AN INNOVATION f (U m ycuji own im-VSOQ I'ARNAM STREET of tither the upland or the harbor or channel by the Controller Hallway and NvlKtlon company' or any other person or company. Drceuee of lack of time sufficient to draft a memorandum myself, 1 requested the secretary of the Interior, who, with the secretary of agriculture, after full discussion, had agreed in my conclusion, to prepare a letter setting forth the reasons for making the larger elimination, so that It might become a part of the record. I wish to be as specific aa possible upon this point, and to say that I alone am responsible for the en largement of the proposed elimination from 120 acres to 12.800 acres, and that I proposed the change and stated my rea sons therefor, and while both secretaries cordially concurred Jn It tha suggestion was mine." The president say he had every assur ance at the time that the Controller Rail way and Navigation company was an in dependent enterprise working in all good faith, and that no evidence to the contrary had been brought to his attention. "Of course It was possible," hs continues, "that the owners of the Copper Klver Railway company (Messrs. Morgan and Guggen heim) might attempt to buy this railroad when and If It wore built. It was possible . that Mr. Ryan was acting for the Interests o!Vfc Copper River -railroad, although I did norsJeUevs It; but whether this was true or not It was clear that the order of elimination by reason of the restrictions of the act of congress would not permit the owners of either railroad to shut out any other capitalists. "Ample land for ' right-of-way, harbor frontage and ter minals must always remain available un der the. law for government . use or If It preferred to take oveerto the government a ratalway built by private enterprise corir demnatlon is easy." Waate to Enora Development. "I axn as strongly convinced as anyone of the necessity tor the conservation of our national resources, " says tha president, "and as much opposed as anyone to their monopolisation by large corporations, but my eanvlctlona on this point did net deter me from taking the step which I hoped might lead to encouraging the construction of a railway from Controller' bay to the Bering coal fields. I thought the paring down of the amount of puhllo land to be acquired for terminals by the railway- com pany, proposing to bulid the .railroad was a poor policy and one not calculated - to secure investment or speedy construction." The president goes on to explain that there, are Iron bound limitations covering the method for securing title for govern ment lands and. for . this reason he feels no fear of any Interest obtaining, a monop oly. Briefly the restrictions are; "Flrwt Not more than 160 acres can be entered in a single body by scrip. "Seoonl-No location jot scrip along .any navigable river or other waters can .be made. within .eighty rods of any. lands along such waters,, and do. entry can be. allowed extending more than 160 rods along tha shore of any navigable water; and along such shore a space of at least eighty rods must be reserved from entry between all such claims. "Third Nothing In the act contained is to be construed ' to authorise entries to be made or title to be acquired to the shore of any navigable waters within the dis trict. No Chance for Monopoly. "The whole contention that the executive order and the opening to settlement of the shore of Controller bay grants a mo nopoly to the railway company," he re sumes. ."rests on a claim that "it has given an opportunity to persons using scrip to appropriate the control of the only avail able and practicable parts of the channel by the location 'of the scrip opposite to those parts. If now the location of the scrip opposite to the harbor gives no right to reach the harbor except as congress may expressly give it, clearly the Control ler Railway and Navigation company has not the slightest opportunity for exclusive appropriation of the harbor facilities unless congress shall by future act deliberately and voluntarily confer ft." Having explained in detail his reasons for opening up the land In question, the president takes occasion to answer several Incidental criticisms. "The order has been MOTHER'S It l 'the duty of every expectant mother to prepare her system for the coming of her little one ; to avoid as far m possible the eutlerlng of such occasions, and endeavor q .-pass" through the- crisis with her health and strength unimpaired. .This aha, may do tbrongh 4heuse of Mother's': Friend, a remedy that has been so Ion; in use, and accomplished so much good, that it is in no sense aa experiment, but a preparation which always produces the best results.

