RoosEvELT's RETURN TO POW
Err IN 1912 MENACE TO REPRE-
SENTATIVE GOVERNMENT.

Louisville, La, April 30.-Under
the caption, WHITTIER Henry Wat
terson says in the Courier Journal
The Roosevelt apotheosis proceeds
apace. Theodore Roosevelt himself
carries all before him as he literally
rides down the courts and people OF
Europe The Courier Journal was
we'll within the mark when it de-
clared that no FIGURE quite so startling
has appeared in the world since Ma
poleon Bonaparte. Says the st. PAU
Dispatch. edited by George Thomp-
son one of the most independent
journalists and clearest-headed think
ers of the contemporary press:
Henry Watterson seems to have
had a second thought. Mr.. Waiter
son lauds Theodore Roosevelt as few
men have ever been praised; stimu-
lates the popular preference for this
remarkable man and contributes ma
terially to the demand that he be-
come president again at the expIra-
ton of Mr. Taft's present term;
and then, as if frightened by the en-
thusiasm which he has invoked, he
tries to counterfeit it by an an appeal
to Roosevelt to be big enough not to
yield to popular clamor and to refuse
the honors which Mr. Watterson has
suggested are almost certain to be
offered him. 1t is difficult to escape
the suspicion that Colonel Henry has
repented himself of having written
SO glowing a tribute to the man oil
the hour.
Thought Distinction Was Clear.
fThe Courier Journal thought it
marked just and proper distinction
between Theodore Roosevelt, the
man, the representative American IN
Europe, and Theodore Roosevelt, the
candidate for Office, the ambitious
self-seeller proposing to play upon
and to profit by the idolatrous credu-
lily of his countrymen.
1T was our purpose to show that
his return to power in 1912 could
only mean the end of our representa-
tive government of constitutional
checks and balances; and in that con-
nection, in the character of a
purely academic inquiry in advance
of acrimonious partisan controversy
we submitted whether the people are
tired of the legal restraint and of the
old order and whether they wish to
take a short cut to the remedy for ex-
listing and admitted evils through a
benevolent despotism
In this latter event Theodore
Roosevelt seemed ready made for the
job. We ought to strip the inquiry
of perjudice either political or per-
sonal. Nor did We conceive that the
writer who has passed his life fight
ing the one-party power as next in
adherence to the one-man power,
needed to make any additional confess
sion of faith 1t went without saying,
or, it ought TO have went, as the OBJ
server says in 'Hell-for-Sartin,' that
the Courier Journal regards even the
thought of the abrogation of the third
term tradition as treason to our free
institutions"

BALLINGER SAYS
CLAWS A LIAR
sUEVE AND sELF-coNFIDENT HE
TAKES CHAIR-THEN BE-
COMES FRETFuL

Washington, d. c.. April so
Suave, self-confident and as cool GA
ice, Secretary Ballinger took the
stand yesterday in his own defense OF
the charges made against him by
former Chief Forester Ptnchot and
Chief Ranger CLAWS.
He told of his appointment to the
office of secretary of the interior de-
partment because of his success in
cleaning up" Seattle when mayor OF
that city, and repeated some CONVEX
sations. highly complimentary to him
self, which he declared he had WITH
Roosevelt when the latter was presi-
dent.
Then he entered into a general de-
NAL of the charge that he was inter
ested in Alaskan lands or in Alaskan
land claimants, or that he or his firm
had any relations whatever with
land claimants.
He had, he admitted, known mining
men in Alaska. But he never had
transacted any business for the Cum
ningham crowd or been interested.
directly or indirectly, in the affairs
Of the firm.
And he reeled off denial after deni-
al with the glibness of a trained wit
ness.
Its a wilfuI, deliberate lie," he
snapped, when Mr.. Vertrees asked as
4c +oa +,.u+b Of Clavic' ctoto,,,oD+ 70
the committee that he had discussed
Cunningham claims with BalIinger
in December, 1907. He spoke with as
surance and related several instances
in which former President Roosevelt
had indicated confidence in him.
Mr.. Ballinger still was on the sub
ject Of Alaskan coal claims when the
midday recess was taken. The ex-
animation now passes from the CLAWS
charges to Ballinger's differences with
Forester Pinchot over the reservation
to entry by him of water power sites
and his attitude toward conservation
in general.
Like a Social Affair.
A social event would hardly have
attracted a larger proportion of wom-
en- than attended the hearing yester-
day. Mrs. Ballinger was there, ac-
companied by Mrs WickersIham, wife
Of the attorney general. Mrs. Pin
chot, mother of the former forester,
and Mrs. Justice Lurton, also were
there. Not more than 100 spectators
can obtain admission and every seat
was occupied yesterday morning, with
many outside clamoring to get in.

ATTORNEY GREEN NOMI-
MATED

Cleveland, Ohio, May 23, 1910.
The Republicans of Cleveland
have adhered to their time-honored
policy of placing a colored man on
the ticket, Attorney William R.
Green was nominated Saturday. For
some time it has appeared to party
leaders an impossibility to renomi-
nate Representative Henry T. Eu-
banks. During the last session Mr..
Eubanks, with two white Cleveland
Legislators, voted for the Elson Tele-
phone Bill. While he no doubt voted
honestly, public sentiment was
against the measure. It proved to be
the death-knell of Mr.. Eubanks.
The Cleveland Journal in an edi-
torial last week withdrew support
from Mr.. Eubanks on the ground of
party expediency and recommended
the nomination of Alex H. Martin,
