Good Law Without Justice

Really that man Ballinger Ia the
most law-abiding man on record.
He seems TO find legal reasons for
not doing more good things than any
body else in Washington. and that Is
going some.
Here is a case In point.
Under the Roosevelt regime the
United States forestry department.
among other things, supervised the
cutting OF timber on Indian lands. Now
the Indian lands are strictly legally
under the charge OF the secretary OF
the interior, while the forest reserve
experts are under the secretary of az.
ricuiture.
But tree Is a tree whether II be-
longs to an Indian tribe or white
mans government. so. under Roose-
welt. there being no forestry experts
In the interior department and plenty
OF them In the agriculture department.
II was deemed proper to take as good
care OF the Indians trees as OF the
white mans.
SO when contractors bought stand
ing timber of the Indians, the United
states forestry experts got on the
job and watched the logging. They
saw that "slashings" were burned to
prevent forest fires-they saw that
young trees we're not ruined. and es-
| pecially that the logs taken out were
honestly scaled.
In one season. on one reservation.
one hundred and seventy million feet
OF lumber was cut and scaled under

, hanos-are alarmed at the winds or
popular sentiment which are shrieking
through the sails and at the heavy
laboriug OF the political ship, and they
are convinced that 1t Is time TO throw
something or somebody overheard.
'Cannonism" has been burden
on the party for some time now. This
fact was recognized by Taft and
Roosevelt during the last campaign.
Hitchcock was alive to the fact also.
"Cannonism is the heaviest burden
which we are compelled TO carry"
said Taft, in speaking TO a friend In
Cincinnati last September.
Even during the presidential cam
paign a number OF members OF con-
gress, particularly In the middle west.
were obliged TO unload the weight OF
"Cannonism" before they could make
their congressional race. Several
came to this congress pledged to vote
against Cannon and the rules Some
kept this pledge and some did not.
Unfortunately for the members, the
load Of "Cannonism" Is not so easy
10 be thrown overheard. Cannon has
been chosen speaker OF the sixty-first
congress. This is merely the special
session OF that congress. Next De-
cember begins the regular session and
the following winter will see the final
session of this congress. ending March
4. 1911 Al ali these sessions Jos. @.
Cannon, OF Danville, Ill. will preside.
Just at present Serene Payne. OF
New York, Is doomed as the successor
10 Cannon. This Is because Payne
has stood for the comparatively lower
duties of the house bill In the wran-
giles OF the conference. The Repub-
lican members seem TO think that any.
thing which is little better than the
Aldrich bill Is enough 10 make It's
sponsor popular hero. In view OF
the fact that the Payne bill Is an
upward revision from the Dingley law
II will be some time before Serene
Payne can oe ranked as revision
downwarder or progressive Repub-
lican. But the unfriends OF Cannon
see At to boom him now for Cannon

Meantime the Democrats are getting
ready TO elect Champ Clark as the
next speaker And all the time Victor
Murdoch smiles.

met. While he does not deny that
the policing OF about one hundred mil
lions OF dollars worth Of property
for the standing timber on Indian
lands are equal to that-was good
thing. still the letter OF The law did
not authorize such a procedure.
So he orders the lands turned back
TO his department (Really that means
that he ordered the forestry depart
ment's watchmen OF the lands, for
that Is the only result OF his act).
And 80 these vast storehouses OF
wealth are TO be tuned owe to the
waste and loot and graft OF the lum-
Der contractors, the Indians are TO be
despoiled. and. worst OF all, forest
fires will soon be burning millions OF
dollars worth OF lumber and denuding
the hills.
Even II we don't object TO seeing
Indians robbed, there Is no sense in
bringing down needless floods upon
the farms of white men. and that will
be the result OF the wholesale forest
destruction that Ballinger has opened
the door to.
Really, TO state II in the kindest
possible terms, Ballinger Is woefully
long on law and desperately short on
justice

WASHINGTON, d. c.. July 30
The present tariff bill has sealed the
fate Of Speaker Cannon. This Is the
last OF his term Of speakership.
This announcement comes from the
former friends OF the veteran states
man OF Danville. Ill. IL is not the
threat of Victor Murdock's band or
insurrectos. 1t is the talk or prom
inent and hitherto influential members
OF the Cannon organization--mostly
members from the middle west.
Cannon got US into this mess Is
what they say. I'VE never intended
TO revise the tariff upward. See what
Cannon did with the conference COM
n,ittee. We were In favor OF the lower
duties OF the house bill. That darned
old rascal Of a speaker packed the
conference committee against lower
duties and against Serene Payne. who
favored lower duties. He put Fordney
Of Michigan and Calderhead OF Kan
sas on instead OF men like Mccall
who came next In order OF seniority.
He Is responsible for the stubborn
Sight In conference for the duties OF
the Aldrich bill. He Is responsible.
IN fact, for all revision upward. He
betrayed the Republican members OF
the house He no longer deserves The
members confidence"
Which means that Cannon has been
elected to be goat"
BY sacrificing Cannon, II Is hoped
by Republican members OF the middle
west that they may still save the Re-
publican majority of the house. Some
thing they know has got TO break.
Somebody has got to suffer the con-
sequences of revision upward. For
quite a while the prospect has been
improving for a Democratic majority
In the house. AT such rate has this
improvement gone on that now II
is recognized even by the Republicans
as a moral certainty-"unless some
thing busts'
Cannon is the first thing to be hurl'
ed into the breech. To change the
metaphor, he is chosen as the Jonah

WITH MICHIGAN

Within q year, in each OF the fol-
lowing states. the people will have
the opportunity OF choosing a senator:
Michigan. Ohio, Wyoming. Montana.
California and Utah
In the character OF their population
and In their political ideas these COM
monwealths are akin to the insurgent

Michigan? It should not be different
from Minnesota and Wisconsin. Both
its Senators. Smith and Burrows, have
