wide open. Mayor Ballinger not only
closed the worst of the dives, but
made Seattle model city. His life
was threatened often, but that is a
tribute offered every man who does
real work. Ballinger's life was threat
ened in Alabama also by colonel
who wanted to pull gun on him and
was made to desist only by a little
judicious choking. The secretary Of
the interior does not like to have these
old stories told Of him now, it is said.
But why did he get into the cabinet if
he did not want to be talked about?
The Point at Issue.
Having introduced the two princi-
pals in the mill" it may be as we'll to
tell what the row is all about. Prima-
rily it is over one of the Roosevelt poll
cies. Just before the ex-president left
Office he withdrew nearly a million
acres of timber and water site lands
from public entry. The ostensible rea-
son was to preserve the forests, but
the real purpose was to protect the
water power sites on portion of this
domain. Hardly had Secretary Balm
ger entered Office than he again threw
this land open to entry. Mr. Pinchot
thereupon appealed to President Taft,
with the result that $4,000 acres, con-
tanning some of the most valuable wa
ter sites, was a second time with
drawn
At the national irrigation convention
recently held at Spokane and at the
transmississippi congress- still more
recently in session at Denver, Mr..
Pinchot defended his conservation pol
icy amid immense enthusiasm. He
was especially cheered when he assert
ed that conservation of natural re-
sources is Roosevelt policy that Taft
is pledged to carry out. In his Spo-
kane address he boldly asserted that
power trust is being formed in the
country which is seeking to obtain
possession of the government water
site lands, leaving the inference plain
that Ballinger's action in throwing
open these lands left the way clear for
their acquisition by the trust This
was universally construed into an at
tack on Ballinger. At the same con-
ventiOn Ex-Governor Pardee of Cali
fornia assailed the secretary of the in
terror openly for having played into
the hands of private interests as
against the public veal

The mild and immediate effect of

Microbes Against Rats.

In regard to the war waged every
where now in the United States against
the rats, it is of interest to know that
two towns in Denmark, Vejle and Ribe,
have been completely cleared of rats by
the 8 of the bacterial culture 'Ratin,'
the discovery Of the noted chemist, DR..
Meumann, Of Aalborg. Now, another
town in Denmark, the city of Randers,
Is being treated the same way. The
total cost for the three places amounts
to about / 1000.
Uncle Sam is experimenting with
'Ratin' at the present moment So
far, Pier No, IL, East River, which is
used by the Commissary Department
Of the United States has been compile
tely cleared Of the rats, The superin-
dent of the pier and the chief inspec-
tor, G. Ford Satorjus, reported to the
depot quartermaster U. S. A., that
traps and many different bats were
used without result against the the
rats Of large size and destructive
habits on Pier Il. 'Ratin' was ther,
distributed in different places where
Plumbers Of rats had been seen, and
after three or four days no more rats
were seen, and since that time none

Must we bid goodbye to winter
Grasp its hand in sad farewell;
Though it is oft cold and dreary,
We are loath to break its spell,
Why to it our thoughts oft turn,
And true hearts so tightly cling?
Is it cause Of mem'ries cherished
That it ne'er again will bring?
Why doth time so swiftly fly, and,
In it's flight list to no man?
Why has it a favorite-none-
No prej'dice, no fore~thought plan?
And winter is a part Of time,
So all appeals are in vain;
Though we may long for its return,
1t will ne'er come back again,

NEWSPAPER USE AND ABUSE,


But few people are even-minded
enough to treat newspaper as it de-
serves to be treated, and the vast
majority win never know what a
paper is, and means until the great
medium costs them more and is hard
er to get. The modern public print is
50 ready at hand, SO cheap, 50 prolific
so common Of use, that not one per-
son in thousand ever weights il on
the scales OF sense, worth, convent
ence, and the measure Of its mission,
locally, and generally. 1t is bought
for song, either on the street, or by
subscription, hastily reviewed, snap
PLY judged, and cast aside. forgotten
instantly, save for such item as lies
closest to the reader with favor or
disfavor, as one of the bagatelles OF
daily life. No thought is given to the
cost. trouble, thought and labor Of its
utterance, nor to the fact that IT is
one Of the established and indispen-
sable features OF the day as is the
staple relied upon for sustenance at
the table Of the reader; the unthink-
ing take it as matter Of course and
treat il cavalierly on the general prin-
ciples applied to things to be had al
most for the asking.
While the paper spends its money
to employ brains and skill to make
Ii a means Of public good and safety
and improvement, and does its loyal
best 10 raise the communal standards
and commercial interests; and judges
all men and measures and conditions
from a strict and rational public pur-
view, the reader passes judgement
from the purely personal standpoint
and Yields no wider nor loftier mar
gin Of consideration than is produced
on the instant conclusion of the soli-
tary review. This is the worst Of the
injustices dealt out to the paper.
And strange to say, the non-sub-
scriber and non-advertiser are the
sharpest and promptest Of its critics.
The Morning Astorian's attitude in
this relation differs not at all from the
universal run of papers, but it is none
the less sensible Of the injustice. and
yearns for the fairer deal along with
the host Of its contemporaries over
the land. 1t does its best, appreci-
ates the hndlier interest Of its more
reasonable readers, deprecates the
avid mis-interpretations Of its non
supporters, and goes its way cheer
fully, with only the broad and COM
mon interests Of Astoria to guide and
inspire it.
