Works Scores Roosevelt What the California Senator Said of Former President Four Years Ago. Four years ago, to be exact, in February, 1908, Theodore Roosevelt was finishing the last year of his second term as president of the United States. John D. Works was not then yet United States senator. Judge Works was a private citizen at the time, a former associate justice of the supreme court of California, who as a student of current events, painted a word picture of Colonel Roosevelt which for fidelity, and remarkable study of detail, has since become an epic, and it probably will live for years as one of the most prophetic studies from life ever written, taken in the light of subsequent events. After reciting the details that had placed President Roosevelt at the head of the nation, Senator Works wrote these words of the then president: "The domination and control of the legislative departments of government, serious as it is, is of infinitely less consequence than the intimidation or attempted intimidation of the judiciary. "It is no idle saying that the judiciary is the great bulwark of human liberty, protector of individual rights, and the preserver of our most sacred institutions." "The federal judiciary stands preeminent for intelligence, fearless honesty and integrity and judicial knowledge. There may be some individual exceptions, but they are rare and few in number. If reports be true the president has denounced in unmeasured terms at least one federal judge for differing with his views of the law and its enforcement. By so doing he has made it publicly negotiation to the next national republican convention. Continuing his remarkable excoriation, Senator Works after declaring himself to be an ardent republican, says of Colonel Roosevelt: "His spectacular and intemperate attack in public addresses upon those whom he believes or suspects of being guilty of violations of the law, are undignified and inappropriate and calculated to destroy public confidence in moneyed men and moneyed institutions." "His earnest and diligent prosecution of violators of the law without respect to persons by the law department of the government, is worthy of the highest commendation and should be sustained by public opinion, but the public utterances of the president upon the subject are too obviously out of place, and savor too much of unworthy gravato and appeal to public prejudices, too much of the spectacular, too much of an effort to arouse public sentiment in his own favor to meet with the approval of the conservative thinking citizen." The above was Senator Works' opinion of Theodore Roosevelt four years ago and while the portrait thus painted of hte former president applied at that time, how much more true to life is it now when Colonel Roosevelt has cast all discretion to the winds and is parading up and down the country soliciting a re-election on a platform so radical that the utterances of William Jennings Bryan have always been conservative when compared to the alleged principles now being advocated by the subject of Senator Works' bitter personal attack. Its Effect on Land Development All the available cites that the estate sugar factory and the beet growing in a has invariably increased land to a greater extent. About four years ago investigation was made of Statistics of the department, and, after the results, George that bureau, prepared bulletin 44 of the bureau der the title, "Changes, 1900-1905."

There may be some individual exceptions, but they are rare and few in number. If reports be true the president has denounced in unmeasured terms at least one federal judge for differing with his views of the law and its enforcement. By so doing he has made it publicly known that all judges so differing with his views would fall under his displeasure. No one would be found to intimate that the president would purposely interfere with the due administration of justice or attempt to intimidate a judicial officer in the performance of his duties. Nevertheless the open denunciation of the judicial act of one judge for a decision rendered by him is calculated to influence his action if the question should come before him again and would be well calculated to influence other judges in the performance of similar duties in the result of which the president is known to be interested. "This tendency of the president to denounce those who do not agree with him has led him into many indiscretions and his arbitrary methods, his lack of restraint and determination to have his own way have made him a conspicuous example of the danger to our institutions if unchecked, and uncontrolled power, intended to bring both the legislative and judicial departments into his way of thinking and thus accomplish his ends. "The one thing that seemed at the outset of Mr. Roosevelt's career as president to appeal to public favor was his fearless independence. It is a quality much to be commended and a necessary qualification for the high office. But it must be accompanied by clear judgment, due caution, conservatism and strict integrity, or it may be a most dangerous quality. In some of these the president has shown himself to be sadly lacking. If he set his mind upon a certain course he throws caution and discretion to the winds. It must be so in his estimation if he wills it to be so. Congress must bend to his will. If it is a construction of existing law the judge must construe it his way or fall under his displeasure and meet with open criticism and denunciation. If in his estimation some corporation has violated the law instead of placing the matter in the ARE FLOODS INCREASING? Figures Show Enormous Loss by Recent Overflows The present disastrous floods of the Mississippi river and the inundation of the surrounding lowlands through the breaking of the levees suggest the inquiry: Are floods increasing in the United States? Present conditions are admittedly most unusual, floods of both the Ohio and Missouri rivers swelling the already heavy flow of the Mississippi itself, and this has created what will probably pass down in history as the worst flood of the Mississippi since the settlement of the country. Precipitation—either snow or rain—must ultimately take two courses, either along the surface of the ground directly into water courses or into the ground by percolation, with subsequent discharge into the rivers by seepage. The water which causes floods is that part of the precipitation which is not absorbed into the ground and which therefore must flow along the earth's surface. According to M. O. Leighton, the chief hydrographer of the United States geological survey, in Water-Supply Paper 234, which contains papers on the Conservation of Water Resources, "there are five classes of agencies or conditions affecting the flow of streams. The first is climate, under which are comprised rainfall, evaporation, temperature, wind, and humidity. Although these are exceedingly variable from day to day and from season to season, the observations that have been recorded indicate that a period of years embraces all conditions, so that the mean of them may be considered fairly constant. There is very little evidence, except in special areas, that reveals any progressive and permanent change in climatic conditions. The second agency is topography, and the third geology, both of which may be considered absolutely stable. The It is likely that this article was published on January 15, 2015, in a newspaper named "The New York Times." The content reflects current events and opinions on legal matters. The capitalization of words and use of hyphens were standard practices in newspapers during this period.

