The Inevitable End.

The Democratic House casts its shad-
ow before and Mr. Ballinger resigns IT
is well for him, for the president, for
the country and even for the Democrats.
While his retirement deprives them of
the sport of undertaking the interior de-
department, it also saves them from a
protitless distraction. They got all the
campaign material out of the case last
fall.
Presidents and princes are prone to be
over kind to their own mistakes and Mr..
Taft spares himself most generously in
his letter accepting this resignation by
heaping all the blame on the press. If.
however. he were sitting as an impair
tial Judge IN the matter. he would not
90 so far afed from the White House
in bestowing his eensure.
The president was innocently mistak-
en- in his choice of Mr.. Ballinger for the
interior department, the latter having
had no Identification with the great ma
tional policy Of conservation and having
had, on the contrary, connections which
were inimical to it, This necessarily
brought the now secretary under suspi-

said is that his subsequent official bear
ing and action heightened if they did
justify that suspicion.
Mr. Taft, however. after the manner
of presidents, Rugged his bad bargain all
the tighter and stubbornly chung to a
secretary who lacked the confidence OF
the country and whose continuance in
the cabinet was a detriment not only to
the goverrSoent and the Republican par
ty, but rs well to his chief and himself.
II is too bad he could not at the outset
have been switched off to st. Petersburg
or some equally remote post, loaded
down with ambassadorial honors.
The end was inevitable, prolong the
agony as the president would. Unfortu
uately il has been delayed until Mr..
Taft and his party have suffered the
maximum penalty and Mr. Ballinger had
"lost health, been burdened financial
IL" and is overwhelmed in what the
president describes as "a cruel tragedy
II is indeed a pathetic spectacle and one
for which all fair critics of the secretary
viii regret was not averted by more pru-
dent c0unsels. May he find health and
peace in his retirement.-Boston Globe.

"Yesn and aNop Votes.

Some of our friends still persist in
adding together the vote for no-Hcense
in the BAG towns in the state, com
pairing it with the total vote of the
same towns for license, and then pro-
claiming that the contrast shows an
overwhelming vote against the present
law 1t is strange how long it takes
some people to understand the local OPP
ton principle to appreciate the fact
that the annual vote under the present
law is 246 separate tests OF local pl.Jlic
sentiment about local conditions in 246
towns and is not an expression OF public
sentiment upon a statewide issue or
general principle Many man that
votes mo" because be lives III small
town would vote Yes" Il he lived IN d
larger one Many man that votes
Yes in a large town would vote No"
if he lived in smaller one. There il
no conceivable way iii which these fg-
ures Of the ives" and mo" votes in the
246 towns can be reduced To q common
and. because Of that. the

THE LoRndER VOTE AFTERMATH.

THE LoRIMER VOTE AFTERMATH.
II the forty-six United States sem
ators who voted against the resolution
to unseat Senator Lorimer might have
had the benefit of the volume OF pro-
tests now being sent out from Illinois,
perhaps they probably would have voted
differently, Aside from the resolutions
OF condemnation being passed by various
assemblies, there come individual pro
tests. Of these latter we pick one from
ia Chicago woman to the Springfield,
Mass, Republican as a protest against
Senator Cranes action in voting for
Lorimer. This woman writes; Lori
mer is discredited man and can never
have any standing here in Illinois except
with the crooks and politicians, even if
the United States Senate does consider
him the peer OF any senator Allowing
something for the yelled thrust at the
proLorimer senators, contained in the
last few words OF the woman's protest,
the statement seems to coincide with
the general tone of the dispatches which
have been pouring out Of Illinois ever
since the action of the Senate. Then,
to heighten the effect of her statement,
this Chicago woman declares that "Ev-
erybody here is up in arms against Mr.,
Cullom, hating him for his cowardice
and despising him. Poor old Senator
Cullom Impaled on two horns Of a.
dilemma, whether to vote to Gust his
discredited colleague OF to be a good
fellow and keep friends with Lorimer,
he chose the latter; and now he is
being scored in manner which his age
and his service do not deserve Senator
Cullom's services to the nation and to
the state Of Illinois are too important
TO allow his later career to be clouded
by this unfortunate vote, and the poor
old man ought to be allowed to go in
peace It is the charitable act to over
look the mistake-for mistake it must
appear to Senator Cullom.

Wouldn't it be good plan for the
state highway commissioner, in arrang-
ing his annual spring series Of good
road conferences to occasionally vary
the program by holding the conferences
in new places in the counties? For in
stance, holding the Washington county
conference in any one of three other
places besides Montpelier, in Mortified,
Waterbury or Barre? Possibly it may
be easier for majority of the road
commissioners of the twenty towns Of
the county to reach Montpelier than
any of the other places mentioned but,
in awakening interest in the good roads
movement, much might perhaps be gained
by changing the place of meeting now
and then, inasmuch as wider portion
OF the general public would be reached
through the occasional change Other
counties in the state might welcome a
similar change now and then, although
the logical place OF meeting might be
that which was selected by the commits
sioner.

President Taft found his Congress in
this reciprocity issue. Indeed, the Ca
madam premier's personality dominates
the Canadian people in all matters much
more strongly than is allowed a leader
in the United States. For that reason,
Canada may agree at once to the reci-
procity agreement with the United
States; and it would be considered much
of a personal triumph for Laurier.

Poor But Greot

1T is announced that the late JUS
t'ce Harlan died comparatively poor
man. This was to have been expected
Harlan's active career was absorbed
10y demands of public oilice-his most
fruitful years having been given to
the judicial calling. How then could
lie have well amasscd Il handsome for
tune provided he was honest in
heart and diligent in service? The
proviso is of course worth noting.
Although it may he of no especial
credit to one situated as Harlan had
been that he left a mcager estate, vet
the fact serv es TO the more clearly re
call the fine strain Of purity that
pormeatcd his entire moral structure.
As with Virginia's lamented John
Warwick Daniel, the lack of worldly
fortune after long decades of earnest
conservation to public duties speaks
eloquently of Harlan, now that he is
dead. But IL also suggests the thou
ght that the Justices Of the Supreme
Court are but lily paid Residence in
Washington and the maintenance of
"a manner of living COMFORTING with
the dignity of their station, just about
absorbs every dollar of income that
are paid these men who constitute the
highest judicial tribune on earth.
This ought not to be- 1t ought not to
be so that the only great lawyers who
can really afford to accept place on
the Supreme Court, are those POSSESS
ed of independent fortunes. Surely
the compensation FOR the position
should be sufficient to enable the just
ices to accumulate at least n mode
rate estate for their families. -Lyn-
