3. C. Ralston Draws Striking
Picture of Contrast
at Congress.
DEMAND MADE FOR CHANGE
Spokane Engineer Assails Vtopian
Theories of "Water-Power legis
lation and Pleads for Permis
sive, Xot Kestrlcliire, Law.
In a speech couched in subtle humor
and bristling: Ti-ith biting- earusmi, J.
C. Ralston, prominent consulting en
Kineer of Spokane, pictured to the dele
Kates at the water-power conference
Tuesday the progress and prosperity
that nave followed in the wake of a.
liberal Governmental policy toward the
homeseeker and the advance guard of
industry.
In the same address, though, he pre
sented the dreary contrast to the first
picture the stagnation -and strangula
tion that b"ve accompanied the latter
day policy ;i the Government in con
serving ani hiding away from public
reach all fce treasures that nature has
placed In etore among these Western
states whoiie representatives are gath
ered here ihis week to seek a reopening
of their resources.
Acted Spankers to He Heard Today.
Mr. Ralston's speech was the only
formal address of the evening. The
other scheduled speakers received per
mission to defer their utterances until
this morning. It is probable therefore
that Senator Walsh of Montana, Sen
ator Smoot of Utah and S. Z. Mitchell,
prominent New York banker, interested
in many public utility projects in the
West, all will he heard this morning.
The resolutions conunilttee, one mem
ber of which was named by each state
represented at the conference, met im
mediately after adjournment and or
ganized by the election of 'Senator
Smoot as chairman.
Mr. Smoot 'a Kloctlon Unanimous.
Senator Walsh first suggested that
ex-Governor Hawley, of Idaho, be
chosen chairman, contending that it
would be bad taste for the conference
to go to Congress with resolutions pre
pared by a comittee of which a member i
of Congress was chairman. Mr. Haw
ley declined the nomination and nomi
nated Senator Smoot, who then was
elected unanimously. Inasmuch as no
resolutions have been submitted, the
committee adjourned until 8:30 o'clock
this morning. It is expected that sev
eral of the delegates will introduce
resolutions of their own preparation.
According to the rules of the confer
ence these measures will be read in the
open sessions and referred to the reso
lutions committee.
Mr. Italston's speech last night was
entertaining as well ' as enlightening.
It contained many witty and original
rpigrams that had a peculiar applica
tion to the subject under consideration.
Laughter Greets Sally.
He aroused his hearers to frequent
bursts of hearty laughter by such
Fparkling statements as these:
"We will no longer experiment with
Utopian nostrums but in a practical
ense will recognize that an aero in
Middlesex is worth a principality in
Utopia.
"I presume that the theory of stran
gulation, political self-seeking, experi
mentation and bureaucracy which has
been water-logging the Nation must
give way to a spirit of foresight, genius
and statesmanship.
"I take the liberty of believing that
the political Shylock who would repu
diate an honest bargain, revoke a fair
franchise or who claims a knowledge
not revealed to the wise men. must
make room for the man of vision.
Stultifying Policies Assailed.
"The conversion of the Nation's
water power into the wine of industrial
expansion must no longer be restrained
by stultifying policies.
"Transcendent reason must replace
transparent illusion.
"Bureaucracy is the mildew on the
heart of democracy.
"Ancient Judea compelled revocation
of all lands at the end of every 60
year period: thus every semi-centennial
was a iay of feverish, savage ex
pectancy -among the political syco
phants. "Let us breathe the oxygen of mo
dernity, not the carbon-dioxide of an
tiquity. Plea Made for San My.
"Let the ears of Congress be turned
from the echo-stones of the Capitol to
the cry of Industry and in the satur
nalia of law-making let a loud voice
