REAL STAND IN
B c FIGHT
He Received Permission From Sec
retary Wilson To Write Famous
Letter to Senator Dolliver
Which Led To Dismissal.
Saw More of CLAWS Evidence Than
Was Presented to Presi-
dent Taft.
BY gibson GARDNER.

WASHINGTON. u. c.. Jan. l2.--Fol
lowing a series OF personal interviews
with Clifford Pinohot. subsequent TO MS
dismissal ty Tast. can state that he
wishes the public 10 understand:
/. That there is nothing personal
in the controversy between himsei;
snd President Taft.
?. That he nas fought-and VIII
fight--for the preservation of the peo'
pies property. the power sites. forests
minerals and soils OF the piblic do
main.
3. That his removal is OF no consc-
Quence except as II affects the safe y
OF the peoples property.
4. That the real issue Is not be-.
tween himself and Ballinger. or be-
tween himself aud Taft. but IL Is be-
tween the people and the predatory
interests. Behind Bsllinger and those
who uphold Ballinger. including Can.
non. Aldrich and the rest. are tie
water power trust. the Guggenhe.ms.
the coal trust and Standard Oil ani
other enemies Of the public good.
These are the statements on which
Clifford Pinchot lays the emphasis IN
ell he saws and writes. In his Official
and unoficial utreralces they are the
statements about which all the others
group.
Pinchot has no concern with charges
OF technical violation OF discipline or
etiquet. He has declined TO join Issue
on such charges. He was removed
because he defended the public do
main. The president will take the
consequences.
President Taft's letter OF dismissal
contains statements contrary TO the
truth. Forinstance Taft said that Pin
chot had violated the executive osde-
against giving information TO men-
hers OF congress. This was the ground
Taft took to get rid OF Pinchot. The
fact OF the matter Is that Secretary
Wilson had given general permits
sion TO Pinchot TO issue such state
ments as he might desire.
Wilson knew that Pinchot was writ
ing the famous letter TO Senator Dol
liver. Pinchot therefore did not vio-
late the executive order. Wilson was
frightened when he heard how hot
Taft was over Pinchnt's truthful slaps
and the secretary Of agriculture be
came submissive to the president
angry will. and 10 save his own ofhcial
head he let Taft swing his pen and Ak
wilson's rreachery-that's all.
II Is not true tina, Clifford Pinchot
had seen only part OF the CLAWS evi'
dence: ne had seen more than Presi-
dent Taft saw.
IL is untrue that the forester
charged the president with knowingly
approving Ballinger's efror, to patent
the fraudulent Cunningham claims. lie
charged Taft only With lack OF infor-
nation.
IL is untrue that the forester was
even technically insubordinate. Bn:

AMERICAN COUNTESS
DENIES SHE EL0PED
Former Mildred Montague, OF Chatta-
nooos, Says Her Husband is
RESPONSIBLE for Story.

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. Jan IL
Mildred, Countess Pasolini. charges
that her husband is responsible Tor the
story cabled from Rome that she
eloped with a dashing young irisn-
man named Coles. The move, accord
lng to statements made by members
81 her family. is 10 discredit Coles
who will be her principal witness
when she files suit for divorce.
The Countess has hidden herself In
the innermost recesses Of the castle
ike home OF her father, Dwight Pres
ton Montague, in Chattanooga and Is
denying herself to even her most In
Innate friends. She Is escaping the
questions they would ask about her
reported eIopement.
Friends OF the family. to whom the
Countess and her father talked before
The rumors OF her elopement became
public In Chattanooga, say she has
long list of indignities charged up
against the count.
For Instance. Il Is alleged that the
count entertained an actress at his
home near Florence over the protests
II his wife, and that during the time
the actress was in the house he de-
voted the greater part OF his time TO
aer and paid practically no attention
70 his wife.
The countess has been at her faith
sr's home since early In October, when
she left her husband and came to AM
erica. Her ostensible reason for COM
Ing to Chattanooga at that time was
thar her sister, Carolyn, was 10 be
married Oct q last. to the Count Ma
sino Rasponi, cousin OF Count Paso-
iini. While Mr.. Montague entered
setrenuous objections to. the marriage
OF his daughter Mildred, he had no
such objections to that of Carolyn.
The marriage OF Mildred cost Mr..
Montaguc $4,000. the amount Of his
settlement on Count Pasolini. Friends
say the marriage OF Carolyn was a
true love match and there was no
money consideration.
@ Count Rasponi is reported TO be
wealthy.
Mr.. Montague today declined TO give
details of the secrets of his daugh-
ter's married life.
The story OF my daughters elope-
ment Is absolutely untrue." he said.
We feel that she and our entire fam
Y lly have been done great injustice
by those fuInors. but we have decided

these false charges are matters OF no
importance In me eyes OF Pincnct.
They are efforts To substitute technlcpl
for genuine issues. and TO befog the
public mind. The real issue Is the
system" against the people. The foy'
ester's fall is but one or the casual
ties in battle ,hat has been joined
all along the line.
Reluctantly il is now admitted that
Taft must be counted absolutely with
the enemies OF the Roosevelt policies.
There were hopes entertained. pei
sistently clung 10 by men like Pincho'.
that Taft was only weak and that he
was merely temporarily wrong. False
hopes.
The friends of conservation and of
the general Roosevelt policies now see
that they must fight alone. Congress
is against them. though few insur'
gents are true. The president has tied
up with Cannon and with Aldrich.
Even the bludgeon OF official patron
age has been swung TO beat out the
remnants OF the Roosevelt element.
The Republican congressional com
mittee has taken open and aggressive
measures to defeat those members OF
the party who dared vote against the
Aldrich tariff Under the rallyin2
cry OF Party solidarity" Aldrich
Cannon and Taft have taken opel
ground against the friends and the po!
icies Of the last administration.
Clifford Pinchot sinned In fostering
the conservation issue. He offended
nightly in heading of the frauds
which were stealthilv advanced by
Standard Oil and Guggenheim 10 steal
the public lands-thosc billion-doilar
coal fields IN Alaska. And his capital
offense was when he let the people
know.
Clifford Pinchot now becomes chief
accuser in the Ballinger inquiry. He
has the evidence and he has friends
who will help him get II TO the public.

Comments on the Textbook Question.

1t is too early yet to hear from
the country press on the text
book matter, and to date only the
following have been heard from
The Thibodaux Commercial
Journal says:
"A number of the committee
are so closely Unidentified with the
State Superintendent that their
decision can not have the same
weight as that of a disinterested
committee
The Shreveport Times, an ad-
miniStratiOn journal, speaks fair,
but gives the queue for the plaus-
IDLE line of defense, saying;
The question which has been
agitating the people of the State
is not so much as to the authors
of the textbooks or as to their
merit as compared with other
textbooks, but it is as to the ne
ceSSity of making so many
changes. The public school pa.
irons can readily see why the
book companies which supply
the textbooks favor these
changes. But what they do not
understand is why their own
interests do not receive more
consideration at the hands of the
school authorities. If the COM
mittee which is to investigate
this matter finds that the change
in textbooks was necessary or
even greatly to be desired, the
burden of complaint will be con-
siderably lessened."
We have it on good authority
that there was great difficulty
found by the Board in getting
any expression Of complaint or
otherwise from the teachers, who
were most in interest, concern
ing the old books. Where there
were no complaints always more
ready than praise) it is fair to
presume there was no real de.
mand for a change.
