’ ieCl1 Farmers and Wage-Workers.
"When the department of agriculture
was founded there was much sneering
as to Its usefulness. No department of
the government, however, has more
emphatically vindicated Its usefulness,
and none save the postofflee depart
ment comes so continually and inti
mately Into touch with the people. The
two citizens whose welfare Is In the
aggregate most vital to the welfare of
the nation, and, therefore, to the wel
fare of all other citizens, are the wage
worker who does manual labor and the
tiller of the soil, the farmer. There are,
of course, kinds of labor where the
work must be purely mental, and there
are other kinds of labor where, under
existing conditions, very little demand
Indeed Is made upon the mind, though
I am glad to say that the proportion of
men engaged In this kind of work Is
diminishing. But In any community
with the solid, healthy qualities which
make up a really great nation the bulk
of the people should do work which and social standpoint. Farmers must

aging their farms better than they
were hitherto managed. • The farmer
must not lose his Independence, his In
itiative, his rugged self-reliance, yet
he must learn to work In the heartiest
co-operatlon with his fellows, exactly
as the business man has learned to
work; and he must prepare to use to
constantly better advantage the knowl
edge that can, be obtained from agri
cultural colleges, while he must Insist
upon a practical curriculum In the
schools In which his children are
taught. The department of agricul
ture and the department of commerce
and labor both deal with the funda
mental needs of our people In the pro,
ductlon of raw material and Its mana
fucture and distribution, and, there
fore, with the welfare of those who pro.
S ues It In the raw state, and of those
ho manufacture and distribute It.
Department of Commerce and Labor.
“The department of comerce and la
bor has but recently been founded but
has already justified Its existence
while the department of agriculture
yields to no other In the government In
the practical benefits which It pro
duces In proportion to the public money
expended. It must continue In the fu
ture to deal with growing crops as It
has dealt In the past, but it must still
further extend Its field of usefulness
hereafter by dealing with Itve men,
through a far-reaching study and
treatment of the problems'of farm life
alike from the Industrial and economic
calls for the exercise pf both body and
mind. Progreea can not permanently
exist In the abandonment of physical
labor, but in the development of phyal-
cal labor, so that It shall represent
more and more the work of the trained
mind In the trained body. Our school
system Is gravely defective in so far
ns It puts a premium upon mere litera
ry training and tends, therefore, to
(rain the boy away from the farm and
the workshop.
Industrial Schools.
"Nothing Is more needed than the
best type of Industrial school, the
school for mechanical Industries In the
city, the school for practically teaching
agriculture In the country. The calling
of the skilled tiller of the soil, the call
ing of the skilled mechanic, should
alike be recognised as professions. Just
as emphatically as the callings of law
yer doctor, merchant, or clerk. The
schools should recognize this fact and
It Should equally be recognized in pop
ular opinion. The young man who has
the farsightedness and courage to rec
ognize It and to get over the Idea that
It tnnkes a difference whether what he
earns Is called salary or wages, and
who refuses to enter the crowded Held
of the so-called professions, and takes
to constructive Industry Instead, is rea
sonably sure of an ample reward in
earning. In health. In opportunity to
1 marry early, and to establish a home
with a fair amount of freedom from
worry. It should be one of our prime
objects to put both the farmer and the
mechanic on a higher plane of efficien
cy and reward, so as to increase their
effectiveness In the economic world,
and, therefore, the dignity, tho re
muneration and the power of their po
sitions in the social world.
Help Farmers.
"No growth of cities, no growth of
wealth, can make up for any loss in
either the number or the character of
the farming population. We of tho
I'nlted States should realize this above
almost all other peoples. We began
I.ur existence as a nation of farmers,
and In every great crisis of tho past a
peculiar dependence has hod to be
l-laced upon the farming population!
and this dependence has hitherto been
Justified. But It can not be Justified
in the future If agriculture Is permitted
la sink In the scule as compared with
i liter employments. We can not afford
In lose that pre-eminently typical
American, the farmer who owns his
own medium-sized farm. To have his
place taken by either a class of small
peasant proprietors, or by a class of
great landlords with tenant-farmed es
tates would be a veritable calamity.
