Quite lately one of those painful
calanities happened which try mems
souls. But civilization won another
triumph. Enlightened men upon whom
devolved the duty Of keeping order
during the period of horror rallied TO
curb those unruly spirits who seek
to. turn panic to advantage, and at the
same time controlled those distracted
human creatures whom fear renders
helpless.

FINE GOODNESS AMID PANICw
-RY N. n. a.

The guards were cool. we'll drilled
and experienced men. They-some OF
them-went about the work of rescue
Systematically, insuring results. One
door after another was unlocked and
the screaming captives released, while
the black, hot smoke rolled into their
faces and mad flames licked at their
hands. Confusion, thus, was baffied.
Outside the terror-wrung refugees
were huddled into a corner OF the In
closure by other steady-nerved, keen
eyed guards who did not lose their
presence OF mind so far as to leave
everything and get in the way of the
task OF loosening locks and bolts. Not
realizing that discipline hadn't been
stampeded one misguided convict
made a break to get away, but a
ready rife brought him down. Only
three convicts escaped amid the panic.

political or other pull, who thought II
his duty TO protest against and ex-
pose an attempt to rob the nation
whose employe he was.
On the other hand was Ballinger,
high official, Mr.. Taft's social
friend, man with strong financial
and political influence.
Did President Taft take Ballinger's
word for II, and publicly disgrace
CLAWS by telling Ballinger TO dis.
charge him from the service? This
is one Of the questions the people OF
the country are today asking. II s.

Senator Root says, for the president.
that the latter has to trust subord-
mates with the preparation OF letters;
he hasn't time to prepare all letters
he signs. But Lawler was Ballinger's
understudy and henchman. Mr.. Tart
seems to have plenty or time for
dances, golf and swinging around
the circle and the public disgrace or
the lowliest of the nations honest
servants Is matter deserving all the
time all the preparation necessary to
the right decision. Especially was this
so In the case OF CLAWS and his fel-
lows in the service who were brave
enough to object to Wholesale robbery
of the nation.
Not knowing that Wickersham had
suddenly found the Lawler memoran-
dunn and handed II over to the COM
mittee. who can compare II with HE
CLAWS letter. Mr.. Taft, on Saturday
wired a general denial from the golf
grounds. This was a mistake. There
was more In the charge OF mean treat
ment OF an inferior and lying to the
public than could be covered In a
general denial by Mr.. Taft, Senator
Root and the whole Washington cabal,
whose sole mission in government life
seems 10 be to save the head OF that
man Ballinger and the chances that
may still be left to those who want to
steal Alaska coal.
On Sunday Mr.. Taft confessed that
he ordered Lawler TO write that letter.
He was so busy getting away on q
speech-mnking tour that he handed
the work OF generating Ballinger and
disgracing CLAWS over to Ballinger,
as II were.
The defendant thus enters a plea
Of not being unjust or prevaricator.

primary grade OF our public schools
who can see what the defendant has

To the Editor of The Times; During

facial expression of the debaters as

Mr.. Taft's Substitute.
President Taft's explanation that he
used only a few sentences OF the let
ter written for him by Assistant At
Ballinger is frank and honest, but II
scarcely alters the ethics OF the case.
The fact is that president OF the
United States was willing to delegate
to All understrapper in the law de-
partment the writing of what was to
appear as a personal letter OF great
public Importance. That he didn't
use much Of IL was because II didn't
satisfy him. The inference is fair
that If the document had suited the
president he would have signed and
issued 1t as his own. II was the mat
ter, not the manner, that he disliked.
II is a rather curious state OF affairs
when the chief executive asks some
body else to prepare AN opinion as II

volving the honor OF a cabinet officer.
Good nature is Mr.. Taft's besetting
virtue.
AS for Mr.. Ballinger, his curt and
perhaps justified dismissal OF Stenog-
rapher Kerby, the man who brought
the Lawler incident to light, does not
help him or his cause in the least. II
shows him TO the country as an en-
ragged and embittered man rather than
as a careful executive. In his talk
about futile treachery" he reveals
the hopeless partisan. And as Kerby

No right-minded man, we think, can
fail to feel a certain pity for Presi-
dent Taft in the situation In which
he has been involved In the Baiiinger
matter even while admitting that for
the most embarrassing features OF the
situation he Is himself indirectly re-
sponsible.
The thing that necessarily attracts
! public attention most readily ana
conspicuously Is that for the state
ment OF the stenographer kerby IL
was declared at the White House
there was absolutely no foundation,
when the presidents own letter TO the
chairman OF the investigating commit
| tee shows that there was considerable
| foundation, and however much Kerry
may have deserved his dismissal, get
ting rid of him does not mend the
matter OF the White House statement.
This disagreeable discrepancy be-
tween Official statements is emphasiz-
ed by the fact that the attorney-gen-
erals office has behaved with curious
ly inept inconsistency as to the mem
orandum of Mr.. Lawler, one or Its
own officers, first resenting inquiry,
then alleging that no such document
could be found, then, on the publica-
ton OF the stenographer's interview,
producing the memorandum. A like
inconsistency has been manifested as
to the date of the memorandum. The
unpleasant result is that the presi-
dent Is entangled in net OF conflict
