Roosevelt in 1T. Paul.

St. Paul, Sept. Theodore hoose-
welt today came to st. Paul to attend
the National Conservation Congress.
Following the squabble that has de-
yeloped over the water site proposition,
Roosevelt today shifted entirely the
stand which he will take in the con
yention. Originally he was to assume
a pacific attitude, but he prepared to-
day TO make big fight in hehalf Of his
pojicy the federal control of water
power sites.
MANY Of those attending the con-
gress are pointing significantly at the
attack made here yesterday by Cover
nor Stubs, of Kansas, on Secretary OF
the Interior Ballinger. Last week Col.
Roosevelt spent an evening at the
home OF Governor Stubs at Lawrence,
Kans.. and the two talked politics and
conservation for a long time. Just
what relation that talk may have had
with the views Stubs expressed yester-
day when he declared Ballinger should
be driven from the public service, is
the subject OF much conjecture here to-
day.
Mr.. Roosevelt in his speech today
attacked state control OF forests and re-
counted the work that has been done
by the national forest bureau. He
contested the statement that the forests
have been shut up from public use, de-
claring that 100000 people use them
every year 1t seems significant that
the men behind this movement for
state rights are big business men from
states not affected" he declared, turn

Hill. the railroad magnate sat.

cOLORED EVANGELISTS.
Their Sunday Afternoon Street Meet ing Attended By White People
 and Black

Street meetings held by the Salvat- ion army are familiar. and SO gre other non -denOminational outdoor religious meetings by other organizations of the white race But here was some thing different, a street religious meeting conducted by a group of col ored evangelists. men and women. who were now holding a Sunday afternoon outdoor religious service at Fifth ave nue and 135th street, says the New York sun.
 Thousands of colored people live in blocks Immediately to the west of this locality. and not far distant thousands more of white people The audience at this meeting, standing in circle around in the street was made up of white people and black. including white children and some white men, dwellers in the neighborhood or. passersby. and all listened quietly. attentively and in terestedly.
 The eVangelists sang many songs. men and women, joining in the singing with musical voices; and all the time the crowd increased One of the men prayed earnestly for the people of the neighborhoOd, for the passersby, and another spoke and then there was more singing.
 As they sang a great crowd of peo- pie appeared coming down Fifth ave nue from above 135th street, spread ing across from side to side of the thoroughfare as they came. A block or two up the avenue there is a ball ground where amateurs play and where two or three thousand people or more may gather at a game; these people now coming down the avenue above 135th street as the singers were sing ing were coming from the ball games; and a few came to the religious street meeting, but mostly they passed on through 135th street and on their re- spective ways.
 But it all made up into a novel busy scenefOf activity with many people in the picture; and now through the throng rolled an ambulance from the Harlem hospital at LenOx avenue and 136th street, passing on by the evan gelists and their still growing meeting on down Fifth avenue as the singers sang

As the airy mists of the summer seal" And all the while. and l know it's
 true, The weight of his wife was Two-O-

 queen Of the Kingdom fair of Might Have
 Been Although his wife-and her name was

 Mark Smith, the man who for years has been sent to Washington to study conditions and who is well posted concerning them.
 Roy s. Goodrich emphasized the grave danger of a mistake in this the eleventh hour and pointed out the antipathy of New York and other eastern states to the admission Of Arizona They do not want added Western representation and will gladly welcome the initiative or any other idea on which they can fight against admission. Arizona cannot afford to lCse this chance. The so-called re- forms may be secured later if desired by means of the direct primaries to which the republicans are comimtted.
 Dwight F. Heard recalled the presi- dents visit here, his utterances at the time his fine impression of the Arizona people which led him to work so hard in behalf of the territory. Arizona should realize the resposibil- ity of the hour and make a clean and simple constitution as she has been asked to do. The speaker then re- called the twenty years fight for statehood as the result of which joint statehood was defeated and Theodore Roosevelt. then president, was won to Arizona's side. MT. Heard said he was proud of a personal acquaintance with Mir. Roosevelt and concerning his ideas of "progressiveness," alleged by the democrats to include the initiative and referendum, MT Heard read an extract from a letter to him by MT. Roosevelt, who said: Be progressive, of course, but use common sense" Vote for the direct primary and prov en ideas. but discard the experiments.
 C. s. Steward, better known as Jack Steward made a short talk, but one that bristled with enthusiasm. He said a good hunter always catches his rabbit before skinning it. and Ari- zona should do the same. He pointed to the record of both Roosevelt and Taft in reference to Oklahoma regard ing the initiative and referendum. The former condemned it and sent the

