sentiment that had been behind the
interior department chief.
The career OF the man who is the
storm center of a tempest that CON
sress will attempt to clear is like that
of many Americans, who by their own
endeavor have risen from obscurity
and common place position TO offices
Of credit and honor.
Richard Achilles Ballinger was born
in 1855 at Boonesboro, Iowa His
father, a Kentuckian, had studied law
in Abraham Lincoln's office at Spring
field Illinois. The father. naturally.
was an ardent abolitionist during the
stormy days leading up to the civil
war.
Ballinger. Sr., served through the
war and was promoted for signal
bravery on the battlefield. When the
war was over, Ballingers father was
mustered out a colonel. He was ap-
pointed postmaster at Virdon, H., by
president Grant.
In 1868 the family moved 10 Larned
Kan. where young Ballinger was in
the saddle and on the range good
portion of the time, his father being
engaged in the cattle business.
Having digested Kansas common
school education, young BallinSer at
tended the State University at Lawr-
ence and later went to Washburn col
lege at Topeka. 1t was while pursuing
| his studies there that Mr.. Balllnger
met United States Senator Ingalls,. OF
| Kansas who urged him TO attend VII.
| liams college in Massachusetts. He
| followed the advice of his patron and
graduated ut Williams in the class OF
1854
! The law appealed to young Balm
ger. and Immediately after graduation
ne went to Chicago, where he entered
the law office of S. Corning Judd. In
1886 he was admitted to the bar and
moved to kankakee. ILL.,. where he
hung out his shingle.
Subsequently he was appointed city
attorney of kankakee. and after serv
ing one term. ne moved to New Deca
tur. Ala. where he was appointed to
similar position. One term in office
there, and young Ballinger was on the
move again. That time he moved tc
Port Townsend, Wash, arriving there
during the winter of 1889

ried at Lee, Mass, Miss Julia A. Brad

Washington, Jan. I.-During the ad-
ministratiOn Of Presidents Mckinley
and Roosevelt. it was an easy matter
for the visitor in the senate gallery to
pick out the mouth piece" of the pres
ident on the floor.
Not so now. The late Senator Han
ma voiced the wishes and sentiments OF
Mckinley while Senator Lodge did
like service <r former President
Roosevelt. Sometimes Senator Bever-
idge played the role of spok esman for
the administration. but this was usual
| ly when Senator Lodge was out of the
| chamber.
In these early days of the Taft re-
gime. the occasion has not arisen when
| it can be said that this or that senator
| is speaking for the president. The
nearest approach to being the presi-
dents mouthpiece is the suave Rhode
| Island boss, Aldrici. He comes near
er to filling the position than any other
member of the senate.
Sometimes Senator Root of New
York is looked upon as speaking for
the administration as was noticeable
! last summer when the corporation tax
amendment was under consideration
but aside from Mr.. Aldrich, no senator
| is really classed as Taft's mouthpiece.
and he is not considered as a fixture in
that role.
This changed condition in the senate
is most pronounced. 1t tells on Mr..
Lodge, who since he lost the eminence
of presidential spokesman, has gone
about the chamber in a listless sort of
way. giving the impression that he
has forgotten something and can not
remember just wha, it is.
The proceedings no longer have the
fire that once commanded his close at
tention. He does not keep his ear
keyed for criticisms of the president
for the administration, he misses the
call to rally to the defense of the pres
ident against an attack of some demo
crat or progressive republican senator
who is on the presidents double cross
list.
/ 1t is evident that the Senior Bay sen
ator longs for return of his former
chief now in Africa, and the days
when he smiled with the knowledge
that the crowds in the galleries had
their eyes on the senator who speaks
for the president.
1t will not be many weeks. however
until some one will come to the front
in a more pronounced fashion than has
Senator Aldrich. as the keeper of the
presidents policies. Just who the
statesman will be is hard to tell: he i:
expected to become a recognized fac
tor just about the time the senate get:
busy with the Ballinger investigation
and when the amendments to the In
terstate Commerce law are under way
Comment has been caused by tht
fact that Roosevelt and Taft both hac
as their spokesmen senators from 9th
er states than their own.

foreign affairs do not believe that tn,

not regarded seriously by members of
the foreign affairs committee. When
the people of Franco and Germany, say
members of the committee, understand
that the president has nothing to do
but enforce the new tariff rates, and
that he cannot give any country pref
erence, they will get busy with their
legislatures and protest against in
creasing taxes on American products
1t was pointed out by several men,
bers of the foreign affairs committee
that there has been on the statute
books since August 80, 1890, an act
that gives the president all the power
needed to exclude from the United
States any and ali articles of importa-
ton from any country that discrimi-
mates against any American product.
This power has Fever been enforced
and in the opinion of congressman it
never will be applied NOTWITHSTANDING
that some countries do discriminate
against certain Ar ercan products.

From the Washington Star.
Nh Hearst is entitled to the control
of the Independence League and
should he run for governor of New
York next year as its candidate, the
race will be one of national and alb

side there is some talk of Mr.. Roose-
welt. although Gov. Hughes would
again make very strong candidate.
On the democratic side the situation is
as yet shapeless. With Leader Muir
