THE 1AF1.BALLINGER LETTER.

The Ballinger investigation has taken
on another and serious complication in
the assertion of stenographer who de-
clared that the Taft letter was prepared
in the interior department by creatures
of the secretary and that it was signed
by the president practically as an at
torney and Baflinger's secretary die
tated and approved the draft. The
stenograp her offers to produce at least
one OF the note books he used in taking
The diotatton and to show by his notes
that the famous letter even 20 the
authoritative order TO fire CLAWS Cd
was prepared by Ballinger's own in
struments In Ballinger's own depart
ment.
The clouds gather about Ballinger
It will be hard TO convince reasonably
judicial people that the stenogra pher
is part of conspiracy engineered by
such men as Pinchot and Garfield. l..
will be looked upon as incredible that
these men should plot and pursue a
conspiracy so utterly foreign TO all We
have heard and read and known about
them. Neither of these men have ever
been connected by rumor or report with
crooked work. They represent. in the
minds Of average citizenship, the
cleaner and higher element OF public
service. There is no breath against
them. Suspicion fails in their cases.
But Ballinger is known as a former
employe of the aforganheim interests;
his biography is not to his credit and
Of a sort to inspire confidence; he has
been tracked close to the scheme TO
pirate the public domain. II will take
evidence to convince that the stenog-
raphersscorroborati evidence is no.
true evidence.
President Tafts position is made
still more unenviable by the later de-
velopments. He has seemed TO hear
from one side only since he assumed
the presidency. His old friends and
fellow workers under the Roosevelt
regime have found him deaf while AL
drich, Cannon, Wickersham and the
men who viewed his nomination with
disgust, have had but to whisper. If
it develops that Ballinger not only in
hueneed the discharge of worthy and
honest public servant but that ne coz
ened the president into signing that
dismissal along with a certificate Of
character for Bal!inger himself, pre-
pared by Ballinger's closest friends ard
creatures, and without the investiga-
ton due every man before summary
discharge and that in a matter so vi
tally important as the defence of the
public domain against hooters, Presi-
dent Taft will have fewer friends in
the middle west than now.
The best and most charitable way
Of looking at it is to consider the
president deceived and cozened. But
that is excuse, not commentator.

THE BOYS PIGS AND PAPA'S HOGS
[Dows Advocated.
It. I. Hoskins, of Vernon, brought in
couple of hogs for his two little boys
Saturday, which represented a little
profitable investment for the boys.
A year ago, when the board of super
visors commenced paying a bounty on
pocket gopher scalps, the boys sent
sl.so worth Of the pelts to Clarion and
when their cash arrived. purchased a
runt pig from their father for the
money. A little later the father gave
them a little pa tch of ground, which
they planted to corn. tended it careful
ly and when fail came husked some
thing like twenty bushels. Mr.. H.
then told the boys they had more corn
than they needed for one pig, and trad
ed them a second for five bushels of
corn. The boys took good care of the
pigs and last Saturday they were de-
livered on the local market, bringing
something like $50. The boys are
eight and ten years old. and are TO be
praised for their energy.

Graustark Coming Aug. q

"A Love Behind a Throne" the
subtitle of "Graustark, is very ap-
propriate in its suggestion of the
theme of George Barr MeCutheon s
thrilling novel. which George d. Baker
has made into one of the most popu-
lar book plays of recent years.
It is a clash of the ideals of old Eu-
rope and young America, the one over
the verge and stating down civiliza-
tons decline, the other in the first
flush of its vigorous youth. The older
regime clings tenaciously to preju-
dices established by centuries of Gus
tom. The younger, with iconoclastic
disregard for mouldy traditions casts
aside the usages of a worm-eaten
past and eagerly grapples with the
wonderful present.
