N Y. Newspaper Says,
"Ballinger Must Co.

NEW YORK, May 1.-TWO New
York newspapers. the Press and
World, comment editorially on the
sensational development that Secre-
tary Ballinger's subordinate prepared
for Mr.. Taft an exoneration Of the
secretary which later formed the
basis for the presidents Official de.
cision. Other New York papers L.
more the incident editorially.
In part the World says:
When Mr.. Taft was a Judge OF the
United States circuit court he allowed
no subordinate or a lltigant to prepare
tentative opinions for him.
He permitted no lawyer to ante
date briefs in order to meet the claims
OF opposing counsel
He heard all the arguments him
self; he read the briefs himself: he
decided the cases himself, and the de-
cisions were the decisions of Judge
Taft.
The public rightfully assumed that
this was the way Mr.. Taft acted in
the Ballinger case too; that the presi-
dent sat as a Judge; that he carefully
weighed the evidence both against
and for the secretary OF the interior,
and that when he exonerated Mr.
Ballinger he was deciding as an i'm.
partial judge. uninfiuenced by any.
thing but the cold, remorseIess facts
The country can no longer believe
that this was Mr.. Taft's attitude. In
permitting Attorney General Wicker.

written opinion. and In allowing the
assistant Encouragement for the in.
terror department to prepare a memo
randum TO help the president In franz
ing his opinion, Mr.. Taft Invested him
self In his function as judge and must
now be included among the attorneys
for the defense"
The Press, after reviewing the en-
tire controversy, and criticisng
severely Balllnger and wichersham,
says"
We think the public has been
forced TO the conclusion that the
president, though he meant TO do the
right thing IN the Ballinger case. was
misled by his secretary OF the interior,
by the encouragement and by others
whose advice Mr.. Taft felt compelled
10 accept, but who were more con
cerned with protecting Ballinger and
his hackers, than they were DESTROYS
OF helping Mr. Taft TO take the wise.
the just and the correct course Of al.
ministration.
We are compelled 10 believe, that
without regard TO what the conclusion
OF congress may be. the cause OF cor
servation, the efficiency OF the intsrior
department. and the popularity OF the
TAFT administration will be benefited
by the separation from II OF Secretary
Ballinger Nor can we escape the
conviction that Mr.. Taft conld easily
improve upon Mr.. Wickersham's AZ
torney-generalship."

a constant user.
1t is cheaper than milkman's milk, be-
cause of the saving on the cost of delivery.
But the main saving comes in the saving
of waste. With Van Camps, no milk is

Perfectly Sterile

Van Camps Milk is sterilized after the
cans are sealed.
The slight almond flavor is due to this
sterilization. 1t is the flavor OF heated
milk.
The result is a milk that is safe. Chill
dren can drink it without thought OF in
lection.
Raw milk is more dangerous than raw
meat, and the whole medical world protests
against its use Soon or late, all careful
people must come to sterilized milk like

Our cows are Holsteins-the worlds best
breed. Robust, contented, famous for their
splendid vitality.
Holstein milk is immeasurabiy better than
the milk from mongrel cows.
Our milk, fresh from the cows. is placed
in vacuum. And a moderate heat, be
cause of the vacuum, throws off the water
in steam.
Thus we throw off two-thirds of. the

as thick cream. You replace this water

JUVENILE COURTS.

Act No. I35-F1ouse Bill No. 86-Joint
resolution proposing an amendment to
the Constitution of the State of Louis
lana by amending Act No. 245. "a long
preamble may be reduced by saying that
it is intended to regulate the care of
neglected and delinquent children and
provides for the .trial of adults in GER
tain cases and the establishing of juven-
lie courts.)
It is also intended to suspend the op-
Grafton of the juvenile court law in the
parishes. Under the present law it is
not possible to send TO prison or the
penitentiary criminals under the age of
seventeen years. At this time there is
no reformatory, but one is to be CON
structed at Monroe. When completed
juvenile offenders will be assigned there.
In the meantime, if the amendment is
adopted, juveniles may be imprisoned
or sent to the penitentiary, without any
hope of Improvement or redemption
The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1910-10-23

This amendment applies to the old
Cornfeds; comparatively to the few,
who being INDECENT need some help from
the State. The State has done little for
the men who have maintained its honor
and its integrity through the vicissitudes
of war and the tribu1ations of peace.
The tax rate will not be increased by
the endorsement of this proposition. Let
the vote for be untnimous.

amendment to the Constitution exempt
ing from taxation for fifteen years from
the date of full cash payment of their
capital stock domestic steamship COM
panies engaged in foreign commerce,
and fixing the conditions of such ex-
emption.l
The intent is to. exempt steamship
companies from the payment of taxes
for fifteen years as were railroads. Such
privileges for fifteen years is too long,
and therefore it may be defeated, since
the State at large would only be an in
direct beneficiary of whatever seeming
advantage would accrue to New Orleans
from the steamship traffic.
