ABIZONA REPUBLICAN IS It ft. -ft" ROOSEVELT TALKS TO COLORADO CATTLEMEN ON HIS FAVORITE THEME OF CONSERVATIO Oy Conservation He Does Not Mean That Resources Shall Be Locked Dp For a Future Generation THERE SHOULD BE AN INTELLIGENT DEVELOPMENT Generally Natural Resources Should Be Under National Control, But In Cases Where Control Naturally Belongs to the States It Should Be Well Defined and Exercised So That There Would Be No Neutral Ground or No-Man's Land Denver, Aug.

29. Theodore Roosevelt arrived in the city this morning from Cheyenne to address the Colorado Live Stock owners' association In response to an invitation tendered him during hi? absence in Africa. Colonel Roosevelt was met on his arrival many of his old comrades-at-arms, the Rough Riders, who formed a parade with their old commander at the head. After his entertainment by the cowboys he was given a luncheon by the Denver Press club, among whose guests were Governor Shafrolh and Mayor Speer. A little later he met the assembled cattlemen at the Auditorium and addressed them on the subject of conservation.

Colonel Roosevelt said: This country lias shown definite signs of waking up to the absolute necessity of handling its natural resources with foresight and common sense. The conservation question has three- sidofi. In the first place, the needless "waste of natural resources must be stopped. It is rapidly becoming a well settled policy of this people' that we of this generation hold the lead for the next generation, and not exclusively for our own selfish enjoyment. Just as he farmer is a good citizen If he leaves his farm improved and not impaired for his children, and a bad citizcii if he skins the land in his own selfish interest, so the nation behaves well if it treatos the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation, increased and not impaired in value, and 1k- haves badly if it leaves the land poor-.

er to those who come after us. "In the second place, the natural resources must be developed promptly, completely, and in orderly fashion. It is not conservation to leave the natural resources undeveloped. DEVELOPMENT ESSENTIAL. "Development is an Indispensable part of the conservation- plan.

The forests, the mines, the water powers and the land itself must all be put to use. Those who assert that conserva tion proposes to tie them up, depriving this generation of their benefits In order to hand them down untouched to the next, miss the whole point of the conservation idea. Conservation does not mean the depriving of the men of today of their natural rights in the natural resources of the land. All it means Is that wo of this generation snail so use our rights as not to deprive those who come after us of their natural rights in their turn. "In the third place, so far as possible, these resources must kapt for the whole people and not handed over for exploitation to single individuals.

We do not intend to discourage individual enterprise by unwisely diminishing the reward for that enterprise. On the contrary, we believe that the men of exceptional abilities should have exceptional rewards up to a point where the reward becomes disproportionate to the service, up: to the point where the abilities are used to the detriment of the people as a whole. "We are for the liberty of the individual up to and not beyond the point where it becomes inconsistent with the welfare of the community. Tims, our consistent aim is to favor the actual settlcr-the" man who takes as much of the public domain as lie himself can cultivate and there makes a permanent hornet for his children who come after him; but we are against the man, no matter what his ability, who tries to monopolize large masses of public land. WHICH SHALL CONTROL? "Now, to preserve the general welfare, to see to it that the rights of the public are protected, and the liberty of the individual secured and encouraged so long as consistent with his welfare, and curbed when it becomes inconsistent therewith.

It Is necessary to invoke the aid of thp government. There are points in which this governmental aid can best be rendered bv the that i3, where the exercise of state's rights helps to--ecure popular rights; and as to these I believe in state's rights. But there are large classes of cases where only the authority of the national government will secure the rights of the people, and where this is the case 1 am a convinced and a thorough-going believer in the rights of the national government. Big business, for instance, is no longer an affair of the state; big business has become nation-allezd, and the only effective way of controlling and directing it and preventing abuses in connection with it, is by having the people nationalize this control lit. order to prevent their rnloltea by the individuals -who have, nationalized the business.

a-scale LUiUUIkv large to warrant any control over it by Mhe government is nowadays interstate or foreign commerce: and until this fact Is heartily acknowledged and acted upon by both courts and legislative bodies, national and state alike, the people will suffer. WHERE STATE SHOULD ACT. "In the matter at conservation, I heartily approve of state action where, under our form of government, the state only has the power to act. I cordially join with those who desire to see the state, within its own sphere, take the most advanced position in the whole matter of conservation. I have taken exactly this attitude in my own 3tate of New York.

