7. RS SPEECH
AT FARGO, N. D.

Colonel Teddy Roosevelt. who has
nearly completed tour Of the west
ern central states, delivered an address
at Fargo, y. D. Monday afternoon.
After his speech was delivered and the
people We're shaking hand, " til him,

the platform OF the car and loudly
asked the colonel who was paying the
expenses Of the trip. Roosevelt told
him that although the question was
an impertinant one, that he had no
objections 10 answering, and said
that the publishing house Of hich he
is one Of the editors is defravng all
expenses. Thprel,pon the stranger
called the eN-presilent liar H. Il.
Immediately gTasred the mans arm.
but the stranger was taken to Jail at
once.
Colonel Roosevelt spoke in part as
follows:
1T IS true OF wage workers, as Of
all other citizens. that most Of their
progress must depend upon their own
initiative and their own efforts New
ertl,eless. there are three different
factors in this progress. There il,
first, the share which the man own
individual qualities must determine.
This is the most important Of all. for
nothing can supply the place Of inai-
vidual capacity. Yet there are two
other factors also of prime import
ance: namely, what can he done by
goyernment-that is. by the instru-
ment through which all the people
work collectively. Wages and other
most important conditions of employ
ment must remain largely outside of
government control: must be left for
adjustment by free contract between
employers and Wage-parners, subject
to legislation which will present con-
ditiOns which compel man or woman
to accept wages representing less than
will insure decent living.
But to attempt to leave this mere
~ to individual action means the ab-
solute destruction Of individualism
for where the individual is so weak
that he, perforce, has to accept what
ever strongly organized body
chooses to give him, his individual Ii
bcrty becomes mere shame and
mockery. 1t is indispensably neces-
sary, in order to preserve to the larg-
est degree our system Of individual
ism, that there should be effective
and organized collective action. The
Wage-earners must act Jointly,
through the process Of collective bar
gaining, in great industrial enter
prises. Only thus can they be put
upon a plane OF economic equality
with their corporate employers. Only
thus is freedom Of contract made Il
real thing and not mere legal fiction.
There are occasional occupations
where this is not necessary, but,
speaking broadly, it is necessary
throughout the great world of organ
lied industry. believe this practise
Of collective bargaining, effective
only through such organizations as
the trade unions, to have been one Of
the most potent forces in the past
century in promoting the progress of
the wage-earners and in securing
larger social progress for humanity

BALLlNGER Is BITTER
AGAINST DETRACT0RS
Secretary Says He Will Continue
in Same Path

SEATTLE, Sept 7.-Secretary of
the Interior Ballinger at the Arctic club
smoker in honor of Secretary Nagel
and Attorney General Wickersham to-
night, spoke bitterly of his detractors.
with my consciousness of rectitude
in every act, public and private, and
with my determination to go forward
in the same path, 1 do not fear the
criticism of any man or set of men,"
said the secretary.
1T is a time for men to stand by
the laws and institutions of our IA
theirs. From the head of the adminis-
tration through all departments there
is a determination to uphold the con-
stitution and laws and hand them
down unimpaired. 1t has been said
the criticism of me, whether true or
untrue, has made me unfit to hold Of
flee. If this is the case, then every
public man may be disqualified by the
attacks of the disingenuous, the hypo-
critic and the fanatic. I don't propose
to enter a plea of guilty, because there
is not one particle of truth in all the
allegations brought against me, and 1
shall take none of your time in MAX
ing a defense, for in this community 1
need no Defense"

CROP GROWING CONDITIONS
GOOD DURING PAST WEEK
Rains in Many States Are of
Benefit to Farmers

WASHINGTON, Sept. Z. - Crop
growing conditions during the last
week have been generally favorable
throughout the country, according to
the national weekly weather bulletin
issued by the department Of agrtcul-
ture today. The report says:
I'm the corn growing states good
rains occurred in practically all dis
tricts which were beneficial in the
main, especially in the extreme west

but in the central portions of the belt
drier, warmer weather is expected.
Throughout the districts west and
including the Rocky mountain region
the weather continued very dry ex-

