THE OTHER SIDE.

Messrs. Pinchot, Garfield. CLAWS and
the others belonging to the self-con-
ceited little band have had their in
nings. 1t is now Secretary Ballinger's
turn. So far as the evidence put in by
the so-called prosecution" is con-
cerned. it can be truthfully stated that
not one fact was brought out connect
ing Mr.. BaIlinger with wrongdoing in
any way, shape or form. There were
insinuations, base insinuations, made
by some OF the self-righteous Pharisees,
but not one scintilla of evidence going
to show that Ballinger, either as secre-
tary of the interior or commissioner of
the general land Office, had ever
swerved a hairsbreadth from the path
of duty. All his official acts are mat
has been clean and upright. The muck
rakers have used every means, legiti-
mate and illegitimate, to besmirch the
fair name of this particular member of
the cabinet of President Taft. Now for
the defense. We shall see how plain
tale Will put them down.
Mr.. Vertrees, counsel for Secretary
Ballinger, went over the ground very
fully in his opening statement to the
joint investigating committee. He took
up the insinuations, innuendoes and
differences one by one, and mercilessly
castigated the little coterie of men
who have sought to discredit the adj
ministration of President Taft. Clearly
and concisely the Tennessee lawyer
presented his case, exposing the weak
ness and falsity, the inconsistency and
general unworthiness of the testimony
marshalled under the direction of Gift.
ford Pinchot. He was not abusive, yet
he did not spare the former forester or
his chief henehman, CLAWS, The state
ment of Mr.. Vertrees paves the way for
the appearance Of Secretary Ballinger
before the joint committee TO complete
the work Of putting his enemies TO route
Pinchot's premonition that the decision
would be adverse to him when he took
flight will be realized in a very short
space Of time.

der Republican leadership. Conserva-
ton viii be no exception to the rule.
The people have indicated their desire
that such laws be passed. and natur-
ally the Republican party was selected
to do the work, and no mistake was
made. But conservation of our nat
ural resources is one thing and riotous
disregard of existing laws quite an
other. In the matter of the withdrawal
of public lands upon one pretense or
another Mr.. Garfield. when secretary
of the interior, was a law unto him
self and exercised his own sweet WILL
to the great detrinent Of the western
states. Mr.. Pinchot also acted upon
the impulse of the moment. All this
has been changed. The laws are looked
into before action is taken, and there
is no invasion of the public rights.
Conservation is assured, safe, sane
and sensible conservation. In the mean
time let all things continue to be done
decently and in order.

CONCESSIONS MADE.

There will be no tariff war with
Canada. For a few days apprehension
was felt lest the Dominion and the
United States were going to engage in
the Improbable pastime of CONNER
cially cutting each others throats
President Taft bestirred himself in the
matter and an agreement was reached
with the representatives Of the Ca
madam government. Concessions will
be made by Canada, and as a result she
will get the benefit OF the minimum
rates of the Payne-Aldrich law. Thus
another cause of worry has been re-
moved and, incidentally, the value OF
the maximum and minimum provision
of the new tariff act proved.
During the debate at the extra ses-
sion of Congress, and many times since,
1t was asserted with much vehemence
that we were sure to have tariff war
with this, that or the other country,
Canada, France and Germany being
the nations generally named as the
ones most likely to engage In a COM
mercial struggle with the United
States. What a disappointment fate
had in store for the croakers. First
Germany, then France. and finally
Canada recognized the wisdom of
avoiding trouble over the tariff. They
also conceded the justice of the rates
imposed by this country. By the ex-
ercise of diplomacy they get in on the
ground floor, as the trainers OF the law
intended they should, by moderating
some Of the features. generally consid-
cred to be more or less unwarranted,
of their own tariff laws.
Commercially speaking, the United
States never occupied so good posi-
t on as it does at the present time.
There are no tariff wars, and there will
be none. The only fly In our ointment
is the fact that we are utterly desti-
tute of a merchant marine. all our ex-
ports and imports, to and from the
great markets of the world, being car
ried in foreign bottoms. Some day the
voters in the granger states will
awaken to the Importance Of remedy
ing this defect and allowing a reason
able compensation to American ship
builders and steamship companies for
their enterprise. Under existing cir
eumstances vessels flying the Ameri-
can flag cannot enter the ocean carry
ing trade and compete with the foreign
ers, owing to the fact that the latter
are heavily subsidized. In this manner
a part of the advantage secured by our
tariff laws is lost.
Less than a year has passed since the
extra session of Congress called by
President Taft to revise the tariff end
ed its labors. Every claim made for the
law enacted has worked out in salts
factory manner. More than this, the
revenues are increasing every day.
Wasn't the President right when he so
stoutly asserted that the Payne-Al- |
drich act was the best tariff law ever
passed by any country?

