TAMENESS OF A SEA LION
Old Ben, Weighing Half a Ton, Is
Often Met on the Streets
of Avalon.

In describing the islands lying off
the southern coast of California Fred
erick Holder writes: "The feature
which will really amaze the wanderer
among the Channel islands is the
tameness of some animals. To meet
a bull sea lion weighing approximate
ly half ton on the main avenue of a
town, so feet from the water, is a pos
stbiltty of a startling nature, yet 1
have seen Old Ben, the head of the
Santa Catalina sea lion rOokery, on
Crescent avenue, Avalon, surrounded
by tourists who snapped their cam
eras at him with impunity.
"At that time Ben could be induced
to come ashore when the lure was a
fat, lOng-finned tuna, but one day he
climbed upon the wharf, coming en-
tirely up the steps, following the man
with a fish. Then some unreasonable
person made a threatening demonstra-
ton; Ben started for the step, lost his
hold, slipped and fell, smashing them
and wOunding himself For a long
time he remembered this, but gradual
ly his faith in human beings has re-
turned.
He is gOOd-tempered and never at
tempts to bite. But he is a savage
looking animal, and when he comes
leaping up on the boat landing, driving
of women and children by mere
ferocity of appearance, and seizing
their fish, as he did recently, he makes
a very clever imitation of a ferocious
beast"

Mr.. Pinchot's address was rich with

MAIN QUESTION THAT CON
FRONTS COUNTRY, DECLARES
FORMER FORESTER,
AT THE ST PAUL MEETING
Epfgramatic Attack Made During His
Speech on Conservation.-Taft's
Name Not Mentioned; Roose-
velt's Occasions Cheering.

st. Paul, June 14.-Before a gather
ing which yelled enthusiastically at
the mention of the name of Theodore
Roosevelt and at a gathering that had
all the appearance of the Inaugural
ton OF a third term movement for
Theodore Roosevelt, Clifford Pinchot,
deposed national forester, delivered
his fighting talk"
The address was delivered at the
banquet given by the st. Paul Roose-
welt club at the Ryan hotel to Mr..
Pinchot and to James r. Garfield, for
mer secretary of the interior.
Mr.. Garfield and Mr.. Pinchot were
the chief speakers in a program which
included a happy address by Gov. A.
O. Eberhart.
1t was an enthusiastic gathering,
and significant as pointing to the pur-
pose OF the affair, the name of Presi-
dent William H. Taft was not men,
toned, although some indirect refer
ences made by the speakers might
have been aimed at the nations ex
ecutive.
Another significant feature Of the
affair was that in opening his ad-
dress, Mr.. Pinchot ~pointedly said:
II have been asked many ques-
tons since my arrival here. Neces-
sarily | am debarred from saying
anything and to all of them l
have replied, I have nothing to
say But / think | might be per-
mitted to say that in selecting the
name of your club you have made
no mistake"
This was the nearest approach which
Mr.. Pinchot has made to any reference
to the possible future of the former
president and was received with a
yell of applause.
The banquet followed a busy day in
St. Paul, the two distinguished visitors
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1910-06-17

having arrived in the morning at st.
Paul, where they were taken at once
to the Minnesota club. Later the par
ty went to the capitol and made an
automobile trip to Minneapolis.
A 1 o'clock luncheon at the Mime
sofa club, where Governor Eberhart
and President Louis w. Hill of the
Great Northern railroad were guests,
was another feature of the day.
The advance notices of the speeches
Of the two noted speakers, omitted one
fact. Mr.. Pinchot's speech was ad-
vertised as a fighting talk" 1t was
not more of a fighting talk than was
that of Former Secretary Garfield.
Both speakers handled their subjects
without gloves. Mr.. Garfield's talk
was a philosophic exposition of the
meaning and purpose of the conserva-
ton movement. Mr.. Pinchot's was an
epigramatic attack on the present
order of politics. He dwelt on this
feature at length and in closing his
address, said that to drive out the
interests" was the one object to be
attained.
The Payne-Aldrich tariff bill was
bitterly attacked by the former for
ester, and the wooden schedule was es-
pecially singled out as an example of
the betrayal of public trust.
1t was alleged by both speakers that
corporate influence vas too powerful
at Washington and that legislators did
their behests rather than perform their
duties as legislators.
Aimed at Taft.
No direct attack was made on the
president, but indirect references were
made which might naturally be taken
as being aimed directly at the nations
executive.
"We want men who will not run
with the stream" concluded Mr.. Gar
field, but who will direct it. and
Who will give us not lip service but
actual, fighting, aggressive service, so
that we will give our own day and age

TREATED AS FIRST
AMERICAN Of Time
Theodore Roosevelt Most Highly
Honored in Europe.
EXCITING INCIDENT IN ROME
Former President Delivered Scholarly
Lectures in Paris, Berlin and OK
ford-Represented His Country
at King Edwards Funeral.

Scarcely less interesting than his
hunting trip in Africa, and at times
almost as exciting, were the adven-
lures OF Col. Theodore Roosevelt In
Europe. There he desired to be treat
ed as a man of letters and science,
rather than as a sportsman, and his
desire was gratified. But in addition,
Europe insisted on receiving him as
the most distinguished American of
the time, and everywhere he went
donors were showered on him. EN-
perors. kings, princes and all manner
OF royalties and nobility greeted him,
dined him and toasted him, and the
people in all the lands that he visited
turned out in vast throngs to see him
and cheer him.
In Paris, Christiania, Berlin and OK
ford Mr.. Roosevelt delivered scholarly
public addresses and the literary and
scientific circles opened to let him in
and marveled at the wide scope OF his
knowledge.
The event connected with Mr..
Roosevelt's European tour that
aroused the most interest and excite
ment occurred Immediately after his
arrival In Italy early in April. Before
be left Africa his desire to pay his
respects to the pope had been con
veyed to the Vatican and the holy
father had intimated that he would be
glad to see the distinguished Ameri.

for his successful efforts to end the

Emperor William had made great

company with Miss Babbitt, were

was evident that she could not re-

Garfieid's Address.

In the opening of his address, For
mer Secretary Garfield called atten-
ton to the settlement of the Mime
sofa swamp lands accomplished
through Governor Johnson and the at
torney general of Minnesota. He said
there were more states rights men in
the West than there are in the South.
They say" said Mr.. Garfield, I'VE
don't want you Eastern men to inter
fere. That is the spirit that will in
terfere with the settlement of such
cases as the one from Minnesota that
| have just noted. We are a nation
with a big n. AS a nation we must
take up these subjects of conserva-
ton. This does not mean the states
are to loose their political entity, but
the states must realize they are but a
small portion of the nation"
Because the people of Minnesota are
in control of three water sheds, the
speaker said, it does not follow the
people of Minnesota can control them.
The same thing is true of the fuel sup
ply and Of lumber.
Simply because the people of Penn
sylvania were unwise in caring for
their fuel supply. it does not follow
that the people Of the United States
should be unwise In caring for the
fuel supply in the West and even in
Alaska. The man who steals public
property, he said, is the same al the
man who steals private property. I'm
der the old order of things 1t was con-
sidered proper to exploit the public
domain. The same thing is true of the
cattle ranges and the old cattle men
naturally resent what has come to be
looked upon as a right.