"Where the state alone had power to act, I have done all I could to get it to act in the most advanced manner; and where the nation could act, I have done all I could to get national action in the same direction. Unfortunately, in the east we have in this matter paid thepenalty of not having our forest land under national control; arid the penalty has been severe. Most of the states although they are old states have not protected their forests, each failing to act by Itself, because the" action was really the common con cern of all; and where action is the 'common concern of all, experience has shown that it can only be properly undertaken by the national government. "As a result of the impossibility of getting sucli wise action by the several statu governments in the east, we are doing our best to get national legislation under which the national government, at the expense of millions of dollars, shall undertake to do as regards the Appalachian and White mountains of the east what it Is now doing in the Rocky Mountains here out west. It would be both a calamity and an absurdity for the national government now to do in the west the very thing that at a heavy pecuniary cost it is trying to undo in the east.

By actual experience in the east we have found to our cost that the nation, and not the several states, can best guard the interests of the people in the matter of the forests and the waters, and that if it fails 4o attempt this duty at the outset it will later on have to pay heavily in order to be allowed to take up the work, which, because it is done so late, cannot be so well done as if it had been begun earlier. VATER POWER SITES. "Take the question of the control of the water power sites. The enormous importance of water power sites to the future industrial development of this country has only been realized within a very few years. Unfortunately, the realization has come too late as regards many of the power sites; hut many yet remain with which our hands are free to deal.

We should make it our duty to see that hereafter the power sites are kept under the control of the general government, for the use of the people as a whole. The fee should remain with ithe people as a whole, while the use is leased on terms which shall secure an ample reward to the lessees, whicli shall encourage the development and use of the water power, but which shall not permit a permanent monopoly nor permit the development to be anti-social, to be in any respect hostile to the public good. The nation alone has the power to do tills effectively, and it is for this reason that you will find these corporations which wish to gain improper advan- tage and to be freed from efficient control on the part of the public doing all that they can to secure the substitution of state for" national ac- tion. ADVOCATES OF STATES' RIGHTS "There Is something fairly comic in the appeal made by many of these merf in favor of state control, when you, realize that the great corporations seeking the" privileges of developing the water power any given state arc at least as apt to be owned outside of the state as within In this country, nowadays, capital has a national and not a state use. The great corporations, which arc managed and largely owned In the older states, are those which are most in evidence in deveolping and using the mines and water power and forests of the new territories and the new states, from Alaska to Arizona.

Took a Fall Out of Highest Court and Denounced Demagogues. Denver, Aug. 29. Unqualified endorsement of Theodore Roosevelt was given today by Governor Shaf-roth and Mayor Speer, both of whom are democrats.

This endorsement was given in the presence of thousands of men and women assembled in the great auditorium which was the scene of the last democratic national convention. An enthusiastic ovation was given Colonel Roosevelt by the people of this state, far more marked than that received by him at any other place (luring the present Journey through the west. "A great majority of the republicans throughout the west and many democrats will not be silent until they see you at the helm of this great nation." declared Mayor Speer in addressing Colonel Roosevelt. "Von are loved because you are not controlled: you are independent and your honesty of purpose appeals to the heart. Your courage has made your opponents wonder what you will do next.

You have work to do; wrongs to wright. May your life be spared to accomplish the great work which the American people believe you are destined to perforin." Governor Shafroth was hardly less enthusiastic in his reference to the wauui. oin-iiKiiiK oi uiret; essfiium Speaking qualities, honesty, courage and per severance, we have courage of Lin coin, the courage of Jackson and the perseverance of Grant embodied in Theodore Roosevelt." These references to Colonel Roose velt just before his presentation to the great audience, called forth a demonstration which resembled that given a successful candidate on the occasion of a national convention. Throughout his speecli on conservation Colonel Roosevelt, was frequently interrupted by applause. Acts of the supreme court of the United States were sharply criticised today by Colonel Roosevelt in an address in the state capitol here before the Colorado legislature.

He cited tvo decisions by the supreme court which he declared were contrary to tlieprinciples of democracy, and he "said emphatically that If these decisions Indicated the permanent attitude of the court, the entire American system of popular government would be upset. Colonel Roosevelt's speech before the legislature was one of five which lie delivered in Denver today. Everywhere he Went he was greeted by cheering multitudes. He added that he was taken utterly by surprise by the size of the crowds which turned out to greet him. From the moment he arrived here until he went to bed Colonel Roosevelt kept on the move.

