A PPRECIATIVE OF the effrots of
IN Senator Frank P. Flint and Con-
"A gresham J. c. Needham, who
were both committee members whose
influence counted heavily in the fight
of the citrus growers of Southern Cali
fornia for tariff protection in congress,
banquet was given those gentlemen
last night at Levy's by the orange
| growers of Southern California. More
than 375 men sat down to the spread,
which was concluded with some strong
speeches. An unexpected guest was
| Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot, whose
welcome as he was seen entering the
room was spontaneous, hearty and pro-
| longed.
The trend of the speeches, relating in
| all their ramifications to the citrus IN
dustrv and its needs for protection and
defense from spoliation by foreign
growers and by railroad tarif con-
structors, was generally to laud the
| actions of congress in every particular,
and in particular it's newly devised
tariff schedule. The meeting at all
times resembled a Republican love
feast, and when Senator Flint was
most loudly proclaiming his undylns
enmity to the railroad spoilsmen VINO
are now endeavoring to reap the bene-
| fits intended by the tariff reYisionlsts
to go to the growers of Southern Cal
| ifornia, there was in the background
large, urbane gentleman, legal rep
resentative in Southern California OF
several railroads, and one of the men
who was most influential in sending
Frank Flint to the senate.
| This gentleman was Judge j. w. NC
Finley. His feelings were not hurt one
l-bit by the heated denunciations ana
pronouncements of the fiery young sem
ator, and at the conclusion of the pro-
gram he congratulated Flint on his fine
appearance and the speech
Applause for POSTMASTER
Chairman Story introduced the
| POSTMASTER of the evening, c. c. Chap
man, as "one of the most successful
growers and packers In the world.
Mr.. Chapman was loudly applauded as
he arose and began the Introductory
remarks. He called on Judge A. L.
Call of Corona to respond to the toast
"Our Honored Guests"
Judge Call said the orange growers
association members were only re-
cruits in the fight to protect the citrus
| industry of the state, but that the VIC
tory was due the leaders-the repre-"
sentatives of California in congress.
AS he mentioned Senator Flint's name
he was interrupted with prolonged ap-
plause and cheers, renewed when ne
spoke of the part played by Congress-
man Needham. He said this end of
the state will always owe to these two
men debt of gratitude it can never
pay.
No ovation of the evening surpassed
that given Clifford Pinchot when ne
arose to make a brief and really ex-
tennporaneous speech. He said as the
cheering ceased at last: "Well-I be-
lieve that here, at last, I am in the
midst of my friends"
Continuing Mr.. Pinchot said: There
is no place in this country where the
producers depends so literally on the
forests that protect the rainfall. Our
effort has been and will be, aided by

BY GEoRGE Q. PARpER

Having read with great interest and
care the presidents Yind1catlon or
Secretary Ballinger, the first thought
that suggests itself to me is that about
the only persons who will rejoice over
it are those few who desire to monopo-
lize. to the detriment of the many,
the natural resources of the country
such as power sites, coal lands and the
like. | noticed particularly the presi-
dents declaration ''the best friend or
the policy of conservation of natural
resources is he that insists that every
step taken should be within the law
and buttressed by legal authority"
I take it this is not intended as
reflection on the official acts of former
President Roosevelt and former Secre-
tary Garfield, who withdrew from entry
public lands which Secretary Ballinger
afterward restored to entry, on the
ground, [ am informed, that there was
no specific law for Garfield's action.
According to common report, Prest-
dent Taft himself directed Secretary
Ballinger to rewithdraw from entry
certain lands, which, originally with
drawn by Garfield, BalIinger had re-
stored to entry.
Any intimation, therefore, that Car
field was not within the law and was
not "buttressed by legal authority
when, to save power sites, he withdrew
the land which Ballinger afterward re-
stored, is of course a reflection 'on
President Taft.
BaIinger "5uttressed"
1t is unfortunate that very frequently
the efforts of one kind of legal au-
thority "buttresses'' the efforts of those
who desire to grab and monopolize
coal lands and power sites.
"Buttressed by legal authority"
Garfield, in order to prevent the
monopolization of power sites, with
drew from entry millions of acres of
public lands. Ballinger, also thus
"buttressed," restored these lands to
entry, and by so doing gave the monop-
olists an opportunity to ply their voea-
tions.
At the Spokane session of the Ma
tional Irrigation congress used merely
as illustration of what seemed to be
Secretary Ballinger's policy, the fact
that 1853 acres on the Missouri river,
originally withdrawn by Secretary
Garfield to preserve power sites from
monopolization. had been restored to
entry by Ballinger and had been taken

such men as Senator Flint and Con-
gresham Needham, to do everything
possible to further preserve and con-
serve those forests.
Avoids Reference to Controversy
Although avoiding any reference to
the Ballinger controversy he said very
meaningly. "Today the forestry SER
vice Is in excellent condition, in spite
of recent determined efforts to break
it down. All such efforts have happily
failedSand I hope and believe they Will
continue to so fail"
In conclusion he said: 81 have re-
peatedly referred to this city as a
model for the whole world. I don't
know of any project ever undertaken
by a city that required as much en-
thusiasm and faith, or that deserves
more credit than does the Los Angeles
aqueduct project. The forest service
will cooperate with you as we have
in the past"

briefly of the citrus industry and it's
need of a fostering governmental care.
'As long" said he, 'as California