The growth of our cities Is a good
thing but only In so far as it does not
moan a growth at the expense of the
country farmer. Wc must welcome the
rise of physical sciences in their appli
cation to agricultural practices, and we
must do all we con to render country
conditions more easy end pleasant.
There are forces which now tend to
bring about both these results, but
they are, as yet, In their Infancy.
8tste Co-Opsrstion.
"The national government through
the department of agriculture should
do all It can by joining with the state
governments and with Independent as
sociation* of farmers to encourage the
growth In the open terming country of
such Institutional and social move
ments a* wilt meet the demand of the
"t type of farmers, both for the Im-
itterinent of the life Itself. The de
partment of agriculture has in many
places, perhaps especially In certain
districts of the South, accomplished an
extraordinary amount by co-operating
"ith and teaching the farmers through
'.heir associations, on their own soil.
co-operate with one another and with
the government, and the government
can best give its aid through associa
tions of farmers, so as to deliver to the
farmer the large body of agricultural
knowledge which has been accumulat
ed by the national and state govern
ments and by the agricultural colleges
and schools.
"The grain producing Industry of the
country, one of the most Important In
the United States, deserves special
consideration at the hands of the con.
gross. Our grain Is sold almost ex'
cluslvely by grades. To secure satis
factory results In our home markets
and to facilitate our trade abroad,
these grades should approximate the
highest degree of uniformity and cer
tainty. The present diverse methods
of Inspection and grading throughout
the country under different laws and
boards, result In confusion and lock of
uniformity, destroying that confidence
which Is necessary for healthful trade.
Complaints against the present meth
ods have continued for years and they
arc growing in volume and Intensity,
not only in this country but abroad. I
therefore suggest to the congress the
advisability of a national system of In
spection and grading of grain Entering
Into interstate and foreign commerce
as a remedy tor the present evils.
Inland Waterways,
"The conservation of our natural re
sources and their proper use constitute
the fundamental problem which un
derlies almost every other problem of
our national life. We must maintain
for our civilization the adequate ma-
tylal basis without which that civili
zation can not exist. We must show
foresight, we must look ahead. As a
nation, we not only enjoy a wonderful
measure of present prosperity, but If
this prosperity Is used aright It Is an
earnest of future success such as no
other nation will have. Th«? reward of
foresight for this nation Is great and
easily foretold. But there must be the
look ahead, there must be a realiza
tion of the fact that to waste, to de
stroy. our natural resources, to skin
and exhaust the land Instead of using
It so as to Increase Its usefulness, will
result In undermining in the days of
our children the very prosperity which
we ought by right to hand down to
them ampllned and developed.
Utilize Power.
The Inland waterways which
just back of the whole Eastern and
Southern coasts should likewise be de
veloped. Moreover, the development
of our waterways Involves many other
Important water problems, all of which
should be considered as part of the
same general scheme. The govern
ment dams should be used to produce
hundreds of thousands of horsepower
as an Incident to Improving naviga
tion; for ths.annunl value of the un
used water power of the United States
perhaps exceeds the annual value of the
products of all our mines. As an In
cident to creating the deep waterway
down the Mississippi, the government
should build along Its whole lower
length levees which taken together
with the control of the headwaters, will
at once and forever put a complete
stop to all threat of Hoods in the
Immensely fertile delta region. The ter
ritory lying adjacent to the Mississip
pi along Its lower course will thereby
pecome one of the most prosperous
and populous, as It nlready Is one of
the most fertile, farming relglons In all
the world. I have appointed an Inland
wnterways commission to study and
outline a comprehensive scheme of de
velopment along all the lines Indicated.
Later I shall lay its report before the
congress.
Reclamation Work,
■irrigation should be far more ex
tensively developed than at present, not
only In the states of the great plains
and the Rocky raountolna, but In many
others, as, for Instance, in large por
tions of the South Atlantic and gulf
states, where It should go hand In hand
with the reclamation of swamp land.
