THERE IS TALK AGAIN
RESIGNATION OF PINCHOT
Complications Likely to Follow IL
Forester Is Driven from the
Service.

There are still repeated rumors
that the chief of the Forest Service.
Clifford Pinchot, will resign, but
these rumors are each time promptly
denied by his friends. 1t begins to
look as if there is some truth in the
report, on the principle where there
is so much smoke there must be
some fire. The country will come
to the conclusion that Secretary Bal
linger is making things disagreeable
for Mr.. Pinchot, so as to drive him
into reSigning The Secretary is
on the wrong side of this controversy
and If he goes farther it will look
as if he is favoriug the corporations
who have been making war on the
Forest Service. The latest report to
come from Washington is dated the
26th and is as follows:
1t is rumored around WASHINGTON
tonight that Clifford Pinchot. chief
of the Forest Service, because of the
interference with his administration
by Secretary of the Interior Bal
linger and Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson, intends to resign and get
out.
The rumor lacks confirmation,
butts appears to be given color by
reason of the fact that Pinchot. for
more than a month has neglected
his Government work in order to
collaborate with eX-Secretary Gar
field in writing history of the
Roosevelt administration, and fur
ther because Pinchot is known to be
deeply disheartened by reason of the
attitude assumed by President Taft
and his cabinet toward the forestry
and conservation propagandas.
Pinchot's closest friends declare
he will not resign, but will fight all
who oppose him.
Should Pinchot be driven to send
ing in his resignation some ugly
criticisms will be made regarding
the policy of the Secretary of the In
terror. He is charged already in
inner circles as favoring the big cor
porations of the west