General Jennison of Covina read an
eulogistic speech addressed to Senator
Flint. He said in conclusion that, as
banker might put it, this banquet
was not the settlement of a debt, but
the opening of an account.
Toastmaster Chapman read letters
from all the California congressman
who were not present but who had
been invited. Senator Perkins also
sent regrets.
Congressman S. C. Smith of Bakers
field was introduced as "a man who
knows everything" He said the gen.
tlemen present were gathered to "cel-
citrate the revision of the tariff up
ward.'
Mr.. Smith said there was a general
opinion abroad that the plain duty of
a representative in congress is first TO
lambast the industries of other states,
protecting those of his own, and sec
ond to oppose with the greatest firm
ness all the work of committees and
party leaders.
Opinion Due to Ignorance
He contended this was a spirit arls-
ing from an ignorance of the situation
and of the conditions in the legislative
bodies. He asserted that if the Cali
fornia delegation in congress had at
tempted any such high-handed meas
ures it would have been showed under
with legislation derogatory to the best
interests of the state.
Congressman Needham, when intro
duced said in part: when the tariff
bill was in course of preparation every
industry of California sought to secure
either an increase in its protection CIR
at least a maintenance of the existing
rates. Therefore the services of Sen
ator Flint in behalf of your particular
interest was signal. You cannot too
highly rate them"
The speaker touched on the need of
a tariff commission for the aid of con-
gress in securing information, then
took up the matter of the lemon tariff.

ROCHESTER,, Mimi, Sept. 21.-Sym-
pathy more than statewide goes out
today to a small group in this little
Minnesota town, which mourns for
Governor John A. Johnson, who died
this morning in st. Mary's hospital.
After battling against death for al
most a week the governors life had a
peaceful ending.
Grouped about his bedside when the
end came were Mrs. johnson, Miss Sui
liVan, her personal friend; the at
tending physicians and two nurses.
The last thing Governor johnson did
before lapsing into Inconsistencies,
was to take his wife's hand and
weakly whisper:
"Well, Nora, | made a good fight,
but / guess I've got to 60"
Then as the last CLEAN of intelli-
gence began to flicker he pressed her
hand gently to his cheek in a parting
caress.
Mayor Thompson today issued a
proclamation declaring the town to be
in a state of public mourning and hags
were flying at half mast from the city
buildings, school houses and many prl-
vate buildings.
Operated on Twice
The late Governor John A. Johnson
had been operated on twice before by
the doctors, first for the removal of ul-
GERS from the stomach and afterward
for an abscess of the bowels. Both
were acute, prolonged cases, and the
governor was in a serious condition
each time. There had been obstruc-
tions of the bowels in each instance,

EoRMER GOVERNOR GEORGE C.

EoRMER GOVERNOR GEORGE C.
III PARDEE, in statement made
- exclusively to the Los Angeles
Herald, has shed some now light on
the forest controversy, and has given
what may be regarded as an unusually
well informed and reliable insight into
tho inner workings of the process by
which lands reserved and withdrawn
from public entry by Secretary Garfield
in order to prevent the monopolization
of power sites, were by Ballinger re-
stored to public entry, much to the
qualification of tho monopoists who
thus found themselves actually ,"but-
tressed" by legal authority.
Governor Pardee Is well posted on
the subject under discussion and tho
fact that he was sTecently on hunting
trip with Clifford Pinchot will no doubt
lead many people to believe that Mr..
Pnchot, if he were in position to
talk on the subject in detail, might
substantiate the governors details as
to the surrender of the power sites and
the apparent reversal of one of the
most generally spplauded of the ia
nous Roosevelt policies.
OF Grave Importance
This is a matter of intense public
interest, not only in California but
throughout the United States, as the
people of this country, thanks in great
measure to the warnings and instruc-
tions of Theodore Roosevelt, have be-
come aware of the Importance of saw
ING for the public welfare public lands
and forest reserves. As is well known,
this reservation is intimately connected
with water supply and rainfall, and the
denudation of timber and lands and
the spoliation of forest may reduce a
territory to desert or neeessitate ex-
pensive irrigation.
The question of the power sites may
and probably will come into practical
politics, and may have an important
part in helping the public judge of tho
general merit of the Taft admnistra-
ton, particularly with relation to its
oft-repeated promise to carry out the
Roosevelt policies in their entirety.

Casey Take. I. Tonopah

In order to save Patrick Casey, the
cowardly murderer of Mrs. Heslip. from
being lynched, he was placed in an auto
bile with another murderer at Goldfield
Tuesday afternoon and hurried to
Tonopah. The suicide of the husband
of the murdered woman Tuesday morn
ing frenzied the people of Goldfield.
They gathered in groups in all parts of
the town and the streets were black
with people. The appearance of the
streets told the officers that to save
Casey's life action must be taken at
once. Deputy Sheriff Catalan and
guards took Casey and Sheridan, an
other murderer, from the Jail during O
driving rain to a cabin in the lower end
of town. The guards remained with
the murderers, while the deputy sheriff
hunted up an automobile to carry them
to Tonopah. Chauffeur after chauffeur
refused to make the trip. After the
loss of an hour, an automobile was
secured and the party started for Tono-
pah. Sheriff Owen had been requested
to meet the party on the way and he
and one of his deputies met the Gold
field party. Casey and Sheridan were
then taken to Tonopah and locked up.
Casey refused to talk to represen-
tative of the Bonanza. To all questions,
he replied, II have nothing to say" He
is powerfully built man and looked
morose and sullen.
The Bonanza says that the Heslip
home was looted Tuesday afternoon and
everything of value stolen. 1t is gener-
ally believed that an organized band of
cut-throats and thieves are operating in
Goldfeld.
Mrs. Mann, who was shot by Casey
at the time he killed Mrs. Heslip, is in
a critical condition and it is feared she
| cannot live. Her husband is away and
| cannot be located.
