no other 1 1 1 1 -st i ii concerns us more

policy of national Irrigation is of

Is this, that national irrigation mul
tiplies the men who own the land

"The nation that will lead the

obiect of the great conservation
i
'movement is just this, to make our
Icountry a permanent and prosperous
. home for ourselves and for our
childien, ami for our children's
! children, and it is a task that Is
i worth the best thought and effort
of any and all of ns.
Finality of Opportunity,
j "The first thing that we need lu
i this country, as President Roosevelt
so well set. forth In that grand mess
'ago which told what be had been try
iing to do for the American people,
lis equality of opportunity for every
citizen. No man should have less,
land no man ought to ask for more.
Equality of opportunity Is the real
object of our laws nnd Institutions.
I, ami Owned by the Many.
"Equality of opportunity, a square
ileal for every man, the protection of
the citizen against the great concen
trations of capital, the Intelligent use
of laws nnd Institutions for the pub
lic good, nnd the conservation of our
natural resources, not for the trusts,
but for the people; these are real
Issues and real problems. Fpon
such things ns these the perpetuity
of this country as a nation of homes
really depends. We are coming to
see that the simple things are the
things to work for. More than that,
we are coming to see that the plain
Amerlcnn citizen Is the man to work
for. The Imagination Is staggered
by the magnitude of the prize for
which we work. If we succeed there
will exist upon this continent a sane,
strong people, living through the
centuries In a land subdued nnd eon
trolled for the service of the people,
Its rightful masters, owned by the
ninny and not by the few. If we fall,
the great Interests, Increasing their
control of our natural resources, will
thereby control the country more and
more, nnd the rights of the people
will fade Into the privileges of con
centrated wealth.
The Water Power Trust.
"There could he no better Illustra
tion of the eager, rapid, unwearied
absorption by capital of the rights
which belong to nil the people thnn
the wafer power trust, not yet form-
led but In rapid pvo cm of formation.
jThU stntonipnt 1 true, but not un-j
flinlb,r,ged. We nre met at. every'
turn by the indignant denial of thi
water power interests. They toll u
that there is no community of Inter
ests among them, and yet tlicvju
pear year niter year at these ra
grosses by their paid attorneys ask
ing for your Influence to help them
remove the few remaining' nbstacla
to their perpetual and coiupletp ab
sorption of the remaining water
powers. They tell us i; bin no
.significance that the (ionoial Elec
tric Interests are acquiring great
groups of water po.vcis in varloui
parts of the I'nlted States, ani
dominating the power marl;et In tie
region In each. And whoever dom
inates power, dominates till In
dustry. Have you ever seen a N
drops of oil scattered on ihe water
spreading until they formed a enn-
tinuous film, which put an end at
once to nil neltntion oi the siinaif.
The time for us to agitate this ques
tion is now, before the separate cir
cles of centralized control spread In
to the uniform, unbroken, nation
wide covering of a single gigantic
trust.
Livelihood vs. Profit.
"The man who really counts Is th
plain American citizen. This is the
man for whom the Roosevelt poli
cies were created, aid his welfare
the end to which the Roosevelt poli
cies lend. Ab a nation we nv mrtun-