latter into the territory to stump against il. Taft had since shown himself Arizona's best friend and had spoken in no uncertain language. He first told us what kind of a constitu- ton to make, and then the kind not to make, and there was no raisunder- standing his meaning MT Steward said he wanted some day to- vote for a president, and he believed the rest of the Arizonians did. too.
 Judge Kibbey did not go into quite as much detail on the initiative and referendum as in some previous speeches, for there wasn't time, and ne had a great deal of ground to cover. but he gave a good idea. He told the dangers of it even if he did leave out some of the apt illustrations he has been making in other speeches But he touched on numerous other questions and viewed the present sit uation from various angles, some of them not hitherto pointed out He said in the beginning that he be- lieved everybody in the county knew by this time that he was a candidate. He had been made to know it par ticularly by the fact that the candi- dates on the other ticket had for some reason concentrated their fire upon him continuously. And he said that when he stopped to consider the source of these assaults he felt com plimented
 It had been called to the attention of the speaker that one of his party associates had announced his oppo- sition He said he expected that for he had refused to appoint him to of flee also, when he w4s governor. He said that there are many who wanted him while governor to do things that he did not do, things that they knew he ought not to do, and that from such men either democrats or repub- licans he did not expect support. Moreover. he said that if he is elected to the convention he will probably have to tread on other toes in the same way He said it had been his practice to first secure the approval of his own conscoience and then act accordingly. and if the results were not satisfactory he could not help it. Concluding his remarks in his own behalf. he said his record as governor anu as d IntilDcT OI lilc is a matter of public knowledge If it does not speak in his behalf it would be useless for him to waste words to that end.
 Judge Kibbey then took up the po- litical situation. reviewed it. dis sected it and told of his own attitude toward h He recited that when the news of the passage of the enabling act came he had publicly stated on the stand where he was then speak ing, that the constitutional convention should be composed of men who were not elected on partisan issues and he had not changed his mind But the democracy said, "No. let's get up an excitement and throw dust in the air" and they have done it. Concern- ing the personnel of the democratic ticket he had nothing to say He did not mention the name of a single candidate on the stump during the campaign. He had let them severely alone and let them talk about him.
 They adopted the initiative and ref erendum. For what reason he did not know unless because it had lot of syllables and sounded rythmic He said they ought to set it to music but if they did they seemingly would

never learn what it meant although they might learn to pronounce the syl-
 fables and sing it. The judge said the principle was in reality a substi- ute for a constitution, and later in his argument made his definition very clear. The "inalienable rights" listed in the national constitution by Jeffer- son. life, liberty, pursuit Of happiness. etc, are vouchsafed only by the con stitution. Not even the majority can take them away unless the laws have
 been violated. Since the days of King John and the magma charta the constitution has been the document that has protected the minority as well as the majority. The Declara- ton of Independence does not say that the majority rules but that all JUST POWERS of government are with the consent of the governed Nothing should go into a constitution of any sort except such things as the people are practically agreed upon. The people must rule and they must all be behind their government to make it effective Then he illustrated what representative government is. Few people do anything for themselves directly but delegate their powers. It is SO when they pay their taxes, bur their goods, or attend to almost al, matters, business, political or other wise Every town, county and state officer operates under delegated au thority But the people who must rule in the ultimate have right to change any part Of their governmental system which consists of the eXecu tive, legislative and judicial depart ments, which he proceeded to describe and explain where one is a perfect check on another.
 The initiative and referendum he said, is a legislative act and makes a flimsy rag of the constitution. When the people speak. their latest utterance is law. Were it in the constituption and the people by direct vote enacted a conflicting law it would have to stand regardless of the constitution for it would be a later utterance. With direct legisl'ion there would practically be no constitution. Then he spoke of the failures of the plan in Oregon and Oklahoma and Nevada and of the spectacle those states had presented through the workings of the law. contending that he had made a study of those things and knew whereof he spoke.
 He further pointed out that the in- itiative is a plea for the rule of the people and yet it had been noticed that those who are always yelling for it are always, or nearly so, in the hopeless minority. That is why they want it.
 The speaker next addressed himself to the charge that the Arizona re- publicans are "standpatters." Recit- ing the party principles he declared that anywhere else the platform would be called radical In reality he said the Arizona republicans are of the
 Roosevelt and Taft brand Next he told of the 'knownothingism.' the "greenback craze" "16 to l." and long line of isms that in their day stirred up people to the same pitch of excitement and as quickly passed away. and now it is the initiative and as usual, proposed by the of the people.
 Critics had said he was opposed to the people because he opposed the initiative. On the contrary he opposes it because he believes in the people
