TAFT IN A PICKLE

N IFFORD PINCHOTS letter to the
T president concerning the Cunning
~ ham Morgan n-Guggenheim claims
in Alaska puts the matter up to the
executive with a directness that he
cannot evade. Secretary Ballinger, too,
says that he has turned the matter
over to Mr.. Taft. So the president
must take the responsibility for the
decision, as he has already been held
to account by the country for his allie
glance to the secretary of the Interior
Mr.. Pinchot says that in his opinion
the Alaska grab is fraudulent. He also
says his attorneys declare them fraud
ulent. Mr.. Ballinger. as Pinchot points
out, has said through his attorneys that
the claims are legal. The country does
not believe BaIlinger's protests Of DIS
intcrestedness or anything else he says
in the matter. 1t thoroughly dlstrusts
the president also-not that it has
suspicion of dishonesty, but that obVi-
ously he let Ballinger write the letter
dismissing CLAWS and permitted Wick
ersham to antedate his opinion, hoping
thereby TO show falsely that he had
had legal opinion for the dismissal be-
fore the step was taken.
The great majority of those who
have followed the case may not be able
to pass opinion on the legality of the
Cunningham claims, but they do know
that the president has gulped down
everything Ballinger has told him,
shutting his eyes to all the damaging
evidence brought out by Attorney
Brandeis in the recent Investigation,
especially that Ballinger acted for Gun
ningham before he became secretary,
and that after he became secretary
he tried to hurry through the patent
ing Of the claims.
Few persons will doubt that Pin
chots letter is prompted by a sense
of public duty but he has accomplished
a twofold result in keeping this i'm
mensely important subject fresh in the
public mind and putting its settlement
squarely up to Mr. Taft-or rather, in
focusing attention on the presidents s
responsibility.
Mr. Taft must now fish or cut bait
he must pass the Cunningham claims
and be eXcCrated from ocean to ocean,
or he must turn it down and thereby
condemn Ballinger and his own weak
ness in submitting to the domination
of that discreditcd man. it is a humli-
ating situation which at one time
would have earned for him much sym
pathy, but not now.

AS TO HIGHER WAGES

Editor Herald: On such a day as
this everyone should be thankful for
the simple fact of being alive Many
people seem to think one is sacrilegi-
Gus if he does not sit down and let
everything take care of itself. But
while being thankful we should not be
satisfied with the worlds living prob
lens. While the great mass of people
have to do without luXuries and plenty
of things that really are necessities,
millions Of people are so situated that
they cannot enjoy such a day as this.
Some are in coal mines, others in
stuffy shops and hundreds of occupa-
tions, with the thought ever present
that they are just making living,
and not laying much by for old age.
When one thinks Of such things and
is dissatisfied with such conditions it
shows that he is wrapped up in his
own shell. No one should be, satisfied
to think of only living wages without
a desire to want 10 help in some way
to make a condition for the people
that would allow men to make more
than a living, to allow a provision for
old age.
Our statesmen appear to be satisfied
with the existing conditions. / do not
read any speeches or newspaper ar
ticles that speak for higher wages as
a thing to be desired. On the other
hand, in some ways the conditions are
deplored that the railroads have had
to pay higher wages. There is only
one principle at stake, that allows any
one to pay higher wages, not the doing
of a large volume % business, but SIM
ply taking more money in business.
We are doing business and paying
wages on the basis of what money we
have got; it will never be better until
we pay more money per capita.

There ought not to be any occasion

NUDITY AND THE BIBLE

Editor Herald: 1t has often been Of
fensively and enormously said that one
can prove anything from the Bible, and
the many attempts made by weil-mean-
ing idealists to that end has often
brought contempt upon the "One Best
Book"
1t will certainly seem strange to BIZ
BILE students to be told that the com
mand given by God how Aaron and
his sons should be clothed, as we'll as
Adam and Eve. were for climatic rea-
sons This is evidently an afterthought
of S. NJ. S. Probably inspired by my
reference to climatic changes in the
next dispensation, in my answer to his
first letter.
Nakedness, both temporal and spirit
ual, has always been the cause Of
shame Since the disobedience in Eden
(see Ex. 1926 and Rev. 318) the feel
ing of shame emanates from the heart
not the mind. If all hearts were pure,
if the blood of all mankind were
cleansed from its deflement inherited,
If all souls were purified by obedience
to the truth, the cause of shame would
vanish and climatic reasons would be
out of the question. j. X.

SOUTHERN MEN AND WOMEN

Editor Herald: Jr your esteemed
paper this week Query" wishes to
know why the movement for woman
suffrage has gained less in the south
than in the north.
1t is, as Query" says. partly be
cause the southern man is more gal
liant" Then the southern woman is
more timid and shrinking and clinging
in her nature than her northern sister.
Besides, in the south marriages are
generally for love, and the woman is
happy in her home, her duties and in
the training of her children.
If all women turned to votes, to bust
ness and to politics, who would care
for the home and for the children?
What would become of motherhood,
womans greatest glory? The laws in
the south made by the men suit and
protect the woman and her interests.
Both the laws and their makers are
influenced from the home, for "the
hand that rocks the cradle is the hand
that rules the world" JANE.

