BALL I NGER A MENACE.
"It becomes evident that Secretary!
Balltnger will wreck the Taft admlnis :
trxtion tf he does act change his gait
or get oul Rvery important step ta
ken by the Interior department alncel
Ballinger went Into office has had its
origin and purpose in favor for the
?mister interests that are seeking to
?else the national resource# for their
p. I rate profit.
? BaMtnger began by a secret with
drawal of a large body of lands from]
the forest reserve* and he has taken I
from the forestry service the control o
lUe wooded areas in Che Indian reser- 1
\auou* He is understood to Jsstify
this policy by a strict construction of
tt>e law. but no such explanation will
satisfy the public. ,
"The fact is that a general wide
spread distrust of Secretary BalUnger
has grown up in the short period that
he has held office. Mr. Hallinger may
be, and presumably is, an excellent
iorporation lawyer, but In public of
fice his room is better than his com
pany.
"Now Uallinger is credited with In
tent to block the accomplishment of
vooo a* yet to sa> how far this charge
>oon as yet t osa\ how tar this chars
:u*> be Justified The obstacles placed
ti> the war way be merely an example
ot blundering red tape and may b< aw
Justed or removed by some one in au
thority. but the tact remains that Bal
llAKer la under suspicion all along
the line and people are ready to
believe Ihe most injurious charges*
against him. In tine, as a cabinet
minister he has already made himself
impossible.
"We we told by some understrappv
ol the departments that the city of
San Prancisoo may not proceed under
the Garfield peru?'t to er?<ot any per
manent structures In the Hetch
Hetchy valley. As a permanent dam
to hold water ts the first essential
of the protect. this prohibition. It In
sisted on. ts equivalent to a revoca
tion of the permit. Such action woul
be inconceivable nxcept as an exhi
pition of official stupidity or a desire
cn the part of Secretary Ballinjrer to
pull chestnuts out of the fire for the
Spring Valley company. In either
case BaMiager is unfit for the place."

THE TAFT COW.
Since Mrs. Taft has bought a cow,
her husband's troubles will begin;
aew lines will crease his marble brom
his tangled locks will soon be thin.
He'U have to leave his couch at dawn,
when that fool o?w has broken loose,
aod chase her o'er the White House
lawn, to get her in the calaboose.
A?d when his friends come round and
ye?rn to hare him play at golf a whi*
he'll find it is his day to rturo, and
that will spoil his famous smile. To
mMk ? there Is no fun in that; the
job would make a hero quake; es
pecially when one is fat and fears
the dad-blnged stool wiU break. The
cow will eat the White House flowers
the morning glories on the wall, and
la the silent midnight hours she'll
have the colic In her stall, and Bill
will have to stand around when he
would like some other spot, and give
her powders by the pound, and stom
ach bitters by the quart. When milk
Is cheap she'll give a lot. but. when
the price of milk Is high, and home
made butter hits the spot, the White
House cow will then go dry. ? Walt
Mason.
Oram by McHarg. who Just handed
Ie his "rsaigrwtloa" as assistant ?eo
reUry of Commerce and Labor, was
a type of the poTTt! rlin who has done1
much to cast discredit upon the pub
He service officials of the United
States. Ormsby Mcllarg can be ctaar
?cteriied in two words. He Is a
"bad egg."
Monterey, Mexico, seems to be
playing In hard luck. About ten
days ago it was devastated by fire,
and Saturday floods partially destroy
ed the town and killed 2,000 people.
Gno generation passeth away and
another generation cometh, but the I
world abldeth forever.? Kccleslastes.

After Other Treatment Failed ?
Eczema in Raw Spot on Baby
Boy's Face Lasted for Months
Cried with Pain when Washed.
ECZEMA WAS CURED AND
HAS NEVER REAPPEARED
"Our baby boy broke out with
pcrems on his face when one month
I old. One place on the side of his face
the si*e of a nickel was raw like beef
steak for thnv months, and he would
cry out when I bathed the parts that
wvre sore and broken out. I Rave him
three months' treatment from a Rood
doctor, but at the end of that time the
child was no bet ter. Then my doctor
1 recommended Cutioura. After using
I a cake of Cutioura Soap, a thini of a
box of Cutioura Ointment, and half a
bottle of Cutioura Kcnolvent he was well
| and his face w as as smooth as any
babr's. He is now two years and a
half old and w ecwma has reappeared.
! I am still *?ing the Cutioura Soap; I
| think it is the fini^t toilet soap 1 ever
used. I keep my little girl's hair and
face cloaxwea with it too. I am so
thankful for what Cutioura has dono
for us. Mrs. M. L. Harris, R. F. I>. 1,
