BLACKMAIL
NKW ORLEANS. Sent. S. Colpncl
Thcodoro Hooseveit delivered a nub
lie address In tho opera bouse horo
last night, In which ho urged that
"thin Rovcrnmcnt, Instead of paying
125,000,000 blackmail to alien wrong
doors anil their holrs," as proposed
In tho dispute xvllh Colombia over the
Panama canal property, should "use
1 that $25,000,000 on tho plant ot tho
Tanania canal, and as many scores
ot millions extra as arc necessary, to
take control of tho Mississippi and to
"develop all Its possibilities of useful-
ness from tho headwaters to tho del
ta."
Talk im Flood Problem.
Colonel Roosevelt mado a partic
ular point ot tbo flood problem,
which ho said must bo met not only
by levees, but great storaso reser
voirs up-stream, which would nov
only stop tho floods, but servo well
for irrigation purposes. Ho remind
cd his hearers that ho had teen an
advocate of federal control ot the
river for a long time, "t Insisted
upon It when 1 was prealJent," lw
said, "but neither of tho old partlcj
adopted It. It Is only tho Progres
sive party that has seen tbo need o
such a far-reaching constructive pol
icy." Ho spolec warmly of tho Progres
sives In Louisiana. There wero no
other members of tbo party, ho sajd.
who moro emphatically deserved well
of the party than tho Progressives ot
I.oulslana. Ho spoko pt the old Re
publican party as having a "deliberate
purpose to become tho bulwark of
fiourbon antagonism to advance
throughout tho nation," and said U17
Democrat were "wedded to outwore
principles of government and dead
and burled economic theories."
Btrak for Xctr Party.
Tho day was Labor day, which led
him to discuss tho Industrial and
econmlc situation. "Both the oil
parties aro wedded to their idol.
Tho Republican party by ovcry action
U4ias taken during tho past two years
has made it evident that it intends to
see that tho rank and file are shack
led and aro put under the control 01
(great bosses of tho stamp of Mr.
Barnes and Mr. Penrose.
On tho other hand, tho Democratic
party which has possessed absolute
power In Washington Tor the last two
years has shown not the faintest
symptoms ot a real understanding ot
the needs of the people. It has done
nothing whatever for labor and its ac
tion on the trusts and the tariff has
shown that it is not fit to run the
government. With tho trusts that
they havo adopted tho policy of firing
'so ns to hit It If It is a bear and to
miss It if It is a calf.' " He told hi
audience that people of Louisiana
were among those hardest hit by "the
backward and reactionary policy"
which tho government boa adopted
as regards tho tariff. He asserted
that the promlso to break up tho
trusts and reduce the living cost had
not been realised, Ho took up in de
tail the matter of sugar with which
Lo'ulilana Is closely identified. The
removal of duty job this commodity,
he said, had been a big contributing
cause to the present high prices tor
sugar, not only seriously affecting tne
sugar Industry, but causing damage
upon the wholo public.
Tjr)ff Commltfop,
.f'aerwany's great econmlc devel
opment during the forty-tbroo years
preceding this lanjentable war," ho
said, "had biw duo largely to tho In
telligent use of a tariff commission.
The Progressive proposal along this
line, he hold to bo the only real hopo
for good business from the stand
point of all.
Ho painted to tho disturbed bu6l-
nose conditions lu thfa country today
which emphasized tho need of a gov
eminent commission with power to
tell business men from the boglnuing
what was right for them to do and
what, was wrong. In Now York, ho
said tho small provision doalors had
been anxious lq couio together for
'consultation ns to how 'to handle
flour during these war times, in or
dw that Jr people might obtain it
as at little added expense as possible
Buck, decisions as that in the harves.

After months of deliberation, Mr. Booth has issued a
10,000-word explanation of how he got the wealth that
constitutes his qualification for public office.
"Mho story ot my hie" is t he prosaic recital of tho

most of opportunity, constant lv adding to savings, invest
ing wisely and enlarging the field of operations as wealth
accumulated the taleol the village uoekeieller.
Mr. Booth in explaining how the Booth-Kelly Lumber
company acquired its vast timber holdings, denies that
property was secured by fraud or that he as manager was
party to any fraudulent transactions. A case, however, is
pending in the federal supreme court which flatly contra
dicts MV. Booth's assertions.
Sui.t was brought to cancel five land patents to tfinber
land owned by the Booth-Kelly company on the ground
that they had been obtained by "fraud. The federal circuit
court of appeals held that the timber lands had been fraud
ulently secured, and ordered the patents cancelled.
The entries wero made by Ethel LaRaut and Lucv La-
Rant, sisters-in-law of Mr. Booth; Stephen LaRaut,
Booth's brother-in-law; LaRaut's wife, Alice LaRaut, and
Edward Jordan, an employe of the Booth-Kelly company,
who confessed that lie Jiad made the filing upon an un
derstanding that the company would- pay filing expenses
and pay him a bonus 01 $100 for turningover the land.
Mr. Booth asserts that he was actuated by the com
mendable purpose of nidihg poor relations and that the
transactions wore within the law. The following are Mr.
Booth's assertions and the findings of the federal court of
appeals:

inir at the tlmo when they viewed
them prior to making their entries,
and It is admitted that they never
mado any effort to dispose ot them
never inquired about the value ot
them, or the amount of timber there
on, and mado no Inquiry as to the ex
penses of the entries or tho payment
of taxes thereon, or assumed any con
trol or ownership of tho lands.
"In short, there It nothlnc in tlir.
books of the company to show that
any or tlio ua Hants owed tho lumper

that the company paid out any mon

pany held any of tho conveyances an

teed tho repayment to the lumber
company of tbo moneys which It had
so advanced."
Federal Judge Gilbert, in his decision, cancelled the
claims as fraudulent because the entrymen never saw the
timber claims after making their entries; never attempted
to dispose of 'the claims, although aware of the value of the
timber; paid no part of the expenses of filing upon the
claims; paid no taxes on the claims; that the Booth-Kelly
Lumber company paid all the expenses of the entries and
all taxes and charged these expenses and taxes to itself
and not to the entrymen.
Mr. Booth's explanation of where he got it does not
square with the iacts in the case as presented by the
United States court of appeals, which has clearly set forth
the process wherein' Mr. Booth got some of it.
