The statement given out in Secretary Bal
llnger's behalf by the general land office,
would seem to leave but little of the con-
tention that he has been giving away water
powers to any one who knocked at his
door. 1t is positively stated that lat no time
since the administration of Secretary Bal
linger have any %ower sites been filed upon
in Montana.''rA little fiction that the Riv-
erside Land and Live Stock company had
been allowed to take 15.S6S acres with
valuable water rights, proves on examlna.
ton to be due to the error of a cores
pondent who by emitting a decimal mark
converted 15S IS acres into the larger
amount. The only water on this arid stretch
is two small springs, and the company that
obtained it Is not in the power business.
Finally the land office makes this positive
statement:
The only water power sites on the water
sheds of the Missouri river not now under
the control of the government under Sec.
rotary Ballinger's orders Of suspension are
sites which have been in private ownership
for several years, and two additional sites
which are improved and developed to run
the street cars and lighting plants of Hell
ena and Butte and the mines in Butte"
The latter sites are, moreover, held UNI
der revocable permits approved before Mr.,
Ballinger took office. If these were the
only indictments Mr.. Pinchot had against
Mr.. Ballinger, this reply leaves him in an
exceedingly silly and uncomfortable posi-
ton; in fairness to him, his counter-blast
must be awaited prior to any final judg-
ment. But the merry war now being waged
cannot appeal to Mr.. Taft as particularly
dignlfied or conducive to good administra-
tion

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Norfolk Landmark says: when
IL Is against the law 90 buy any slim
ulating drink. to play any game Of
chance. 60 do any kind OF dancing. or
go 10 any theatre or moving picture
show. 20 smoke or chew tobacco or
gum, TO wear decollete dresses or
open.work stockings. to exhibit any
work OF art representing the human
form not fully clothed. 10 utter any
ribald jest In any place. TO stay out
after nine az night. or to eat more
than fifteen hapiacks at one sitting.
Norfolk will probably awake from the
rabbit dream and do something prac-
teal.
The Birmingham News says: The
best way TO solve the whole problem
is 10 drop Crum. I'm accordance with
the wishes OF the people who have TO
do business with the Office. and APP
point a man who will be acceptable to
those who are directly interested and
concerned. This would be only fair
to the people of Charleston. to Judge
Taft, and to the administration itself,
IL IL would only view the matter in a
broad light. The country has long
since got quite enough Of Crum and
OF the efforts to saddle him on a
people who do not want him In that
Office for good and sufficient reasons"
The Louisville COurier-JOurnal says:
Decidedly something good comes out
Of Oklahoma in the report Of a meas
ure before the State Legislature for
the abolition Of the prefex Hon be-
fore the names OF officeholdeTs. But
there should be no need of a legisla-
tive enactment to do what common
sense ought TO do. and what II com
mon sense fails to do. Is not likely
to be done by legislative enactment.
Just why the successful practical poll
tician, of all men, who usually gains
success by anything but honorable
should be singled out for the
title of Honorable may be 'one Of
those things that no fellow can find
out but Il is also one Of those things
that the power Of even Oklahoma

SURPRISING INFORMATION.
CTampa Tribune.)

mat Inc IriDuno mas not been
without reason in making diligent in
quiries concerning the proceedings Of
the Internal Improvement Board
under the former administration Is
disclosed in somewhat startling style
in a special dispatch from Tallahas-
see to The Pensacola Journal In which
the surprising statement Is made that
the compensation OF w. s. Jennings.
who has been General Counsel for
the board during the Broward regime.
was $4,000 in 1907 and $1,000 plus
expenses in 1908.
That few people in this State have
had the slightest idea that any such
sum was being paid any official OF
the State government goes without
saying. Much criticism was INDUCED
in throughout the State when it was
stated that Jennings was receiving a
salary Of $1,000 a year as General
Counsel for the Internal Improve
ment Board and this fact was dis
cussed generally on the stump in the
recent and in previous political cam
paigns, furnishing ready-made ma
terial for the opponents OF the Brow
ard administration and causing a veri-
table storm Of protest whenever IL
was annOunced-but that this $1,000
grew to $4,000 in 1907 and to ST. 1900.
plus expenses, in 1908, almost passes
belief and cannot help but produce In
the minds Of the taxpayers the i'm
preston that the half has not been
told" about the dOings of the past
four years at Tallahassee.
The special which conveys this In
telligence to readers of The Pensacola
Journal also states that, on motion OF
Attorney General Park NJ. Trammell,
the Office held by Mr.. Jennings has
been abolished and the duties of the
Office assumed by the Attorney-Gen-
eral without additional compensation.
Il is furthermore stated that Messrs.
Groom and McLin disapprOved the ac-
ton Of the board I'm displacing Mr..
Jennings. but that Governor Gilchrist
insisted that the records show that Mr..
Jennings service terminated Deem
Der 81. 1908, and Il was so ordered.
That this attorney received cOmpen |
sation more than three times greater
than any other official of this State.
and his expenses I'm addition, cOmpen- |
sation which would be considered ex- |
cessive IL paid to the very ablest law.
yer in Florida for similar services, is |
4 revelation which will doubtless add |
TO the Statewide disfavOr I'm which |
the former administration is held; |
and IL will be certainly an occasion |
for the people Of Florida to thank |
their lucky stars that the ballots OF
the Democracy brought about a time
Iy change.
The Tribune well remembers how |
Frank Clark. in a speech on the
proposition. fairly reveled |
in his finest satire in discussing how
the State was "buncOed" when Il paid !
w. s. Jennings $1,000 a year; but
what would not Frank Clark have said
about a $4,000 plus expenses salary?
He would have beeh stricken speech
less for once IN his life.
The TSi4bune congratulates the
State thGt the board. as now consti-
tuted. "a put an end to this sort Of
businss. and especially that II Is
out these facts for public In
for tnation.
