A SERVICE FOR THE NATION.

IT r is becoming more and more evident in the testimony in the
BaIlinger investigation that when Mr.. CLAWS made his charges
against Balnger he performed IA gigantic service for the
nation. There is all the evidence to show that when Balhnger took
the office of secretary of the interior plans were in incubation for a
wholesale exploitation of the government coal lands and water
power sites, and that these plans would have been carried out and
the nation stripped of the most valuable of its natural wealth under
the Bauingee administration. The CLAWS charges halted the pro
ceedings already taken, notably in the matter of the fraudulent
cunningham claims" which are now revealed as having the back
ing of powerful financial interests that are said to have been in
nuentiaI in Balingers appointment. The testimony in the investi-
cation tends to show a settled purpose by Ballinger to destroy the
conservation policy, to root out its official machinery in the interior
department and let the coal lands and waterpower sites go into the
grasping hands Of private syndicates. Plausible explanations salts
fled an easyminded President, but did not convince the nation, even
with the Presidents too ready Endorsement. The sequel shows that
the popular instinct was right and the President deplorably wrong
Had the matter been settled by the Presidents action and Ballinger
left free to pursue the course he had entered upon, waterpower sites
and Alaskan coal lands. worth hundreds of millions, would now be

SHALL THE STANDARD OCTOPUS LIVE?

II y the hearing before the United States Supreme Court i'll the
appeal from the United States Circuit Court in the suit by
the government to dissolve the Standard Oil Company of New
jersey, the parent corporation, Mr.. Kellogg, the government counsel,
made the assertion that if the trust was permitted to continue for
i've or ten years longer it would control all the great industrial
interests of the country. Judging by the immense strides the
octopus has made in a few years in that direction, the statement
can readily be believed. The Standard Oil Companys control of
finances is already very great. The concern owns a string OF I'M
portant banks, and is a great power in the money market, the
greatest that has arisen in this country. 1t is a controlling factor
in vast industrial enterprises and is a dominant force in railroad
management. Ninety per cent. of the natural oil of the country is
under its control. as well as all the many byproducts of oil. The
Standard Oil Company represents a national danger that the gov
eminent has been tardy in graphing with. The United States
Supreme Court is now confronted by the greatest duty it has been
called upon t. perform in many years, and the hope of the nation
is that the court will discharge that duty well.

A STATE PURCHASING BOARD.

cTo HE measure that passed the Senate yesterday providing for
Il State board to purchase the supplies for the various State
institutions is a compromise of the proposition by the Gov
ernor for a State board of control. as the board to be constituted
will not be independent of the institutional managers, but will be
composed of representatives of the institutions. together with the
State commissioner of charities. The plan Of The bill is an expert
ment. but the principle recommended by the Governor will have
been adopted and will remain. If the board as constituted fails to
effect the desired economies and reforms, the plan of an Independent
board can be substituted. Governor Fort in his message said that
the purchase of institutional supplies in bulk and the more careful
methods that could be adopted to insure honest delivery would
effect IA saving of more than 100000 annually. AS the current ex-
penses of the institutions do not vary much each year, the actual
saving made can be ascertained by "a comparison of the annual

The Deadly Hatpin.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
All common sources of danger to the
general public come under the jurisdic-
ton of the law, and some legislation
ought to be adopted restricting the
length of hatpins worn by women. The
sudden stoppage of an elevator or a
car is liable to make a woman with
three inches OF hatpin sticking out of
her bonnet sway about, jeopardizing
yes in all directions.
The law regulates the length of knife
blade that may be safely carried and a
blade in excess is a dangerous weapon.
A woman's hatpin is a more serious
menace, and is not only dangerous to

To tine Editor Of the Evening Star:
While the subject of long-needed
trolley improvements is under discus
sion it might not be out of order to
suggest a somewhat closer observance
of the demands of traffic at other hours
than during the morning and evening
rush. From 1880 until $3.50 in the eve
ming the theatre crowds make as big
a demand upon the cars as at any time
in the course of the day, yet no extra
provision is made for this heavy travel

PARTzsANSHIP IN CHARTER-MAkING

m NEW charter for the city of Newark, drawn up ohhand by
II an outside lawyer at the order of a political partisan com
mittee in the county, would be a unique experience for New
ark. which has patiently waited for a local commission of lawyers,
selected for that purpose, to prepare the draft of a charter. The
origin of the charter bill hastily put together and introduced in
the Legislature is sufficient condemnation for the bill. 1t reveals
The objects sought. In the charter draft prepared by the commits
sion there is not a trace of political partisanship, nor could there
be under the circumstances of its preparation. Political partisan
ship is the inspiration of the legislative bill and sticks out of its
principal provisions. The attempt to forestall the commission
charter by this political managers bill is an afront TO civic senti
ment that may well be resented. Surely the citizens of Newark
ought to be left free by the county politicians TO procure a municipal
charter adapted for the cHys needs, and without the faint of parti
sanship upon il.

however, that it is unnecessary for
