Pinchot's address was as follows:
Conservation has captured the ma

twelve months is amazing. Official
opposition to the conservation move

still threatens to the public interest
has vastly strengthened the grasp OF
conservation upon the minds and con

scure or belittle the issue have only
served to make it larger and clearer
in the public estimation. The con
servation movement cannot be check

man who tells the plain truth is either
a muckraker or a demagogue. 1t has
taken firm hold on our national moral

The address of Clifford PinchOt, for
mer chief forester who was deposed
by President Taft a few months ago,
before the Roosevelt Club of St. Paul,
was replete with hot shot fired into
the ranks of the corruptionists. The
speech fairly bristled with epigrams
against the Interests" and was lis
tended to by the banqueters with
close attention, and was punctuated
with frequent applause. Mr.. Pinchot
insisted that the 'interestS" be driven
out of politics and this sentiment
met with hearty response among
the guests at the function. Mr..
Pinchot's address was as follows:

NATION HAS LOST CON-
FIDENcE IN CONGRESS.

Because the special interests are in
politics, we as nation have lost con-
fidence in congress- This is a serious
statement to make, but it is true. It
does not apply, of course, to the men
who really represent their constituents
and who are making so fine fight for
the conservation of self-government.
AS soon as these men have won their
battle and consolidated their victory,
confidence in congress will return.
But in the meantime the people Of
the United States believe that, as q
whole, the senate and the house no
longer represent the voters by whom
they were elected, but the special in
terests by whom they are controlled.
They believe SO because they have SO
often seen congress reject what the
people desire, and do instead what the
interests demand. And of this there
could be no better illustration than the
tariff.
The tariff, under the policy Of pro-
lection, was originally a means to
raise the rate of wages. 1t has been
made a tool to increase the cost Of
living. The wool schedule, professin'
to protect the woolgrower, is found to
result in sacrificing grower and con-
sumner alike to one of the most "a.
pacious of trusts.
The cotton cloth schedule was In
creased in the face of the uncontra-
dicted public testimony of the manu-
facturers themselves that it ought to
remain unchanged.
The steel trust demanded and by a
trick secured an indefensible increase
in the tariff On structural steel.
The sugar trust stole from the gov
eminent like petty thief, yet con-
gress, by means of a dishonest sched-
ule, continues to protect it in bleeding
the public.
At the very time the duties on man.
ufactured rubber were raised, the
leader of the senate, in company with
the Guggenheim syndicate, was organ
izing an international rubber trust,
whose charter made it also holding
company for the coal and copper de-
posits of the whole world.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1910-06-16

the American people today is this:
Snail the nation govern itself or shall
the interests run this country? The
one great political demand, underly-
ing all others, giving meaning to all
others, is this: The special interests
must get out of politics. The old-style
leaders, seeking to switch public at
tention away from this one absorbing
and overwhelming issue, are pitifully
ridiculous and out of date. To try to
divert the march of an aroused public
conscience from this righteous in
evitable conflict by means of obsolete
political catchwords is like trying to
dam the Mississippi with dead leaves.
To drive the special interests out of
politics is vast undertaking, for in
politics lies their strength. If they re-
sist, as doubtless they will, it will 'call
for nerve, endurance, and sacrifice on
the, part of the people. 1t will be no
child's play, for the power of privilege
is great But the power of our people
is greater still, and their steadfastness
is equal to the need. The task is a
tremendous one, both in the demands
1t will make and the rewards it will
bring. 1t must be undertaken soberly,
carried out firmly and justly, and re-
lentlessly followed to the very end.
Two things alone can bring success.
The first is honesty in public men,
without which no popular government
can long succeed The second is COM
plete publicity of all the affairs in
which the public has an interest, such
as the business of corporations and
political expenses during campaigns
and between them. To these ends,
many unfaithful public servants must
be retired, much wise legislation must
be framed and passed, and the strug-
gle will be bitter and long. But it will
be we'll worth all it will cost, for self
government is at stake.
PUBLIC SERVANTS SHOULD
BE FREE FROM INFLUENCE.
There can be no legislative cure-all
for great political evils, but legisla-
zion can make easier the effective ex-
preston and execution of the popular
will. One step in this direction, which
/ personally believe should be taken
without delay, is law forbidding any
senator or member of congress or
other public servant to perform any
services for any corporation engaged
in interstate commerce, or to accept
any valuable consideration, directly OF
Indirectly, from any such corporation
while he is a representative of the
people and for reasonable time
| thereafter If such law would be
| Egod for the nation in it's affairs a
Emi!ar law should be good for the
! ssatas and. the cities in their affairs
End I see no reason why members and
senators and state legislators should
not.keep the people informed of their
pecuniary interest in interstate or pub
lie service corporations, If they have
any. 1t is certain such publicity would
do the public no harm.
This nation has decided to do away
| with government by money for profit
and return to the government oul
| forefathers died for and gave to us
government by men for human vel
| fare and human progress.

Many Guests

PINcHOT EPIGRAMS
Clay hardens by mmobiIity-men'
minds by standing pat.
The alliance between business and
politics is the most dangerous thing
in our political life.
1t is a greater thing to be good
citizen than to be good republican
or a good democrat.
The special interests must get out
of politics or the American people
will put them out OF business.
The people now demand that the
man they elect to office shall not
merely drift, but shall guide the
stream.
The black shadow Of party regu :
iarity IS the supreme test in public
affairs has passed away from the
public mind.
A representative of the people who
wears the collar Of the special in
terests has touched bottem. He
can sink no further.
The brand Of politics served out to
us by the professional politician has
long been composed largely OF hot
meals for the interests and hot air
for the people.
Political platforms are not SEN
cere statements Of what the leaders
of the party really believe. but rather
forms of words which those leaders
think they can get others to believe
they believe.
