Brclsl.) 8?nstor Burk-tt completed hi two day peaking tour down the Platte valley here tonight before a large audience of en thusiastic admlrere. He Is traveling all the way In automobiles and Is accompanied on the trip by Congressman Klnksld, H. T. Dobbins, editor of the Lincoln News, and at different places by other local politicians. He was given a splendid reception here tonight by the people who remember well the long, hard fight he made In their be half for the completion of the third section of the ditch, as well as In recognition of his services In securing the passage of the law which enabled the homesteader on Ir rigation projects to leave their land when thc-lr homestead period had been completed even though the ditch had not been finished and the water was not available. The da lay In the completion of the ditch by the government found many settlers who had completed the required time on their home stead entry, but who could not receive their title until the water contract required by the law had been complied with. This worked a hardship on all the settlers and disaster to some, because they could not get their crops to growing without water. Senator Burkett took the position that the settler had compiled with his part of the contract in living the required number of years on the homestead and that the only reason he could not settle up the water contract was because the government had failed to furnish the water, that the gov ernment ought not to take advantage of his position to keep him there until It had per formed Its part of the contract. He ac cordingly Introduced the bill which relieved the settlers. It is perhaps the most Im portant law to the settlers that has been enacted since the original Irrigation act Itself, and enabled many settlers to hold their lands until the water should be sup rile 1, and In the meantime to remove there from In order to gain a livelihood. Afcsrrrsstve for People's Welfare. While the senator made a political speech and showed the progress that the nation had made and the prosperity that the peo ple had had under republican policies. It might be said that the keynote to Senator Burkett's speech here was conservation of nutural resources. He declared that what had kept the republican party In power for fifty years, practically uninterruptedly was the fact that It had always kept close to the people and had always been active and aggressive for the people's welfare. "For fifty years," said the senator, "the demo crats have been claiming that they were the people's party, and yet year after year, and election after election the people have disowned them, and I am one of those who believe that barring the unfortunate Cleve land administration the people have known what they were doing all the time. Every body knows how they were mislead In that campaign by bogus tln-peddlers and false statements about the McKlnley tariff bill and that before they had time to find out the real truth, election day had passed, the democratic party put Into power, and the protective tariff, the greatest conservation policy of all the ages, was swept from the statute buuks. ,.Tho American market that the republican party had conserved for fifty years was destroyed In one session of con gress by democratic hands. The American wage scale that had been built up and con served by republicans was overthrown by democratic legislation and the American home, proverbial the world around under republican conservation policies, was shrouded In gloom In the disaster of tnat democratic administration. What Ilepnbllcaa Party Stands For. "The republican party has always stood for the conservation of American resources and American supremacy. It was organ ised to conserve national llfo Itself, and to preserve It In all Its glory and power for the generations of men yet unborn, The DailyBumble Bef VOL. I. TUB UlllUI.K UKK. A.

The In come to go or oroa la aaie. The republican party conserved the great territorial empire, from which have been carved forty-six magnificent state of happy, prosperous and progressive people, bearing oris national flag and chanting one national hymn. It waa a republican policy that conserved our great domain for man rather than for capital, that enacted the free homestead law, and thus saved to every Individual the right of undisputed ownership to a part of nature's vast do main, where he might sit beneath his own vine and fig tree and sleep his sleep In peace beneath his own roof. Every demo crat opposed It then as every democrat will oppose It today the conservation of tim ber and coal and ortier natural resources of the republic "Only last wenk a democratic state con vention was held in one of our sister states, and among Its acts was a resolu tion denouncing the conservation policy of Theodore Roosevelt and William H. Taft upon the ground that the nation had no right to enter upon the control of lands within the states of the union even though they might be government lands. Sirs, the democratic party was passing that sort of resolutions more than fifty years ago In every state In the union, declaring that the federal government had no right to Interfere with a certain social problem In the states, and that the states alone had authority to control the slavery question. Democrats Tether by Traditions. "dome people may think that party lines are breaking down, but so long as the democratic party stands for the old ante-bellum, states' rights policy of Cal houn and Jeff Davis, and against Twen tieth century Ideals, there will be a re publican party to represent the active, virile, progressive Americanism, and I want to belong to It. And my Judgment Is thst there will be enough others of the same mind to keep the republican party In power uninterruptedly for another fifty years. These timber lands and coal lands are government lands and they belong to the people. They are nature's heritage to the children of men; their blessings are ours to appropriate, but not to destroy or to alienate to those who would destroy them or to them who would use them for selfish and Unwarranted gain. We have them as trustees for the generations of men that come after us. And as the re publican party gave a homestead to every man rather than an empire of estates to a few, it will dedicate the timber and the coal and the water power to all the people to come rather than to the greed and avarice of present day commercialism. The republican party can do It because its policies uphold the authority of the fed eral government. The democratic: party cannot do It because It Is tied and teth ered by the old states' rights doctrine and never seems to have learned that the whole republic is bigger than any part of It, and that there are problems broader and more comprehensive In their import ance than state Jurisdiction, and that hu man liberty and human welfare Is a bigger factor in the minds and hearts of men than preconceived notions of democratic politicians."

Irrigation was the principal topic of speeches made at Mlnatare and Bayard this evening by Senator Burkett and Congressman Klnkald. Both men were leaders In the movement which gave to th Notth Platte valley the great pathfinder project and their reception was very cor dial at all towns along their route. At Mlnatare, at noon, they were banqueted by business men.

That question Is being asked by those who sat in the lobby of one of the prominent-hotels In Omaha this afternoon1.