In addition to his speech in the auditorium under the auspices of the Colorado Livestock Association and his speech before the legislature, he addressed the Spanish war veterans, who are holding a national encampment here. He was the guest of the Livestock association at a banquet given this evening and talked to the Denver Press Club at a 'chuck wagon" luncheon. In addition to his remarks before the legislature concerning the supreme court. Colonel Roosevelt denounced dishonest legislatures and demagogues. He scored men of wealth who gain their riches at the expense of the people, and attacked untruthful newspapers and magazines and praised periodicals and newspapers which, he said, boldly told truth in order to purify the body politic.

One' of the previous speakers mentioned knowing Jiim while he was po lice commissioner in New York, and in referring to that acquaintance Colonel Roosevelt said: "When I was made police commissioner of New York I was ushered into offiie with great acclaim. I said I was going to try to enforce laws and New York smiled and said, 'Go ahead. Alter 90 days New York waked up to the fact that It was being treated on a basis of morality It had never hoped to attain. New York never realized that it could be as good as It was. New York was in a ferment until the judges came tn the rescue of the people.

They decided that seventeen beers arid one pretzel made a meal and Naw York breathed freely again. Ever since, that time Newv York has felt an alert interest In ihe and an ardent desire to see me elected to any office that would take mn away from there." WEATHER TODAY. Washington, Aug. 29.

Accord ing to C. A. Ilarri, Canadian trade commissioner to Japan, who arrived here from Tokio today, Japan has formally given Great Britain one year's notice of renouncing the com mercial treaty, negotiated ten years ago to which Canada consequently became a part. This is in accordance with the in tention of Japan to negotiate new ararngements in harmony with the proposed higher protective tariff. BACK FROM REGION OF GAME AND FISH Phoenix Party Returns From Pleasant 4 Mountain Expedition.

After having enjoyed a fishing, hunting and camping expedition covering a period of over six weeks, William Wallace, a draughtsman in the city wafer department; R. N. Gates, the New York store, and C. Yapple, returned to Phoenix! yesterday. The IKirty left here on uuly 12, driving overland through Roosevelt and Globe, on up to Rice and across tli2 moun tainous section of Fort Ajiaehe.

They camped within six miles of the base of old Baldy mountain, where they found conditions ideal. Perched away up there In the White mountains at the extreme head of the White river, they enjoyed such fishing as It Is not the lot of every lover of the sport to enpounter. They rtport that they caught so many speckled trout that they saved only the larger ones. Out of one day catch, they "jerked" or dried a supply which will last them here for many a day. While they saw -no deer or antelope.

they saw plenty of grouse, wi'd turkey and many bears.

Two Forest Fires Threatening Great Damage. Dead wood, S. Two forest fires of threatening proportions broke out this nfternoon in the Black Hills forest reserve at Red fern and Fremont tonight.

Fanned by a strong wind they are raging eastward through some of the best timber. Several hundred soldiers and 200 foresters are on the way to fight the flames. -c COUNTRY DOG DAZED IN BUSY PHOENIX STREETS Leads Policeman Merry Chase, Is Captured and Finally Shot A large yellow dog came In from the country yesterday to see the sights. The busy streets and rushing automobiles set the animal's head in a whirl and it began acting queer- ly. The dog ran up one street and then down another and finally attracted acrowd of other dogs anx ious to learn the why of It.

Any effort upon the' part of bystanders to capture the visiting canine were met with a display of teeth and snarls. Finally the police were called in. Officer John Perrln armed with two ropes and accompanied by Frank Smith went down to the Commercial corral and found the dog still holding its own. Officer Perrin stole up to the dog and made a gallant effort to throw the rope about its neck. Smith also, made an equally gallant effort to lasso the animal from the other side.

The ropes became tangled, one with the other and the dog ran away. Smith Is fleet-footed and it was proved that the dog was Ilkew.ise speedy. Smith started after the dog and finally rounded it up just back of the Troy laundry. It took refugo under a wagon. Officer Perrin arrived a.

few yards behind Smith and the efforts to capture the dog were renewed. Finally after sundry vicious snaps had been made by the dog at the would-be captors, a rope slipped over the animal's head and then another, and the chase was over. The thoroughly exhausted dog -now refused to budge another step, and leaving the prisoner In charge of Smith, Officer Perrin went to the city hall and securing a wheelbarrow, and a Mexican started back. The dog was. given a free ride.

