Col. Roosevelt Says thai Is the Supreme Problem Conlronting the
Citizens ol America—He Is Opposed to Corporations
Controlling Our Natural Resources.
L'nlted Press Special.
St. Paul Minn. Sept. 6.—Col. }
Roosevelt speaking here today said:
America's reputation for effici-
ency stands deservedly high through- j
out the world. We are efficient j
probably to the full limit that any^
nation can attain by the methods j
hitherto used. There is great rea-
son to be proud of our achievements
and yet no reason to believe that
we cannot excel our past. Through
a practically unrestrained individual-
ism we have reached a pitch of liter-
ally unexampled material prosperity;
although the distribution of this
prosperity leaves much to be desired
from the standpoint of justice and
fair dealing. But we have not only
allowed the individual a free hand
which was in the main right; we
have also allowed great corporations
to act as though they were individ-
uals and 4o exercise the rights of
individuals in additon to using the
vast combined power of high or-
ganization and enormous wealth for
their own advantage. This develop-
ment of corporate action it is true
Is doubtless in large part n sopnsible
for the gigantic development of our
natural resources but it Is not less
responsible for waste destruction
and monopoly on an equally ;cigantlc
scale.
Waterways.
One of the greatest of our conser-
vation problems is the wise and
prompt development and use of the
waterways of this nation. The Twin
Cities lying as they do at the head-'
waters of the .Mississippi are n>t
u >11 tV.e direct lino of the proposed
L: les to the Gulf Deep Waterway.
Yet they are deeply interested in its'
prompt completion as well as in the
dee. ; and regulation of thf^
Missi-.· Ί to the mouth of the·
Missou : ; and to the Gulf'
In nearly every river city from St.
Paul to the gulf the water front is
controlled by the railways. Near ·
every artificial waterway in the
United States either directly or in-
directly is under the same control.
It goes without saying that (unless
the people prevent it in advance) the
railways will attempt to take con-
trol of our waterways as fast as they
are improved and completed; nor
would I blame them if we the peo-
ple. are supine in the matter. We
must see to it that adequate terrain- j
als are provided in every city and
town on every improved waterway
terminals open under reasonable1
conditions to the use of every citi-
zen. and rigidly protected against
monopoly: and we must compel rail-
ways to co-operate with the water-
ways continuously effectivel; . and
under reasonable conditions.
Drainage.
\\ here tho states are unwilling or
unable to undertake it. the drainag ·
of swamp and overflow lands by the
federal government is a wise and
necessary measure. .Much of it mast'
be done by the nation in any case
as an Integral part of inland water-
way development it affords a most
promising field for co-operation be-
tween the states and the nation.
The National Forests.
The people of the United States
believe in the complete and rounded
development of inland waterways fo.
all the useful purposes they can be
niade to serve. They believe also in
forest protection and forest exten-
sion. The fight for our national fo-
ests in the west has been won. Af-
ter a campaign in which the women
of Minnesota did work which should
secure them the perpetual gratitude
of their state Minnesota won her na-
tional forest and will keep it; but
the fight to create the southern Ap-
palachian and White Mountain for-
ests in the east is not yet over. Thi
bill has passed the House and will
come before the senate for a vote
next February. The people of th?
I'nited States regardless of party or
section should stand solidly behind
it and see that their representatives
do likewise.
A Country Life Institute.
The Investigations of the Oounfrv
Life Commission have led the farm-
ers of this country to realize thr-t
they have not been getting their fair
share of progress and all that it
brings. Some of our farming com-
munities in the Mississippi Valley
and in the Middle West have mado
marvelous progress yet even Λ ·
beet of them like communities of ev-
ery other kind are not beyond im-
provement while much needs to lie
done In some other sections to Im-
prove country life. As yet we know
comparatively little of the besie facts
of rural civilization. The means lor
better farming we have studied with
care but to better living on the
farm and to better business on the
farm the farmers themselves nave
given scant attention. One o' the
most urgent needs of our civilization
is that the farmers themselves stiouU;
undertake to get for themselves a
better knowledge along these li^cs
and then apply it.
Humiin Efficiency.
