ROOSEVELT ENDORSES SOUTH
ERIN MONUMENT MOVE
Says Marble viii Commemorate Uncle
and Half-Uncle Who Went
Down in the Ala
bama
BY Assooiated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-In express
ing regret at being unable to attend
lecture on Castles in the Air" to be
delivered by Senator Taylor of Tonnes
see for the benefit of the monument TO
be erected to the Confederate dead at
Arlington, President Roosevelt today
heartily Endorsed the movement for the
monument.
His approval was expressed to a
committee headed by former Secretary
of the Navy Herbert and former Sena-
tor Faulkner of West Virginia, repre-
senting the Arlington Confederate Mon
ument association.
The president said:
"As 1 have already had to tell you,
for the reasons I then gave you, Mr..
Herbert, 1t is not possible for me to
attend. If I broke through my rule in
one case 1t would mean 1 would have
to break through it in many others.
"If there were any cases in which /
could break through 1t would be TINS,
for l wish to express my deepest SYM
patty with and most cordial approval
of the purpose and the Importance Oh
what you are going to do.
1.-THE monument to the Confederates
which you will raise will commemorate
among many scores of thousands my
whole brother, which latter went down
in the Alabama, having fired the last
gun from her, but who was picked up
and lived for many years aferward.
Studied the inscription
"when l was in Vicksburg l was
taken out to see the battlefield-the
park as it now is-and l studied with
peculiar and reverential attention the
Inscription on the Pennsylvania monu-
ment which you have quoted.
II was taken up to see 1t by my
bodyguard, composed equally of Union
and Confederate veterans. l felt that
among all nations we have been blessed
peculiarly beyond all others. because
now the memory of the valor shown
alike by the men who wore the blue
and the men who wore the gray is
heritage of honor for the whole coun-
try.
mot far from the monument which
will stand to commemorate the Confed-
crate dead-not far from the many
monuments commemorative those who
died in the Union army>at Arlington
now stands the monument to the SOL
diers of my regiment who died at San
tiago, and among those ! should say
there are about as many whose fathers
wore the gray as who wore the blue.
80, in a sense, that Santiago monu-
ment helps to emphasize the reason for
the monument to those who died in the
great War of the Rebellion. / wish
you all success, and / wish that it were
i'm my power to do more and thus
testify, as ] am now testifying, to my
sympathy for the success of the patri-
otto endeaVor in which you are en-
gagged"

BURTON LAW CONSERVING
NlAGRA FALLS OPPOSED
Effort to Be Made in Congress to Pre-
vent Re-Enactment of Act
Aimed Against En-
croachment
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Persistent
efforts are to be made in congress to
prevent the re-enactment of what is
known as the Burton law, passed in
1906, governing the disposition of the
waters of Niagara falls. The object al
that enactment was to conserve the
waters of the falls against the en-
croachment of commercial enterprises.
II was decided upon as a purely tenn
porary measure, TO be supplanted by a
general treaty on this subject between
the United States and Canada. and
which is intended to cover also the dis
position of other waters forming a
boundary line between the two coun-
tries.
The Burton law expired in less than
a year and a half. Those opposing its
ie-enactment for ten years, as Is pro-
posed in some quarters, declare this is
distinct advantage to the Canadians,
who, because such large portion of
the falls are on the Canadian side of
The river, are content to let existing
conditions remain, in preference to a
treaty which shall restrict the privi-
leges they now enjoy.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 6. - John
Mitchell, president of the United Mine
Workers, when asked today regarding
the rumor to the effect that there had
been inaugurated during the recent
mine workers convention a movement
to indorse the candidacy of certain
aspirants for the presidency OF the
United States and for other political
offices, stated that so far as he knew
there was no foundation for these
rumors.
Mr.. Mitchell said. however. that the
me nnbers of the miners union, together
with all trade unions affiliated with
tho American Federation Of Labor,
were interested actively in the election
to all executive, judicial and adminis-
trs tive offices of men who were known
to be sympathetic to the demands of
wage earners of the country.
TT follows, therefore" said Mr..
Mitchell, that they would oppose the
candidacy of aspirants for political
hCpors who are known to be unsym-
rathetic or antagonistic to the labor
movement.
Not Partisan Move
This activity on the part Of the
Accumulation. and TO a less extent on
the part of unorganized workers of our
country, is not partisan movement.
81 think there is little possibility OF
the labor organizations entering the
,,olitical field from a party standpoint.
In common with other citizens the
worl<ingmen seek the general welfare
of our country. and at the Same time
they ask such special legislation as Is
necessary for the protection of their
own lives and the preservation of their
health. so far as these ends may be
secured by legislative enactment.
'Tn other words. the laboring men
believe that officers OF the law, Wheth-
a, thew be high or low. should be es-
pecially solicitous for the welfare of
the members of the society who are
least able to serve themselves"