This was determined by Mr. Graves, the forester, he explains, and he quotes a letter of Mr. Graves to the effect that when a comparatively small area is eliminated from a national forest the executive order la very commonly used In stead of a proclamation. As to the charge made on the floor of the senate that the order was secret, the presi dent says, "This was utterly unfounded." In support of this, he says that ten days before the order was made the details of Ryan's application and the probability of Its being granted were given wide publi city. He cites In this respect that the As sociated Press carried an account of the matter October 28. 1910, as taken from a typewrlten statement Issued by the In terior department. . Alleged Haste Explained. The order has also been criticised. Be says, on the ground that it did not con tain provision delaying its taking -'effect for thirty days after its publication, as orders restoring land to settlement by homesteaders frequently do. In this respect the president says, ' "Aa examination of the record furnishes an explanation of this feature of the order mads. When In Oc tober the two departments bad agreed with my acquiescence that the order should be an elimination of only 20 acres. It was deemed wise to spread on the face of the order a specific dclearatlon that It was made to afford terminals for the Con troller Railway and Navigation company, and as no one else was expected to Inter vene and take up any part of the elimi nated tract, the restoration was made. Im mediate. The form thus amended was sub mitted to the secretary of agriculture. who expressed bis preference for the im mediate restoration order. When I directed the striking out of the reference to the railway company and the enlargement of the area from 130 acres to U.iOO acres,, the form of the order In its provision for im mediate restoration was not chVnged. I have no doubt that this was the reason why the order Issued took the form It did. Had the postponement ' clause been suggested, I would, doubtless, have di rected It to be embodied In the order. But the event haa proven that It was really not . Important In this case, for in now nearly nine months only the Controller Railway and Navigation company has; made any scrip entries on the eliminated tract" "Dick to Dick" Fabrication. Taking up the "Dick . to Dick" episode the president says in conclusion i "Before closing, I desire to allude to a circumstance which the terms of this reso lution make apt and relevant It Is a state ment by one Miss M. F Abbott that In an examination, of - the files, of the Interior department a few weeks ago, she found a postscript . attached to a letter of July, 13, lttlO, addressed by Mr. Richard S. Ryan to Secretary Ballinger and in the present record urging the elimination of land enough for terminate for the Controller Railway and NavlgaUon , company. The postscript was said to read as follows: "Dear D : I went to see the president the other day. He asked me who it was I represented. I told him according to our agreement, that I represented myself. But this didn't seem to satisfy him. So I sent for Charlie Taft and asked him to tell his brother, the president, who It was I reallv represented. The president triads no fur ther objections to my claim. Yours, "DICK. "The postscript Is not now on The files of the department. If It were It would be my duty , to transmit It under this resolu tion. I do not transmit It, not only for the reason that It Is not now on the files of the department, but for the reason that It never was on the files, of the department, at least aa an authentlo document Who Is really responsible for Us wicked fabrication U It ever existed, or for the viciously false statement made as to Its authenticity, Is Immaterial for the purpose of this com munication. The purport of the post script Is, and the Intention of the fabrica tor was, to make Mr. Richard 8. Ryan testify through its words to the publlo that although I was at first opposed In the publlo interest to granting the elimina tion which he requested, nevertheless through the undue influence of my brother, Mr. Charles P. Taft and the disclosure of the real persons in Interest I was Induced Improperly and for the promotion of their private gain, to make the order. Baothe Knows Nothing; ( It. "Tha statement insofar as my brother Is concerned and that Is the 'chief feature of the postscript Is utterly unfounded. He never wrote to me In reference to Richard 8. Ryan or on the subject of Controller Bay or the granting of any privileges or the making of any orders In respect to Alaska. He has no Interest In Alaska. never had, and knows nothing of the cir-a eumstoucea coniveoted with this traaaction, lfe.4oea'not remember that he ever met Richard 8. Ryan. Hs never heard of the Controller.' Bay railroad urifll. my cable gram of Inquiry reached him, which, with his answer, is. la the record. "Mr. Ballinger says In a telegram la an swer to my Inquiry, both of which are In the record, that he never received such a postscript and that he was in Seattle on the dste of July 13, when it was said to; have been written. "Mr. Richard 8. Ryan, In a letter which he" haft bent me without solicitation, and which Is in ths record, says that he never met my . brotherr Mr. Charles P. Taft and that so far at -he knows. Mr. .Charles P. Taft never had the slightest Interest In Controller Bay', In the Controller Railway Navigation company, or In any Alaskan company, and he utterly denies writing or signing the alleged postscript The utter improbability of his writing such a poet script to Mr. Ballinger at Washington, when the latter was away for his vaca tion for two months, must Impress every, one. The fact U that Mr. Ballinger never saw the letter of July IS. late, to which this postscript Is said to have beea at tached. It was sent te me by Mr. Carr.

