Albert l.. Moses, district attor-
ney, was an arrival Friday night
from attendance upon district
court at Conejos. Saturday he
visited Capulin on legal business
and went north on the evening
train. Mr.. Moses is instructing
justices of the peace and consta-
bles TO discourage gun packing in
their various districts. Carrying
concealed weapons is a serious
crime and the law makes it the
duty of peace officers to arrest the
offender without warrant and
arraign him before the nearest
justice where he may be heavily
fined

male quartet composed of Messrs.
Gibbs, Smith, Turner and kavalec.
rendered three selections in a man
ner that delighted the audience and
demanded encores, but the gentle
men did not respond. Miss Smith
and Mr. Turner gave two pleasing
duets on the piano, Over Hill and
Dale" by Engleman and Charge
of the Uhlans," by Bohm. Mrs.
Van Vechten and Mr.. Turner
rendered the we'll known march
from III Trovatore," /" making it one
of the best numbers on the pro-
gram. Mrs. Norland and Mr.. Gibbs
gave two vocal numbers, Some
day Again" by Greene and My
Faith Looks up to Thee" by Bass
ford, their voices blending in per-
feet harmony. Last, but not least,
Miss Raugh, of Alamosa, gave two
very difficult piano compositions,
"Tarantelle," by Heller, and "Tril-
by" by GODDARD, the latter des-
criptive piece, which were executed
with the grace and ease of the
accomplished musician which Miss
Raugh truly is.
Many of the patrons of the
concert, which was given under the
auspices Of the Epworth league,
expressed the wish that such treats
would occur more frequently and
no doubt they will if the energetic

ground. AS a matter of fact the Presi-
dent can not properly bear hand IN
any controversy about the Speaker of
the House or the rules for the govern
ment of that body. 1t would be gen
orally resented if he did, as congress is
separate department of government.
Speaker Cannon and his powerful
friends and Senator Aldrich and his
powerful friends will take care of those
purely congressional questions. The
senator has been touring the West re-
Gently in private car, addressing
clearing house associations and bank
ers' organizations in the cause of edu-
eating the public up to the necessity
for financial legislation. 1t is not for
gotten that this trip is also giving the
West an opportunity to observe that
the Rhode Island senator has neither
horns nor cloven hoofs, and that in the
flesh he is really an attractive person
atty. He has been as clever as usual
in the presentation of his case, and
probably has tickled the Westerners
somewhat by the customary "jOlly.
In Omaha they even warmed up to the
extent of presenting him with pair
of ''chaps or leather brooches, such
as the cowboys wear. The President
wanted Senator Aldrich TO make this
trip, not only in the interest of popu-
lar education on financial questions, but
in the hope that the visit would ac-
complish something toward dispelling
sectional disapproval of eastern lead
indirectly in his Boston speech. during
-. i
prevail upon Senator Aldrieh.
Speaker Cannon tarries in the West
conducting his own campaign against
the opposition to him. Every few days
he is ischarging grape and canister
into the ranks of his enemies and lay
ing a strong foundation for the contest
that he and his friends will wage dur"
ing the coming summer and autumn
against the insurgents. He blames the
newspapers very much for activity IN
stirring up enmities against him and his
faction. attributing this activity to his
refusal TO remove the tariff from wood
pulp and print paper. He claims that
a delegation of newspaper proprietors
promised TO boom him for the presi-
dency and TO show their powerful favor
otherwise. if he would help them to get
cheaper print paper. The newspaper
proprietors, particularly Herman Rit-
ter, of the New York Stats Zeitung,
a leader in the delegation that visited
him, Indignantly deny that any such
promise or hope of reward was held out
to the Speaker.
He is not at all in a hurry about
coming to Washington and expects be-
fore he does come TO have a big re-
ioinder to Senator Cummins. who, the
Speaker declares, is not a Republican
if he (Cannon) is a Republican. The
Speaker made the first speech attack
ing Cummins in Iowa and Cummins re-
piled in Chicago, since which time the
Speaker has been making ready TO have

cock has indicated that he proposes
to have a new set of assistant post
masters general, which means that four
men, acceptable TO the present admin
istration, win take the place of Roose-
welt appointments at $4,000 a year. The
three assistant secretaries of the treas
ury have all been removed since Taft
took Office and new men put into their
places, with the exception Of one va

very few of the deposed men are
being transferred to other places. Such
was the case with First Assistant Post
master General Grandfeld whose ap-
pointment as postmaster Of Washington
at a salary Of $4,000 a year has just
been announced. He is from Missouri
but has grown mp in the civil service,
knows all the ms and onts of the postal

made of these changes in some quarters

came to town. The Rooseveltians did
not dare attack the President vigorous
ly in the open and therefore they were
hammering away at members of the
cabinet. Diseredit few of those over
worked men and breach would be
made in the wall for further and more
direct operations against Taft himself.
Had not Secretary of State Knox been
viciously assailed for dismissing Charles
r. Crane as minister to China? Had
not the motive behind it been declared
to be the opposition Of the j. Pierpont
Morgan interests in Wall Street, Had
not Postmaster General Hitchcock been
accused of aiding the Guggenheims to
get control of the coal supply of Alaska
which would be worth untold millions
of dollars in the distant future? Then
the members of the cabinet must stand
together and repel these insinuations.
And they did hold a meeting on the
case of Ballinger and get the news of
the Roosevelt conspiracy into the news
papers and all that.
Which naturally stimulated curiosity
as to what Secretary Ballinger said to
the President when he had driven up
IN his departmental pHdttOh th0 h4oA IA
ING after the return. But Secretary
Ballincer did not tell and President
Taft did not tell and the tenor of their
remarks in the oval room still remain
a secret. An eager coterie around the
White House offices has been waiting
for some sign or portent, perhaps a
statement from the secretary or the
President that would warrant tall head
lines on the front page and, over the
! first column, but none has been forth
coming. Men have been busy express

