against retired army officers on duty at

The q~uartermaster general Of the army
has had before him the claim of a retired
first lieutenant, recently relieved from col
lege duty and ordered to his home by som
petent order which carried mileage with 1t.
The officer claimed reimbursement of the
cost Of the Grating and shipping to his
home of his household goods and profess
sionel books. 1t is held by the War de-
partment that a retired officer on college
detail is not, under the law of 1898, entitled
to allowance, but it has also been in
formally held by the Wal department that
mileage is not an allowance, and IT is now
decided that the same competent order
which authorized mileage carries with IT
the right to the transportation of the
proper amount of household property and
| general baggage of a retired officer to his
home as a reimbursement of the expenses
which the travel necessitates and not as
an allowance. The normal method in this
result would be to turn over the property
to be Grated and transported to the quar-
termaster's department, but, as there were
no such facilities at hand, the officer had
this work done at his own expense.

The fireless cooker is destined after much
| practical trial Of the device, to have re-
stricted use in the military service. The
authorities of the War department have
reached the conclusion that 1t should only
be used in garrison, unless II can be added
TO the field equipment. Any increase in
! the material which is carried with troops
in campaign is vigorously opposed for OBJ
| vious reasons. and those who appreciate
the value of the fireless cooker do not be-
lieve 1t should be adopted for troops in
the field, II such action requires addi-
tional transportation. 1t appears to be out
of the question to have a fireless cooker
replace the present cooking outfit used
by or for troops away from garrison. One
argument advanced in favor of the fire
less cooker in the field was that upon oc-
casion the insulated boxes might be dis
carded and the kettles used for the pur-
pose of cooking. Those who have charge
of army subsistence believe that the fire.
less cooker should not be used as a substi-
tute for the present cooking appliances
in the field and the question of adding to
the transportation Is so vitality connected
with the mobility of an army that proba-
bly, none of the various appliances, such
as the rolling kitchen and the moving
oven. will be permanently adopted for use
in the army.

Our public land policy has for It's aim
the use OF the public land so that it will
promote local development by the settle
ment Of home makers; the policy we
champion is to serve all the people legiti-
mately and openly, instead of permitting
the lands 10 be converted, illegitimately
and under cover, to the private benefit OF
a few. Our forest policy was established
so that we might use the public forests
for the permanent public good, instead of
merely for temporary private gain. The
reclamation act, under which the desert
parts OF the public domain are converted
to higher uses for the general benefit, was
passed so that more Americans might have

These policies were enacted into law and
have justified their enactment. Others
have failed, so far, to reach the point OF

of allowing it to be controlled by a few
great cattle and sheep owners.
The enactment of a pure food law was
a recognition of the fact that the public
welfare outweighs the right to private
gain, and that no man may poison the
people for his private profit. The employ
ers' liability bill recognized the controlling
fact that while the employer usually has

CONSERVING OF RESOURCES
President Roosevelt Sends Message to
Congress on National Welfare.
DEMANDS ACTION BY CONGRESS
Declares Future Requirements OF Peo-
pie Can Only BE Supplied by
Preserving Present Natural
Resources to Public.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-President Roose-
welt today transmitted to congress a special
message in which he urges immediate &C
ton looking to the preservation OF the nat
ural resources of the country. The mes
sage is as follows:
To the Senate and House OF Representa-
tives:
I transmit herewith a report OF the Ma
tional Conservation commission, together
with the accompanying papers. This re
port. which is the outgrowth of the con-
ference Of governors last May. was unani-
mously approved by the recent Joint con-
ference held in this city between the Ma.
tional Conservation commission and gov
srnors Of state, state Conservation com-
missions. and conservation COMMITTEES OF
great organizations of citizens. II Is there
fore in a peculiar sense representative OF
the whole nation and all Its parts.
With the statements and conclusions OF
this report 1 heartily concur, and I com.
mend 1t to the thoughtful consideration
both of the congress and OF our people
generally. 1t is one OF the most funda
mentally important documents ever laid
before the American people. 1t contains
tho first inventory of its natural resources
ever made by any nation. In condensed
form it presents a statement OF our avail
Omaha daily bee., 1909-01-23