"The federal judiciary stands preeminent for intelligence, fearless honesty and integrity and judicial knowledge. There may be some individual exceptions, but they are rare and few in number.

"The one thing that seemed at the outset of Mr. Roosevelt's career as president to appeal to public favor was his fearless independence.

If it is a construction of existing law the judge must construe it his way or fall under his displeasure and meet with open criticism and denunciation. If in his estimation some corporation has violated the law instead of placing the matter in the hands of the judicial or law department, to be dealt with in a legal and orderly way, he makes it an executive matter, takes it in control, denounces the supposed offenders as criminals before trial and conviction and tells the whole country what he is going to do about it and how. So we have the unpleasant spectacle of the president of the United States going about the country denouncing its citizens as criminals and enemies of the people. "It is seriously claimed that the intemperate assaults of the president on what is sometimes termed predatory wealth, and upon men at the head of large commercial and other business institutions has precipitated a financial panic and business depression that has caused much loss and suffering and distress." Here we have the then president of the United States having precipitated the panic of 1908, and the author of the charge is not a follower of Wall street, or one affiliated with any of the so-called interests, but the junior United States senator from California, elected to his present position by the same influences now seeking to control the California del- ceedingly variable from day to day and from season to season, the observations that have been recorded indicate that a period of years embraces all conditions, so that the mean of them may be considered fairly constant. There is very little evidence, except in special areas, that reveals any progressive and permanent change in climatic conditions. The second agency is topography, and the third geology, both of which may be considered absolutely stable. The fourth is surface vegetation, which includes forest cover and cultivated land. The fifth consists of artificial agencies, such as storage reservoirs and drainage, which produce rapid and marked effects on river discharge. "When the physical conditions on the drainage areas are summed up, the one great change that has been produced in the vegetative conditions is the reduction of forest area. On some of these drainage areas it has occurred by slow progression and on others more rapidly. It is certain that in some areas this forest cutting has caused barren conditions because the land was of such a character that after it was relieved of forest protection it eroded easily and its productive portions were quickly swept into watercourses. "Summarily, therefore, it may be stated with confidence that the increase in flood tendency shown so unmistakably is due in by far the largest measure to the denudation of forest areas. Are you figuring on putting in a pumping plant? If so, see P. J. Weisel & Co." BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY Its Effect on Land Values and Local Development All the available information indicates that the establishment of a sugar factory and the development of beet growing in a farming district has invariably increased the values of land to a greater or less degree. About four years ago a general investigation was made by the Bureau of Statistics of the agricultural department, and, after a careful study of the results, George K. Holmes, of that bureau, prepared for publication bulletin 44 of the bureau series under the title, "Changes in Farm Values, 1900-1905." This investigation reached into every township in the United States. Much of the information contained in this bulletin shows clearly the effect of the beet sugar industry in raising land values. In California from 1900 to 1905, all medium farms increased 27.4 per cent while the per cent of increase of the sugar beet farms was 42.4. The report not only shows the rapid increase in value of sugar beet farms but shows clearly that farmers are devoting to beet culture all lands which are much above the general average in value, and this is especially true of the irrigated farms of the far western states. From the best information I have it may be stated: The beet sugar industry, where installed, has been one of the most potent factors developing agricultural conditions, not only in sugar production but in all agricultural features associated. The capitalization of such a plant and the building of the same is the incentive for projecting many other improvements, subsidiary, but important to agricultural development, such as the dairy, creamery, breeding of animals, feeding and preparing the sperity of American farmers engaged in the culture of beets," where a sugar factory is established in a new district it takes time to adapt the farmer to the methods and intensive culture required for this field crop. To give a fair resume of this inquiry, we must necessarily go to the older factory districts, where the farmers have had sufficient time and experience to adjust themselves to conditions. In such districts farm mortgages have been paid off by the original owners of the land. When the sugar factory was installed, their tenants bought lands and are mortgagors to some extent. They are paying off. This condition has prevailed all over the country where our older sugar factories are established. The best evidence of the feeling of the farmer in reference to his prosperity in growing sugar beets can be particularly observed in these old factory districts. It may be accepted as a truism that a factory could not exist unless the farmer grew the beets; he will not produce them unless he is amply compensated. This is more true in the culture of beets than that of other crops. Here is the test in this matter. Lehigh, Utah, was the original factory of that state. Its supply of beets and its beet growing area constantly increased. To meet this condition it eventually quadrupled its original capacity, and finally the management had to build another factory at Garland with an initial capacity four times that of the original plant. In addition this company had developed a beet growing area in Idaho, furnishing beets for the two plants in Utah. Finally it became necessary to build four plants in Idaho to meet the requirements of the beet growing area that it had developed in that state.