OLD AGE PENSIONS.

France is to have a Workmen's old
age pension law. The chamber of dep
uties has passed one bill and the sen.
ate another. The latter measure will
| probably be agreed upon. The bill pro-
vides for contributions from three
sources for the pension fund. First,
obligatory yearly contributions from
the wage-earner amounting to nine
francs for men, six francs for women
and four and one-half francs (about
ninety cents) for minors; second. the
contribution of the employer, which
equals that Of the wage-earner; third,
the contribution of the state.
The beneficiaries are to draw pensions
at the age of IS, or after thirty years
of service, with certain diminutions for
advanced enjoyment. The full pen
sion at the lowest unit of contribution
will be Ala francs (about 1922 per an
mum, except for farm laborers, whose
contribution and pension is slightly
less.
The benefit will be enjoyed by about
II, 000, coo persons, including every cate
CORY of workers except railroad en-
ployees, miners and seamen, who al
ready enjoy pensions. All state en-
ployes are retired upon pensions at
specified age.
Being based in part upon obligatory
contributions of the wage-earners the
plan partakes somewhat of the nature
of insurance. In this country, with
the good wages received by the work
ingmen, the subject Of old age pensions
has not been given much thought. An
other century and perhaps it will be
given serious consideration.

NEVADA DIVORCES.

The Sagebrush State is achieving
more OF less notoriety just at the pres
ent time on account OF the ease and
CELEBRITY with which divorces are OBJ
tanned. South Dakota formerly held
the palm in this respect. Now Nevada
has all the trade. Quite a colony OF
eastern people seeking relief from the
calling yoke of matrimony make BUSH

throw at birds and brides. Doubtless
this source of revenue would be missed

True worth is tn being, not seeming
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good-not in the dreaming
OF great things to do by and by,
For whatever men say in blindness,
And spite of the fancies of youth.
There's nothing SO kingly as kindness,
And nothing so royal as truth.
We get back our mete as we measure
We can not do wrong and feel right,
Nor can We give pain and gain pleasure
For justice avenges each slight.

The bush for the robin and wren.
But always the path that is narrow
And straight for the children of men.

James Wilson, of Tama, secretary OF
agriculture in President Taft's cabi.
net, addressed political meeting here

the Union. He highly complimented
the goods roads movement which has
been advanced in this state.
MIR. Wilson says that the good roads
movement is one that is bound tc
grow, and believes the present move
ment will gradually develop in future
years into the building of permanent
highways. such as are now constructed
in the east.
Another great movement on which
Wilson was enthusiastic is the agri
cultural extension work being done
in this state. He Expressed the be
lief that the value of the Soil Spec
ial,' Dairy Special" and other edu
cational extension specials can not be
over estimated. He highly compli
mented the Burlington railroad fol
its work in conducting the recen,
Soils Special" and said that it would
be a sad day for Iowa should it ever
come, when the commercial fertilizer
begins to ply his trade in this state
That every consideration should be
given farmers to the gospel of pres
ervation of soil fertility as spread by
the Burlington special, is the express
ed hope of the Secretary of Agricul
ture.
Mr.. Wilson, after his address here
went with his daughter to Audobon
where he will speak tonight. The par
ticipation of Miss Wilson in her faith
er's campaign tour recalls to her the
memory of similar trip when she was
a little girl. She says she is enjoying
the trip immensely. Upon her arriva
here she was flooded with requests
to sing at the meeting. Her reputa
ton as vocalist is we'll establish
ed in Iowa, through which state she
