Cardinal Gibbons Tells the Cause for
the General Unrest Now in
the United
States.
AUTOS AND THEATRES
Common Sense Treatment of so-caiI-
ed Ills of the People VIII
Result in Re.
ducton.

BALTIMORE Md, Sept. 6-Car-
dinal Gibbons in an interview here
upon causes of the general unrest
throughout this country said that
the conditions which are hampering
the progress of the country are due,
in part, to the too common lack of
economy b. the present generation
and the desire for too many Injuries
and extravagances
The people believe he said, that
they must have automobiles, must go
to the theaters, NUT have various
kinds of amusements and must have
many things more Or less extrava-
CANT, without which Lneir fathers and
grandfathers got along we'll enough
and prospered. This desire prevents
sensible conservation of the peo-
pies resources"
The North American Review" said
Cardinal Gibbons, "ascribes one OF
the causes of the prevailing unrest to
| the popular agitation against the
/ trusts. But the people must remem-
! ber that in our days there is a uni
/
in every department of trade and busi-
ness. In union there is strength, in
! the physical, moral and social world,
and Just as the power and majesty OF
our republic are derived from the
political union of the several states
SO do men clearly perceive that the
healthy combination of human forces
in the economic world can accomplish
results which could not be effected
by any individual efforts. When cor
porations thus combine. it is quite
natural that mechanics and laborers
should follow their example.
There should not and need not be
any conflict between labor and capital,
since both are necessary for the pub
lie good and the one depends on the
cooperation of the other.
Common sense treatment of the So
called ills of which people of this
. country are complaining will result,
the people will find. in their import
ance being greatly reduced. The
country is growing fast, and with such
rapid growth it is impossible that all
conditions should be perfect, but what
ills there are, what causes of unrest
prevail may all be minimized or
, overcome by the exercise of a chris
tian spirit and the application OF
common sense

Enthusiasm.
WATER POWER PROBLEM
Did not Attempt to Solve This But
Promised to Submit the
Question to
Congress.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. 6.-Af-
ter speaking at the Conservation Con-
gress in st. Paul in the morning and
at the Minnesota State Fair Grounds
outside the city in the afternoon,
President Taft left for Beverly last
night by way of Chicago.
In his conservation address the
president won quick response from
his thousands OF hearers by an appeal
to practical common sense in dealing
With conservation problems.
In the opinion of many who heard
him the president also made answer
TO the receIt agitation for new ma
,ionalislr : or a federal centralization
of power. by declaring the only safe
course to pursue was to hold fast to
the limitations of the constitution
snd to regard as sacred the power of
the states
Mr.. Taft, amid applause, made fre-
quens references to the services of
Theodore Roosevelt in the cause of
conservation. but he declared the
time for rhapsodies and glittering
! generalities had passed. He suggested
1 to the congress it should invite its
speakers to come down to details, to
/ specific evils and specific remedies.
These sentiments by the president
seemed to receive the approval OF
4 nearly ali Ills hearers. They came
d near the end OF long, detailed and
exhaustive discussion of conservation
and he ended his speech with the aud
j fence on it's feet.
Il Mr.. Taft did not attempt to solve
the problem of water-power site con
troll, as between the states and the
general government. but after stat
| ing the arguments advanced on botf
sides of the subject he said he woult
| submit the whole matter to the con
5 gress at Washington for determine

election today of Lieutenant Governor
John A. Mead OF Rutland TO the gov
ernorship over Charles D. Watson of
st Adams. his democratic opponent,
together with all the other republi-
can candidates, with the exception of
a few senators and representatives,
is expected by both the republicans
and democratic managers. They diff
fer considerably. however. in their
claims as te thes.siige of the renubli'
! can Victory, and In that question lies
the principal interest In the biennial
election.
The average republican majority in
Vermont in off years since 1870 is
19,200 The republicans freely numit
that they fear party apathy more than
democratic antagonism and some OF
the leaders claim that if there is a
decided drop below the average it will
be due more to dissatisfaction with
the candidates than to disaffectior
from the party itself In fact, ma
tlonal issues have scarcely been men
toned on the stump.
Chairman Williams of the republi
can state committee claimed an aver
age majority for en- off year.
Chairman Hsr iris of the democratic
state committee said that the repub

MONEY FOX ALL THE PARTIES
New York Corporations Gave to Every

New York, Sept. 1.-THE admission
that every corporation with which he
had ever been identified not only had
contributed to political campaign
funds, but had contributed to the cam.
paign fund of Everybody that ever
ran for office" was made on the stand
by H. H. Vreeland, ex-president Of the

who was the star witness at yester.
days session of the Merritt investlgat-
ing committee.
Mr. Vreeland could only be made to
specify amounts for the year 1908. In
that year the corporation of which he
had then been president, the Metro
politan Securities company, had con.
tributed $4,000 to $4,000 to the Re-
pubncan state committee and $4,000
10 $4,000 to the Democratic state
committee. The company may also
have made campaign contributions
locally but the witness could not be
positive on that point.

CABINET TODEC|DE
FOR .BALE|NGER
The Secretary Will Put Case Up to
Associates.
PRESENT POSITION UNTENABLE
Failure Of Committee to Taks Final
Action a Serious Disappointment
to the Accused
Man.

Washington, Sept. II. - Whether
Richard A. Ballingers resignation al
secretary Of the interior will follow
Immediately upon the meeting Of the
cabinet, September 16. to attend
which he is now on his way from
Seattle; or whether he will retain his
position indefinitely-at least, unit
after the delivery to congress Of the
reports Of the committee which In
vestigated his stewardship of the pub
lie domain-depends now upon the at
titude Of his cabinet associates.
Mr.. Ballinger Is coming to Washing
ton, his friends here insist. wholly I'M
conscious OF any act on his part for
which he should be condemned and
\ has determined to force his chief and
his official colleagues to be, In effect,
his judges. If they concur in the
view at present attributed to Mr.. Taft,
that the accused secretary shall be
sustained as an innocent and perse'
cuted man, he will retain his position;
II they fail to back him up, he will
resign. That this is Mr.. Ballinger's
position was learned here upon author
ity hardly to be questioned.
Greatly Disappointed.
Nobody here doubts that majority
all but one OF the Republican mem
bers--of the investigating committee
will sustain Secretary Ballinger in
their report to congress. But Secre-
tary Ballinger and his partisans here
were greatly disappointed that the
absence of Senator Root and Senator
Flint from the Minneapolis meeting
left the pro-Ballinger part of the COM
mittee in the minority and permitted
the Democrats and the insurgent Re-
publican member to put forth reports
condemning him, which for many
weeks will stand before the country
as the only findings Of the investlgat-
ing committee, whereas he had relied
upon the majority for a vindication
Because Committee Failed.
1t is this failure Of the committee to
take final action which, 1t is said, has
determined Secretary Ballinger's
course. 1t was said here by a close
friend OF the secretary that had the
majority of the committee been ready
to report at the Minneapolis meeting,
he then would have rendered his
resignation to the president and urged
Its acceptance on the ground that the
dissensions to which he has been q
party were detrimental to the public
interest. When the committee at
Minneapolis failed to take action as
whole, and when there was no quorum
at the subsequent meeting in Chicago,
1t became apparent that no decision
could be expected practically for sew
eral months.
This situation is said to have con-
vinced Mr.. Ballinger that his position,
In spite Of he continued support Of
the president, has become untenable.
