POINTS IN ROOSEVELT'S SPEECH.
An Outline of the Qualities Which Make a Man Useful
to the State.
My position as regards the moneyed interests can be put in a few words. In
evry civ Mired society property rights must be carefully safeguarded. Ordmanly,
and in the great majority of cases, human rights and property rights are funda
mentally and in the long r<jn identical; but when it clearly appears that there
is a real conflict between them, human rights must have the upper hand, for
praoerty belongs to man and not man to property.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong
man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could Have done them better. The
credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena. . . . Shame on the
man of cultivated taste who permits refinement to develop into a fastidiousness
thv»t unfits him for doing the rough work of a workaday world.
War is a dreadful thing, and unjust war is a crime against humanity. But
it is such a crime because it is unjust, not because it is war. The choice must
ever be in favor of righteousness, and this whether the alternative be peace or
whether the alternative be war. The question must not be merely. Is there to
be peace o- war? The question must be. Is the right to prevail?
The greatest of all curses is the curse of ster.lity, and the severest of all
condemnations should be that visited upon wilful sterility. The first essential
in any civilization is that the man and the woman shall be father and mother
of healthy children, so that the race shall increase and not decrease.
The good cituen in a republic must realize that he ought to possess two
sets of qualities, and that neither avails without the other. He must have
♦Hose qualities which make 'or efficiency, and he rr.ust also have tHose qualities
which direct the efficiency :.<<o channels for the public good. He is useless if
he is inefficient.
The good citizen will demand liberty for himself, and as a matter of p-ide
ho will see to it that others receive the liberty which he thus claims as his own.
Probably th- best test of true love of liberty m any country is the way m which
minorities are treated in that country. Not only should there be complete liberty
m matters cf religion and opinion, bi^ complete liberty for each man to lead his
life as he desires, provided only th2t in so doing he does not wrong his neighbor.
Mr. Roosevelt's speech is printed in full on page eight, part four, of this
morning's Tribune.
LIQUOR DROUTH IS HERE
Gaynor's New Excise Squad
Spreads Terror. Over Town.
GREEN 'COPS' ON WATCH
Tipplers Warned That the City
Will Be a Sahara and Stock
Up in Advance.
The saloon's challce'.lke doors ill re

(lower nipped by a late fro?t. its deli
cate petal! sucked together and its sap
receding to the roots, even so will the
Sunday liquor dispensary respond to the
Mayor's Icy touch.
Bo much fur the poetry of the situa
tion, unless it is added that many a
"rum blossom" will blush unseen at
home, for that is where the halt pints
and the bottled beer, so generously pro
vided at the barrooms last night, will
be consumed. All over the city the sa
loon proprietors gave tlwir customers to
understand that day would b« 'extra
dry." They took the em and stocked up.
Hundreds of green \ ollcemen in plain
clothes are to be scattered throughout
the boroughs to look for excise \inla
tions. The saloonkeepers won't know
Hum and will refuse to take chances.
Saloons which in the memory of the old
est inhabitant always have done a merry
business on the Sabbath will be dosed
tipht. No political pull will be consid-
red effective against this army of pry
in? strangers.
It was reported that Chief Inspector
ekrhnUttbsrfer visited the Mill Regiment
Armory, in Brooklyn. OH Friday, where
a great body of new patrolmen were
drilling, and selected two hundred of
them for special Sunday duty in Man
hattan. These men. it is understood, are
to put on the clothes rvf the common peo
ple and wander nonchalantly from sa
loon to barrom and back to saloon
again, buying dOjdOf where the law Is
bring violated, but never revealing their
Identity.
Such at least is th*» tip which has been
passed along among the liquor frater
nity. In Brooklyn they say a hundred
such plaindothes men are to do the
same thing. Over there it Is said that
the "boss" himself will he at the •"cor
ner" and that th« watchers and look
outs at the side doors Will let in only
those whom they have known since early
childhood. Hut Just as brisk a trade
in half pints and bottled beer went on
on that side of the East River last night
as on this side. an it is conjectured that
the Sunday drouth would be of equal
Ir.tf nslty.
The green 'v^i'?" who form the "Uay
nor excise squad"' reported for duty
promptly at midnight, when the Sunday
embarco went into effect. They were
told not to make any arrests, but. im
mediately upon making ■ case against