As a people we have yet to learn
to economize. One of the virtues
we Americans most need is thrift. It
is a mere truism to say that luxury
and extravagance are not good for π
nation. So far as they affect char-
acter the loss they cause may be be-
yond computation. Rut in the ma-
terial sense there Is a loss greater
than is caused by both extravagance
and luxury put together. I mean
the needless useless and excessive
loss to our people from premature
death and avoidable diseases. Whol-
ly apart from the grief the suffer-
ing and the wretchedness which they
cause the material loss each year
has been calculated at nearly twice
what it costs to run the Federal gov-
ernment. In addition to the stalV
and city health officers and organiza-
tions there is urgently needed a
federal bureau of health to act so
far as the national government prop-
erly may to relieve our people from
this dreadfud burden.
I'aii-Aiiicricaii ( "onservat i<>n.
When the government of the
United States awoke to the idea or
conservation and saw that it was
good it lost no time in communicat-
ing the advantages of the new point
of view to its immediate neighbors
among the nations. A North Ameri-
can conservation conference was
held in Washington and the co-
operation of Canada and Mexico in
the great problem of developing the
resources of the continent for the
benefit of its people was asked and
promised. The nations upon our
northern and southern boundaries
wisely realized that their opportunity
to conserve the natural resources
was better than ours because with
them destruction and monopolization
had not gone so far as they had
with us. So it is with the Republics
of Central and South America. Ob-
viously they are on the verge of a
period of great material progress.
The development of their natural re-
sources their forests their mines
their water and their soilr: wll cre-
ate enormous wealth. It is to the
mutual interest of the United States
? ad our sister American Republics
t.iat this development should be
visely done. Our manufacturing in-
dustries offer a market for more and
more of their natural "vealth and
raw material while they will increas-
ingly desire to meet that demand in
commercial exchange. The more we
bt>. froir> them the more we shall
sell to them. Their prosperity Is In-
separably involved with our own.
State ιιι:(Ι Keilera- control. ι
But while wg of the United States
:;h> anxious as I believe we are able
to be of assistance to others there
;;re piobl< nis of our own which we
must not overlook. One of the most
important Conservation questions of
the moment relates to the control
of water power monopoly in the
public interest. There is apparent
to the judicious observer a distinct
tendency on the part of our oppo-
nents to cloud the issue by ralshig
the question of State against Fed-
eral jurisdiction. We are ready to
meet that issue if it is forccd upon
us. Hut there is no hope for the
plain people in such conflicts of Ju- J
risdirtion. The essential question is
one of hair-splitting legal technical-ί
ities. It Is simply this: Who can
best regulate the special interests
for the public good? Moat of the
predatory corporations are inter-
State or have inter-State affiliations.
Therefore they are largely out of
reach of effective State control and
fall of necessity within the Federal
jurisdiction. One of the prime ob-
jects of those among them that are
grasping and greedy Is to avoid any
effective control either by State or
Nation; and they advocate at this
time State control simply because
they believe it to be the least ef-
fective. In the great fight of the
people to drive the special interests
' from the domination of our Govern-
1 ment the Nation is stronger and
' its jurisdiction Is more effective than
I that of any state. The most ef-
' fective weapon against these great
corporations most of which are fi-
nanced and owned on the Atlantic
coast will t>»· Federal laws and the
Federal executive. That Is why r
so strongly oppose the demand to
turn these matters over to the States.
It is fundamentally a demand against
the Interest of the plain people of
the people of small means against
the Interest of our children and our
children's children; and It Is pri-
marily In the interest of the greaf
corporations which desire to escape
all Government control.
The Conservât ion l 'iglit.
One of the difficulties in putting
into practice the Conservation idea
is that the field to which it applies
is constantly grow ing in the publi '
mind. It has been no slight task
to hriiig before 100000000 people
a great conception like that of Con-
servation and convince them tha! il
is right. This much we have acrma-
pliehed. But there remains much to
be cleared up and many misunder-
standings to he removed. These
misunderstandings are due in part
at least to direct misrepresentation
by the men to whose interest it is
that Conservation should not prop
per. For example we find it con-
stantly said by men who should
know better that temporary with-
drawals such as the withdrawals of
coal lands will permanently check
development. Yet the fact that
these withdrawals have no purpose
except to ' prevent the coal lands
from passing into private ownership
until Congress can pass laws to open
them to development under condi-
tions iust alike to the public and to
the men who do the developing. If
there is delay the responsibility for
it rests not on the men who made
the withdrawals to protect the pub-
lic interest but on those who pre-
vent Congress from passing wise
legislation and se putting an en !
to the need for withdrawals.
