Libel Already Disproved

James then read letter from James
B. Connolly, writer of sea stories. de-
claring that he evidently was the man
to whom Lawler referred, but that the
charges against him had been '.abso-
lutely disproved." and that the stew
ard who had started the story had fed
to Canada and he had been unable to
prosecute him because libel was not
an extraditable offense.
Brandeis offered in evidence letter,
which he said Ballinger had addressed
to Garfield at West Mentor, O., Sep
tember, 13, 1908, making an appoint
ment regarding matter pending in
the Indian bureau, also one in the gem
eral land Office" Ballinger wrote that
he was "at present involved in the
pleasurable labor of assisting Judge
Taft's candidacy"

Vertrees Uphoids BaIIinger

Attorney Vetrees' reply was that
Ballinger was as much of a ''conserva-
zionist" as anyone, ''in a proper sense, .
but that he did not belong to the s.Pin-
chot brand OF thirty-third degree con-
servationists who have gone to seed on
conservation.
The lawyers for the prosecution
finished their speeches. but vetrees was
hardly launched on his argument when
the committee adjourned. He will con-
clude tomorrow. Brandeis and Pepper
will make short arguments in re-
buttal.
1t was his constant yielding under
pressure" that Brandeis thought most
untitled Ballinger to carry forward the
broad policies of conservation.

THE BOYS AND THE RATS"

Girls seem born to trouble as the
sparks fly upward. In many of the
eastern schools the boys have issued
an edict against rats" That is, they
refuse to permit the girls to wear arti-
fetal "extenders' in their hair. Girls
who obey the masculine pronuncia-
mento are serenaded by the boys. Girls
who insist on wearing rats are
warned, and then robbed of their con-
cealed rats" by the strong arm Of the
boys.
So that the domination of the male
person seems to run through life. There
at Chicago the city council has solemnly
forbidden the wearing of hat pins of
greater than a certain stated length.
No matter how long a hat pin a woman
may want to wear, she will have to
conform her tastes in that particular to
the laws laid down by the mere men of
the council.
Presently we shall hear of men de-
Gliding what colors and weave may be
worn by women. and whether or not
girls may have heels to their shoes.
Really. it is getting time to challenge
the right of men to dictate in affairs
essentially feminine

CHANGE THE PAY DAY.

In view of the agitation for the early
closing of the big Salt Lake stores and
the probability that the movement
will be successful, some fear has been
expressed that many of those who re-
ceive their wages on Saturday will
squander their money in places of
amusement, instead of purchasing
necessary supplies for their families.
One way to remove that temptation
would be for the employers to pay off
their men the first of the week. In
that event the money received would
be judiciously expended in all likeli-
hood before Saturday night arrives
Sunday being a day Of rest, men in all
walks of life are inclined to quicken
the pace the night previous. Hence the
'blue" Monday. If pay day was Mon
day or Tuesday, or any other day but
Saturday. there would be no saying
I'VE don't have 10 work tomorrow
Let's go and have some fun" The
money would be turned over to the
real head of the family and put where
it would do the most good. The sug-s
gestion is worthy of thought. q

MESSAGE OF MR. FAIRBANKS.

Former Vice President Fairbanks,
who has Just returned to his native
land after a trip around the world,
makes the statement with great ear
nestness that Japan is a sworn friend
of the United States, and that so far
as the government of the mikado is
concerned the open door policy advo-
Gated and insisted upon by the late
Secretary Hay will be maintained. The
statement of Mr.. Fairbanks may be
taken as an antidote for some of the
recent violent editorials on the SUBJ
ject. The situation may exist as Mr..
Fairbanks pictures it. Japan may be
willing that this country should de-
yelop a great trade in the Orient. Her
statesmen say so, at any rate. But
that is no reason why the United States
should cease building warships and sit
supinely down, trusting to the other
commercial nations to forbear push
ing us out of the markets of the
world. Moreover, the Japanese elder
statesmen may have misled Mr.. Fair
banks. Diplomats In times past have
been noted for the ease and elegance
of their prevarications. The game is to
deceive the country against whom it is
proposed to move until deception is no
longer possible, and in many cases
when it is too late to make a vigorous
defense. We don't say the Japanese
lied to Mr.. Fairbanks, but it is just as
we'll to be prepared with a first-class
fleet on the Pacific ocean in case of an
emergency.
Recently a leading Jewish banker of
New York reproached himself for hav-
ing helped finance Japan in her war
with Russia. The atrocities committed
by the latter country against the Jews
was doubtless the incentive for the ac-
tivity of the Jewish bankers in this
and other countries in aiding the
japanese. Russia was whipped. Now
mark the result The two countries so
lately engaged in mortal combat have
practically Joined hands in the ex-
ploitation of Manchuria and, with
the avenues to trade in the Orient. The
United States is completely isolated
and will remain so unless we have
sufficient force to back up our de-
mands. The other nations are not
going to give US anything they can
carry away themselves. The fleet ques-
ton is paramount. Not warshIps alone.
but a merchant marine which can be
depended upon to furnish the necessary

soft words butter no parsnips."
Let US have the merchant vessels and
the warships and the door in the
Orient will be open TO our knock. With
out them it is more than probable that
we shall be shut out. Notwithstanding

ocean by Former Vice President Fair

ICE CREAM AT THE SCHOOLS.

