sALLlNeEs Vs PINcHoT.

Richard Balinger of Seattle, Sec 'etary of the Interior. has figured much in the public prints of late. He has been accused of throwing open the Montana public lands to water power monomOly, Of having an un' due interest in the Alaska coal land patents, and Of refusing to follow the policies of conservation laid down by Roosevelt.
 Clifford Pinchot, chief of the For, estry bureau, Is largely responsible for the attacks on Ballinser. Pinchot attacked to save himself and his pol isies; for 1t Is generally believed tha; an effort was being made by Ealing CT to force Pinehot out of office.
 Raninsers denials to the numerous charges against him have been weak and unconvincing; he has pleaded as an excuse that he has always acted within the law. His motives may be entirely honest, but he has incurred "a wide spread suspicion that he has sshowed-or rather attempted to show pntn baked by Piuchot-tavoritism for a few mOnopolies.
 Pinchot has the sympathy of the people in the battle he is waging to preserve the national resources. Taft must support PinchOt or forfeit the confidence of a large portion of the voting population of the west.
