This accounts for all of the yarn ex-

Ballinger himself promptly attended
to that by issuing his four hundred

been asked to resign or intended to re-

thing went up in thin smoke, yet some
of the metropolitan papers insisted for
several days on revamping the story
in different forms and in commenting
on what would or would not happen If
the tale were or were not true. This

that he was to go on Sept. 10, so that
he would not have to be carried dur

ed as an offset to the Roosevelt tour
and the colonel's speaking in company
with Pinchot and Garfield in insurgent
territory? By the way, this simple an
nouncement may shadow forth the
biggest political fact now on earth
Colonel Roosevelt has been in the
country practically the full two
months during which he was to main
tain silence. OF late the signs have
been multiplying that he would take
the progressive end-not in the way
of talking for or against persons, but
in the advocacy of principles. Perhaps
the most significant thing of all is the
cordially of his relations with Gar
field and Pinch0t, his warm greetings
of them, their repeated visits to him
and confident demeanor after each in
terview and the fact that the three
are appearing OH Tue Sduue pldIlOTm.
Everybody knows where Garfield and
Pinchot stand. They are not only for
conservation, but their constant cry
is that "the special interests must be
driven out of politics." There is the
meat in the cocoanut. the concrete
statement Of the dominant and all in
elusive issue.
A story now comes all the way from
Germany alleging graft in the Philip
pines. This in some degree bears out
the charges made by Representative
John A. Martin of Colorado. Investi-
cations are all the rage these days,
and there seems no good reason why
the Philippines should not have one of
their own and be In fashion. Give
them a congressional inquiry and thus

letter to Senator John Kean and Da-

Senator Kean declined on the ground
that such d course would create a d.

LOCAL SHOPS WILL NOT BE AF-

Employees In tho Shops at Sparks Are
Said to Have Acted Too

That the mnchinists' strike situa-
tion at Sparks, Nevada. in the South
ern Pacific company shops. will be
amlcably settled and will have no eff
feet on the local situation in the least.
is the statement made today by AS
slstant Superintendents T. F Row
lands and d. j. Malone, the latter the
master mechanic Of the Salt Lake d.
vision of the Southern Pacific COM
pany.
The rumor that spread In local rail-
road circles on Saturday and Sunday
that the men in the local shops
would probably strike In sympathy
with the machinlsts at Sparks, seems
to be totally unfounded, according to
statements of members OF the Machin-
lists association. One or two OF tho
men have announced that the Sparks
situation would not affect the Ogden
shops at ALL
A statement was made by some Of
the radical ones that should the
Southern Pacific company attempt TO
bring any Of the engines to Ogden
from Sparks to be repaired that the
local shop men would strike. AS
states that the company had no In.
tention of bringing any Of the Sparks
works here.
Master Mechanic Malone said the
local shops had plenty Of work to
keep them going He said that dur
Ing the past few weeks many ad-
ditioDal machinists and helpers had
been given work In the local shops
which are running on full time.
The Sparks strike, a well-known
machinist employed at the shops In
Ogden, declared, was caused by the
somewhat hasty action of the machin-
iets In that city who wanted the I'M
mediate reinstatement Of two dis
charged machinists under full pay dur
ing the time they were idle. Tho
mon wero reinstated, but the com
pany refused the demand for pay dur
Ing the period they were out OF work,
and the strike resulted.