All this is simply good common sense.
The underlying principle OF conservation
has been described as the application OK
common sense to common problems for tho
common good. If the description is correct,
then conservation is the great fundamental
basis for national efficiency. In this stage
Of the worlds history to be fearless, to be
just, and to be efficient are the three great
requirements of national life. National ef-
ficiency is the result OF natural resources
we'll handled, of freedom of opportunity
for every man, and of the inherent capacity
trained ability. knowledge and will, collec-
lively and individually to use that oppor-
tunity.
This administration has achieved some
things; 1t has sought, but has not been
able, to achieve others; it has doubtless
made mistakes; but all 1t has done or at
tempted has been in the single, consistent
effort to secure and enlarge the rights and
opportunities of the men and women OF the
United States, We are trying to conserve
what is good in our social system and
we are striving toward this end
when we endeavor to do away with
what is bad. Success may be made too
hard for some If it is made too easy for
others. The rewards Of common industry
anu III may NC w oAAAeA - 49,
for other, and on the whole less valuable,
qualities. are made too large, and es-
pecially If the rewards for qualities which
are really, from the public standpoint, I'M
desirable, are permitted 10 become too
large. Our aim is so far as possible to
| provide such conditions that there shall
be equality of opportunity where there is
equality of energy. fidelity and intelligence;
when there is a reasonable equality OF
| opportunity the distribution OF rewards
will take care of itself.
Monopoly Kills Opportunity.
The unchecked existence of monopoly is
! incompatible with equality OF opportunity.
The reason for the exercise of government
control over great monopolies is to equaliZe
opportunity. We are fighting against
privilege. 1t was made unlawful for cor
porations to contribute money for election
expenses in order TO abridge the power of
special privilege at the polls. Railroad
rate control is an attempt to secure an
equality OF opportunity for all men af-
fected by rail transportation and that
means all OF us. The great anthracite coal
strike was settled, and the pressing hanger
OF a coal famine averted, because we
recognized that the control OF a public
necessity involves a duty TO the people,
and that public Intervention IN the atlalrs
OF a public-service corporation is neither
to be resented as usurpation nor permitted
as a privilege by the corporations, but on
the contrary 10 be accepted as a duty and
exercised as a right by the government in
the interest az all the people. The ef-
ficiency OF rhe- army and the navy has
been increased so that our people may
follow in peace the great work OF making
this country a better place for Americans
to live in. and our navy was sent round
the world for the same Ultimate purpose,

ing the last seven years. and all the

of welfare, can not permanently exist save
on a firm and lasting foundation of mater
ial well-being. In this respect our situation
is far from satisfactory. After every pos.
sible allowance has been made, and when
every hopeful indication has been given
its full weight, the facts still give reason
for grave concern. II would be unworthy
of our history and our intelligence, and
disastrous to our future, to shut our eyes
to these facts or attempt to laugh them
out of court, The people should and will
rightly demand that the great tunda-
mental questions be given attention
by their representatives. l do
not advise hasty or Reconsideration
action on disputed points, but l do urge,
where the facts are known, whore the
public interest is clear, that neither in
difference and inertia, nor adverse private
interests, shall be allowed to stand in the
way of the public good.
The great basic facts are already well
known. We know that our population is
now adding about one-fifth IL its numbers
in ten years, and by the middle OF the
present century perhaps $50, 10000 Amerl-
cans, and by its end very many million
more, must be fed and clothed from the
products OF the soil. With the steady
growth in population and the still more
rapid increase in consumption, our people
will hereafter make greater and not less
demands per capita upon all the natural
resources for their livelihood, comfort and
convenience. 1t is high time to realize
that our responsibility to the coming mil
lions is like that OF parents to their
! children, and that in wasting our resources
we are wronging our decendents.
Value of River transportation.
We know now that our rivers can and
should be made TO serve our people effec-
! lively in transportation, but that the vast
expenditure for our waterways have not
resulted in maintaining, much less IN pro-
noting, inland navigation. Therefore, let us
take immediate steps TO ascertain the
the reasons and to prepare and adopt a
comprehensive plan for inland-waterway
navigation that will result in giving the
people the benefits for which they have
paid, but which they have not received
We know now that our forests are fast
disappearing, that less than one-fifth OF
them are being conserved, and that no
good purpose can be met by failing 10
provide the relatively small sums needed
for the protection, use, and Improvement
OF all forests still owned by the govern
ment. and 10 enact laws to check the
wasteful destruction of the forests In
private lands, There are differences Of
opinion as to many public questions; but
the American people stand nearly as a unit
for waterway developments and for forest
protection.
We know hat our mineral resources,
once exhausted. are gone forever, and that
the needless waste Of them costs us hun
dreds Of human lives and nearly $500, 900, Oo
q year. Therefore, let US undertake with
out delay the Investigation necessary be-
fore our people will be in position, through
state action or otherwise. TO put an emo
TO this huge loss and waste, and conserve
both our mineral resources and the lives
OF the men who take them from the earth.

