The Sioux Falls Press, in an edito-
rial commenting on Pres. Taft's ex.
pressed desire for harmony in the re-
publican ranks OF this state, accuses
the stalwarts of being "irreconcilables "
and determined to ''start a fight" A
few weeks ago the auditor of the ioter-
10, was compelled TO resign after years
OF valuable service and was replaced,
at the behest of the u. S. senator's
from this state, by one OF the most rabid
of the factional progressives; few
days ago republican postmaster for
Sioux Falls and a United States mar
shal for this state were placed jn nom
inatOn, but up to the time of going to
press neither one of them has been con-
firmed. Who started the "flght?' and
who is keeping it up?

THE REMOVAL OF PINCHOT

In ordering the secretary OF gricul-
ture to remove Clifford Pinchot from
the Office of chief forester, President
Taft makes it clear beyond the shadow
OF doubt that he intends to administer
the affairs of his high Office in de-
termined manner, without fear or
favor. Aside from any and all ques-
tions OF the personal merit or integrity
of Forester Pinchot and Secretary
b ,liinger, an issue was involved which
the president could not overlook.
That issue Was the insu bordi ination of
an assistant. Mr.. Plnchot deliberately
took it on himself to question the acts
Of superior and when called on for
proof OF his allegations refused to fur

ties, but went outside of his jurisdic-

President Taft 10 his letter of dsmissa

"UGless Congress acts" says Mr..
PinchOt, "the water-powers will pass
into the hands of special interests
without charge and without limit OF
time. So with the phosphate deposits.
So with the enormously valuable coal
deposits
But he quite fails to note the fact
that Mr.. Taft is working to get Con-
gress to do exactly these things, and
that carefully pre- pared bills safe guard
ing the water powers and the phos-
pilates and the coal are at hand. Why
does not Mr.. Pinchot get behind them
and push these measures, instead OF
rushing into print about himself with
such trequency?-Minneapolis Journal.

and manifests spirit of conflict
which, If allowe to proceed uncheck-

and that is to uphold the president.
A congressional investigation has been
ordered aud all the facts in the case
will be brought out. The question is
not that of conservation. That policy
has been decided on and vigorously
pursued by the government. 1t is not
the policy but men TO whom has been
entrusted the work OF carrying out the
policy that congress must investigate.
1t is exceedingly unfortunate that par
tisanship has been injected into the
controversy. 1t is not question OF
factionalism: it is IA question OF har-
monious organization and cooperation.
There is a too considerable elem ent
in the presidents own party searching
the highways and byways for EXCUSES
to belittle, condemn and even openly
oppose the president. He is entitled
to party support, to patriotic support,
so long as he honestly and conscien-
tiously administers the affairs of his
high Office and seeks to gather and toi
keep about him men in harmony with
his own ideas and his party's platform.

$500. Two were paid at the First Ma

Union County bank, refused payment
on the ground OF not KIN n,wing the