The federal government should serious
ly devoto Itself to this task, realizing
that utilization of waterways and wa
ter power, forestry. Irrigation, and the
reclamat! <n of lands threatened with
overflow, are all Interdependent por
tions of the same problem. The, work
of the reclamation service. In develop
lng the larger opportunities of the
western half of our country for Irriga
tion Js more Important than almost
any other movement. The constant
purpose of the government in connec
tion with the reclamation service has
been to use the water resources of the
public lands for the ultimate greatest
good of the greatest number; in other
words, to put upon the land permanent

home-makers, to use. and develop it for
themselves and for their children and
children's children. There has been,
of course, opposition to this work; op
position from some Interested men who
desire to exhaust the land for their
own immediate profit without regard to
the welfare of the next generation, and
opposition from honest and well-mean
ing men who dl'l not fully understand
the subject or who did not look far
enough ahead. This opposition Is, I
think, dying away, and our people are
understanding that It would be utterly
wrong to allow a few Individuals to
exhaust for their own temporary per
sonal profit the resources which ought
to be developed through use so as to be
conserved for the permanent common
advantage of the poople as a whole.
Publlo Lands,
"The effort of the government to
deal with the public land has been
based upon the same principle as that
of the reclamation service. The land
law system which was designed to meet
the needs of the fertile and well-
wutered regions of the middle west
has largely broken down when applied
to the dryer regions of the great Plains,
the mountains, and much of the Pacino
slope, where a farm of 1*0 acres Is In
adequate for self-support. In these re
gions the system lent Itself to fraud,
and much land passed out of the hands
of the government without passing
Into the hands of the home-maker. The
department of the Interior and the de
partment of Justice Joined In prosecut
ing the offenders against the law; and
they have accomplished much, while
where the administration of the law
has been defective it has been changed.
But the laws themselves are defective.
Three years ago a public lands com
mission was appointed to scrutinize the
law, and defects, and recommend a
remedy. Their examination specific
ally showed the existence of great fraud
upon the public domain, and their rec
ommendations for changes In the law
were made with the design of conserv.
lng the natural resources of every part
of the public lands by putting it to Its
best use. Especial attention was called
to the prevention of settlement by the
passage of great areas of public land
nto the hands of-a few men, and to
the enormous waste caused by un
restricted grazing upon the open range.
"The recommendations of the public
lands commission are sound, for they
are esleclatly In the Interest of the
actual home-maker; and where the
small home-maker can not at present
utilize the land they provide that the
government shall keep control of It so
that it may not be monopolized by a
few men. The congress has not yet
acted upon thes&recommendations; but
they are so Just and proper, so essen
tial to our gatlonal welfare, that I feel
confident, if the congress will take time
to consider them, that they will ulti
mately be adopted.
Forests.
Optimism Is a good characteristic,
but If carried to an excess It becomes
foolishness. We are prone to speak
of the resources of this country as In
exhaustible; that Is not so. The min
eral wealth of the country, .the coal.
Iron, oil, gas, and tho like, does not
reproduce Itself, and therefore is cer
tain to be -exhausted ultimately; and
wastefulness In dsallng with It today
means that our descendants will feel
the exhaustion a generation or two
before they otherwise would. But
thero are certain other forms of waste
which could he entirely stopped—the
waste of soil by washing, for Instance,
which Is among the most dangerous
of all wastes now In progress In the
United States, Is easily preventable, so
that this present enormous loss of
fertility Is entirely unnecessary. The
preservation or replacement of the for
ests is one of the most Important
means of preventing this loss.
Tariff on Wood Pulp.
There should be no tariff on any for
est produot grown In this country; and,
in especial, there sfiould be no tariff
on wood pulp; due notice of the change
being, of course, given to those en
gaged In the business so as to enable
them to adjust themselves to the new
conditions. The repeal of the duty on
wood pulp should, If possible, he ac
companied by an agreement with Can
ada that there shall be no export duty
on Canadian pulp wood.
Mineral Lands.
