President P. J. Martin of the Wa

The writer of the letter says that the

better employed if they were en-

Country's Verdict.

The country has condemned Ballins-
er, but the court of inquiry has not,
and in all likelihood never Will.
They are too well up in the game Of
politics to do so, If they ever intend
to, until after the fall elections.
And if the investigating committee
finally hands in its verdict exone-
rating Ballinger, the country is too
well onto the situation now to ever
feel that Pinchot lost his fight for
the people. He has already won; for
the administration is now doing the
things for which he contended, the
president having withdrawn many
millions of acres of land from public
entry during the past week in COM
pliance with the new conservation law
Mr.. Ballinger seems to think that
these Withdrawals vindicate him be-
fore the country, but it will be long
before the people forget that the law
under which the Withdrawals are now
made is but the result of the pop
ular demand upon congress which fol
lowed the sacrifice OF Pinchot.
