THE FLOWER OF THE FLOCK

A Washington news writer sent out last week this interesting piece of po- litical information: "The rumor start ed in California, somehow, that Oscar Lawler Assistant Attorney General for the Interior Department, intended to resign and return to California. Mir. Lawler denied that there is any truth in this report. The Attorney General 5 office and the Interior Department would be sorry to lose his services, for he has proved to be very capa- ble and faithful official Mir. Lawler came into very general notice recently by his testimony in the Ballinger- Pin chot investigation. Opinions differ re- garding his testimony, but it was very definite, direct, unequivocal, and it left no possible doubt that he was loyal to his chief and to the adminis- tration"

VICTORY OVER OBSTACLES
(Los Angeles Times)

The earliest settlers in Imperial Val encountered difficulties. They were true pioneers for the reason that they were entering into a territory in many ways dissimilar and in very few ways similar to anything attacked by pio- neers before them
 One of the difficulties perhaps hard est to overcome was the abundance of insect life predatory upon vegetable life. The aphis multiplied beyond every conception and experience be- cause of the favorable climatic condi- tions and the rank growth of wild vegetation. When the wild growth cleared away and cultivated crops put in their place the aphis naturally at tackled the handiwork of man with as much avidity as it had the natural ere ations under wild conditions.
 The first cantaloupe crop and other vegetable crops attempted in the val ley wer9 nearly all consumed by the multitudinous tribe of the aphis. We understand that this year the canta- loupe crop is the earliest and best yet known and the destruction by the aphis is unnoticeable.
 The encouraging thing about this new condition is that it seems to be brought about rather by the surround ings created by the cultivation of the soil than by any attack upon the pre- datory tribe. Of course this may be only the development of single sea- son, but it is worth watching and so far as it goes is very encouraging.
 We congratulate the people of the Imperial Valley on the promised suc- cess of their undertaking. They were a venturesome people full of courage and the power of the iniatiative. They went into new country under new conditions, endured many hardships and encountered many obstacles, some natural some artificial, some preda- tory like the aphis although of human origin, and some from untoward legal Instructions thrown in the way
 The hardy pioneers seem to be work ing their way through the aphis and other predatory developments which they have had to encounter We wish them good luck and victory over all obstacles whether predatory bugs or predatory men.

AMERICAN DREYFUS CASE Amazing Record of Dupllclty and Mendaeity In the esIlineer
 Case.
(Collier,s Weeklyl.

Why did the Attorney General of the United States need to misaate a document in order to deceive the public about the amount of investiga- tion made before a public servant was dismissed?
 Why did the President of the United States need to tell the Senate he had based his decision partly on a report of the Attorney General which did not exist; and why did he conceal from the Senate document which would have shown that the "exonera- tion" of Ballinger was prepared not by MT. Taft, but by the Interior De- partment?
 The reason that the President, the Attorney General, and the Interior De- partment struggled so hard to sup press, by shameless trickery, the es- sential documents in the Ballinger case, is that the Lawler- -Ballinger re- port, on which the President founded his so-called exoneration, is a wicked document; a false, cruel, cheating document; a report so full of lies and oppression that it justifies out term, "The American Dreyfus Case" If the President believed this evil con coction, no wonder he discharged Glavis, and allowed Pinchot, Shaw Price, and Hoyt to be sacrificed also to the staying Achilles. MT. Taft wrote a few months ago that he had seldom gone so deeply into any matter as into this. Then alas for him!
 It is no wonder that Clifford Pinchot made up his mind there was too much crookedness in Washington for him to remain quiet.
 It is no wonder that the Admins tration worked so hard to secure an investigation committee which was bound ahead to whitewash. Only the defeat of Cannon thwarted this pretty scheme. Only the fighting powers of MT. Brandies, who understands the System and detests it. dragged the necessary documents out of their hid ing places. Only the presence of the committee of few free men enabled Mir. Brandies to succeed in his hercu- lean effort to stand out against a majority which bullied him, fought his witnesses, and acted as personal counsel for Secretary Ballinger.
 Of course, when this investigation began, the Administration, thinking it could name the committee, never expected that the public would learn
Imperial Valley press., 1910-06-04

such facts as the Guggenheim agree ment, Senator Guggenheim's interest in the Interior Department Hitch cocks role Wickersham's mlsdating and his suppression of the Hoyt in- tervTew, the Presidents permitting the department to write the Judicial" opinion in his own case. When peo- pie complain of the length of this in vestigaton, let them remember that every step has been a struggle against the majority of the committee; that the most important evidence has been suppressed; that the "goat de- fense" has used up much time; that Ballinger's whole plan was to refuse to answer squarely any questions, treating them all as persecution, :" and to lie with incredible freedom. It was only at the end of weeks of struggle that Mir. Brandeis obtained absolute proof of Wickershams du- plicity and Lawler's authorship of Taft's decision.
 In pursuing his usual goat defense, Mir Ballinger denied any personal knowledge of a certain telegram sent to one of the Cunningham claimants whereupon Mir. Brandies, by possessing the original document promptly drove him to admit that he wrote 1t with his own hand.