In the eastern United States the min
eral fuels have already passed Into the
hands of largo private owners, and
.those of the West are rapidly follow
ing. It Is obvious that these fuels
should be conserved and not wasted,
and It would be well to protect the
people agflnst unjust and extortion
ate prices, so far as that can still ‘
done. What has been accomplished
the great oil fields of the Indian terri
tory by tho action of tho administra
tion, offers a striking example of the
good results of such a policy. In my
Judgment the government should have
the right to keep the fee of the coal,
oil and gas fields In Its own possession
and to lease the rights to develop them
under proper regulations; or else, I'
the congress will not adopt this meth
od, tho coal deposits should be sold
under limitations, to conserve them as
public utilities, the right to mins coal
being separated from the title to the
soil. The regulations should permit coal
lands to be worked In sufficient quan
tity by the several corporations. The
present limitations have been absurd,
excessive, and serve no useful purpose,
and often render It necessary that
there should be either fraud or else
abandonment of the work of getting
out the coal.
The Panama Canal.
Work on tho Panama canal Is pro
ceedtng In a highly satisfactory man
ner. In March last John F. Stevens,
chairman of the commission and chief
engineer, resigned, and the commis
sion was reorganized and constituted
as follows: Lieutenant Colonel Qeorge
W. Ooethals, corps of englnasra. Unit
ed States army, chairman and chief
engineer; Major D. D. Oalllard, corps
of engineers. United States army; Ma
jor William L. SJbert, corps of engl
peers. United States army; Civil En
glneer H. H. Rousseau, United States
navy; Mr. J. C. S. Blackburn. Colonel
W. C. Oorgas, United States army, and
Mr. Jackson Smith, commissioners.
This change of authority and direction
went Into effect on April 1. without
causing a perceptible check to the pro
gress of the work. In March the total
excavation In the Culebra cut, where
effort was chiefly concentrated, was
816,270 cubic yards.
In April this was increased to 879,627
cubic yards. There was a considera
ble decrease In the output for May and
June, owing partly to the advent of
the rainy season and partly to tempo
rary trouble with the steam shovel
men over the question of wages. This
trouble was settled satisfactorily to all
parties and In July the total excava
tion advanced materially and In Au
gust the grand total from all points In
the canal prism by steam shovels and
dredges exceeded alt previous United
States records, reaching 1,274,404 cu
blc yards.
In September this record was eclipsed
and a total of 1,617,412 cubic yards was
removed. Of this amount 1,481,207
cubic yards were from the canal prism
and 36,106 cubic yards were from ac
ceeeory works. These results were
achieved In the rainy season with
rainfall In August of 11.89 Inches and
In September of 11.66 Inches. Finally,
In October, the record was again
eclipsed, the total excavation being
1,868,729 cubic yards, a truly extraordi
nary record, especially in view of the
heavy rainfall, which was 17.1 Inches.
In fact, experience during the last two
rainy seasons demonstrates that the
rains are a less serious obstacle to
progress than has hitherto been sup
posed.
Locks and Dams.
Work on the locks and dams at Ga-
tun, which began actively in March
last, has advanced so far that It Is
thought that masonry work on the
locks can be begun within fifteen
months. In order to remove all doubt
as to the satisfactory character of the
foundations for the locks of the canal',
the secretary of war requested three
eminent civil engineers, of special ex
perience In- such construction. Alfred
Noble, Frederic P. Stearns and John
R. Freeman, to visit the Isthmus and
make thorough personnl Investigations
of the sites. These gentlemen went to
the Isthmus In April and by means of
test pits which had beer, dug for the
purpose, they inspected the proposed
foundations, and also examined the
borings that had been made. In their
report to the Secretary of War, under
date of May 2, 1907, they said: 'We
found that all of the locks, of the
dimensions now proposed, will rest
upon rock of such character that It will
furnish a safe and stable foundation.'
Subsequent new borings, conducted by
the present commission, have fully
confirmed this verdict.