be heard proclaiming, 'sanity, sanity,
sanity'."
Mr. Ralston reviewed, briefly, the
history of the development of the Na
tion's resources. le pointed out that
when the. Nation acquired, by treaty,
annexation and purchase, a territory
Bggicgating, exclusive of Alaska, 1,
30.000,000 acres, the most monumental
colonization project In history was in
augurated. He showed how the homestead laws
were enacted for the purpose of at
tracting farmers to the Idle acres and
declared that "thus was compounded
the theory of encouragement of Na
tional development."
The enactment by Congress of the
Pacific railways bill, whereby the lines
building from the Middle West to the
Coast were given large areas of land,
was pointed to as the next step in this
encouragement of National develop
ment. Another great piece of legislation, he
said, was tho act of 1866, throwing the
.public domain open to mineral loca
tions. As a result the mines of the
great West have been opened and the
Avealth of the Nation has been in
creased many fold.
"There . was no thought," said he,
"that the' profit should accrue to the
Government, but only that a greater
wealth could be created for the Na
tion, and a greater benefit to the peo
ple. "And, the theory of that legislation
i tsa eacouragement of National
envelopment."
He explained, also the reclamation
act and the public good that has at
tended its operation. Tho theory of
the reclamation' act. he emphasized,
likewise was the encouragement of
National development.
He urged that the statesmanship of
the past may well be the guide to the
tuture in framing water-power legisla
tion. Permissive Legislation Wanted.
"We also see," -he continued, "that
water-power legislation must bo sub
stantive and not subjunctive; permis
sive, not restrictive; that it must be
responsive to and sympathetic with the
principles of encouragement, not dis
couragement; that it must be free from
the petty entanglements of depart
mental formulae, legal uncertainties
and short-terra grants, devoid of so
cialistic and unfair escheatments, and,
finally, inviting to the financial. In
dustrial and engineering genius of the
land.
"When we reflect upon the fact that
tha Industrial development of the Na
tion promises to be ultimately as great
as nas Deen Its agricultural develop
ment, wo are overwhelmed by the im
mensity of the undertaking. At no
time in our history has our industrial
isolation, been so keenly emphasized
as now. When Deace comes, we will
find every nation in Europe standing
wun its Dack to the wall, fighting to
regain lost markets and commercial
ana financial prestige.
"The demand for a return to the
practice of National encouragement of
industry will sweep aside with a tor
rent of reaction the philosophy of a
new political creed. We "will no longer
experiment with Utopian nostrums, but
in a practical sense will recognize that
an acre in Middlesex is worth a prin
cipality in TJtopia.
Cbenp Power First Requisite.
"It needs no technical definition by
the engineer for all to understand that
the first fundamental . of industrial
progress is cheap power. Cheap powe.
should now, under the peculiar and in
sistent psychology of the impending
limes, become one of our National
ideals.- Cheap power is as necessary to
industrial growth as cheap land for
agricultural growth.
-Let the Nation have a law which
will encourage the development of our
water-power resources. Let the law be
charged with-the elements of safety
and perpetuity of . title during good
behavior; let it be lifted above the
personal equation of individual offi
cials, endowed with legal stability, un
fettered by pett;- restrictions, con
ceived in statesmanship and born of
genius, so that the frugal Investing
citizen, the custodian of trust funds or
the man of greater means may place
his money with safety in an industry
so vital and immediately' necessary to
National development."

