m MONG the puzzling features of that part of the revelations in
Wv the Ballinger investigation which bring in the President
are two facts. There was submitted to the President by
thousand words relating to the CLAWS charges and treating of mat
tiers that We're very intricate. This matter was composed entirely
of evidence procured by Ballnger himself, and its character may
now be judged by Balinger's more recent performances. Examina-
tin of the papers thus submitted by Ballnger constitute all of
the Presidents investigation of the CLAWS charges. Now the Presi-
that that same night he sat up until 3 O'Clock looking them over.
And that was all of the investigation he gave to the case 1T
would look like a superhuman task for a nan to read over several
hundred thousand words in a single evening, weigh them carefully
and form Il just Judgment. 1t would be more difficult where the
evidence presented came wholly from one side. On the next evening,
without further investigation, the President, according to his own
statement, authorized Lawler, in Balinger's presence, to draw up a.
letter to Balinger as coming from himself, the President, exonerat
ing Ballinger, and that makes the second puzzling point in Mr..
Tafts connection with the case. If the President wanted nothing
more than a resume of the case, or a memorandum, to guide him in
writing his letter, why did he authorize Lawler to draw up a letter
as from himself, the President. Mr.. Taft cannot be called as Il
witness, and therefore there can be no answer to that question.
Still another matter brought out during the investigation was the
ante dating of the elaborate opinion to Mr.. Taft by Attorney Gen
eal Wickersham on the CLAWS charges. This written opinion was
submitted by the President to the Senate in compliance with it's
request for all the documents in the case, as a paper upon which he
had acted in generating Ballinger and dismissing CLAWS, when, in
point of fact, he did not receive the opinion until two months after
the letter to Ballnger was written. The LAWYER letter draft was
not submitted. These are facts upon which the public has a right
to pronounce its own Judgment. No amount of sophstry can eX-
plain them away. And the evasions, denials and equivocations that
have been used by administration officers in trying to suppress these
facts have only served to make them look worse.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

NV oW that it is all over and no harm is done to the earth's
AN inhabitants, no fears can be aroused and we may indulge IN
speculation on what might have happened if the worst had
come. Suppose, for example, that the comets tail, two millions
of miles in width, had been composed of deadly gases, to be absorbed
by our atmosphere! In that case all animal life would have disap
peared and earth would have swept through space hereafter I'M
tenanted, save perhaps by fish and creeping things below the soil
The monuments erected by man, the cities with their palaces and
novels. the factories, the schools and other institutions, the rail
roads and steamships, the nayies and Notifications, all would be
here; but for man and beast the world would be nothing but a
charnel-house. All the great activities of the world would have
the common level of death. Let us suppose that the earth should
be struck by the head of the comet, which has an estimated diameter
$4,000 miles larger than the earth's and is composed of solid matter.
In that case the catastrophe would be greater. At the first contact
of the comets head with the earths atmosphere a heat would be
produced to destroy everything on the earth's surface and melt the
solid rocks, and in a few seconds all that we know on earth would
be converted into gas or vapor. We wouldn't know what had struck
US. The earth would be violently detected from its course, some OF
ITS parts would probably be carried off by the comet; all life, ANNA
and vegetable, would be destroyed. But no catastrophe of the kind
has happened in the universe since the creation, as far as human
knowledge is concerned, and probably never will happen as an acct
dent in the sublime order of things in illimitab1e space, where every
planetary system has its appointed space and where their move
ments are so accurately timed that they do not vary a second.

Germany,s Commercial Growth

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Dear Sir--In a letter to the writer
from Berlin a prominent Japanese edi-
tor and author of New York says that
the United States has far more to fear
from Germany than from the Jap
anese. Not that there is any chance
of war between any of the countries
named, but in a commercial and
progressive way he writes.
The writer of the letter is now maxi
ing a tour of the world, studying COM
mercial and political conditions from
the standpoint of a Japanese for a
New York newspaper. In speaking of
Germany he says: Germany is really a
wonderful country, and / shall not be
surprised in the least should Germany
become the mistress of Europe, even
overstepping England. Everything
here is worked scientifically and sys-
tematically. inc l am convinced that
the German progress is far more sound
and cautious than that of any other
country, without excepting the United

REMEMBER THIS.

Water from the boiler should never
be used for any cooking.
Few boilers are systematically
flushed, with the result that they are
not in a cleanly condition on account
of deposits from the water. This LIQUID
would naturally affect the favor of
food n might affect it chemically
dependent on the nature of the de-
posits n concentration.
Besides this general reason there is
another objection for using such water
in preparing tea and coffee. Water
which has been heated loses air, which
produces a flat tasting beverage.

m QUESTION of veracity arises between Governor Fort and
IN Secretary of State Samuel Dickinson. The latter, in his
reply to the Governor on the subject of Auditor brakes re-
port on the motor vehicle department. makes the statement that
the Governor had forced the appointment of an automobile inspector
by the threat to withhold his approval of the salary of the voting
machine Inspector employed by Dickinson. The Governors response
to this statement is an unqualified denial. The Governor explains
that when district after district had thrown the voting machines
out he suggested that there could be nothing for the voting machine
inspector to do at that time, and for that reason he was unwilling
thereafter to pay him for services that could not be of any value
to the State. or the two statements that Of the Governor is Ger
tainly the more reasonable, apart from any comparison of the two
officials personally. Governor Fort, like the great majority of the
people in the State, has always been opposed to the voting machine,
while Dickinson was the chief instrument in fastening it upon the
State. The. Governor has in two annual messages recommended
that the voting machines be abolished, and Dickinson has been a
lobby influence for their retention. After two hundred and fifty
election districts had thrown out the machine, with the certainty
that every other district would follow suit when it was given the
chance, the objection of the Governor to take the money from the
treasury for the alleged services rendered was commendable
