Mr.. Pepper says that the question
whether Pinchot has been right and
Ballinger wrong is less important than
whether the administration of the In.

been marked by fidelity to the public
interest. lie says that when Mr.. Bal.

Attorney Brandeis, counsel for for.
ner special agent CLAWS, and Attorney
Pepper, counsel for former forester,
Pinchot, contend in their briefs that the
evidence adduced during the invcstiga.

is unfit to administer to the affairs of
the public domain because Of an oh.
vious leaning toward q policy Of distri.
button instead of conservation of the

They condemn his attitude toward the
champions of conservation, and charge
him with causing embarrassment to the
president and loss to the people.

the situation in Alaska, and that all OF
the acts for which he was criticised
were performed by subordinates for
whom he is not responsible.

"Such a defense IL enough to con.

Mexico Gets II.

The meeting of the Missouri Sad

that it would be a big thing for
their town. The President of the
American Saddle Horse Association
Gen. John B, Castleman, is to be
present and deliver an address. A

will commence in Mexico on Feb

Needless Harness.

Horses are placing mankind daily
under everlasting obligations to
them, says Secretary Pershing of
the South Bend, Indiana. Humane
Society, but how cruelty and
thoughtlessly are they repaid by
those who are most indebted to
them. A horse is a noble animal;
patient. kind-hearted, self-sacritiC-
ing, willing to work till he dies in
his tracks. uncomplaining; a lover
of kind treatment and who is will
ing to work a whole lifetime with
no other compensation than his bed
and board.
Of the many things which make
the daily life of a horse miserable,
two are binders and the tight
checkrein, the worst parts of a
horses harness. Very many peO-
pie believe that they are part and
parcel of a horse and that he would
not be horse without them.
The majority of horses could
readily disperse with binders, and
all could if they had never been in
vented. Binders were first used
by a nobleman in England to hide
a defect on his horses head and
later they were found excellent To-
cation for the displaying of his
coat-of-arms.
A horses head was never intend.
ed for blinders. for his eyes are sc
set in his head that he can see be-
hind him without turning his head
and. of course, the binders deprivC
him of seeing the very things thai
he should see. for his own safety Al
well as his drivers A horses ey'
is a beautiful object and it is {
shame to cover it
I Whenever see q man driving I
horse without blinders / always fee
