Roosevelt and Taft Want Fund
TO Preserve Foundations of
Nations Prosperity
President Makes Principal ADJ
dress of Day at Conserya=
tion Meeting

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. s.
President Roosevelt and President elect
Taft publicly put themselves on rec
ord today in advocacy of the issuance
of government bonds for the construc-
tion of permanent public improvements
to conserve the natural resources of
the nation.
President elect Taft presided at the
joint conservation meeting this after
noon at the Belasco theater in this
city, at which President Roosevelt
made the principal address. The in
cumbent of the White House gave his
unqualified approval of the carrying
OUT of expert plans for the conserva-
ton of the nations resources. The
coming president seconded Roosevelts
assertions with hearty accord.
Governor Chamberlain of Oregon
voiced what seemed the advanced
ground of the democratic party in adj
vocacy of the federal jurisdiction, and
the audience, which filed the theater.
and which included Andrew Carnegie,
John Mitchell, senators, congressman
and the governors of several states,
applauded every sentiment expressed.
President Roosevelt said in part
No right minded citizen would stop
the proper use of our resources, but
every good American must realize that
national improvidence follows the same
course and leads to the same end as
personal improvidence, and that need
less waste must stop. The time to de-
ride or neglect the statements of eX-
pertS and the teaching of the facts has
gone by. The time to act on what we
know has now arrived. Common pru-
dence, common sense and common buSi-
ness principles are applicable to ma
tional affairs just as they are to pri-
Vate affairs, and the time has come
TO use them in dealing with the foun-
dations of our prosperity.
We must not grow hysterical or sem
sational in depicting our condition.
But neither must we allow false
security based on conditions long since
passed away to prevent us from seeing
the facts and applying business COM
mon sense to the situation they dis
close. The purpose of the inventory
was to give the facts-not to create
alarm, but to take stock of what we
have. and so to lead to the necessary
action for its preservation and increase.
The joint meeting brought together
the members of the conservation COM
mittee and their helpers, the delegates
to the great Southern commercial con-
gress, the members of the rivers and
harbors congress, and others interested
in working out a comprehensive plan
for making the most of the lands, min
erals, forests. and waters that belong
to the public domain of the United
States.

Whitley UNSUITED
TEMPERAMENTALLY
His Resignation From Chinese
Judgesliip Not Altogether
Voluntary
President Not Satisfied With
Treatment of Italian
Waiter
Especial Dispatch to The Gail

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The resi- gna-
tion of Judge Wiley from the bench of
the United States court at Shanghai
was voluntary in form only. Threat
ened trouble with China and Italy on
account of what he had done, the pos
sibility of more charges against him in
the house of representatives and the
presidents own irritation on account of
the Judges course, combined, made res
ignation about the only way out of it
for him.
Refusal to admit an American named
Price to bail pending his appeal to the
circuit court of appeals in California Is
one of the acts of. oppression attributed
to the judge in the charges filed against
him by Representative Waldo last win
ter. The circuit court of appeals re-
versed that case by cable
notwithstanding that reversal, Judge
Wiley, almost as soon as he got back
to China, again refused to admit Price
ITO bail after sending him to jail for an
assault on a Chinese restaurant waiter.
Prices attorney was the Italian whom
Wiley disbarred and who caused the
threat of diplomatic representations on
the part Of the Italian government.
Whitley found Price guilty of assault,
Notwithstanding the waiter admitted
that he had perjured himself in the
first case. not, as he said, because he
desired to do so, but because Wilhey's
district attorney threatened to imprison
him if he did not swear Price assaulted
him with a revolver.
When these facts were again laid be-
fore the circuit court in California Will
fey was again reversed and Price, in
theory was admitted to bail. AS a mat
ter of fact, he had served his term in
jail before the circuit court could act
When this state of affairs was brought
to the attention of President Roosevelt
the latter decided that the judge was
temperamentally not suited for the
bench

URGES Plan FOR
RAISING BIG ARMY
In Special Message President
Advocates Emergency Vol
unteer Measure
Under Proposed Bill Two Million
Men Could Be Raised in
Short Order

WASHINGTON, Dec S-An emer-
sehcy volunteer army measure was
advocated today by President Roosevelt
In special message sent to congress,
ana the draft of the bill accompanying
the message was introduced in the
senate by Cullom. The president says
the Dill is intended to replace the
present law. which was placed on the
statute books 'piecemeal and hurriedly,
partly on the eve Of the war with Spain
ana partly after hostilities had actu-
ally commenced"
After declaring the present law to
be faulty and wholly inadequate to
speedy and proper organization of
volunteer force, the president says the
Dill proposed. which was drawn under
supervision of the chief Of staff of the
army. has the hearty approval OF the
war department
COULD QUICKLY RAISE TROOPS
The message says further:
It is designed to afford the COM
plete machinery by which, should we
be confronted with foreign war, the
executive power could proceed at once
to transform enthusiastic and patriotic
citizens into efficient and organized SOL
diers. Happily there is at present no
cloud upon our horizon, but that very
fact affords us the best opportunity
10 proceed with deliberat1on and care
in the preparation of laws adequate
and indispensable for our possible war
needs
1t is pointed out by the president
that the proposed measure would not
call for a dollars expenditure during
the years of peace, and its enactment
into law now would merely be to
place at the disposal of the executive
power machinery whereby should war
threaten, the means to wage 1T could
be swiftly brought into being"
The proposed bill is elastic Under
its provision a force of 100000 men
could be raised as well as one Of
$4,000.

If they had stayed in the Atlantic

in view Of the excellent condition of
the fleet as shown by this cruise and
in view of the Improvement the cruise
has worked in this already high con-
dition. I do not believe there is any
other service in the world in which
the average of character and efficiency
in the enlisted men is as high as is
now the case in our own. j believe
that the same statement can be made
as to our officers, taken as whole;
but there must be a reservation made
in regard to those in the highest ranks
as 10 which / have already spoken
and in regard to those who have just
entered the service; because we do not
now get full benefit from our excel
lent naval school at Annapolis. Tt is
absurd not to graduate the midshipmen
as ensigns; to keep them for two years
in such an anomalous position as at
present the law requires is detrimental
to them and to the service. In the
academy itself every first classman
should be required in turn to serve as
petty officer and officer; his ability to
discharge his duties as such should
be a prerequisite to his going into the
line and his success in commanding
should largely determine his standing
at graduation. The board of visitors
should be appointed in January, and
each member should be required to
give at least six days service, only
from one to three days to be per-
formed during June week, which is
the least desirable time for the board
to be at Annapolis so far as benefiting
the navy by their observations is con-
cerned. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