('<>n< lusion.
It is our duty and our desire to
make this land of ours a better home
for the race but our duty does not
stop there. We must also work for
a better Nation to live in this better
land. The development and conser-
vation of our National character
and our free institutions must so
hand in hand ylth the development
and conservation of our natural re-
sources which the Governor's Con-
ference so well called the founda-
tions of our prosperity. Whatever
progress we may ir ike as a Nation
whatever wealth we may accumulate
however far we may push mechan-
ical development and production
we shall never reach a point where
our welfare can depend In the last
analysis on anything but honesty
courage loyalty and good citizenship.
The homely virtues are the lasting
virtues and the road which leads
to them is the road to genuine and
lasting success.
What this country needs is what
every free country must set before
it as the great goal toward which
it works—an equal opportunity for
life liberty and the pursuit of hap-
piness for every one of its citizens.
To achieve this end we must put a
slop to the improper political domin-
ion no less than to improper eco-
nomic dominion of the great special
interests. This country its natural
resources its natural advantages
its opportunities and its institutions
belong to all its citizens. They can-
not be enjoyed fully and freely un-
der any government In which the
special interests as such have a voice.
The supreme political task of our
day. the indispensable condition of
National efficiency and National wel-
fare is to drive the special inter-
ests out of our public life.

Oakland City Intl. Aug. 6.—Ed
II. Baker owner of a flour mill in
this city is busy unraveling a mys-
tery of his life which makes him
(lie richer by $25000.
Mr. Ôbker's parents were resident-
of Natchez Miss. but he was bum
in Vincennes Ind. while his mother
was visiting relatives there. At the
age of three months he was taken
back to Natchez but his mother
died on the boat during this trip.
Soon after her death ht· was brought
back to Vincennes and cared for by
an aunt without knowing the where-
abouts of his father. None of his
relatives knew where his fat lier was
and the child lost all trace of him.
In 1901 Capt. H. L. Baker a bus-
iness man of Natchez Miss. cam.·
to Vincennes on a hunt for Kd il.
lîaker. Ile failed to find him and
after a short stay at Vincennes re-
turned to his southern home. A
short time afterward he learned that
Kd II. Maker lived here and he sent
him an invitation to visit Natche:..
representing that he was Mr. Ba-
ker's uncle. The visit was made and
the "uncle" treated him with every
consideration giving him photo-
graphs of his mother and imparting
much information concerning her.
He persistently adhered however i-.j
his statement that he was only an
uncle.
In 1 9 υ Γι Capt. Maker visite 1 Ed H.
Maker In this city and took every
care to ascertain as much of his his-
tory as possible and it was ι1ι··η
that Mr. Maker began to suspect that
the "uncle" was In reality his father.
Capt. Baker died at Natchez last
month leaving an estate valued ai
$75000.
Ed H. Baker has returned from π
visit to Natchez and while there he
found much to establish the identity
of his parents among other things
the grave of his mother. The tomb-
stone was missing from the grave
but the old sexton in charge salt»
it was buried in the grave. This
was taken up and on it was found
his mother's name. The old inn'i
said that the late Capt. II. L. Baker
had given him orders to care for
the grave as long as he lived say-
ing that his wife was buried there.
Other old residents of Natchez re-
member a little boy was sent back
north aud other incidents that
tend to establish Mr. Baker's claim
make the case so strong that lie
thinks there will be no difficulty
proving that he is the son.
Two sisters of Mr. Baker were
found by htm one living at Natche*
and the othr In New Orleans. Bull
has been filed in the chancery court
at Natchez for a division of the es-
tate and recognition of Ed H. Bake!
as the son of Capt. H. L. Baker
