BALLINGER ANO HIS ACCUSERS.
For the past three months there has
been much outspoken criticism of the
pc llcles employed by Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger. The first criticism
came from Chief Forester Pinchot,
who. before the Conservation congress
flatly accused Ballinger of attempting
to throw open for settlement certain
western lands so that certain corpor
ations might obtain the water power
sites. Mr. Pinchot had withdrawn
these lands from public settlement so
that proper safeguards could be placed
about the water power sites. These
charges were repeated before the Ir
rigation Congress at Denver.
Ballinger issued a sweeping denial
of these charges and the battle was
on. Some of the press espoused Bal
linger, but most of the independent
newspapers and publications support
ed Pinchot and an Impartial review
of the evidence seems to bear out Pin
?. hot's chief contentions.
Early in September the fight as
sumed such proportions that it could
not be ignored by the administration,
and at Denver, President Taft tried
to spread oil upon the troubled wa
tent. In the meantime Louis R. Clar
is. special agent under the Depart
ment of the interior .made public
statements that the Guggenhelms
were attempting to get control of the
Cordova coal lands by means of "dum
m- entries. Glavls practically ac
cused Balllnger of connivance with
the Guggenheim Interests.
Then It was President Taft mad.
his now famous "white wash." In
an open letter he expressed his entire
confidence in Balllnger and stated
that all that had been done had met
with his sanction. Taft did not. ap
parently, deem It advisable to criticize
plnchot, especially as the chief for
ester seemed to have the sympathy
and confidence of the people, and his
vindication of Balllnger without meet
ing the issue made by Plnchot was
adroitly done. Taft r.lso stated that
the allegations of Glavls were not
substantiated and authorized Ballings
to discharge him. Balllnger promptly
availed himself of this authority and
?, dismissed his subordinate.
plnchot, however, was not silenced.
President Elliot of the Conservation
association took up the fight and now
Glavls to back in the arena, voicing
his charges through the medium of
Collier's Weekly.
The numerous charges made against
BalVinger must by their very nature
have some foundation of fact. Calm,
dispassionate evidence seems to show
that Balllnger endeavored to expedite
the granting of patents for the Cun
ningham coal claims, the claims which
It is alleged, are being filed upon bj
Guggenheim "dummies.
The charges are too serious to be
overlooked .of too grave a nature to
he dismissed without the fullest in
vestigation. The coal claims In ques
tion are worth millions upon millions
of dollars. They represent latent re
sources which belong to the peop e.
They should not be permitted to be
come the property of a single corpora
tion. AB Secretary of the Interior.
Richard A. Balllnger Is supposed to
protect the property of the govern
,?ent-of the people. If it is shown
that he has attempted to give the
Uuggenheims control of the Alaskan
coal land, he will stand convicted of
complicity in one of the most gigan
tic steals in history.
In justice to the people-In Justice
td to the very bottom by congress.
In the meantime the Alaskan coal
laud patents should be withheld. It
is better to let the coal lands lay
Idle for some years than to reckless
ly see them gobbled up by a single
corporation, ludeed, it looks like
folly to grunt them outright to either
individual or corporation. Upon u roy
alty basis the Alaska coal mines
would pay the federal government rich
profits for years to come and some- ,
what help to decrease u tariff tax
that is becomiug more burdensome
every year.

wrestler, deserves the title if ever a

ends of the earth to find men to put

in YOUR kidneys
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles.
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or achlug back they think that
it Is ouly muscular weakness; when
urluary trouble swts in they think It
will soon correct itself. And so it
Is with all the other symptoms
Df kidney disorders. Tha' Is
where the dancer lies. You must
cure these troubles or they may lead
to diabetes or Brlght's disease. The
best remedy to use Is Doau'.s Kidney
Fills. It cures all Ills which are caus
ed by weak or diseased kidneys. Ret*
idents of this vicinity are constantly
testifying to permanent cures.
H. R. McCarver, 2t?8 Holllday St.,
Portlund, Ore., says:
"Some years ago Doan's Kidney
Pills proved of great benefit to mo
and 1 publicly recommend them.
Since that time 1 have advised many
of my fellow workmen to give them
a trial and the results of their use
have been satisfactory in every inst
ance. 1 believe kidney trouble and
backache in my cose was brought on
by a cold. 1 had always been skeptic
al regarding proprietary medicines
tut somehow what I read about
Doan's Kidney Pills Impressed me so
much that I began their use. Relief
soon followed and I have had no ser
ious return of kidney complaint
since."
