A Republican Crisis.


Western voters will be glad to know
that President Taft and his advisers
have decided that the Republican
party must stand or fall In the COM
ing Congressional election according
as 1t has fulfilled the pledges made in
the presidential campaign by eaacting
them into law.
Notwithstanding the presidents ap.
proval of Senator Aldrich and the All.
drich-Taft tariff. the western mind is
satisfied that the pledge which brought
Judge Taft most Of his western vote
was not fulfilled by that tariff.
The insurgency Of western con-
gressmen against the Aldrich tarif.
bill was inspired by the attitude OF
western voters, who voted for: Mr..
Taft because he had promised them
tariff reduction, but who will vote
against his candidates for congress
this fall because the promise has not
been carried out.
I President Tafts action in withhold
ing patronage from congressman who
refuse to betray. their constituents and
accept the yoke of eastern mill bosses
and captains Of finance makes the is
sue strikingly clear. The revolt of
western voters against Aldrichism and
all that 1t signifies will surprise him,
but he can blame no one but those
whose advice has blinded him to facts
and whose anxiety to serve the eastern
trusts exceeds their regard for Mr..
Taft or the Republican party

The MIDDLE al washington,

We do not believe with members OF
the Cabinet at Washington that there
was anything in the dignity of the
President which made intolerable the
continuance of Clifford Pinchot in the
Office OF chief forester until the con.
gressional investigation of his and Sec
rotary Ballinger's case had determined
the facts. = The investigation
will be the basis Of the judgment which
the people of the country will reach;
which will decide for the public wheth-
err the discharged official was justified
in his course or not. Mr.. Taft has
acted as an administrative officer
would act were he not taking into
consideration the force of public opin.
ion which, whether misled or not, is
always the all powerful element in
American national life. Chicago Trib-
une (Rep.).

The ca.t,ns out Of p,ncAot

The Casting Out OF PlnchOf.
President Taft will. find 1t difficult
to convince the American public that
dismissal of Clifford Pinchot was for
the public good and not for the benefit
of lumber pirates, mining magnates
and land thieves, from whom the pub
lie believes Mr. Plnchot has earnestly
;striven to protect the public. domain.
Since Mr.. Pinchot took up the work
of the national forestry commission, in
1896, and established forestry in the
Adirondack mountains, he has been
devoted to the preservation of natural
resources.
For twelve years he has been head
Of the forestry service, fighting the
money interests. preventing them from
stealing public property and mourning
their deadly enmity. The interests
have used every effort. to secure Mr..
| Pinchot's dismissal, bringing strong
political influence to- bear. bribing

For GOOD Cottage cheese.

In making cottage cheese skim milk
is allowed to sour, and the curd is
then broken up and held at a tempera-
ture Of about 100 degrees for three to
four hours, or until 1t has become suf-
sficiently firm. The whey is then
drained on and the curd placed under
slight pressure for time. The curd
is either consumed Immediately or is
packed in tubs and placed in cold
storage. It lis prepared for eating by
moistening with either milk or cream
Sometimes 1t is made up into schapes
and wrapped in tin foil. No ripening
is ever allowed.

Corn withoat a Cob.

And now 1t Is an Illinois farmer who
presents the country with an almost
scobless corn. Perhaps the time is
coming when the diner munching corn
will not have to wrestle with the cob;
and rising generations will bless the
man who eliminated It. The new corn
Is described as having each kernel
growing on the parent stem instead
Of adhering to cob. The Illinois
grower says that he eliminated the
cob by taking the tip Of each ear
and getting only the very top kernels.
and shortly expects to evolve per.
fectly cobless corn. The agricultural
