Ballineer Comes Back at 'Em

In an address delivered at Will
Jamestown, Mass, last Saturday Sec
retary Ballinger poured few hot
shots into the Pinchot army on its
own battle ground as follows:
when the officer becomes wiser
than the law, the law should remove
him for its ow protection"
This was the declaration made
by Secretary Of the Interior Ballinger
In n speech made before the Good
Government club of Williams col
lege, which was apparently an attack
on Clifford Pinchot, who was recntly
removed as chief forester Of the
United States.
Although not mentioning Pinchot
by name, Secretary Ballinger's
speech was full Of peppery illusions
to the policies pursued by the former
forester and his spirit of the law"
doctrine.
This was the secretary's answer to
the charges made against his ad-
ministration OF the interior depart
ment and his conception of that
branch Of the government in conserv-
ing the natural resources Of the
country.
ut is elemental under our republi-
can form OF government" he said,
"that public officers govern only with
the consent Of the governed. This
consent is expressed through the
constitution and the laws made In
pursuance thereof, and 1 wish to say
that the stability OF our institutions
is wholly dependent upon our firm
adherence to this principle.
1.-THE founders of our government
realized that men love power; that
they will generally exercise 1t when
they can get it and abuse it, under
declaration Of lofty patriotism, to
disguise the assumption.
"When this seductive method Of
exercising power falls into the hands
Of clever politicians, unthinking peo-
pie flock to their standards with the
''muck rakers" and "penny-liners"
~ their press support. Those who
do not become hysterical over their
tales Of dire calamity and calmly ask
for facts are charged with being In
league with or accomplices OF these
Imaginary criminals.
1.-THE most vicious demagogue is he
who sounds . false alarm which
'Aro0sse preiudlces that strike At the
foundations Of our government, that
disturb the public mind rs to the
necessity for observance Of the laws
Of the land. Some public officers
make the mistake Of assuming they
have been commissioned by higher
authority than the people, that Is the
reason they are not fit to govern"
