BLACKMAILING IN POLITICS;
DISCOVERIES MADE BY MR. ROOSEVELT IN THE WEST. REPUBLICAN MANAGERS WHO HAVE LAID THEMSELVES OPEN TO PROSECUTION -- EVEN WOMEN AND INDIANS ASKED TO CONTRIBUTE -- FEELING THE SPOILS SYSTEM HAS BRED.
The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 -- Good Government, the civil service paper of this city, will publish tomorrow an article on political blackmail in the West, containing some of Commissioner Roosevelt's discoveries during a tour of investigation which the United States Civil Service Commission had directed him to make of certain Indian reservations and Indian schools in South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas.
Charles Curtis was born January 25, 1860, in North Topeka, Kansas. He was descended from White Plume, chief of the Kaw Tribe, and Louis Pappan, one of the original settlers of North Topeka.
His mother died when he was three. He and his sister lived with his grandparents at the Kaw Indian Agency in Council Grove until he was eight; at that time, he returned to North Topeka where he lived with his paternal grandparents until he completed his schooling. Curtis attended Topeka High School for one year, but did not graduate. Instead, in1878, he began the study of law, reading in the law office of A. H. Case. In 1881 he was admitted to the bar. He served as County Attorney from 1884-1889.
In 1892, he was elected to the House of Representatives; he served in that body until his election to the Senate in 1907. He continued to serve in the Senate until his election to the vice-presidency under Herbert Hoover in 1928. He was the first Native American to be elected to national office.

Many graduating KU architects & civil engineers apparently FAIL to grasp is built environments can’t/don’t displace natural systems.Western Civilization studies perpetuate “Manifest Destiny Myths” that compromise health, safety & environment of future generations!
U.S. Army of the West Topographical Engineers failed to heed John Wesley Powell’s advice to align Great Plains geo-political boundaries with glacial age watershed ridgelines (highways). Their “common body of knowledge” tolerates Elevation Awareness Deficiency (EAD) …
Kanza Territory (sustainable development) land-use planning and zoning guidelines often EXCLUDE considering both slope & soil type. Professional engineers may neglect cumulative IMPACTS of stormwater runoff volume & velocity on “man-made water control” structures!

What my Kansas Environmental Leadership Program (2005-2008) field studies found was that our region’s politicians have become adept at dodging accountability for adverse outcomes by carefully crafting “plausible denial” scenarios that rely upon “faulty assertions” by third-party professional engineering firms.
Inconsistent application of the “Kansas Golden Rule” by appointed & elected public officials constitutes a violation of our maritime “General Prudential Rule” case law. It governs preservation & protection of our Earth Ship’s common waters to the sea!

Other than--perhaps--in 1910, was there ever a more auspicious time to listen to the lessons of Theodore Roosevelt?
TR's project of leadership, service and national character are sorely needed today. Just in time there's a new release of a neglected classic, The Seven Worlds of Theodore Roosevelt, by Edward Wagenknecht. (1958)
This remarkable volume was initially released in 1958, the centennial of TR's birth. It takes the reader through the various worlds which Roosevelt inhabited (and, in some cases, shaped): The Worlds of Action, Thought, Human Relations, Family, Spiritual Values, Public Affairs, and War & Peace. More than any other single book I know, Seven Worlds gives the reader a comprehensive view of the extraordinary life of one of America's greatest, most enduring leaders.
The list author says: "Ken Burns' TV Documentary on The National Parks renewed interest in the subject, as well as one of its founders, Theodore Roosevelt. T.R. was many things during his extraordinary life: adventurer, outdoorsman, naturalist, military hero, proponent of the Panama Canal, and President. Roosevelt has been the object of many excellent biographies including those listed here."
