Ballinger and Pinchot

The statement made by Chief For
ester Pinchot, now in California, that
the so-called Ballinger-Pinchot fight
has always been a mystery to him be-
cause there is no fight, confirms the
largely prevailing impression that the
newspaper controversy that has gone
by that name has been stirred up
mainly by others than the principals
figuring in It.
A studied effort has been made in
certain quarters, mostly hostile to the
administration, to make out that the
plans for the conservation Of our natu-
raj resources, outlined during the
Roosevelt regime, had been. or were
about to be. abandoned, and that what
ever policy Mr.. Taft should pursue he
would have to dispense with the serv-
ices of either Secretary Ballinger or
Chief Forester Pinchot. Mr.. Pinchot's
declaration indicates that there is no
such conflict between the different
branches Of the administration that
would prevent them from working in
harmony toward the desired end.
There is no question that Mr.. Taft's
confidence in Secretary Ballinger is un-
shaken, n that he wants him to re-
main in the cabinet, and, further
more. that he is in hearty sympathy
with the work under the Jurisdiction
Of Chief Forester Pinchot and desires
1t to be continued under his able di-
r%ection. In a word, Mr.. Taft wants
the nation to have the benefit of keep
ing both Mr.. Ballinger and Mr.. Pin
chot in the public service, pulling to-
gether in the same direction, carrying
out the conservation policy of the
Roosevelt administration, Of which Mr..
Taft, as a member of the cabinet, was
a part, and which he has adopted for
himself.
Both Mr.. Ballinger and Mr.. Pinchot
have repeatedly declared that there
is no such antagonism as would pre-
vent them from working together, and
their continuance in their respective
positions will be the best proof that
any differences that may exist are Of
minor moment.

No Violence.

The street car strike leaders should
impress It upon themselves, and upon
their followers, that resort to violence
and disorder, no matter what the
provocation, would seriously ieopar-
die their position in the community,
and before the public generally.
Whether the street car strike now
on can be won by the men must de-
pend largely upon good g~eneralship,
but that it can be lost quickly and ir-
~retrievably by lawlessness should be
palpable to all. Omaha has had strikes
before, some successful and some I'M
successful. but 1t has never had a
strike which achieved success through
the assaulttng OF men or the destruc-
ton of property.
At the inception OF the strike The
Bee said that the people OF Omaha
were in no mood for a street car strike
and regarded the present difficulties
as the result Of altogether too precipi-
tate action. We are sure we stated
the situation correctly, and can say,
with equal confidence in it's truth, that
the community is in no mood what
ever for ~disorderly outbreaks in con
nection with this strike.
When such outbreaks occur strike
leaders usually assert either that they
cannot control their men or that the
hoodlumism is melted by the company.
But blaming resort to violence on one
another would be fruitless. 1t is not
excuses we want, nor recrimination,
but prevention.

English. Speaking Alliance.

In America we have seen Lord
Charles B~eresford before, but we do
not know him well enough to have
an opinion on any but the friendly
personal reason which led him to
hope for an English-speaking alli-
strife in the world.
II is not quite the Beresford we
have known to be alarmed at the
British unrest" of which publicists
write. Nervousness has a tinge OF
alarm and cowsrdice. Beresford is
not a man to be nervous owe the bud
get or whether the lords reject the
bill and dissolve Parliament or not
There is no precedent for a rejection
of an important supply bill sent from
the commons. But the end of the
empire would not come with a Par
liamentary disagreement. Beresford
has little confidence in either the
army's or the navy's preparedness, but
surely he believes in the British ability
to swim out"
We cannot be sure just what the
admiral meant by his alliance sug-
g~estion. In any formal sense it is
impossible. II is not a conclusion at
tainable through diplomatic agree
ment. 1t cannot follow a natural
course Of racial ~fondness, for there is
no such thing. We have been slow to
recognize the great service England
performed for us during the Spanish
war. The thousands of Americans
who see London every summer in
crease inharmony rather than cement
mutual amity. Almost every sporting
event Of an international sort ends in
friction.
II any Englishman contemplates
pressure upon Germany by the United
States he will be in danger OF disap-
pointment. American discussion has
already given it out that these three
commercial nations will be moved at
any juncture by commercial consider
alton. AS a matter Of sentimental
like or dislike, we should wish well
for Admiral Beresford II he com
manded 3 line OF battle against n
enemy. for he is rated as 'our kind
Of people" But war or diplomacy is
not governed by such personal senti-
mental preferences. The conception
Of an English-speaking alliance has a
romantic charm, but has little of at
traction of practical craftsmanship

Governor John A. Johnson.

There is no obscurity in reaching an
estimate Of Governor John A Johnson's
personality. He had fought, as cir
cumstances compelled him to do, inch
by inch, through disadvantages to
almost the highest success Of a public
man in our country. To executive and
speaking ability he had added a social
attribute Of aptness and gracefulness,
which carried into the east a strong
impression that he was equal to the
discharge OF any duty which fortune
might lay upon his shoulders.
It seemed to be the opinion in Min
nesota that he would have been a
fourth time governor Of his state.
Thinking national democrats rather
held to the expectation that, II Bryan
or a New York man did not come to
the presidential nomination Of his
party in 1912, Governor Johnson's
availability would have lifted him to
the position.
Always in America II is doubtful
whether the situation of the Johnson
boyhood is not a high educational ad-
vantage. How can a boy learn more
than by going through the MILE
What better for mental growth and
character building can he do than de-
fend his mother and provide for her?
Johnson grew steadily in his news
paper profession, in legislative prac-
tice and in public speaking. Long be-
fore his death he was able to meet on
equal terms any man in public life.
Often, since he reached a position
OF more than statewide reputation, he
has been likened to Lincoln. The
spare figure and friendly manner sup
piled the outward resemblance and the
life OF pool boyhood indomitable de-
termination and plain speech supplied
an additional likeness, yet there was
a wide difference between the back
woods life on the slavery border and
the Swedish-American atmosphere of
Minnesota. The two great Americans
were, after all, not at bottom much
alike. The similarity might have be-
come more pronounced with ten or
twelve added years.
Governor johnson was a son Of the
northwest and a natural product in
blood, and development. If he
had reached the presidency the nation
would have been proud of his great
ness.

Omaha daily bee., 1909-09-22

During his first campaign for the COVER
norship, on the democratic ticket, seven
years ago, he was assailed in speech and
pamphlet all over the state. BY both
means the people we're urged TO vote
against John A. johnson because His
Father was a Drunken Loafer" and His
Mother Took in Washing" Mr.. Johnson's
managers began to get frightened. Some
of the supporters requested him to make
a strong, sweeping denial.
Il cannot" he replied.
TIL allegations were true, but he met
them with the same spirit and vigor which
have characterized his actions when, as
"a boy, he had, on numerous occasions,
found IL necessary TO set down the basket
OF washing he was carrying TO or from
the home Of his mother to that OF a
patron, and prove upon the bodies Of top
lofty young persons that he was not re-
sponsible for his father, and that he was
proud Of his mother. And be IL TO the
credit of the voters OF Minnesota that they
delved deeper into the mans past and un-
covered that part II his life which showed
self-sacrifice, devotion to duty, and his
tender care OF his little brothers and sist-
ers and his overburdensd mother.
The Tevulsion was tremendous against the
opposing candidate. In the election that
followed Minnesota gave Roosevelt a ma
jority Of l61, 434. while Johnson ran 81. R3