"They show that the locks will rest
on rock for their entire length. The
cross section of the dam and method

of construrtlon will be such as to In-

Similar examination of the foundations
of the locks and dams on the Pacific
side are In progress. I believe that the
locks should bo made of a width of 120
feet.
Bids Not Satisfactory.
"Last winter bids were requested
and received for doing the work of
canal construction by contract. None
of them was found to be satisfactory
and all were rejected. It is the unani
mous opinion of the present commis
sion that the work can be done better,
more cheaply, and rooi'e quickly by the
government than by private contract
ors. Fully 80 per cent of the entire
plant needed for construction has been
purchased or contracted for; machine
shops have been erected and equipped
for making all needed repairs to the
Plant, many thousands of employees
have been secured; an effective organt-
satloa has been perfected; a recruiting
system Is In operation which Is capable
of furnishing more labor than can be
used advantageously; employees are
well sheltered and well fed; salaries
paid are satisfactory, and the work is
not only going forward smoothly, but
It Is producing results for in advance
of the most sanguine anticipations.
Under these favorable conditions
u..u uiri UU Jt
work would be unwise and unjus
tifiable, for It would Inevitably disor
ganise existing conditions, check prog
ress and Increase the cost and lengthen
the time of completing the canal.
"The chief engineer and all his pro
fessional associates are firmly convinc
ed that the 86 feet level lock canal
which they are constructing Is the best
that could be desired. Some of them
had doubts on this point when they
went to the Isthmus. As the plans
have developed under their direction
their doubts have been dispelled.
Whits they may decide upon changes
In detail as construction advances they
are In hearty accord In approving the
general plan. They believe that It pro
vides a canal not only adequate to all
demands that will'be made upon It but
superior In every way to a sea level
canal. I concur In this belief.
Postal Affairs.
I commend to the favorable consid
eratlon of the congrees a postal sav
ings bank system, as recommended by
the postmaster general. The primary
object Is to encourage among our peo
pie economy and thrift and by the use
of postal savings banks to give them
an opportunity to husband their re
sources, particularly those who have
not the facilities at hand for deposit
ing their money In savings banks.
Viewed, however, from the experience
of the past few weeks, It Is evident
that the advantages of such an Instltu
tlon are still more far-reaching. Tim
Id depositors have withdrawn their
suvings for the time being from na
tional banks, trust companies and sav
ings banks; Individuals have hoarded
their cash and the workingmen their
earnings; all of which money has been
withheld and kept in hiding or In the
safe deposit box to the detriment of
prosperity. Through the agency of the
postal savings banks such money would
be restored to the channels of trade, to
the mutual benefit of capital and labor.
"I further commend to the congress
the consideration of the postmaster
general’s recommendation for an ex
tension of the pared post, especially
on the rural routes. There are now
38,216 rural routes, serving nearly 16,-
000,000 people who do not have the
advantages of the Inhabitants of cit
ies In obtaining their supplies. These
recommendations have been drawn up
to benefit the farmer and the country
storekeeper; otherwise, I should not
favor them, for I believe that It Is good
policy for our government to do every
thing possible to aid the small town
and the country district. It Is desirable
that the country merchant should not
be crushed out.
Postmasters and Civil 8ervice.
The fourth-class postmasters' con
vention has passed a very strong reso
lution In favor of placing the fourth-
class postmasters under the clvll-serv-
Ice law. The administration has al
ready put Into effect the policy of re
fusing to remove any fourth-class post-
mnsters save for reasons connected
1th the good of the service; nnd it Is
endeavoring so far os possible to re
move them from the domain of partisan
politics. It would be a most desirable
thing to put the fourth-class postmast
ers In the classified service. It Is pos
sible that this might be done without
congressional action, but. ns the mat
ter Is debatable, I earnestly recommend
that congress enact a law providing
that they be Included under the clvll-
servlce law and put In the classified
service.
Oklahoma.
Oklahoma has become a state, stand
ing on a full equality with her elder
sisters, and her future Is assured by
her great natural resources. The duty
the national government lo guard
the personal and property rights of th«
Indians within her borders remains of
course unchanged.