The capitalization of such a plant and the building of the same is the incentive for projecting many other improvements, subsidiary, but important to agricultural development, such as the dairy, creamery, breeding of animals, feeding and preparing the same for market, also the fruit industry, cereal and alfalfa production, the alfalfa-meal mill, canneries, preserving fruit, and many other things made possible by the existence of an enterprise capable of capitalizing all farm productive conditions and promoting extensive farm co-operation in many ways. As this industry develops in the west, it is the main feature attracting and supporting many things and uniting them in an intensive agricultural husbandry. As it works out in the west, it is the "Mother Lode" of agricultural development. It is and will continue to be the most important medium developing the benefits and promoting the success of our national reclamation act. Through its by-products in the older states it has asserted a strong influence on agricultural interests. It has stimulated the animal industry and the consequent products of the same. Its effect on the value of lands is quite various, according to places and conditions. In all places of the United States, its favorable influence in this respect has been quite marked. Examine conditions in mountain states where crops are grown by irrigation, formerly utilized for grazing, lands worth from $3 to $5 per acre. A sugar factory, the means and incentive of an irrigation ditch, has made these lands available for producing sugar beets, the finest fruit, the products o dairy and creamery, the fattened animal for the block; and when thoroughly equipped for these purposes these lands are worth from $100 to $300 per acre. In other older developed districts devoted to potatoes and cereal culture under the irrigation ditch before the advent of the sugar factory, good lands can not now be bought for less than $250 to $300. The effect of the beet sugar industry "on local business generally" has been very pronounced. Where installed, it has remarkably recouped and energized all kinds of local business. GERMAN WOMEN TOIL HARD Not So Domesticated as of Yore—Rapidly Competing With Men Berlin, April 21.—The German woman is commonly supposed to be a domesticated person, occupied in the ordering of her household and the care of her children. This view must be abandoned, for as a matter of fact, only 40 per cent of the women of Germany between the ages of 16 and 30 are married. A very large proportion of the other 60 per cent earn their livelihood by professional or manual work. They have grave problems to face which are becoming every year more urgent. There are 22,000,000 females in Germany above the age of 14; 11,851,000 of these are not wage earners, but among them must be reckoned many peasant women who help their husbands in the fields and are accustomed to daily work of an arduous kind. Over 10,000,000 women are doing paid work. Of these 4,000,000 are married women or widows, and there are thus 6,000,000 unmarried women in Germany who are wage earners. What is the work of the ten millions? One hundred and sixty thousand are shop assistants, 695,000 have shops or businesses of their own, and 287,000 are members of the liberal professions. There are about 1,300,000 domestic servants. The remaining seven millions and a half are engaged chiefly in manual work, for which small wages are paid. Their earnings as a rule do not exceed $10 to $15 a month. After years of hard work they may earn $20, or even $22.50 a month. Two and a half dollars a week earned by a girl living with her parents is a valuable addition to the family budget but it is a wage which In other older developed districts devoted to potatoes and cereal culture under the irrigation ditch before the advent of the sugar factory, good lands can not now be bought for less than $250 to $300. The effect of the beet sugar industry "on local business generally" has been very pronounced. Where installed, it has remarkably recouped and energized all kinds of local business. It has revived and made over towns already established. In places where towns did not exist it has made new ones which have become important centers of trade. Many illustrations of this kind could be given. The sugar industry has had a remarkable influence in the stimulation, elevation, and improvement generally of the live stock interests. This has occurred in bettering the breeds, increasing the number of stock, and multiplying the productive resources of the stock industry. It has turned vast areas from simple grazing to stock production for all purposes; from producing the "stocker" to producing a good quality of meat for consumption; also dairy and creamery products and breeding one blooded animals of different kinds. The sugar industry is extending, promoting, and increasing the facilities for agriculture, in creating a demand for rotation, fertilization, a higher, better knowledge of conditions, resources, and application of methods, has very much extended and promoted the production of all other crops.

The reservations are believed to contain many favorable power sites. Restorations of more than 10,000 acres of land previously withdrawn in connection with power sites were made during the month, in Colorado, Idaho and Washington. This land was found upon further investigation to be not necessary to the control of power sites.
