The Snake Killer

There was a time once when Richard Achilles Ballinger inspired the hope of a whole American people. Time was when he had been hailed aa a member of Taft's new cabinet which was to "clinch" the Roosevelt policies. But now in a letter to the President he offers his resignation and it Is accepted. There is no attempt on our part to try to hit a man who is ' down." He is not only down be is out. Hut one thins lingers. How did ho get down? livery one believes he should have been out long ago. The fact is that in the last two years the people have waked up. What might, and as a matter of fact doubtless was permissible before tho Roosevelt administration was probably not one bit worse that what Ballinger did. The Dingley tariff was doubtless so iniquitous that it took the ran -Aid rich tariff and a newly awakened consciousness by conditions to expose it. Ihandcis, the sole attorney for the people in 1SD7 was laughed out of the committee room after a five minutes hearing you remember and now

The story of the Snake Killer the Achilles with the vulnerable heel moans more than a down and out discredited cabinet officer of an equally discredited administration. It means a people awakened to what Is going on a people on tho heels of current conditions Instead of badly distanced.

Without exaggeration there is a more powerful significance to the two late occ urrences of Ballinger and Ixirimer. Collier's and the Chicago Tribune can bo taken as types the best of their type, perhaps of the function which the American free press has been called upon to assume. It Is a case of supply and demand in a way. The old Latin phrase of "Veritas Vos Liberabit." which is today the motto of the foremost exponent of research in America is only our old friend "Ye shall know the truth; and the truth shall make you free." Try as they would the thing cmld not be "white washed" and truly Ballinger was tried according to the evidence but before the bar of pubIlo opinion. The President of the United States found of a sudden that his word did not go! And Ioiik afterward the people f und w hat they expected. That the President had not read the evidence!

This fact was brought out by Brandeis. ft clinched the whole story in the minds of the people. It broke down the Taft administration. "The truth," said tho people, "is not in it." And thus the pitiful, whining. but brazen letter of William Howard Taft falls not as a change of heart not as a mistaken seeker after truth but as another "White wash." Must we review the Ballinger ease? Is It necessary to prove the President of the United States a man who cannot stick to the recorded and undisputable fact? What is it what can possess the man who can write of a "conspiracy" it is wild, unwholesome talk. No man ever had fairer treatment when he started a veritable idol of the people he had a vote of confidence. And here at the middle of his administration we find that "The truth shall make you free" has no freedom for William Howard Taft.

There are still copies (we think) of the Ballinger investigation and Its evidence. A recent American Magazine contains a synopsis of that document as a part of the work of Brandeis. If there ure enough of those who are not already familiar with this to take exception to our attitude In tho Ballinger question we shall bo glad to refer them to theso or to reprint portions But we fancy that our views are those of ninety-nine per cent, of all Americans.

WOMAN WILL GO TO LAW FOR OLD HOME Huntington, Ind., March 8. Suit may be brought to settle a dispute as to the Huntington Country club property here. A woman's longing for her old home is at the back of the affair. One year ago when the club was organized a contract for three years was entered Into whereby Mr. and Mrs. SCintsmaster gave up their country home near Mardinis, and also a large pasture field for golf links. Mrs. Zintsmaster grew homesick, and recently the couple moved back to their original quarters and announced to the Country club directors that the contract was broken", and if they were to be ousted it would have to be by law.

RABIES DORMANT IN DOG FOR 6 MONTHS York. Pa., March 8. A remarkable instance of the length of time which the germs of hydrophobia may lie dormant before acting is just now afforded in the case of a small French loodIe owned by Harry McCleary, a prominent York horseman. The dog was bitten last summer by a mad dog belonging to the Royal fire company. Other dogs bitten at the came time were killed after it was established that the Royal dog had suffered from rabies. McCIeary's animal was kept under surveillance, but had, apparently, escaped infection. When killed its jaws were already tightly locked.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

