"Ow! That burns!"
Blake shook the glass in their be-
wildered faces.

The day was still fresh when they
found themselves back at the foot of
the Cliff Here arose heated debate
between the men. Winthrope, stung
by Blake's jeering words, insisted
upon sharing the attack, though with
no great enthusiasm. Much to Blakes
surprise, Miss Leslie came to the sup
port of the Engishman.
But, Mr.. Blake" she argued, you

expect to keep off the leopard with a
J torch, would it not be we'll to have
Mr. Winthrope at hand with other
torches, should yours burn out?"
Yes; If l thought he'd be at hand
after the first scare"
Winthrope started off almost on a
run. At that moment he might have
faced the leopard sngle-handed. Blake
chuckled as he swung away after his
victim. Within ten PAGES, however, he
paused to call back over his shoulder
Get around the point, Miss Jenny,

braiding the cocoanut fiber"
Miss Leslie made no response; but
] she stood for some time gazing after
| the two men. There was so much that
was characteristic even in this rear
view. For all his anger and his haste,
the Englishman bore himself with an
air of well.bred nicely. His trim,
erect figure needed only a fresh suit
to be irreproachable. On the other
hand, a careless observer, at first
| glance, might have mistaken Blake,
with his flannel shirt and shouldered
club, for a hulking navy But there
was nothing of the navy in his swing

New York World.

The removal of Mr.. Pinchot from
office was the only course open to
President Taft. The letter which
the chief forester sent to Senator
Dolliver TO be read in the senate
was an act of flagrant insubordina-
tion. After his reflections upon Mr.
Taft he must have known that his
connection with the administration
could no longer be tolerated. No
government could be run under meth
DDS 30 demoalizing 10 discipline. II
Mr.. Plnchot felt that he was super
Tor TO the general instructions issued
TO all department officials against
making unauthorized statements he
should have been governed by the
personal advice of Secretary Wilson
against writing the Dolliyer letter.
But he set himself above all author
ty. As the deliberate victim of his
own unruliness he has deprived him
self of the privilege Of posing as a
martyr to the cause of the conserya-
tion of natural resources. President
Taft has been exceedingly patient
with him, for this is not the first
time Mr. Pinchot has disre garded
the ordinary rules of official conduct.
Now that he Is out of the government
service. he can make his fight against
Secretary Ballinger and the admin
istration in the open.

PRESS AND PINCHOT.
President Was Right.

That Mr.. Pinchot was insubordi-
nate in writing the letter he did to
Senator Dolliver, practically uphold
ing Special Agent CLAWS, and to a
degree justifying Messrs. Price and
Shaw in attacking Secretary Ballin-
ger, cannot be denied. That in effect
he defied the president, is unques-
toned. AS chief executive, bound
to maintain his authority and re-
spect for that authority in the eyes
of the nation. President Taft could
do nothing else than retire Mr.. Pin
chot TO private life, regardless Of
the value of the services of the chief
forester.
No president can afford 10 be put
in the position of countenancing in
subordination or to allow anything
to go on in a branch of the govern
ment service that tends to disorgan-
ization. Therefore President Taft's
action must be considered right by
fair-minded men. - Washington

EIagrant Offender.


The presidents letter to Mr.. PIN
coht. removing him from the SER
vice. puts the case in light in
which the public has not previously
been in a position to view it and
leaves no possible question of the
property of the chief forester's dis
missal. The presidents statement
of the case makes plain the fact that
Mr.. Pinchot was guilty of insubor-
dination in declining to submit to
his immediate chief. the secretary of
agriculture, recommendation re-
garding the proffered resignation of
Mr.. Price, and in submitting to the
senate, through Senator Dolliyer, a
statement of the case amounting to
a virtual condonation of the Of
fenses of his assistant and the law
officer in instigating attacks upon the
secretary of the interior. Mr. Pin
chot's offense was the more fragrant
in that he deliberately chose a time
for the presentation of this state
ment to the senate to coincide with
the presidents submission to con-
gress of the attorney generals re-
port upon the CLAWS charges against
the secretary of the interior.-Wash-

President Taft's statement of his
reasons for removing Mr.. Pinchot Is
unanswerable. IL is couched, too, in
language of fine restraint and Just
feeling. The step which he has taken
must have cost him dear. as the ad-
miration and even personal affection
which he has cherished for Mr.. Pin
chot have often been freely ex-
pressed. But there was nothing else
TO be done. The dignity of the
presidency and discipline in the
public service must be upheld at all
hazards. Mr.. PinchOt well knows
that, by the course he as forced to
adopt, he exposes himself and his
administration to bitter attack. Com
ing on top of other things, il may
lead, as is freely predicted in Wash
ington, to an open breach in the Re
publican party. In any event, the
president has embarked on a stormy
sea.-New York Evening Post.

Only Course Omen.

Though the president went out of
his way to avoid dismissing Pinch0t,
it is plain that no system of govern
ment is possible that would permit a
subordinate in one department to
carry on a public warfare against the
head of another. or openly TO defy
the orders of the chief executive. AS
the president yer ytemperately ex-
pressed il to Pinchot:
"By your conduct you have de-
stroyed your usefulness as a helpful
subordinate of the government"
The only reason for hesitation in
ordering his discharge was that this
was just what Pinchot wished and
had been seeking. II will crafty his
exaggerated sense OF his own i'm
portance and make him at once a
hero of the Insurgents. And now he
is free to carry on his warfare -
the magazines. Yet the president
could have done no less with any
sense of the responsibility and dig
nifty of his own high office.-Phila-

Let Them Buy Their Own Papers.
Senator r. l. Hubble, speaking OF
the newspaper muddle of the legisla-
ture, said that each member should
order the pape- ne wanted and pay
for il himself. and not be forced TO
take the one that the other members
vote on him. THIS Is the correct prin-
ciple. The voting Of free papers TO
themselves IS a small species OF graft
that ought not TO be adopted by the
0ody. The taxpayers. should no more
pay for their legislators papers than
for their potatoes. One official paper
which will print the complete journal

Strengthened With People.

In removing from Office Clifford
Pinchot and his associates in the
plot to discredit the administration
President Taft has strengthened
himself with the people. And il is
the people. after all, rather than
factional leaders, who have the last
say. II is altogether likely, of
course, that Mr. Taft has provided
antagonistic Republican politicians
with new fuel to feed the flames of
Republican insurgency. This. under
the circumstances. Is unavoidable.
just as it is impossible that such in
ternecine strife should not inspire
the democracy with new hope of
control of the next house, If not of a
still greater victory in 1912. Both
these contingencies, however, are
further along, and one of them, at
least, is exceedingly remote.-Pitts-

Taft Was Patient.

The president has heretofore
treated him with great patience and
consideration. But to retain him in
office after this latest boyish ebulli-
tion of inflated self-importance was
simply incompatible with depart
mental discipline or morale and with
the dignity and self-respect of the
presidential office.
The president cannot put up with
the self-advertising impertinences OF
every departmental whippersnapper.

radical one. we suspect), is that he