It will be of a non-partisan char acter as Mr. Hitchcock had deter mined before coming to the territory that he would not speak on politi cal- subjects.

He is desirous of meet ing as many citizens of Phoenix and vicinity as ixjssible during his brie stay in the city and therefore every body is Invited. The reception will The non-partisan character of the gathering will be accentuated by the co-operation of the board of trade ir this expression of the people of Phoenix or their appreciation of the efforts of Mr. Hitchcock in behalf of statehood, for it may well be doubted that but for his insistence and powerful influence the statehood hill would never have become a law over the objections of many senators known to be unfriendly. Mr. Hitchcock and Mr.

Cameron will leave for the southern part of the territory tonight. They arrived at Prescott yesterday morning and spt-nt the day there, Mr. Hitchcock meeting mnny citizens who, regard less of iMirty, gnve a warm "welcome to the dlHtlnguished member of the president's cabinet.

A CIVIL WAR PRICE FOR COTTON YESTERDAY The Expected Relief Did Not Come to the Shorts. New York, Aug. 29. August cotton sold at 20 cents per pound on the New York cotton market today on ah urgent demand from speculative shorts, who postponed covering until the last moment, in the hope that the increas ing new crop movement in the south west might break the control of- the bull leaders. These prices are the high est reached for cotton, for any delivery since the civil war.

This Is' re garded by many as the culmination of the bull movement in progress here for the last six months. In all, the bull leaders have handled spo. cotton to the amount of 800,000 bales, valued approximately at $05,000,000. But the hulk of this lias been shipped abroad and just how much has been actually Sold and how much js now bjing- held on consignment at foreign points Is un certain. Inasmuch, however, as bulls handled contracts for many thousand bales In excess of those upon which they actually received cotton, they have un doubtedly taken large speculative profits, no matter how their deal may turn out when their last bale of spot cotton has been sold.

Washington MERE THREAT OF A STDRM Not Sufficient to Deter Crowd at Mesa FAIRLY GOOD AUDIENCE Met the Republican Candidates Last Night to Learn Their View As to An Arizona State Constitu-: tion Although dark clouds hovered over Mesa last night threatening a downpour at any moment, a good proportion of the representative citizens of that town turned out to listen to the republican candidates to the constitutional convention from Maricopa county. The meeting was held In the Mesa opera house. Mayor Palmer presided and introduced the speakers who were C. Steward, the local candidate; George Christy, A.

J. Peters, of Tempe; Judge Thomas Armstrong, Dwight B. Heard and Judge Joseph II. Kib-bey. They addressed the audience in the order named.

All of the speakers were enthusiastically received. Mr. Steward was the first speaker Everybody in the audience knew him and he talked to them. as he would to a smaller circle of his friends. He receved a small ovation when Mayor Palmer Introduced him.

He sioke briefly delineating his own position and his belief, in. the principles enunciated in the, platform of the republican party. Mr. Christy spoke briefly on the. fundamental principles of our gov ernment and of our constitution.

He showed how the principles which, the democratic party is endeavoring to have inserted in the constitution for Acizona are antagonistic to these foundation stones of a democracy. A frank and honest personal ap peal to his friend on the south side and he has many of them was made by Mr. Peters. He rather left it to the other speakers to go Into the intricacies of the initiative and refer endum business. Everybody on the south side knows Mr.

Peters as one. of their own substantial citizens and hegot a goofl "stand." Judge Armstrong's address was scholarly and forceful. He was lis tened to attentively and his argu- meiiL against me inclusion as a part of the constitution of- the populist idea of the moment tile initiative and referendum undbubtedly caused some of his hearers to give the subject second thought. Mr. Hearst's address was characteristic of him it teemed with energy and was the ho'nest outspoken opinion of a man whose profession is business and not politics.

In a snappy address Judge Kibbey instructed and amused the, crpwd at the same time. Here and' there were flashes of wit serving to accentuate the point he desired to' make. He was cheered and applauded all through his speech. fie devoted some of his time to a minute analysis of a letter printed in yesterday's afternoon papers. The letter is signed by W.

R. Kins, associate justice of the supreme court of Oregon, and is an apparent defense of the initiative and referendum as practiced in that state. Metaphorically, Judge Kibbey tore this letter into little pieces and scattered them to the wind. He showed that there are about as many fallacies In that letter as there are holes in a piece of Swiss cheese. The candidates made the trip to in a special, returning to Phoenix last night.
