 Since the President has relied upon the suggestions and advice of men unpopular with the people, and has rejected the advice and counsel of Republicans popular with the people the President should not be surprised that his administration is failing to please the people.
 Progressives Disappointed.
 When President Taft was consider ing who he would appoint to the Supreme bench he gave the progres- sive Republicans list of men and asked them to investigate their rec. ords and define what their attitude would be if he should nominate them This the prOgresSiveS did, reporting in favor of some and against others Imagine their surprise when the President announced his selections and it was found that neither of the two men appointed was included ir any list which had been submitted 10 them.
 Ballinger Should Resign.
 Are the services of Richard A Ballinger as secretary of the Interior department worth the price the Taf, administration is paying in keep him in office? This is a question tha, many Republicans are. considering Despite the "vindication" of MT. Bal finger by a partisan majority of the Congressional Investigating commit tee, the fact remains that the evi- dence dfscredited him as public servant Even the Republicans feel that he has lost the confidence of the people and that his resignation would lift load from the Taft administra. ton.

practically all of his estate of $4,000
to his widow, Mrs. Eurietta Croft,
was dated February %, 1910. His SIS

some of the dead mans property

large transactions-was not named IN

properly should be valued at $lOO'OOo
instead of $4,000.
They later withdrew their contest

ITS TROUBLES WITH COOKS
Servant Problem Causes Appeal
to Civil Service Commission

In response to a request from Gen
A. r. Chaffee, the civil service com
mission has exempted the position OF
adueduct mess inspector from civil
service requirements.
In his letter to the civil service COM
mission General Chaffee stated that
the board of public works considered
it advisable to appoint an inspector
of the Desmond messes so as TO IN
sure gool food o the workmen at all
times. He said that to fill the posi-
ton would require man of much tact
and iud1ment, as he would have to
deal with cooks and walters of vary
ing temperaments, who are not to be
offended by harsh criticism but en-
courageu by kind words.
As no civil service examination couIu
be given that would bring out these
qualifications it was thought best to
have the man selected by the board

Judge Monroe of the superior court
yesterday dissolved the temporary in

The measure was declared unconst-

that the monopoly was illegal and to
his detriment, as he was partner to
various contracts by which he col
lected garbage from restaurants and
fed it to his hogs on a ranch in Pasa-
dena township.
Although Judge Monroe dissolved the
injunction he permitted the losing fac
ton to amend it's complaint so as -