THE WORLDS GREATEST

m HE Getty beautiful convention
which opened yesterday at the
II Bethlehem institution, the scene
of Dana w. Bartletts chief activities
"a man to whom Los Angeles owes
much for stirring it's civic enthusiasm
points to a phase of cur interests too
seldom dwelt upon. We are known
far and wide as a community am
bilious for population and wealth.
whereas we deserve to be known quite
as much for the efforts of our people
to make a city of character in the best
sense of the term.
In few cities in the country does pub
lie sentiment so we'll support the
workers for practical idealism as in
Los Angeles. In few is there so high
an average Of individual cooperation
on the part of the citizens by meeting
the first necessity of a city beautiful,
the adornment by each of his own
premises, and the result is a public
spirit that needs only the direction of
leaders such as those who are now
meeting to accomplish great results
together.
With natures lavish endoWments
upon Southern California it would be
impossible for it's cities not to be at
tractive, and by the same token it
would be wondrous folly not to make
them as beautiful as possible. Los An
geles can be made the worlds most
beautiful large city within ten years,
as many believe it will be. But to
bring it about it will be necessary for
it's people to support the movements
for which the municipal art commits
sion stands-speaking generally and not
for any specific pan-and the conven-
ton now meeting is seeking to foster.
If we can make this the most beau
tiful city we can, with our material
future already assured, make Los An
gees the worlds greatest city-not in
population. perhaps-mere numbers
mean nothing-nor in piles Of marble
and stone, nor in traffic or commerce,
but in the composite that nature and
art will not combine to produce any
where else. 1t is a vision that stirs the
Imagination like an intoXicant.

NEW VERSION

John, John the piper's son,
Thought to steal another one,
But when, with bacon forty cents,
lie thought upon the consequence,
And what he probably would get
In case he landed in the net,
The lawyers he would have to hire
To save him from the butchers ire,
The money Cudahy would spend
To push it to the bitter end,
The merciless concern of Swift
To see they gave him little shrift,
The sum that Armour. If he fled,
Would offer for him, live or dead:
The help that Nelson Morris would
Extend to see he got 1t good,
And how the unforgivlng lust
For vengeance would move the trust
To make example Of him, lest
Some other piper's son protest
Against pork chops at thirty fiat,
And picked pigs feet selling at
Six-bits dozen, souse a bit,
And sausage even close to it
When John considered 1t, in brief,
And also how much more a thief
He would be this time than before,
He wisely passed the butchers door.
Reioiced that self had stood the test,
And went on hoping for the best.

TAGGART'S WORK

wv HEN a city gets an official
wv whose chief pride is in the eff
" cheney and economy with which
he has produced results it would be
both ungenerous and unwise to with
hold praise The showing made by
Clarence NJ. Taggart, city tax collec-
tor, in his address before the City
club on Saturday fully justifies the
satisfaction he manifestly feels over
what he has accomplished in a little
more than year in office.
Mr. Taggart has gathered the vast
sums that fan to his care more
promptly, with less loss and with
more economy than any similar Off
cial has ever done. He has done what
few public servants in any American
city have done, that is. he has put
a public office on precisely the same
basis as obtains in private corpora
tions, where they can't waste as is
done i'm most municipal governments
without going bankrupt.
1t is entirely within the bounds OF
reason 10 assert that If all offices In
all governments could be put upon
such a basis there would not need to
be, and probably would no. be, in
twenty-five years, a single growing
American city with public debt. Ev-
erything could be paid up and all
necessary improvements could be paid
for out of current receipts.
The benefits of service like that
being rendered by Mr.. Taggart does
not end with itself. They come also
from the precedent established. They
show what a thing can be done for
efficiently and thoroughly, and estab-
lish a model which future incumbents
must meet or he judged incompetent
or worse "What has Good Govern
ment done for Los Angeles, anyway?'
sometimes asks u captiOus critic. Well,
for one thing it gave us Taggart.

Weeds No Longer Weeds

Weekly
this story 1 am using words not yet
quite familiar to the common reader.
They indicate how thoroughly farming
has become a profession.
Weeds are no longer weeds, but they
are the material which nature pro-
vides, made of the elements of the air
for the most part. and offered us freely
to increase the SOIL Fifteen years ago
beggarweed was the pest of the cot
ton fields; today it is the grandest
hay producer in the southern states.
Cactus was synonym for the most
obtrusive and troublesome of plants;
TODAY the word stands for one of the
most remarkable forage plants In the
world We are just learning that the
word weed covers a vast mass Of ma
terial, urgently provided by nature to
feed and fatten soil; a wonderful stor-
age to be studied rather than despised.

SCHOOL AGE OF CHILDREN

Editor Herald: At what age should
child be sent to school to obtain the
best results? 1t is contended by some
theorists that the minds of youngsters
should lie fallow until they are at
least seven years old. Most children
probably start in public school life at
about the age of five. Is this mis-
take? Perhaps some of your readers
have made careful Investigations in
this matter and can give good advice
to. PUZZLED PARENT.
