MONOPOLY GREAT : " (Halt! tnn twites Wlra.l ( 1 St. Paul, Minn., Sept 6. Colonel The odore Roosevelt arrived in St. Paul to day. As a result of ch fight which has developed In the national conserva tion congress over the water power sites he has dropped the pacific attitude he has maintained and will . begin an open fight for federal control of natural re sources. rAfter breakfasting at tue Jta disson hotel in Minneapolis the colonel began the work of altering his speech to include the crusade he Intends to make in favor of the; federal faction of the congress. Roosevelt noted the Taft promise. to present state tights or federal control , to ' congress, . and it . Is expected his speech will be an answer to inis promise. . .- . v , St., Paul, Minn.; ' Sept.- 6. Colonel Roosevelt, speaking, here today,: saidt . -"America's .reputation." for; efficiency sUnds"deBervediyjhlgh throughout the world? We are efficient probably to the, full limit that '.any nation can at tain by the methqda...hitherto used. 'Wi L: -A . iiibio ia great rcusgn 10 dc proua Oi our achievements," and yet no reason to ibelieve that we cahot excel our past. Throogh'a practically unrestrained in dlvjduallrm we have reached a pitch of v literally unexampled material' prosper ity; .although the distribution of this prosperity leaves much to be desired from the. standpoint of justice and fair dealing.: But we have not only allowed the Individual -a free hand, which was In the main right; we have also allowed great ' corporations to act as j though they 'were Individuals, and to exercise the rights of Individuals, In addition to using the vast combined power of hlgll ,. organization and enormous wealth for ' their own advantage. This development of corporate action, it is true, is doubt less In '.large part responsible for the . . gigantic development of our natural re sources, but is it. not less responsible for waste, destruction and monopoly on an equally: gigantic scale. ' . v. -eckless: Methods. The method ; Of reokless aflTT uncon trolled private use and waste has done for us all the good It. ever can, and it Is time to put an end to H before It does all1 the evil It easily may. We have passed the ;time .when "heedless waste and destruction,, and arrogant monopoly, are any longer permissible. Henceforth we . must seek national ef ficienty by a new and a better way, by ; the way of the orderly development and --iwrpledltfrh6TireerTOtianrT)f A our naiurar renourceB, py . maning me of all of use. Instead of leaving the sources pf material prosperity open to Indiscrtmlnlte exploitation. These are some of the reasons why it Is wise that OFVOTEOFSTATE ISnOW FriROLLED Up to and Including Last Sat urday Only 61,000 Had Reg- . . istered in All Counties; Total Numbef in 1908 122,000..

TRUST METHODS we should abandon the old otnt of view, andwhy conservation has become a patriotic duty. Conservation right, " i One of the difficulties of putting in to practice the conservation idea Is that the field to which it applies is con stantly growing in the public mind. It has . been no slight task to bring be fore 100,000,000 people a great concep tion like that of conservation, and con vince them, that It is right. This much we have accomplished. But there re mains much to be cleared up, and many misunderstandings to be removed. These misunderstandings are due in part at least to direct misrepresentation by" the men to vhrtM IntorA.t if m J servatlon should Ot prosper.' For ex- smpie,, we- una-u; constantly said by men who should know better, that tem porary withdrawals, such as the with drawals of coal :iands, will' permanently cheek development -Yet the fact Is that these withdrawals have no purpose except to, prevent the coal,landafr.oro passing Into private ownership untli congress cari pass laws to open them to development under conditions Just alike to the public and to the men who will do the developing. If there Is delay, the responsibility rests, not on the men who made, the withdrawals to" protect : the public interest, but on those who pre vent congress from passing wise legis lation, and so putting, an end to the need for-withdrawals. . '. Many Abases.' v J . . .. ; : ' 'Abuses committed in the name' of Just cause are familiar to all of us. Many.uswise things .Are done and many unwise measures are advocated In the name i ofi conservation, either : through Ignorance, ; or by those whose interest lies not in promoting the movement, but in retarding It.. For example, to stop water power development by needless refusal to issue permits for water dow er or private Irrigation: works on .tho puoiio lands, inevitably leads many men, friendly ' to conservation and believers in its general principles, to assume that its practical ' application Is necessarily a cnecK upon progress.' - Nothing could be more mistaken. The Idea.' widely cir culated Of late, that conservation means locking up - the natural : resources for the exclusive use of later generations, is wholly mistaken. Our purpose Is to make full use of these resources, but to; consider our sons and daughters as well as Ourselves; just as a farmer uses his farm in-wmyBjai)tT8ervaU-tur useruiness. conservation is, the road to national efficiency, and it stands J for ample and wise development. " V But In spite of these difficulties, most of which are doublets Inevitable in any movement or ; this , 'kind,: conservation has made marvelous progress ' : ( .-rrV f; -:, .i 'Kf & f !MS-.-' ' ----- .im. .... , Jf ''('kK ' -jf - iJ. . . .
