Colonel James Hamilton Lewis re-

trade in the far east, he says that in
the Orient there is one country we
speak of as China, which to the stu

known as five separate countries Six

by the skill and ingenuity of the
American mind. Four hundred mil

VINO Is a RepubIican?

Who is q republican? With Aldrich
reading out of the party all men who
did not vote for the latest tariff bill;
with Cannon denouncing with vehe-
mence every member of congress VINO
refuses to follow his leadership, and
with Taft himself questioning the re-
publicanism of men who differed with
eastern high protectionist politicians,
the question of who is republican
becomes of vital and immediate i'm
portance. But now comes Senator
A. B. Cummins of Iowa, the very man
at whom the poisoned shafts OF de-
nunciation have been aimed and
arises to declare that his republican
ism will stand the test as well as the
brand furnished by Aldrich, Payne,

Joe Cannon wants to know whether

The last expression of the republican
party of this country, the last formal
utterance and the subscribing to
which the test of real republican faith,
was the Chicago platform of IS months
ago, which demanded "unequivocally
revision of the tariff" which the
candidate interpreted to mean "a sub

president himself has admitted that
the demands Of the platform have not
been met.
Now, who is a republican? The
answers to this question will create

Spokane Cleaning Up.

One Of the most progressive cities
in the west is Spokane. There is life
and vigor and vitality there, Just as
there is in Rock Island. 1t is a city
that never travels In the theory of
letting well enough alone" 1t is con-
tfnually going forward.
Every indication is that with a
change in the city charter will come
the commission form of government
in the municipality of Spokane. Mayor
Nelson s. Pratt has just named citi-
gems committee Of II representative
business and professional, men, incIud-
ing three members of the present city
council, to make a public report on
the advisability of a change in the
form OF government. The plan calls
for a new charter, upon which a city
vote may be taken April next, so that
the commission of five may assume
Office the following month.
The change is welcomed generally
by the people. who see many defects
In the present cumbersome, unbusi-
nesslike aldermanic system, which IS
the cause Of so much misnanagement,
waste, extravaganza and maladminls-
tration
The mayor of Spokane has received
several hundred letters and hundreds
OF personal visits from men in both
parties, complimenting him upon the
stand he has taken to place the city
upon a thorough business basis.
While he has been in office only six
months, he claims that his admins
,tration has been weakened by an op-
position council and an inadequate
system Of government.
Progressive men of both parties all
over the country in the cities of the
United States are considering this
great municipal reform.

BALLINGER is QUITE ANGRY
Secretary of Interior Declares Story
of Favoritism Untrue.

of FaVoritism Untrue.
Washington, Nov. 11.-Branding the
charges of L. R. CLAWS that he had
been guilty of attempting to manipu-
late coal claims in Alaska in such
way as to favor his friends as ga tissue
of falsehoods and insinuations utterly
unwarranted in view Of the facts cas-
lily obtained by anybody who wants
Them" Secretary of the Interior Rich
ard A. Ballinger has issued a formal
statement replying to the allegations
of the dismissed employee OF the field
service of the land office.
The statement was the result Of the
action of Golfers Weekly in furnish
ing to the press advance sheets of an
article it will print Nov. Is from the
pen of Mr. CLAWS.
Secretary Ballinger is supported in
his denial of the charges by Commits
sioner Fred bennett Of the general
land Office, who declares that CLAWS
forthcoming article is merely a repeti-
ton of the charges submitted by the
writer to President Taft and charac-
terized by him as "shreds of suspl-
cion," and so disingenuous that he or
dered CLAWS dismissal from the gov
eminent service.
In giving his reasons for his lack of
surprise at Golfers willingness to es-
pouse the cause of the discharged gov
eminent employee Secretary Ballinger
insinuates that the general inaccuracy
of that publication has prepared him to
expect anything from it. Regarding
Golfers the secretary says:
at is not surprising that a publica-
ton which could in pursuit of this
same propaganda, recklessly, under
date of Oct. 80. reproduce a view ap-
pearing on a familiar railroad folder
of the Grand River canon in Colorado
as picture of an available power site
which was in danger of unlawful ac
QUESTION on the South Platte river 200
miles away and across the continental
divide, should be willing, without the
slightest effort to ascertain the real
facts, to give wings to story which
had heretofore been submitted to so
great and just man as the president
careful consideration thereof, in which
he had before him the entire files of
the general land office and of the Sec
rotary of the interior, relating to each
and every one of the matters present
ed, pronounced the same disingenuous
and without justification.
1.-THE statement of CLAWS has gained
nothing, either as to its veracity or
justification In the interval since its
presentation to the president, and in
view of the complete vindication by
the president of myself and the other
officers of the department concerned,
I will make no further statement at
present"
CLAWS was dismissed from the field
service of the land office after seven
years continuous employment as an
investigator. His discharge followed
his action in obtaining from Attorney
General Wickersham an opinion pre-
venting the issuance of patents to
100000 acres of coal land in Alaska, to
which 900 claims had been filed.

The next day 1t was still showing.
with the depth and drifts too formida-
BILE to attempt to escape from the gap.
and the evenings diversion was con-
Timed, with only such breaks as tur-
min cooking and mIring through the
snow to Bet AIMS snares ana AMI
mnted but desultory conversation.
On the fourth day a rabbit was
caught and went into the making or
memorable broth that was TO sootne
twenty-six revenous appetites. After
that the rabbits seemed TO have an
inklIne of the abnormal cabin appetite,
for no more ventured to even approach
the bait that Bet Ann and Mr.. Ashley
strewed about the snares-
These days had been season Of
continuous and bewildering delight to
Ret Ann. and even her fathers face
had beamed as 1t had never beamed
before. Lem Tucker was a recluse
who did not believe in people because
he had never known much about them
and who condemned education because
he had none of it himself. People were
wicked. and to be able TO read was to
find things In newspapers that were
lies. So Bet Ann had never learned
her letters.
But a week with the earnest, jolly.
delightful party of delegates had CIV
en- a new expression to fuckers eyes.
When the sixth day brought a snow
plow putting through the drifts and the
party began to make preparations for
departure his face showed real regret.
Bet Ann was vOic1ng her grief noisily.
We've had the best time OF our
lives" Tucker said as he hobbled to
the door to say goodby. "Mebbe I've
been mistook bout folks. There amt
none o. you wicked. an 'alI them things
you read was real grand. I've been
thinkin' It over, an guess I'll move
down to the village an give Bet Ann a
chancet for schoolin'."
THAT will be nice for both OF you"
commended one Of the women hearth
iiy. "And be sure you let ME know at
the address gave you. We VIII send
some books and other things to Bet
Ann and you. Now, goodby."
When they reached the train the only
discontented one seemed to be the
storekeeper. He mutteKed to himself
for awhile, then blurted out:
"Ye paid an outlaDdish price for
them turnips."
ooh, don't known laughed Mr..
Ashley: 1--WE are perfectly satisfied.
We were glad to pay we'll for them
and for the accommodation. And you
should remember Mr.. Tucker did not
really charge anything. 1t has been
a jolly week. The only drawback can
think of is that we could not get to a
store to buy some more provisions"
"Tf I'd knowed things was to be paid
for could "a let ye have plenty" the
storekeeper grumbled.
'But your store,is too far away"
"Oh, I've got plenty right here on
the train" discontentedly. .tOnly bein'

to be took care of free. l wisht I'd
But the look on Mr.. Ashley's face
suddenly silenced him, and he SUNK
away to a seat by himself. And at
that moment came a series Of jerks
and bumps which were preliminary to
getting the cars in motion; then the