GRAND ARMY ON PENSIONS (Continued from Pag One.) with late enemies T This Is as it should be. Both armies were composed of brave men and they should and do mutually respect each other. We of the north can testify that no braver troops weT ever marshalled tor conflict than our late enemies, and we now realise that no man ever mads greater sacrifices for what they believed to be right than our former foes. "Comrsdes, w were th victors, and ws can afford to be magnanimous to our old foes. It Is . easy for th victor to forgive, but when the vanquished absolves himself from ail bitterness he has truly gained the most cherished trait of a noble character. W won they lost. We returned to our homes with the shouts of victory ringing In our ears our cause triumphant They were defeated, their cause lost, and they returned to homes destroyed, bams empty, money worthless, slaves free and ruin all about them. Any but a brave people would have yielded to these adverse con ditionsnot so with them. Bravely as they fought during the war, they now fought the battles of life, and 'the splendid growth and developments of th south since the close of the war Is the south' s grandest and most enduring monument United as we are now, our country is destined to make a new era of progress. We have, by our united efforts advenced to the highest pinnacle of fame and became a mighty world power with our influence everywhere potential. Wno does not rejoice that our union Is one and indivisible, and will remain so forever." Many Matters to Come Up. Th veterans did not show 'any ill ef fects from yesterday's long 'march and were about bright and early. ' Thise not called Into the business session of l.iti encampment planned to spend the day en joying the many attractions of th city. Beautiful weacner again favored th vet erans. aiany matter affecting th welfar of th Grand Army veterans will come before the encampment The ever present question of pensions will come up, the veterans urging that the low est pensions granted be considerably in creased. From latest information at hand there are about 662,000 names on the pen sion rolls. The government estimates there are 66,000 union men who are not drawing pensions, making the total number of sur vivors of the union forces in the country 627.000. When the representatives of the veterans went into executive session there appeared to be no doubt that John E. Oilman of Boston will be elected commander-in-chief. His opponent is John McElroy of Washing ton, D. C. Los Angeles, Cal., seems to be leading as the place for holding the encampment in 1911. The matter of incorporating the Grand Army of the Republlo will probably come before the encampment. The commander recommends In his report that the national organize Uoa be Incorporated under federal laws. ... The Department ot Kentucky wants the national hymn, "America," to include the name of Lincoln. It has proposed an amendment to the rules and regulations of the organization that the following lines be used in patriotic and memorial exercises In singing "America:" Reunited land, 'Neath Lincoln's guiding hand.

SEEKS TO PE0VE FOEMEE CHAEQES MFHagfe Qaoted to Show Roosevelt Commissioned Former Ambsvsoador to Aet an Personal Envoy tm Vatican for Charchman. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Sept. 21 The Re publican tomorrow will print a letter from Mrs. Bellamy Storer, written In France, September , reviving the controversy be tween the Storers and Mr. Roosevelt con cerning the former president's alleged authorisation of the former ambassador to Austria-Hungary to visit Tope Plus X and ask him as a personal favor to the presi dent of the United States to make Arch bishop Ireland of St. Paul a cardinal. Letters written by the archblsriop In 190S and 1904, hitherto unpublished, are quoted by Mrs. Storer to show that at repeated Intervals In the communications between the archbishop and the president Mr. Roosevelt acknowledged that he had com missioned Mr. Storer to act as his personal envoy at the Vatican in behalf of the archbishop. x Mr. Roosevelt has hitherto publicly denied that Mr. Storer was ever authorised to represent him in this mannsr, and th Ireland letters, now published by Mrs. Storer, have the effect of making much sharper the Issue of veracity between the Storers and the ex-presldent Two Letters Made Pnbllc. Mrs. Storer's letter to the Republican also seeks to prove on the testimony of Arch bishop Ireland that President Roosevelt promised to make Mr. Storer Un.'ted States ambassador either at Paris or London, and there is Included still- another letter al leged to have been written by Mr. Roose velt to i Mr. Storer, Just after the presi dential election in 1S96, In which Mr. Roose velt asked Mr. Storer to see president-elect McKlnley and urge him to, 'appoint Mr. Roosevelt assistant secretary of the navy. This last letter seems to refute a recent assertion that Mr. Roosevelt never sought a public office, except when he sought a presidential nomination In 1904. The- first letter by Archbishop Ireland quoted by Mrs. Storer, written to Mr. Storer, November S, 1901, Is In part as fol lows: "I have had two most pleasant meet ing with the president at the White House. He is decidedly your friend and resolved to give you the best there is. 'Even,' said he, 'if Berlin comes first and Bellamy wished it for a little whllo, pending Choate's retention of London, I would give It to him and change him shortly after wards to London. Let him trust me.' " Next Letter to Mrs. Storer. The Vext Ireland letter, dated October St, 1903, was written to Mrs. Storer, in part as follows: ' ' "I was in Washington last week and, of course, saw the president I spoke to him of Paris and removed Crom his mind all suspicion that a Catholic would be there persona non grata as ambassador. He promised me that the next ambassador to Paris would be Mr. Storer and furthermore expressed the belief: that General Porter would soon retire. "The president also . told me that he had commissioned Mr. Storer to speak for him viva voce at the Vatican; he seemed rather proud of having done so." On February 2, 1904, the archbishop writes to Mr. Storer:' ' '-. "Your two letters ,'wera read and burnt However, you need have no anxiety about the whole affair which was the chief sub ject matter of those letters. The president had no occasion to feel ruffled In the least, but you know ; his impulsiveness. When I saw him he, of his own accord, told i me of his writing to ycu and asked me how publicity was given to the matter. I said the Scrlpps-McRae agency had merely made a guess (as to Mr. Storer's coming to Rome) that .the few unfavorable comments that followed amounted to really nothing. He calmed down completely, re marked that he had every confidence in you and hoped that the outcome of your mission would be what all desired." ihtm raws I is tuu best cii.ii.ii uiudo lor tha skin.