of the employee is a living for himself and
his family.
We are building the Panama canal, and
this means that we are engaged in the
giant engineering OF all time. We are
striving to add in all ways to the habita-
giant engineering feat of all time. We are
striving TO hold in the public hands the
remaining. supply of appropriated coal,
for the protection and benefit of all the
people. We have taken the first steps
toward the conservation of our natural re-
sources and the betterment OF country life
and the Improvement of our waterways.
We stand for the right of every child to a
childhood free from grinding toll. and to an
education; for the civic responsibility and

sight In public matters, and for fair play
in every relation of our national and eco
nomic life. In international matters we
apply a system of diplomacy which puts
tho obligations of international morality
on a level with those that govern
the actions of an honest gentleman
in dealing with his fellow men. Within
our own border we stand for truth
and honesty in public and in private life,
and we war sternly against wrongdoers on

Need for quick Action.

The facts set forth in this report con-
stltute an imperative call to action. The
situation they disclose demands that we,
neglecting for a time. If need be. smaller
and less vital questions, shall concentrate
an effective part of our attention upon the
great material foundations of national eX.
istence, progress and prosperity.
This first inventory OF natural resources
prepared by the National Conservation
commission is undoubtedly but the begin
ming OF a series which will be indispensable
for dealing intelligently with what we have
1t supplies as close an approximation to
the actual facts as it was possible to pre-.
pare with the knowledge and time avail
able. The progress of our knowledge OF
this country will continually lead to more
accurate information and better use OF the
sources of national strength. But we can
not defer action until complete accuracy
in the estimates can be reached, because
before that time many OF our resources
will be practically gone. II is not neces-
sary that this inventory should be exact in
every minute detail. 1t is essential that II
should correctly describe the general sit.
uation; and that the present inventory
does. AS 1t stand It is an irrefutable
proof hat the conservation of our re-
sources is the fundamental question before
this nation. and that our first and great
est task is TO set our house in order and
begin TO live within our means.

WORTH SAVING THIS

/ Valuable Prescription and How to Sc
q cnre it. -,., 1 -.
This is a simple home receipt now
being made known in all the larger
cities through the newspapers. 1t is
intended to check the many cases OF
rheumatism, kidney and bladder trou-
BILE which have made so many Grip
pies and invalids and weaklings OF
some of our brightest and strongest
people.
The druggists here have been noti-
fed to supply themselves with the
ingredients, and the sufferer will
have no trouble to obtain them The
prescription is as follows: Fluid Ex-
tract Dandelion, one-halt ounce;
Compound KargOn, one ounce; and
Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla,
three ounces. Mix by shaking well in
bottle. Inc dose is one teaspoon
full after each meal and at bedtime.
Recent experiments prove this sim
pie mixture effective in Rheumatism,
because of its positive a ction upon
the eliminative tissues of the kid
neys. 1t compels these most vital
organs to filter from the blood and
system the waste impurities and uric
acid which are the cause Of rheu-
matism. 1t cleanses the kidneys
them and removes quick
such symptoms as backache blood
bladder weakness, frequent
painful scalding and dis
colored urine. 1t acts as a powerful
stimulant to the entire kidney and
bladder structure.
Those who suffer and are accus-
toned to purchase a bottle of medi-
cine should not let little incon-
yenience interfere with making this
up.
