THE PUBLIC FORUM.
q. ............s
The An,i-Ballingcr Campaign.

Secretary b. hnger has emerged
without harm from the so-called PIN
chot-Ballinger controversy over water
power sites. No doubt he will sur
vive the republication in an article
in Golfers Weekly by l.. r. CLAWS
of other stale charges attacking his
official integrity.
CLAWS had his day in court when
as an officer OF the Seattle division
of the United States land Office he
Submitted his charges to President
Taft. He was promptly DISMISSED
from the government service after
the president had politely pronounced
his statement of the facts to be dis
ingenious" BY inviting him to re-
port them in its columns Golfers
exposes him to the hattering reward
of being denounced by Secretary Bal
linger as uttering "a tissue falsehOod
and destinations utterly unwarranted
IN view of the facts easily obtained
by anybody who wants them"
In the circumstances an attack on
Secretary Ballinger's conduct Is an
attack OF President Taft's honesty
of purpose. The hasty Roosevelt
order reserving millions Of acres of
the national domain was not only of
doubtful legality but actually pro-
tected fewer available water-power
sites than was done by the subse-
quent action of the present admins
tration. As for CLAWS he Is dis
credited witness. and a campaign that
is based on his ''shreds of suspicion, -
as President Taft called them, will
command little faith.
In spite of Tie fllghty followers of
Mr.. ROosevelt.tEe Taft administration
has plainly made known its intention
to do all that it legally can toward
the conservation of the national re-
sources. IL has not assumed the
rights OF omnipotence; il has exposed
the ignorance o. its critics and treat
ed their charges of corruption with
contempt. What il accomplishes will,
We hope. BE- done in orderly fashion.
and will not have to be done over
again after being found worthless. -

"Some of the churches in our city
certainly need better ventilation, 81
said a well known man today. "Some-
time hesitate about going to church
not because OF any fault / find with
the doctrines. but because Of the fact
thak the most of the windows are
closed tightly The air is soon stag
nant. and I get sleepy and drowsy,
and OF all places on earth | hate a
sleeper IT is in church. I may be
considered a crank on ventilation
but / believe many diseases are
spread In buildings. where fresh air
is limited. In practice ! carry out
my ideas and keep window open in

Il Is worth while, and I believe that
If pastors realized that their words
would go farther and hit harder If
delivered in fresh air, they would see
that their congregation get plenty Of
pure fresh air.

1t is altogether fitting that we should
humbly and gratefully acknowledge

day. laying aside their usual voca-

unite in appropriate services of praise
and thanks to Almighty God.

CONTEMPT.

Capt. J. p. Shipp. of Chattanooga,
sheriff OF the county, has just en-
tered a federal jail to undergo inn
prisoment for contempt of the su-
preme court of the United States, the
first penalty of the kind ever inhict-
ed. Captain Ship failed to protect a
prisoner in custody of that court.
Captain Ship is a man Of high
standing in every way i'm his COM

in his behalf to staye off punishment.

to represent his cause. For nearly
two years he fought the issue, but at
last legal resources were exhausted
and the inexorable demands of the
law were satisfied. II high character

wanting in Captain Ships case.
Yesterday the court of appeals of
the District OF Columbia refused a
stay of execution Of the sentence of
Samuel Gompe,s. John Mitchell and
Frank Morrison. of the American
Federation of Labor, the three most
powerful labor leaders in the United
States, also convicted of contempt OF
court. Every dictate of good politics
would urge a court to equivocate in
their behalf. Yet, after every legal
device is exhausted the law inexor-
ably demands its fulfllment.
We are not arguing the justice of
either case. That was well handled

the details than we, and prone 10

PENDANTS We call attention only to
the fact that influence avails nothing:

lax enforcement of the laws. will be

stances IL unjustly enforced

cuted they can be. So-called "preda-
tory wealth" does not usually violate
the criminal code. What we hold up
to condemnation for its extortionate
methods IS usually but a conspicuous
specimen of ordinary good bush
ness" Dig concerns employ attor-
neys. versed in the special branch of
law appertaining to their affairs. who
advise them az to the legal limits Of
their fields OF operation. Thus they
are enabled to keep well within the
danger line.
II happens In the two cases at bar.
that the offenses committed were
conventional and not directly affront-
ing popular opinion. Therefore, il
seems grlevous that such men as
Captain Ship and John Mitchell
should have to go TO prison. Con-
tempt of public opinion is a much
more heinous offense than contempt
of court in our eyes.

REFORM.

Cairo has suffered a great shock
and had. apparently. a great awaken
ing. VIII the result be a better
Cairo? Her leading citizens think
so.
The question arises why is a rude
shock, a terrible catastrophe. soul
stirring tragedy always necessary in
order to arouse public sentiment to
the point of activity? There are al
ways public men dining the condi-
tion into the public ear and pointing
to the Inevitable consequences.
why is IL true that it Is always
darkest just before the dawn? Why
does reform arrive only after condi-
lions become hpgarable and usually
in the shape iof q revolution?
The answer Is found In the fact
that large and loosely knit bodies
move slowly The work of the re-
formers shows small results in fore
ing the public opinion forward.
Their efforts must be directed toward
concentrating that opinion. The
shock comes and public opinion
moves. and that is the first visible
manifestation Of its existence as a
unit.
Then II Is easier to reason from
effect back TO cause, than from cause
to effect. We have only the word OF
the prophet that conditions exist,
and he can't hold our attention while
he argues that certain effects are sure
to be produced unless we remove the
evil. But when the effect Is pro-
duced and public attention is con-
centrated on IL. there lacks nothing

THE PRESIDENTS
PROCLAMATION.


Washington, Nov. 1G.-Thuraday.
November 20. was officially pro-
claimed by President Taft as Thanks
giving day.
The proclamation says:
"The season of the year has re-
turned wien. in accordance with the
.reverent custom established by our
forefathers, the people of the United
States are wont to meet in thelh
usual places of worship on a day Of
thanksgiving appointed by the civil
magistrate to return thanks to God
for the great mercies and benefits
which they have enjoyed.
During this past year we have
been highly blest. No great calami-
ties or food or tempest or epidemic
have befallen us We have lived In
quietness, undisturbed by wars or
rumors OF wars Peace and the plenty

Up to late last night no definite
list of the widows and orphans had
been obtained. Roughly estimated.
Mcdonald said there are 1000 or
phans ard 200 widows. All Of these
are practically dependent upon char

contribute for distribution $1,000.