Of the fa ■!>
F!:iinrlotli;s men by the hundred, in
< hiding many wardmen. all of whom are
known to the saloonkeepers, have lost
their soft berths on both sides of the
river and last night were seen "pound-
Ing the pavements" To add Insult to
injury, from their point of view, the
work of the (laynor squad is to be
checked by them and the other r.-^ulir
patrolmen.

[Trim The Tribune Bureau 1
Washington. April .'3. —Highly ken«a«'
I tional testimony tending to show tlie mx
istence «>f a conspiracy in the Fores?,
Service to force Secretary Balllnger 1 1
retirement from th* 1 Cabinet • >» pre
senter! at to-day'.^ session of the Ballln
' per- Pinehot committee.
This testimony was furnished by
1 Oeorgs otis <mith. Director of the fJeo
. logical Survey, who was appointed by
Preskleut Roosevelt, and who declared
that his bureau had received what wa.f
tiUitarr.ount to an invitation to Join in
the anti-Balllnper crusade. When ho
refused to • ■ om* a party to any such
programme, and »;*id he would renia'.n
loyal to a ch»f whom he regarded as
efficient, earnest and honorable, he was
threatened with th- "publicity club."
Mr. Smtlh, who has an international
reputation in the scientific '.vorld. was an
earnest witness, and his quick and can
did answers to all questions, coupled
with his wide knowledge of the many
topics on which he was interrogated,
made a d*-ej> impression ->n the commit
tee. He had not concluded his direct
testimony when adjournment until
Thursday was taken
Then in Intrigue.
Olfford Pin. hot. former Chief Forester,
end Ovrton W. Price, former Chief
Assistant Forester, were named by Mr.
Smith as I ■ of the men enlaced in
an intrigue to force Mr. f:i±i':r.<-r':» re
tirement to private lit'-. Mr. Smith
.«\\..r^ that both of these men sought
to prejudice him against Secretary Bal
lin«~r. Mr. Pine-hot told the witness
that Secretary Baiiinger was a "yellow
dog." that the way he had turned his
back on his old friend. Jam*>s R. Gar
field. Wii<« "contemptible." and that ho
was "the greatest enemy to the con
servation cause."
When Mr. Smith asked for a bill of
particulars ..nd pointed nut that the
charges made against Mr. Bal!in?er were
has»>d on erroneous assumptions, false
hood* and half truths Mr. Pinehot ac
cused him of 'toadying to Ballinger."
Mr. Smith told Mr. Pirn hot this* was not
so. He explained that Mr. Cirfleld was
his fir.-- choice for Secretary of the In
terior, and Ballinscer his second. Further
more, he was convinced that Mr. Bal-
Jln«er \»a» acting in good faith in pro
moting the conservation policy of the
former administration and was trying
to ad everything in his pOVOfI to safe-
C'jard |ww*: sites on the public domain.
The only differ^n ►■ between RaHtnger
and Oarneld related to the interpreta
tion of the laws enacted by Con*r»*ss.
When Mr. Smith asked Mr Pin. hot
what he wanted him .to do th« former
forester said that he ought to chansa
face, .nd intimated that it would Us
well for him to join those who were op
posing Bairinser. Mr. Smith said that
inasmuch is he was faced the same way
as before Mr. Ballinsrer became Secre
tary, he could not follow Mr RaAaOi
suggestion. He told Mr. Pinehot that
apparently the only thins he i Pinehot)
had against him was that ha m M Mr.
Bailinger's friend. When he added that
he would give up his pla- c in the gov
ernment service when he reached a point
that hi- could not be loyal to his chief.
Mr P r..h. t fold him it was Bo«sei»se>
for him to talk about resigning. In the
same interview Mr. Pinch** told Mr.
Smith that he i Smith., was a markeJ

To "Get" Ballinger.