what Roosevelt himself would do or say

more about them from time to time as
the winter progresses. Bitter politIea

cies are involved and the agitation

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-12-03

Incidentally it is worth noting that
Just about the time all this hurrah about
getting Roosevelt back into the White
House as Taft s successor was at its
height, Senator Cummins strobe forth
with the assertion that he expected
President Taft would be renominated
and reelected. That took little wind
out of some sails for it Indicated that
the western insurgents as distinguished
from the ultra Rooseveltians were not
furthering the 1912 Roosevelt boom.
Another of the President s early call
ers was Vice President Sherman, whose
request for the nomination of Circuit
Judge Alfred c. Coke as Supreme Court
Justice indicated that New York pro-
poses to be around early and that the
Vice President wants not only fellow
townsman of Utica but a Republican
named to fill the vacancy created by
the death of Mr.. Justice Peckham. I'm
doubtedly big New York lawyers, who
are concerned lest New York and the
second circuit be deprived of represen-
tation by the nomination OF some one
for justice, outside of that circuit TO
which Justice Peckham belonged, were
prompt to urge the Vice President to
help out. Circuit Judge Coke is of dis
tinguished lineage. The late Roscoe
Conkling was his kinsman He was ap-
pointed to the United States circuit
court by President Roosevelt in June,
1902, and was one of the earliest i'm
portant judicial selections that Mr..
Roosevelt made.
However, no word came from the

said about it, for he is keeping his own
counsel regarding that Supreme Court
vacancy He will not make the nomi-
nation till after congress meets, and
he NAV not announce his selection till
the list of nominations is made up for
despatch to the Capitol.
Thus the procession of visitors, great
and small, has been surging against
the White House doors and the Presi-
dent has been shaking hands with them,
expressing thanks for sentiments Of
good viii. and all the time edging to-
ward his desk to get the growing vol
ume of business reduced. The process

another say. He has gone right into
the heart of the insurgent country, ap-
pealing to the very people whose rep
resentatives and senator's come down to
Washington to fight him in congress.
The Speaker is reported to be making
Roadway. The westerners Like fight
ing man and are giving his side of the
case a respectful hearing. His present
activities follow the appearance of the
President in that same section and, be-
fore he comes to Washington, will cover
a very large section of the big Missis-
sippi Valley. His vigorous champion
shin of his course should help the
Speaker in his efforts this winter in
shaping legislation and keeping down
expenditures, because his appeals ON
the hastings are certain to eniighten
the opposition constituencies and make
the work of their representatives at
Washington less effective. Other eff
forts are under way. The Speaker s
friends have become alert and are
spreading information TO show how he
has stood for economy in government
and has furthered legislation for many
policies. now styled progressive. His
opponents have to admit that there is
a very strong case in the Speaker 5
behalf. The champions of the other
side, however, have been most active
in putting their assertions before the
public. The Speaker has been contnt
in the knowledge that, as chairman Of
house appropriations for many years
and then as the presiding officer Of
the house. he saved the American peo-
pie many millions of dollars and assum-
ed without faltering the very unpop-
ular task Of curbing congress during
an era Of unprecedented extravaganza.
There have been numerous tremors
in recent DAYS that seem TO forecast
a general shakeup in certain of the de-
partments and the ousting of more
prominent officials out into the cold,

WASHINGTON, November 15.-Sec-
retarv of the Interior Ballinger was
one of the first to get little Of the
Presidents time after the latter re-
turned to Washington. He drove up
in his departmental phaeton very early
after the President S first arrival in his
Office and had long audience. 1t came
lust after a vigorous revival Of the
Ballinger- Pinchot controversy and the
publication by former Special Agent
l.. R. CLAWS of the history of the
Cunningham coal eases in Alaska. The
Rooseveltians the country over had
made great TODD about that history,
intended to show that the present Sec
retary of the interior had been active
" interested as an attorney in rushing
those coal claims, involving fortune
as large as Rockefeller s, to nnal
patent. They had no immediate bear
ing upon the controversy with thlef
Forester Clifford Pinchot. although the
department of agriculture, of when
Mr.. Pinchot is a bureau official, has had
something to do with the investigation
The old hurrah about the necessity
of throwing either Pinchot or Ballnger
to the wolves sounded forth again. The
secretary told his friends anew that
he was satisfied with the endorsement
President Taft gave him and the old
newspaper files were Tesurrected to see
Just what it was that the President said
on that occasion. 1t was really about
as strong an endorsement of Balllnger
and as vigorous a denunciatlon or
CLAWS as Nh. Ballinger himself could
have wished. And, of course, Chief
Pfnchot was Intercepted and he told
his friends. not for publication but as
an evidence of good faith, that he was
going to stay right where he was and
if they got him out they would have
to throw him out.
The talk of a Roosevelt cabal, ac-
cording to which his friends were earn
estlv at work LAYING the foundation
for his denomination. was also heralded
in most impressive fashion. The par
Ticular interest in it was that cabinet
officers had been responsible for put
ting it forth just before the President
