Col. Roosevelt Says That IS

Task Of the Day
SEVERAL BRANCHES.
BRANCHES
OF the Great Conservation
Movement Are Discussed
in Detail by Him.

ST PAUL, Mimi. Sept. 6--This Is
Roosevelt Day in the Twin Cities.
Col. Roosevelt arrived In Minneapolis
at o'clock this morning and after
taking breakfast he was escorted to
st. Paul. where he was scheduled to
make two addresses. one before the
National Conservation Congress In
the morning and one at tlleS state fair
grounds in the afternoon.
Roosevelt was greeted by crowds
of cheering men. women and children
all along the entire route OF the trip
from Minneapolis to the state capi-
toll at st. Paul.
Roosevelt's speech on conservation.
delivered today at the National Com
servation Congress, received the wild
est applause. 1t was several minutes
after he arose to speak before he
could make himself heard. SO persis-
tentIy did the throng cheer him.
In his speech Roosevelt outlined his
ideas as to conservation, He paid Al
compliment to President Taft when he
said that much he would have to say
on the subject of conservation would
be but repetition of what was so adj
mirably said from the same platform
yesterday. This was received with
cheers.

ST. PAUL Mimi. Sept. 6.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt delivered the follow
ting address in this city today:
Americas reputation for efficiency
stands deservedIy high throughout the
world. we are efficient probably to
the full limit that any nation can at.
tain by the methods hitherto used.
There Is great reason to be proud of
our achievements, and yet no reason
to believe that we cannot excel our
past. Through a practically unre-
strained Individualism, we have reach
ed a pitch. of literally uneSampled
material prosperity; although the dis
tributlon of this prosperity leaves
much to be desired from the stand
point of justice and fair dealing. But
we have not only allowed the indl-
vrdual a free hand, whicN was in the
main right; we haye also allowed
great corporations to act as though
they were individuals, and to exercise
the rights of individuals, in addition
to using the vast combined power of
high organization and enormous
wealth J,r their own advantage. This
development of corporate action 1t
is true, is doubtless in large part re-

ton and monopoly on an equally gil
gantlc scale.
The method Of reckless and uncon-
troIled private use and waste has
done for us all the good it ever can.
and It is time to put an end to 1t be-
fore 1t does all the evil it easily may.
We have passed the time when heed
less waste and destruction, and arro-
CANT monopoly, are any longer. per-
nfssibIe Henceforth we must seek
national efficiency by new and bet
ter way, by the way of the orderly
development and use, coupled with
the preservation, Of our national re-
sources, by making the most of what
we have for the benefit of all of US.
instead OF leaving the sources OF ma
terial prosperity open to indiscrlml-
nate exploitation. These are some OF
the reasons why it Is wise that we
should abandon the old point OF VIEW

one of the greatest of our conser-

HUSBAND AND WIFE
SENTENCED TO GALLONS

De Queen, Ark, Nov. 19.-In the
Circuit Court here this afternoon a
Jury returned a verdict for murder
in the first degree against John Ford
and his wife, Leila Ford, tried for
the killing of William Nichols near
this place on September 80. Judge
Cowling immediately sentenced both
to be hanged on January 20.
The Fords we're tenants Of Mich
OILS, who was former member of
the Arkansas Legislature. The
tragedy resulted from Nichols driv~
ing across a pea patch belonging to
the Fords to get to a hay barn which
he had reserved.
The testimony showed that Mich
OILS was stabbed to death with a knife
by Ford and that Mrs. Ford aided
him in the crime.

CHILD DRINKS HALF PINT
OF WHISIEEY AND DIES

AS the result of having drank a
half pint of whiskey, William, the
four-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lum Tong, of the Rome neighbor-
hood, Daviess county, died at 8
O'Clock Friday night of nervous pros
tration, after suffering intensely for
several hours.
Friday morning, while everyone
was out of the room, the boy climbed
up to the fireplace, and, securing a
half-pint bottle filled with whiskey,
drank the contents. A few minutes
later he was found by his mother in
stupor, from which he never raj
lied. Although physicians worked
with the boy for a number of hours,
it was evident from the first that his
life could not be saved.

Taught the Republican
Party Leaders.
THE PAYNE ALDRICH TARIFF
Was the BurdenSOmeMillStOne
That Hung Around the
Party'S Neck.
THE MORAL OF THE LESSON

Under the first named headline, the
Chicago Record-Herald, strong in
dependent newspaper, with Repub-
lican tendencies, tells the Republic
ans plainly what brought about their
defeat in the recent elections. 1t
says:
1t is agreed on all sides that the
Democratic landslide was caused by
the Payne-Aldrich tariff to a greater
extent than by any or all of the 9th
er combined sins of the party in pow
er-the Ballinger muddle, the boy
cotting of the insurgents, the bitter
ness over the Wickersham railroad
bill, etc. When men like Dolliver
declared the tariff revision of 1909
to be a hoax second only to the Cook
pole claim, the knell of Republican
control Of the House was sounded.
The Democrats did not need better
campaign literature than that which
the insurgents so freely furnished
and they did not even try to better
1t.
Verify, there are blunders that are
worse than crimes. Suppose the
President had vetoed the hoax" in
ringing message, reminding the reg
ulars of their pledges, reaffirming
the elementary moralities and de-
handing a real revision of the sched-
ules and rates! Or suppose he had
served notice on the bourbon stand
patters that a veto awaited any bill
that was not an honest redemption
of the revision downward pledge!
How the country would have been
stirred to admiration, and how ir-
resistible it's support would have
been!
The acceptance of the hoax" the
futile and irritating apologies that
followed, the treatment of the in
surgents, the Iowa, Kansas and Wis
consin populations of the tariff and
the administration-th things in
evitably led to the party disaster OF
Tuesday.
And the moral? Il is simply the
old moral of keeping faith, of attend
ing to popular grievances and needs,
of bearing in mind that what voters
do they can undo, and that no party
can afford to become arrogant or
cock-sure. Parties are instruments
and tools; the men who use the in
struments have instincts, emotions
and reason. No party should forget
that ours is a government of the peo-
pie and that in dealing with inteli-
gent democracies, honesty is the best
policy.

A general good time was reported.
We doubt whether that banquet

An Historic Enolish Castle.

Longleat castle. which is said to be
the first well built house in England,
was erected by Sir John Thyme, and
it's construction occupied twelve years.
from January. 1867. until 1879. The
first royal visitor TO Sir Johns noble
mansion was Queen Elizabeth. and the
story runs that the owner was not
very anxious for his sovereign TO see
his home, as she might ask him where
he obtained the money to build so
stately a house. Sir John Thyme,
who was knighted after the battle Of
Pinkie, was the factotum Of the Pro-