It was placed upon the White House files and remained there until April 22, 1911, when It was, by request of Secretary Fisher, returned to the Interior depart ment, and It was after this that Miss Ab bott says she saw the letter with the post script attached. Mr. Carr saw no such postscript when he sent the letter to me.' I did not see It when I read It No one saw It In the executive office, but It re mained to appear aa a postscript when Miss Abbott saw the letter In April or May on the flies of tha. Interior depart ment All others Were denied the sight Postscript Never la Files. "The person upon whose statement the existence of what has been property characterised as an amazing postscript Is based Is a writer for - the newspapers and magazines. She was given permission by Secretary Fisher, after consultation with me, to examine all the files In respect to the Controller bay matter and this under the supervision of Mr. Brown, then pri vate secretary to the secretary of 'the In terior. After the , examination, at which she alleges she received this postscript from the hand of Mr. Brown, she prepared an elaborate article on the subject of this order and Controller bay, which she sub mitted to Mr. Fisher, and which she dis cussed with Mr. Fisher at length, . but never In the conversation did she mention the existence of . the postscript . Mr. Brown, who was with her at the time and showed her the "files, testifies that there was no such postscript In the papers, and that he never handed her and she never saw such a postscript there. Similar evi dence Is given by Mr. Carr and other custodians of the records In the Interior department' j. ; "Strongs;-evidence of the falsity and maliciously slanderous character of the alleged postscript could not be had. Its only significance Is the light it throws on the bitterness and venom of some of those, who take active part In every dis cussion of Alaskan Issues. The Intensity of their desire to besmirch all,, who Invest In that district, and all who are officially connected with its administration, oper ates upon the minds of weak or depraved human Instruments and prompts the fabri cation of such false testimony as this post script. I dislike to dwell upon this fea ture of the case,, but It Is so full of a lesson that ought to be taken to the heart of every patriotle cltisen that I cannot pass it over in silence. Does Not Fear Unjust Criticism. "When I made this order I was aware that the condition of publlo opinion In ref erence to Investments in Alaska, fanned by charges of fraud some well founded and others of an hysterical and unjust or false character would lead to an attack upon It and to the questioning of my mo tives In signing it I remarked this when I made the order, and I was not mistaken. But a public officer, 'when be conceives it his duty to take affirmative action In the publio Interest, has no more right to allow fear of unjust criticism and attack to hinder him from taking that action than he would to allow personal and dis honest motives to affect him. It Is easy In cases like this to take the course which timidity prompts, and to do nothing, but such a course does not inure to the publlo weal. "I am In full sympathy with the concern of reasonable and patrlotlo men that tha valuable resources of Alaska should not be turned 'over to bo exploited for the profit of greedy, absorbing, monopolistic corpor ations or syndicates. Whatever the at tempts which have been made, no one, as a matter of fact has secured In Alaska any undue privilege or franchise not com pletely under the control of congress, and In all the scandal, with which the public has been regaled very few specific in stances of corrupt or improper attempts to acquire vested Interests in Alaska have been shown by evidence that would stand the test of Judicial examination. Notwith standing tlUs, however, I am In full agree ment with the view that every care, both In administration and In legislation, must bo observed to prevent the corrupt or un fair acquisition of undue privilege, fran chise or right from the government in that' district. But every one must know that . the resources of Alaska can never become available either to the people of Alaska or to the people of the United States unless reasonable opportunity Is granted to those who would Invest their money to secure a return proportionate to the flak run. la tha investment and rea sonable under all the circumstances. Hysteria Hinders Development. "On the other hand, the harmony of spirit and the Intense malice that have engen dered In respect of the administration of the government In Alaska and In tha con sideration of measures proposed for its relief and the wantoa recklessness and eagerness with which attempts have been made to besmirch the characters of high officials having to do with the Alaskan gov ernment, and even of persons pot in publlo life, present a condition that rails for con demnation and requires that the publlo be warned of the demoralisation that ha been produced by the hysterical suspicions of good people and the unscrupulous and cor rupt misrepresentations of the wicked. The helpless stats to which the credulity of some and the malevolent scandal-mongerlng of others have brought the people of Alaska In their struggle for Its development ought to give the publlo pause, for until a Juater and fairer view be taken Investment In Alaska, which Is necessary to Hs develop- OMAHA, THURSDAY, JULY - 27, 1911. , measured at right angles to the general trend of the shore of three eighty-rod strips reserved for the public.

WHAT SOCIETY WOMEN USE TOR SHAMPOOING "Many society women," writes Mrs. Mae Martyn in the Philadelphia News, "prefer dolnsr their own shampooing rather than go to the hairdresser's. The reason Is obvious. Women whose social duties oc capy most of their time do not feel' like setting aside several hours for a trip to and from the shampoo parlor, hence the growing popularity of the home shampoo. The use of canthrox la gaining favor be cause It requires little work and after a canthrox shampoo has been enjoyed the scalp Is spotlessly clean and the hair takes on a delightful lustre and flufflness. Can throx shampoos are excellent for allaying Itching and correcting all scalp and hair troubles. To prepare, dissolve a teaspoon ful canthrox In a cup hot water and your shampoo is ready."
