them when they act badly.. "It Is becoming more than ever Import ant that the labor movement should com bine steady, far-seeing leadership with discipline and control in it ranks. Dis honest leadership is a curse anywhere in Amertcrji life, and nowhere is it a great er curse than In the labor movement. If here is one lcson which I would rather teach to my fellow-Americans than anv other. it Is to houe.1 down the dishonest man no matter what his condition and to brush a sioe with Impaticat contempt Family. Now at Vichy, Sail l'nlted States October 1. for PARIS. Sept. S. David Klkins arrived here from Carlsbad today en route to Vichy, where he will Join bis mother and sister. Miss Katherine Elklna. He said that they would return here next Monday and sail for the United States about October 1. One Dead. One Hurt. In Gun Fight. GILA BEND, Ariz., Sept. E. In a gun fight last night with J. R. Dubose. a Southern Pacific watchman. Triad Mc- Clane. a miner, was killed and Dubose so badly wounded by a bullet in the abdomen that he died In a hospital at Tucson today. The trouble was start ed by the watchman trying to prevent some men boarding a train. Waterpower Inheres to State. 'Fourth. That the elimination from the National forest reserve of all homestead and untlmbered grazing lands is Imme diately expedient. Fifth. That US3 and control of all water-power inheres of right in the states, with perpetual freedom from monopoly. Sixth. That the privilege of American citizens to seek and develop mineral wealth wherever it may be found should bo amplified and secured by laws. . "Seventh. That the Idea of deriving Federal revenue from the physical re source of the states Is repugnant to that adjustment of the Union." Hay Pleads for States. 1 Governor Hay pleaded for state con trol. He declared that there wae Just ss much reason for Secretary Wilson to come out to TV ashlngton and harvest their crops as to expect the Federal Gov ernment to attend to the state's natural resource?. 'If the states are not able to con trol the corporations." said he. "thev might ns well go back to therritorial days and be done with it. "President Taft In his sddress this'i forenoon expressed our ideas better than I can. Also I might remark that the states which are strongest for Na tional control are those states whose resources have been disposed of Ions ago. "A tree Is like a human being. It has Its maturity and its old age. It should be utilized at tis maturity rather than to be allowed to die and to become a fire-trap a source ot danger to the mature timber about It."

Address of welcome by Governor Kberhardt and Mayor Keller and the invocation by Archbishop Ireland marked the beginning- of the Congress. President Taft. whose portrait monop olized the scheme of decorations to the exclusion of all others, reached the platform from a rear door. As he climbed the steps to the platform the crowd broke into cheers as his head became visible. . Politically the day brought forth no development affecting control of the congress. The fight is not expected to reach the floor until tomorrow night or Wednesday. James J. Kill, who will speak later, attended both sessions and listened attentively to all that was said. Tomorrow's programme Is headed by an it dress by Theodore Roosevelt, and in cludes addresses by Miss Mabel Board- man. Francis J. Heney, of California Herbert Knox Smith. United States Commissioner of Corporations; Gover nor Had ley of Missouri; President Fow ler, of the " National Irrigation Con gress, and ex-Governor Pardee, ol Cal ifornia. Senator Knute Nelson, of Minnesota, prefaced a careful review of public land acts by the statement that the natural resources of the country should be conserved by the individual, the state and the Nation the farmer his soil, the state Its lands, its forests and its waters, and the Federal Government the resources of its mines. Its forests and Its lands, with their appurtenances. Ke then sketched the situation at the close of the Revolution when the money- poor, land-rich Government sought to dispose of Its lands. The well-meant laws enacted, however, resulted In small gain to the country and big profit to speculators, who did not hesi tate at shady methods to Increase their wealth. He said: In 1STS rtonareas paaaed the ao-called. timber and atone act, originally applying to four Weatern atatea, but by tha act of 182 extended, to all the public land states. Much valuable land auitable for agricultural pur pose haa been entered under the law. and enormous quantities of our molt valuable Imber lands have been aecured. by fraudu lent methods, by the great timber speculat ors under Its provisions. These speculators have, directly or lnairecxiy. employed acores and hundreds of men and women to enter valuable tlmbar lands, worth from tlo to Sloo per acre, at S-..0 per acre and Immedi ately after entry, for a limited compensa tion, secured transfer of the land to them selves pursuant to a prior understanding and agreement. Seme five years ato the Senate passed a hill repralina; th. art. but it failed to pass in tha House of Representatives. Since then the Interior Department has come to our relief in. this matter. The law flxeo tne minimum price at S2.50 per acre, but did ot prohibit the uovernmeni irom more. In November, lavs, me iDiermr . artment adopted tne rule ana iiwitj w ppralslng the land, subject to entry under tne act, and selling tne same at toe p- ralscd value, which is mucn ninnor in mum nstanrea than tne minimum pnee 01 iu. statute. Fraud is Checked. This new policy, which ia still adhered to, has checked the fraudulent speculation in K lands and haa srlven tha Govern ment a much hig-her price for the land en- ered. Over ...iio.OOO acres nave been so entered. Notwithstanding tills valuable ad ministrative relief. I am still of the opinion that the law should be repealed, to the end that the timber and atona may be disposed ot at fairer and more reasonable prices and methods. Alluding to forest reserves. Senator Nelson referred in words of praise to Glfford Plnchot. He said there was no systematic effort to preserve the for ests until 1891, and again in 1897. He said: Under this legislation, nearly 200.00C.000 acres of public lands In various states, in cluding Alaska, have been withdrawn and set apart for forestry purposes and are now embraced in our National foresta and their administration and care have been placed on a sound, workable and safe basis through the Initiation, prudence and wisdom of our great forester. Mr. Plnchot. who haa laid the foundation and Is the factor of our forestry system. Had there bean more de lay our timber lands would, long before this, have passed into private ownership and there would have been nothing left for the Government to conserve. No land legisla tion in recent times haa been productive of such beneficent and far-reaching bhssings as our forestry legislation. While occasion ally there has been a little grumbling and friction on the part of settlers and cattle men as to tho administration of the law in some of its details, yet it can be fairly said. when it la born In mind that It is a new system that has been initiated, that there haa been little. If any. valid ground for serious criticism. "The Kconomlc Value of Conserva tion" was the subject of an address by Governor Kberhart. of Minnesota. The Governor said in part: "The loss in farm values in nearly a.ll the states, as shown by the cenug records from isso to lfwn. varies from 1 ,00.00fl to J160.000 in each state. Is this not sufficient, .to arouse the entire Nation and cause such a wave of reform as will put into activity every agency and Instrumeutality for scientific and progressive methods of agrieiiltural reconst ruction? ill oft 'It's the Water" GET THE KIND YOU WANT The next time you order be sure the bottle looks like this Then you'll know it's PURE OLYMPIA BEER The beer that means everything to those who want a fine flavored, sparkling and healthful beverage.