Secretary of Interior Is Found Guilty

adoption of resolutions that practi
cally decided the case were made. The
resolutions adopted represented the
views of only four Democrats and one
insurgent Republican.
SAYS REPORT NOT FAIR
"Such a hurried report rushed
through in this manner and under these
circumstances by only five of the
twelve members of the committee can
be of little value to fair-minded and
reasonable men. 1t is quite probable
that 1t was nothing more than the
play of party politics of the grossest
kind.
"The chairman of the committee, af-
ter Senator Sutherland and Mr.. Nc
Call had retired could have justly ruled
that quorum not being present, the
only motion in order was a motion to
adjourn. He felt, however, under
the circumstances, inasmuch as the five
members were so anxious to have their
views exploited in that way, that 1t
was best to give them a full opportu-
nifty and ample rope in order to show
the animus of which they were pos
sessed.
1T is we'll known in parliamentary
law that when quorum Is not pres
ent no business can be transacted but
to adjourn"
Senator Sutherland of Utah. Repub-
lican, in his statement referred to the
absence of Congressman DENLY and
Olmstead and Senator Root.
"In view of the fact that the issues
involved were of the utmost gravity
and that the committee had never met
for a single moments deliberatlon on
the case, felt that fairness and pro-
priety demanded we should do no less
than await the coming of these mem
bers before making a final decision. l
was astounded, therefore, when mem
ber of the committee Immediately upon
the assembling of the committee to-
day offered a series of resolutions con-
stituting a final determination and
moved their adoption"
DEMOCRAT UPHoLDs REPORT
Representative James M. Graham of
Illinois, Democrat, said:
"In a spirit of fairness L voted to
take a recess till this morning to give
two other members time to reach this
city. It was stated these two had
wired they would be here some time
next Friday. We asked for an assur-
ance that by Friday those members
present would consent to take up the
matter of a report and that it should
be released for the benefit of the pub
lie. But I could get no such assur-
ance.
mo satisfactory reason has been
given for the absence of two members.
We waited three days for the alb
sentees. Should we keep on waiting
indefinitely? The gravity of the is
sues is not sufficient reason for in
definite delay.
almost ten weeks gave sufficient
time to deliberate and decide on the
matter, important as 1t is, and a charge
that a desire for partisan advantage
was the cause for action today might
be met fairly by a suggestion that the
delay sought was as likely to be for
the purpose of gaining such advantage
for further consideration of matter
already fully considered.
"There was a quorum here and that
was enough. 1t was simply the trans
action of public business in the ordi-
nary way by majority of a quorum. :"

PINCHOT REFUSES TO
COMMENT ON FINDINGS

ST. PAUL, Sept. 7.-Gifford Pinchot
was in his room at hotel with his
teeth in a juicy pear when the first
report that the investigating commit
tee had decided against Ballinger was
told him.
He withdrew his teeth quietly,
looked intently at the reporter who
bore the news and asked for all par
ticulars regarding the committees do
ings.
Beyond saying "That is very inter-
esting news" he had absolutely moth
ing to say.
Governor Hay of washington, who
upheld Ballinger to Governor Stubbs
of Kansas when the latter declared
the secretary should be 'kicked out of
office" also refused to make any COM
ment.
The resolution adopted was almost
the sole topic of conversation tonight
by delegates to the conservation con-
gress.

SHEEP AND CATTLE NOT
SUFFERING FROM DROUGHT

DENVER, July 14.-There is no wide
spread suffering among sheep on the
Colorado ranges as the result of
drought and the grasshopper scourge,
according to the Colorado state board
of livestock inspection. Nor have
members of the board heard of any
such condition in other western states.
as is indicated by eastern reports.
At the Denver branch of the national
forestry service, however, it was said
this afternoon that District Forester
Smith Riley had gone to Wyoming in
response to an appeal from stockmen
of that state to open the Black Hills
reserves to livestock. At the offices
it was said no general complaint from
the drought had been made by stock
men.
Leading cattlemen Of Denver assert
that cattle throughout the west are
not suffering from either drought or
grasshoppers, and they doubt if sheep
are seriously affected. The grasshop-
pers. they say, attack grains and do
little damage to the ranges. As for
drought, the late winter rains were so
plentiful that grazing lands got a
start sufficient to tide them over the
long period of summer ardity.
A result of the drought, in the case
of both sheep and cattle has been to
hurry the stock to market earlier than
usual, stockmen say.

HELENA, Mont, July 14.-Scores of

from adjoining states comes news of
the destruction of timber by flames,
stories of gallant warfare by forest

Three hundred men are battling to

DROUGHT THREATENS RUIN
TO NORTHWEST SHEEPMEN

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Drought
in the northwest is seriously affecting
the cattlemen. threatening them with
great loss and possibly with financial
ruin. The lack of rain and a scourge
of grasshoppers have goaded a number
of sheep growers of Montana to make
an urgent telegraphic appeal to the
forest service that the Bear Tooth and
Absaroka national forest reserves be
thrown open to the flocks.
Associate Forester Potter today tele-
graphed the district forester at Mis-
soula, instructing him to offer all re-
lief possible without injury to the
forests,
The Bear Tooth reserves already ac-
commodate $4,000 head of sheep, and
10000 are being grazed in the Absa-
roka. The cattlemen living adjacent to
the reserves claim that 100 900 addi-
tional head can be installed on the
range.
Secretary Wilson appealed to the
railroad companies to give the sheep
men in Montana special rates in order
to permit of the movement of starving
sheep to better ranges. He has au-
thorized an increase of 14,700 head Of
sheep in the Colville forest in Wash
ingtOn.
