Senator L. A. Simpson, says the Mott
Pioneer, has not as yet announced his
candidacy for Congress, but may soon.
There are many admirers of the Dickin-
son statesman who are anxiously wait
ing for him to get into the game in
this district. The Senator possesses so
many admirable qualifications it seems
in reality a loss to the public that his
ability cannot be utilized in the inter-
est of the people of the Slope country.

ALASKA SAVED FOR THE PEOPLE.

NV @ act of the Taft administration injured the once great prestige
I'M of President Taft as much as his appointment of Richard
w. Ballinger as secretary of the interior and the support
that he gave to a man whose whole course in Office was marked
by a purpose to hand over to a powerful financial group in New
York the enormous resources of Alaska belonging to the American
people. With President Tafts consent, and even with his aid, that
purpose would have been contaminated. Most fortunately for the
nation, when Ballnger was made secretary the land office and
forestry department were under the charge of competent and
patriotic men and they resented the first move by Ballnger to
ALLEVIATE from government control the mineral wealth of Alaska and
the valuable water power sites on the government lands in the
West. They exposed the Ballinger hand. Mr.. Taft dismissed them
and gave official approval to Ballinger. But Clifford Pinchot was
not the man to be silenced, and Congress took up the matter. An
investigation was forced. The committee was packed, but the
facts came out, nevertheless. Did the Taft administration aid this
investigation? The record shows that it employed art and subter
fuge to defeat its object. While it was in progress Mr. Taft had
BalHnger for a confidential adviser-so confidential that he signed
as his personal letter a letter of dismissal of CLAWS, secretly com
posed for him by Ballingers attorney. The facts of the investiga-
ton were so plain that Ballingers friends did not dare submit a
committee report to Congress in the hope of a formal vindicaton.
But when Ballinger finally found it necessary to resign he took
with him the benisons of Mr.. Taft, who could see no iniquity in
an attempted betrayal of the nation. Public sentiment dictated the
appointment of Ballngers successor and. the retirement of Bal
Hngers principal agents in the interior department, and the de-
partmental decision which now forbids the gigantic steal of Alaskan
coal lands by the GuggenheimM Morgan syndicate is the happy result.
How much credit Mr.. Taft can be given for that decision need not
be asked. If there had been no Clifford Pinchot Alaska's untold
riches would belong to the syndicate and not to the American
people.

AND MRS. TAFT GIVEN
HISTORIC SATIN SLIPPER.

LANCASTER, Mass, June 27.-The
Massachusetts, blue satin slipper pre-
scented to President Taft by the Misses
Forbush. of this town, on the occasion
of the twenty-ifth anniversary of the
marriage of President and Mrs. Taft,
has an interesting history.
The donors. Miss Harriet w. For
bush and Miss Caroline L. Forbush, are
daughters of Jonathan Forbush, of Boil
ton. They received the slipper from
their mother, who was a sister of Mrs.
Torrey. the Presidents grandmother.
The first owner of the slipper was
Mrs. Jonathan Holman, wife of Colo
mel Holman, of Sutton, who was an
officer in the Revolutionary War. Mrs.
Holman was the great-great-grand-
mother of the President and great
grandmother of the Misses Forbush.
Her marriage to Colonel Holman took
place about 1887, and the slipper. which
was imported from Europe, was pur-
chased about that time.

ROCKLAND. Me-. June 27.-In max

course off here for Standardization pur-
poses yesterday, the battleship Utah,
which is completed and ready to join
the feet of American dreadnaughts,
made one run at the rate of q. 637 knots

POTS knots an hour. The big warship
was given five run at top speed, dur
ing which her average was 21.2Ss knots
an hour.
The battleship's engines developed
2S, 477-horsepower. and a trial of her
displacement showed figures of 21.247
tons. An anchoring test was given and
1t proved successful. Today the Utah
will make a four-hour run on her con-
tract speed of 2O.75 knots and after
ward a 'two-hour run al the same speed
during which both coal and oil will be

POLITICS THE YEAR ROUND.
tn OLITICS, spring, summer and fall, and perhaps in the winter

