and at the same time that he had made
no effort to give Mr.. CLAWS a chance
to know what these counter-charges
against him were. He could not point
to anything which showed that he had
anything against Mr. CLAWS until he
heard that Mr.. CLAWS had appealed to
the President. In connection with this
fact letter was elected from the At
torney-General, stating that the At
orney-GeneraIs opinion against Mr..
CLAWS was delivered orally to the
President, then put into writing and
amplified to long summary and re-
port, and when finally prepared was
dated back to the day of the oral de-
livery of the opinion, although in the
meantime the President had taken ac-
ton. Secretary Ballinger could not
make it clear what he meant when he
said that the Gale bill, in favor of
which he appeared before a Congress
sional committee, would not benefit the
Cunningham claimants, and that in
appearing before that committee he
did not have these claimants in mind
The fact uncontradicted is that these
claimants themselves regarded this
bill as beneficial to themselves, and
Secretary Ballinger himself interpret
ed the bill so. as to make it clear that
in one way or another it would be adj
vantageous to these claims; and an
other fact which he could not deny
was that he had instructed a field
agent to get information regarding
coal entries for him to use in his ap-
pearance before this committee, and
that these were the only coal entries
in existence in Alaska at that time, and
that three days before that he was in
communication with the representa-
tives of the Cunningham claimants.
Secretary Ballinger, moreover, gave
several explanations for being attor-
ney and counsel for these same claim
ants, but nothing that he said was in
actual contradiction to the statement
that he was heir counsel and attor-
ney. He explained that it was only for
land claim, that he had only small
fee and really acted as a matter of
accommodation for these very we'll
to-do men, and that he did not legally
appear" on their behalf. He advised
them and represented them in legal
that he was their legal adviser or rep
resentative. He was very indignant
at the idea that in the list of docu-
ments to justify his course which
had been laid before the President
there had been any selection, and yet

CENSUS HYsTERIA.

When the census returns have been
duly counted and finally published,
some expect there will be many sur
prizes in store for the rival towns and
cities which have been boasting of
their growth in population during the
last decade. In some cases, suggests
the St. Louis Globe-Dcmocrat there
will be weeping and wailing and de-
nunciation of ''pinhead" enumerators,
while, on the other hand, now and
then place which has been secretly
fearing that respected and despised
rival has it faded may find 1t wins by
a nose--a nose is enough" Many West
ern cities, we gather from their news
papers, look to the census reports to
find the results of ten years strenuous
boosting" Every municipality is
looking for an increase in population
and particularly for some gain In "city
rank
The governments enumerators have,
therefore, found themselves supported
by civic pride and civic patriotism.
And, too, they have found their work
supplemented by the efforts OF city Of
ficials, newspapers, and enthusiastic
citizens.-Litcrary Digest.

in several cases he could give no other
answer to the question why certain
letter or telegram or statement of fact
was withheld than that in his opinion
1t was not material, although, as Mr..
Brandeis pointed out, Mr.. CLAWS might
have thought 1t was very decidedly ma
terial. In this instance, as in great
number of instances, Mr.. Ballinger
protested that he was not familiar with
the contents or even the existence Of
letters and kilograms he had signed,
and he referred matters regarding
them to his subordinates. Secretary
Ballinger was not able to state that
the President was not mistaken in
some respects in his public announce
ment of what he understood to be the
facts in connection with his decision to
dismiss Mr.. CLAWS and to exonerate

Patrons of the 0. S. l.. passenger
department at the local depot have a
good big howl about the lack Of ac-
commodations. Not but what court

by the agent and ticket man. but for
the TACT that the ticket window is
closed too much of the time in order
10 make a trifle saving in the com
panys expense account and work the
ticket agent on some other railroad
work. Such treatment might settle

AS matter of common knowledge the
passenger sales at this depot average
ever five hundred dollars daily and that
such income should demand that the

THE KINGS FUNERAL.

Yesterday the ashes of Great Britains
late king were given to the sepulcher.
The ceremonies were conducted with
all the solemn pomp that the invention
ot centuries has been able to make
tnem, but underneath all the display
there was the real grief of sorrow
Ing people, for the British nation six
cerely loved their late king. That he
did not lessen, but rather intensified
their affection for him, for they held
that his very frailties were proof of
the warmth of his heart. Then he
was in full sympathy with all that
Englishmen hold as mans part in
the world. He was with them in their
church; in the opening of their schools
and hospitals; he went hunting and
competed in their races; and though
in life, he was real king when he
did, and all the wise men of his coun-
try and of foreign countries who
watched his work, agree that he stead
led the state with master hand.
So his death brought more sorrow to
his people than the death of any pre-
ceding sovereign of his country ever
did.
They looked back along the list from
the first one who wore the crown
down, and he holds first place in their
hearts, at least the first place except
ing his royal mother, and we doubt if
she was as near the hearts of all her
people as was her son. She had the
deep respect of her people, her son
wop their love, and his funeral was
not a cold following of ceremonials,

SOME FACTS AS THEY STAND.


