directed at CLAWS, the field officer, in
structing him to an impossible haste.
If the Cunninghams were to be tried
for fraud, the intention was evidently
to hurry it. In vain CLAWS protests
that the time is too brief for the get
ting of complete evidence, and begs
for further delay. Finally, on July IL,
CLAWS is relieved from charge OF the
case
The rest is well known. Realizing
that the department of the interior
Query: Is the authoritative head of
a business not responsible for the acts
of his employes?) was hurrying the
cases to trial before the government
could collect sufficient evidence to de-
feat the fraudulent claimants, CLAWS
asked advice of the forester. The lat
ter advised him to take the matter
direct to the president. He did so.
Taft found Ballinger not guilty of
anything illegal: CLAWS was dismissed
for characterization"
And so l think that somehow we all
keep coming back to the question
Do we always have to prove our pup
lie men guilty? Are we not justified in
drawing sober, though not legal, con-
clusions from a string of condolences,
at least as to Judgment and discre-
ton? Are we to be denied ordinary
reasoning from cause to effect because
some legalis hits us in the face with
a mot proved?
The Public Has Verdict
do not believe it. have faith that
public opinion-the real public OPINION
not the hysteria of controVersy-rule
paramount / believe that in the case
of Ballinger, as in the case of many
others. whether the verdict is guilty
or mot guilty" the final decision will
be unfit
And l sometimes wonder, in the
broader ethics of the game, whether
this is not the final test, after all.
Sometimes acts follow the law; some
times laws follow the acts-When these
acts are strong with the eternal truth
Our president has imagination; the
other has not One has breadth Of
view; the other sees only the imme-
diate present. one sees justice and
fitness and ultimate benefit to an
American race-and the minutae of the
law follow his broader interpretations;
the other holds his face close to the
minutae that exist-and other things
suffer or perish. Both types of men
are honest But we are an imagtna-
tive people. We see big things. OF
presidents we demand more than of
other men. Perhaps in the long run,
regretfully. we may be called upon, IN
the light of the higher common sense,
to render even there the final verdict
of fitness or unfitness. 1t depends.