TINT the State will have TO get used to. In past years

I'D OLITICS, spring, summer and fall, and perhaps In the WINTER
liz too, although only in spots at times, is a new experience
that the State will have to get used to. In past years 1t
was hard to get voters out to the primaries, while it took much
campaign drumming, combined with the effects of party commit
tees and ward workers, to bring out in State and local elections
q good percentage of the vote cast in presidential elections. AS
for special elections, the entire vote seldom exceeded 10 per cent.
of the normal vote. Perhaps the cause for this indifference OF the
electorate was misinterpreted. Instead of having too much politics
,and elections formerly, we had too few. Obviously, the remedy was
more politics and additional elections. The interest of the cleo
torate was not sustained under the old order of things. There was
too long a period between campaigns. Politics must be perennial
in order to prevent lapses of interest. With the referendum in full
play and politics and elections going on all the time, even the most
sluggish voter will be kept up to the scratch. No sooner will he
be put out of one campaign before he is embarked in another. No
sooner is one issue settled than others will arise, But what a
training and education it will be, withal, for the people in state
craft and legislation! And after women are admitted to the cleo
torate what an experience it will be for them! We shall then have
more stateswomen than cooks, and something will have to be done
for public care of the children while their mothers and fathers
are out electioneering or drafting laws or attending to other i'm
portant public duties.

BREAKING UP OF THE PARTY.

oCVAN HAT we are witnessing now is the breaking up II the
WV old Republican party" says State Assessor George
L. Record in the Jersey Journal. "The difference be-
tween the leaders and it's factions cannot be bridged over. The
parallel is the condition of the Wing party when confronted with
the slavery question, upon which its leaders could not agree" There
are many thoughtful Republicans who take the same view. 1t
would puzzle the average Republican to say what principle the
party stands for, other than the protective tariff, which has been
SO frightfully abused that it has brought a crisis upon the nation.
Under cover of the protective principle all kinds of parasites
fastened upon the government, to exploit the peoples substance,
and they took possession of the Republican party organization and
controlled Congress and national administrations. The issues of
the Civil Car, which gave vitality to the party, have long disap-
peared. The "bloody shirt has been washed clean. The negro
question is now purely a Southern social question. The currency
question has become nonpartisan. There is the old issue, as old as
the government, between free trade and tariff, but it has no meaning
in our day. for free trade would be an im%possibility for a country
like Ours, with it's vast annual expenditures. What, then, is left
when a Republican President denounces the "Chinese wall" of the
tariff and when some of the ablest and best of the Republicans in
Congress are eager to break down the Chinese wall and make
"ducks and brakes of all the constructive tariff work that Repub-
lican legislation has done in the last forty years?

what 1. Library. Incomef

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
In a recent issue OF the Evening
STAR 1 saw a letter which interested
me very much and pertained to a matter
on which 1 have long sought informa-
ton without success. The topic of the
letter was How much is the yearly
income of the Public Library from the
books let out at one cent a day."
The answer would make '7terestins

Der of my acquaintances who frequent
the library are watching for 1t. The
question of whether or not 1t is just to

pears to be an open one. Some say the
charge Is made so that the new books,
which are wanted by all, will be speed

On the other hand, it is argued that
the citizens are sufficiently taxed for
the support of the library without add

Can't Dodge Creditors.

To the Editor of the Evening star:
That Plainf1eld man who has just
written a book on the cheerful subject
of How to Dodge the Undertaken
would do something of real practical
value If he should teach suffering man
kind how to dodge creditors, how to
dodge old Father Time, or even how TO
dodge the festive "skeeter.9 There are
hundreds of other things that poor man
should b. taught to dodge besides the
undertaken, who will get there just
the same" as the boys say.
The P~lainfield man, however, should
bear in mind n thing, and that s
that he Is trying, theoretically at least.
to deprive a most worthy body of our
fellow citizens of their livelihood.
Should he succeed in inducing every
body to dodge the undertaken that
worthy individual will find his occupa-
ton gone. And, furthermore, how about
the coach drivers, those gentlemen with
the ancient, battered plugs upon
their heads, 30 frequently seen driving
equally ancient, battered "plugs?"
They, too. would find heir occupation
gone. Ditto, the cemeteries and Gre
matories. Ditto, etc, etc.
In closing, 1 would suggest that the
matter be brought to the attention OF
the State organization of gentlemen
most interested and let them deal VITA
the Plainf1eld man, who lodges a most
vital point by calling them under
takers" instead of funeral directors
or "mortuarians.' @. C. B.