In view Of the manner OF Secretary
Ballinger's answers to Mr.. Brandeis's
questions, 1t is not easy to say just
what he meant to state on cross-exam-
nation. If at one time he made
statement that seemed to be clear, he
would at another time make a state
ment that showed either that he had
forgotten what he had said before, or
that he had understood by it some
thing quite different from what the or
binary person would understand by it..
He did not, therefore, on the one hand,
clearly make many admissions Of error
or misstatement, or, on the other, cor
rect many Impressions that had been
created by testimony unfavorable to
him. 1t became evident on cross-ex-
animation that Secretary Ballinger
was we'll acquainted with number OF
claimants to coal lands in Alaska
known as the Cunningham group. Par
ticularly Secretary Ballinger made it
clear that he was on good terms with
two or three of the more prominent
men among them. He denied with feel
ing that any acquaintance he might
have with them influenced his action
as Commissioner of the Land Office in
having their claims clear-listed for
patent. He minimized the service
which CLAWS, the head of the field di-
vision, and Jones, field agent, did in
securing information about these
claims, and went so far as to deny that
after he had clear-listed the claims for
patent he had Cancelled the order for
clear-listing on account of any ques-
ton which Mr.. CLAWS had raised; and
yet ne could point to no reason for the
cancellation of that order, an act
which prevented these lands from fall
ing into the hands of a syndicate, ex-
cept the telegram and letter of Mr..
CLAWS. He was asked TO explain coin
cidences between actions of Cunning
ham claimants and corresponding ac-
lions by the Land Office apparently
tally condolences connected with tele-
graphic communication between him
self and one of the claimants (tele-
graphic communication which he could
not ascribe to a subordinate), but he
could give no explanation. He stated,
in answer to questions, that Mr.. CLAWS
had done a hard task considerably in
going to him directly with his fears
about the danger to public lands in
Alaska. When questioned about one
particular phase of this, however, he
failed to show convincingly that Mr..
CLAWS did not also have good snare
in bringing a knowledge of this danger
to the Acknowledgement. Indeed, it
was the attempt of Mr.. CLAWS, after
finding Mr.. Ballinger unresponsive, to
appeal to the Acknowledgement and the
President that evidently did most to
arouse Mr.. Ballinger to indignation on
the stand and to express resentment
at what he called aspersions on his
character. He acknowledged that he
took considerable pains, involving
some journeying, to put his answer to
Mr.. Glavis's so-called charges before
the President, and that he himself had
a hand in preparing the commensurate
ments that reflected on Mr.. CLAWS

President Taft's determination

President Taft's determination to
keep Ballinger in as Secretary of the
Interior is meritably bound to place
him in a singular position before the
American public. On one side he poses
as the exponent of the Roosevelt policy
of conservation, and was elected upon
that platform. Recent utterances Of
President Taft reiterated such claims.
Naturally the public should believe
that he is for conservation. Now comes
his White-wash of Ballinger, charged
with completely in one of the worst
blows ever aimed at conservation
the Cunningham coal land steal when
the evidence brought out does not
clear Mr.. Ballinger while it does not
convict. The two positions OF Mr..
Taft are antagonistic and cannot be
reconciled in any way. Is then Mr..
Taft's conservation talk his true policy
or does he by retaining Ballinger give
the lie to his much quoted speeches for
the policy the public wants? The COM
mon opinion of press all over the ma
tion together with that of the voters,
should be that Mr.. Taft, along with
his tariff endorsement, has forgotten
Roosevelt and his policy for the fur
therance of purely partisan politics.

The abundance of potatoes in and
about the city of Twin Falls should
be the needed impetus toward getting
q potato starch factory to care for
the surplus crop each year. The fact
that seed potatoes are being offered
everywhere upon the tract for prac-
tically nothing, should be convincing
to most farmers that some home mar
ket must be created to care for what is
now shipping impossibility. Price OF
potatoes at market makes no differ
ence to the railroad, which usually
gets the biggest slice of the selling
price for transportation. This year
fewer potatoes may be put in as the
result of last years lesson with the
accompanying shortage and high
prices next fall Such conditions with
regard to potato crop would be reme-
died by a starch factory, which could
be made not only to care for the sur
pulls, thus keeping up fair price, but
would stimulate potato culture to the
extent that would make conditions al
WAYS normal. Stock in such factory
could be handled with only a little
outside capital, almost entirely among
the potato growers, who would appre-
ciate market in the place of abnorm-
al prices one year and correspond
ing slump the next. The Commercial
club would do we'll to investigate the
matter and try to get such factory
located here.
