The testimony of Glavis in the Pinchot- Ballinger case, as to his methods of securing copies of let ters, indicates very clearly that he would stoop to most anything to gain his ends. It is becoming more and more evident that Pinchot picked a larged sized lemon when he took up Glavis and his charges to discredit Ballinger.

Government of Fads-By Fad
 dists.


 Who recalls the futter in the camp of the saints when some one in Congress proposed that in the in- vestigation of charges againts Sec retary Ballinger the committee might we'll take side step into the forestry service? Later in that day. when it was decided that this should be done. former Chief For ester Pinchot made little spectac- Jular play by saying he was ready to welcome the Congressional commit tee into the woodlands.
 Now we begin to see why the flutter was so loud in the Tapping of frightened wings, and why MT. Pinchot's welcome was so tardy in announcement.
 The cold fact is. the forestry ser vice was mere fad of the late Chief Forester, a costly fad to the country, and the funds were spent not only in an extravaeant manner, but illegally as well. These forest reserves are nearly all virgin for ests. The ax is a stranger to them. They have been growing for ages. They are now as well timbered as they will be in a century. If they can be made to pay ever it is now. Timber is sold from these woods but not cent finds its way to the treasury. It all goes to pay fees for young faddists in college, to pay their travelling expenses while fitting themselves for duties at some future time. provided they develop industry and capacity to learn.
 Give us back little of the plain common sense and common honesty of the days now counted back num- bers. Time was when our fathers had the slowness and conception to imagine that they were to obey the laws, spend public money accord ing to the terms of the act by which the appropriation was made. and turn in an itemized account in which an expert would find no flaw. Inner illumination is great, and to be born a patriot is fine. But this republic may be wrecked as disas-- trously by fads as by robbers. by faddists as by corruptionists. Los Angeles Times.

With our population increasing at the rate of nearly a million a year during the last half century it is clear that we can hardly learn too thoroughly our probable limit of soil and crop production. and the best methods of insuring and maintain ing it. Probably nothing can give a safer measure of the maintenance capacity of the farm and farmers of a nation than the number of peo- pie they feed per unit area of culti- vated fields and it is doubtful if there IS better place to study this problem than in Ariona. at the present time.

Has Control of Wireless =,

Gloucester, Mass, Nov. S.-Impor-
tant discoveries in the field OF "telauto-
matics," or wireless control OF auto
mata, are reported to have been made
by John Hays Hammond, ir., son OF
the well-known mining engineer.
Young Hammond, who WAS graduated
from Yale this year, has four inventions
which he believes cover more conf
prchcnsive system than any yet de-
vised. BY special mechanism he
says he has attained absolute selectiv-
ity, thus doing away with the inter-
ference that is common to the ordinary
wireless system.
This device, by using only one kind
of wave or impulse, will, it is said, dif-
ferentiate this impulse al the will OF the
operator into upward OF thousand
separate mechanical movements. In
this way any ordinary mechanism can
be controlled by wireless wires.

Strike Postponed.

New York, Nov. S.-The election in
tervening today postponed for at least
a day the calling Of general teamsters
strike in New York, No meetings are
scheduled today by either the express
drivers or the express companies. but
a lot OF secret work is being done.
Tomorrow the executive council Of
the International Brotherhood OF
Transfers will cast the die one way or
the other. The strikers think the de-
cision will be for general strike, call.
ing out about $4,000 teamsters in
greater New York. Merchants are
hopeful, however, that the pressure
they are exerting on the express COM
panies will force the latter TO recede
from their position and open the way
for arbitration OF the trouble.
The express companies are practi-
cally alone in their position, which is
still refusal even to promise the
strikers that none OF them will DC dis
charged for having joined the strike.
This is now the only guarantee de-
manded by the strikers, that OF the
recognition OF the union being waived,
with the understanding that it be one
of the points arbitrated.
Both Mayor Gaynor and the Mer-
chants Association are urging the ex-
press companies to concede this point.
Tho only visible sign OF the strike to-
day VAS the shortage Of taxicabs,
nearly 1000 chauffeurs having joined
in a sympathetic strike. 1t is probable
that they will take advantage OF the
situation to seek better conditions OF
employment for themselves, in which
event nearly all OF the taxicab drivers
are expected to 60 out,
The strikers case is now IN the
hands OF Samuel Gompers, president OF
the American Federation OF Labor;
Daniel ]. Tobin, president OF the In
ternational Brotherhood of Transfers,
having been called to St. Louis.
The German imperial parcels post,
which maintains parcel delivery
service in New York, is much per-
turbed over the prospect OF general
strike. The German company has
only one wagon and its driver who is a
strict union man, and says lie will de-
sert his post at the first call ofa general
strike. The parcels post is main
iained by the German government and
the possibility OF international compli-
cations with Germany in the event OF
interference with its business, is one OF
the interesting phases OF the strike.