THE RAT PLAGUE. From the New York Tribune. About half a century ago Sir John Simon wrote of what we may now call the rat plague as "an almost obsolete disease." Today that dreadful malady outranks all other pestilences in virulence and destructiveness. Thas is a sufficient commentary upon the injudieiousness of too confident prediction or characterization, but it is not to be interpreted as a counsel of hopelessness. As a matter of fact the world is in much less peril from the plague today, widespread as is its prevalence, than it was fifty-odd years ago, when it has apparently almost vanished. It is because of the immense advance which has been made iu both sanitation and therapeutics, in our knowledge of the origin and nature of the plague and in our ability through that knowledge to cope with it. SOCIALIST REPUBLIC. From the New York Times. The alleged plan in Lower California to establish a socialistic republic, which, in time, is to become a state of this Union, seems a large order. It does credit to the imagination of some of its supporters. But it w ill not work. The United States does not want Lower California on those terms, if on any. We have plenty of troubles now of our very own. Our San Diego correspondent declares that the sale of arms and ammunition to these insurrectos goes on openly in that city. The followers of Leyva and Berthold are well armed, well fed and well clothed. The United States government can scarcely permit a project of this kind to thrive, especially at a time when the harrassments of the Mexican government at other points are so great. PROGRESS OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE. From the Springfield Republican. The woman suffrage hearings before various state legislatures this winter are being held under especially favor able auspices. The movement is uu-

The Lamp with Diffused Light should always be used where several people sit, because it does not strain the eyes of those sitting far from it. The Rayo Lamp Is constructed to give the maximum diffused white light. Every detail that increases its light-giving value has been included. The Rayo is a low-priced lamp. You may pay $5, $10 or even $20 for other lamps and get

mistakably gathering strength. In the Western states there have been

i several notable triumphs, and in time the East will follow the West in this matter exactly as it is following the ! West in direct primary legislation. The suffrage -hearing Wednesday before a committee of the New York legislature was the most largely attended one within the memory of the oldest equal rights campaigner; and the coming hearing on Beacon Hill promises to be no less notable. A MERITED REWARD. From the Philadelphia Press. Robert E. Peary receives, in tho measure conferring on him a rank equal to that of rear admiral, passed by congress in the closing hour of the session yesterday, a fitting and merited reward. A similar recompense and honor was given to Gen Greely for his services in the Arctic, and every English officer who has made explorations of note in the Arctic; and AntArtic has received his appropriate reward and recognition. j HE MEANT !T. ' From the Indianapolis News. ! Members of the "old guard" are nut : only surprised but amazed to find out i that President Taft actually meant i what he said about an extra session. JUDGE'S ORDER MAKES BOY A MAN Kansas City, March S. Legally, John Toman, nineteen years old, is twenty-one. Judge E. L. Fischer, of the district court of Wyandotte, Kansas, added two years to the boy's age by law in order that he might take a civil service examination. Toman is a veterinarian. He decided to seek a place in the United States department of animal industry, but on account of his being a minor was barred from the examination. The boy went before Judge Fischer, explained that he was the sole support of his mother and five children and mentioned his ambition. The rights' of majority were then conferred on him.

PRES. TAFT IS OFF With Cabinet Members Started South Wednesday.

(American Xews Service) Washington, March S. President Taft accompanied by several members j of his cabinet, is off tonight for his visit to the South. The President has been anticipating his trip with more ! than ordinary pleasure, for it will be' the first vacation he has had since the late Congress began the real Avork of the session in the early part of the winter. The objective point of the trip is Atlanta, where the President is to deliver an address before the Southern Commercial congress. Unless of-1 ficial business makes n necessary for him to return to Washington, the President will probably extend his vacation over a week or ton days. In I this event he will visit Augusta, where he has spent many enjoyable holidays in the past, and may also visit several other cities of the South.

RECLUSE LIVED IN ONE ROOM 43 YEARS Hartford, March S. For forty-threo years, Joseph Noyes, of Mansfield, who died at the age of seventy-nine, had not left his room in the home of Edgar F. Storrs. Mr. Noyes had always been regarded as eccentric, living as he did, with his books and his pipes. All his food was served to him on a tray, to be eaten as the humor pleased him. He had been ill only a day or two with a severe cold, but pneumonia set in and tho recluse was unable to withstand the attack because of his years and weakened vitality. He was wealthy and leaves no relatives. Mr. Storrs says that he does not know where he was born.