At every intermission in school work
they used to be called ''recesses' in
the days of birch sprouts and vulgar
fractions-there is a flock of ice cream
sellers in front of every public school in
Salt Lake. They may be called ped
dlers, as a description of their work
forms a definition of the word. Each
has a little cart with a can Of ice
cream. The cream may be all right
Some of it comes with the name of
makers who are responsible and ap-
proved That isn't the difficulty.
But about every cart, in the intermis-
sions are every day found a throng of
pupils. Those who have money, buy.
Those who don't have money, look on
and violate the Tenth Commandment.
Every child that can get money for ice
cream seems to be carried away with
the desire for that refreshment. The
temptation is stronger than most par,
ents and most school trustees can have
believed. 1t leads to secreting money
that is found, and spending it for ice
cream. 1t leads to that swift, yielding
temptation, which is expressed in pick
ing nickel or a dime from the desk of

fop-fhe war of determination. Clean
up the back yards and remove the

are all right. They serve their purpose
admirably as far as they go. Flies have
a playful habit of sneaking into the

tically abolished in the southern states
and Havana, Cuba, by due regard for
sanitation and the humiliation of the

the mosquito and has proved a greater
menace TO health. The scientists and
boards of health keep ding-donging
this fact into our ears. with few and
scattering results so far. Fool them

itary inspector drops around with the

RoosEvELT's HOMECOMING.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, former
President, and the most distinguished
citizen in private life In the United
States, is on his way back to the land
of his birth. There can be no manner
of doubt as to the warmth of welcome
which will be extended to him when
he arrives in New York. Democrats as
well as Republicans will be at the pier
to give him the three times three and
the customary tiger. Colonel Roose-
welt will enjoy it immensely. After a

a schoolmate. 1t leads to deception of
parents, and the securing of money os-
tensibly for books or other school ma
terial-which is always furnished free
by the board. It is harmful influence
for the children.
Added to that is the habit of the
larger boys to congregate about the ice
cream carts and engage the peddlsr In
talk. That talk has never yet been
found to be good. Too often 1t is de-
basing. tendency to thought and
speech of depraved character.
The remedy is in the hands of the au4
thorities. Those ice cream carts at the
gates of public schools constitute a nui-
sance. The influence is recognized by
teachers and principals-and by many
parents, too-as bad. A way can be
found to abate it. And the Punishment
of those carts from the schools will be
in the interests of the whole community.

SPEAKER CANNON.

Joseph G. Cannon will be "A years old
the It'll of next May. He was first
elected to Congress in 1872, and took
his seat in March of the following year.
With the exception of two years, he has
served continuously ever since. He
has been elected speaker four times in
succession. After nearly forty years of
battling for his party and the welfare
of the country. there is no stronger or.
more commanding figure in public life
today. Before his election as speaker
Mr. Cannon was chairman of the COM
mittee GA appropriations, and the
treasury had a watch dog worthy of
the name. Being skilled IN debate, a
good parliamentarian and possessing
native wit, as well as the power of ex-
pressing himself forcibly. has made
Uncle Joe" a natural leader, and there
is no man on either side of the cham
Der OF. the House of Representatives
who approaches him in the matter of
qualification for. the. speakership. In
fact, he seems to have been created for
the place.
Speaker Cannon first saw the light of
day in North Carolina, at little place
called Guilford. When a young man he
emigrated west and finally located at
Danville, Illinois, arriving there in
time to take part in the campaign
which resulted in the election of the
immortal Lincoln. There were giants
in those days-Goliaths in intellect and
love of country. The young southern
lawyer imbibed the principles of Repub-
licanism from the founders of the par
ty, and right Loyalty has he chung to
them during the turmoil and struggles
which have marked his political ca
reer. He has never avoided a fight on
behalf Of his party, and has never COM
promised with the enemy. In his old
age. sound of mind and body, he is able
more than TO hold his own with po-
litlcal antagonists of high and low de-
gree.
A wonderful old man. Long may he
live to preside over the House and earn
the plaudits of his right-minded coun-
trymen.

lowered over the speakers head this
morning when the tenth triennial
head camp session of the Woodmen
of the World, Pacific jurisdiction, OPP
ened, peace and harmony does not
reign at the session. There is an I'M
dercurrent of dissatisfaction, particu-
larry among the Pacific coast dele
gates, notably John +, Foley of San
Francisco and many of the foremost
Oregon members.
1t was some time before Mr.. Foley
could be persuaded to come on the
platform, which he did at last, sitting
next to P. E. Snodgrass of Eugene,
head banker, who, rumor has it, will
lose his office through the manipula-
tions of the present administration
which proposes to place T. P. Revelle
of Seattle in his place.
So great is the dissatisfaction with
the high handed way in which things
seem to be run, that there is talk of
postponing the election from Wednes-
day, the day on which the constitution
provides 1t should be held, to a later
date, in order that the delegates may
become better acquainted with each
other and that harmony may be re-
stored before there is any business
transacted.
Congressman Hawley was present
this morning and is a candidate to
succeed himself as head manager. He
is being backed by the administration
and opposed by both the insurgents
and Independents. Both Herman