pected to Remove Official.
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 22. (Spe
cial.) Completing an investigation of

NEW YORK, Sept. 22. Substantia
tion of rumors that German submarine
bases had been established In English
waters was brougnt here today by
Frank S. Peer, of Ithaca, N. Y a cattle
breeder who owns a breeding place on

persons of German origin were ar
rested. Mr. Peer also said that the British
were trapping submarines in the vi
cinity of Guernsey by means of steel
nets and that he knew personally that
28 had been thus captured during five
months.

when he was apprehended August 30
at Falmouth while proceeding from New
xont on Doard the steamer Rotterdam
ror Rotterdam, 17 are described as
having been made public and the other
17 as being "insufficient to warrant
publication."
The documents included a letter fr-nm
ur. Lonstantin T. Dumba. the Austro.
Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs
which criticised Secretary of State
Lansing's reply to Baron von Burlan's
protest against the large deliveries of
weapons to the allies.
Wilson Called 'Self-Wilted."
The letter declares the legal arscu
ments of Mr. Lansing are "certainly
very weak," but adds that to return to
the question is useless, "having regard
to the somowhat self-willed tempera
ment of the President."
The letter of Dr. Dumba. which Is
dated August 20, says:
The reply of Secretary of State Lan
sing to the note of June 29. in which
Your Excellency protested against the
enormous deliveries of weapons and
munitions to the allies from the United
States, was published here I do not
know whether with the agreement of
the Austrian government on the 16th
ultimo.
"As was to be expected, the refusal
was quite categorical. The legal argu
ments are certainly very weak, for the
references- to articles supplied by Ger
many and Austria during the Boer war
are not to the point and are mislead
ing, for at that time Germany claimed
to nave the right to send foodstuffs to
the Boers via the neutral port of Lo
renzo JViarques, and. if I am not mis
taken, carried the point, after the war,
against England.
"The true ground for the discourag
ing attitude of the President lies, as
his confidant, Mr. House, already in
formed me in January and now has re
peated, in the fact that the authorities
in a serious crisis would have to rely on
neutral foreign countries for all their
war materials. At no price and in no
case will Mr. Wilson allow this source
to dry up.
"For this reason I am of the opinion
that a return to the question, whether
officially, by replies of Your Excel
lency, or by semi-official conversation
between myself and the Secretary of
State, will no.t only be useless, but
even, having regard to the self-willed
temperament of the President, hartnful.
"In this matter I agree entirely with
the view expressed by Consul Schwegel
In a report attached. The President
has broken all the bridges behind him
and made his point of view so definite
that it is impossible for him to retreat
from this position.
"As last Autumn, he can always,
through his personal influence, either
force the House of Representatives to
take his point of view against their
better Judgment, or on the other hand,
in the Senate can overthrow the reso
lution already voted in favor of pro
hibiting the export of guns and muni
tions. Aid of Hryan Conntrd On.
"The proposal to forbid passenger
ships to carry munitions stands on a
different footing, however. Mr. Bryan
and his Democratic supporters would
stand for this prohibition, and I be
lieve the President would not show
himself so intransigent with regard to
this action. .
"As for the note of protest against
British influence with shipping, which
has so often been notified and as often
postponed. I learn that the issue is de
layed in consequence of the imminent
declaration of cotton as contraband.
The feeling, which obtains among the
great American exporters was ac
curately represented in Mr. Meagher's
speech Meagher is one of the princi
pal exporters of the United States, for
he Is a partner in the Chicago firm of
Armour & Co., who, with the firm of
Swift, control the meat market of the
whole Western Hemisphere.
"My informant further gave me to
understand he has not set played his
last trump, namely, a refusal to ex
port meat to England under the cir
cumstances. He that Is to say, the
above-named slaughtering - houses
control the Argentine market. At the
present moment they are paralyzed
here also by the action of the British
Admiralty, for the latter has comman
deered most of the English freight
ships Intended to transport meat from
Argentina.
"If Engla.nd stood face to face with
the danger of not being able to get any
meat from the United States or Ar
gentina, she would soon give in.
"What the immediate result here of'
making cotton contraband will be is
hard to say. The anger of those in
terested in cotton will be enormously
increased, but. on the olher hand, the
fear of threatened confiscation may
make the leaders of the cotton trust
so yielding that they, against their bet
ter Judgment, may a.gree to the sale of
the greater part of the supply en bloc
to England, who would be in a posi
tion in the future to control the whole
cotton market, and, on peace being de
clared, to force on the whole world
this essential raw material.

aJ harmless little chicken the feath
ered species can cause. Mayor Albe
is in receipt of a letter from Charles
H. Robins, of 72D East Fourteenth
street, relating a long, pitiful tale oi
five months' Etruggle to get rid of the
crowing of a lusty-lunged rooster
owned by a neighbor. He appeals to
the Mayor to invoke the police power
of the city to choke off the racket.
The complainant says the rooster
takes a five-hour shift every morning
and makes life miserable. "I have
pulled cotton out of the mattress." he
says, "and plugged my ears and have
shut down all the windows to deaden
the sound, but the bird crows on and
I cannot sleep. They keep him in a box
that is open in front and acts as a fine
sound board."
Mr. Robbins has complained to the
police, the Sheriff, the District At

torney and all without avail. And now
he hopes Mayor Albee will be able to
give him some relief.
