TAFT ON‘BALLINGER. - In his violent denunciation of those who-were brave enough to question the integrity of Richard Achilles Ballinger, - President - Taft -again- de- monstrates that he is honest, but not much of-a-politician. The president must know that the sympathies-of the public ‘largely are Wwith Pinchot and the - things for which he stands as-against Ballinger and Ballingerism, but the president was convinced that Ballinger has been falsely accused and he stands in his friendship and .complete en- dorsement of Richard Archilles as immavable as the rock of -Gibraltar. It is hard for persons who have THE BEMIDI DAILY PIONEER carefully followed the Ballinger-Pin- chot controversy to understand how the president can continue to trust so completely a man who so many ‘times has had the finger of suspicion pointedat him and, judlns by ‘the proof presented, with some founda- tion. Collier's Weekly once said: “If Ballinger ever adopts a coat of arms it should be a white wash brush.” This terse staitement better than anything else typifies the career of the ' retiring secretary of the inter- ior. He ' has been the subject of more accusations and investigtions than-even-the fertile Minnesota legis- lature has produced. His alleged improprieties in con- nection with the Alaskian coal lands were so glaring as to attract the at- tention of subordinate employes who, when-they presented testimony, were promptly discharged for insubordina- {tion. That Ballinger - was - not all | that he should have been was proven to “the -satisfaction of several mem- Ebers- of the'congressional investigat- |ing committee, the chairman of which=—our own illustrious senator, Knute Nelson—was notoriously pre- judiced against Pinchot. However, Ballinger has done what he should have done a long time ago, resigned, and is no longer a public nuisanee. President Taft, by signalizing Mr. Ballinger's departure with a lengthy “vindication” in strongest: language, at least con- vinces the people that he is a brave president, even if he isn’t one that endears himself to the voters; and {after.all it is the voters who are to Lo R R R R R R R CRCRCR Y ¢ WHAT OTHER PAPERSSAY © AR A A G R A AR RCECRCRORORORC What-McKinley Asked For.

Life In the lcy Arctic. In the morning I was generally the one to waken first and would either start_the alcohol lamp myself or call Astrup for that purpose. Our morning meal consisted of a lump of pemmi- can, six biscuits, two ounces of butter and two cups of tea each. As soon as this was finished everything was re- packed on the sledge. I then read the odometer, aneroid and thermometer and, taking the guidon, which had waved -and’ fluttered -over the kitchen throughout our hours of rest, from its place, stepped forward and the next march was commenced. After from four to six -hours -of marching we would halt for half an hour to eat our slmple lunch of pemmican and give the dogs a rest and then after four to six hours of traveling halt again and| repeat the already described route.— Robert' E. Peary, “The Great White Journey.” Got Rid of the Scum. She was a clty bride who had never before taken a hand-in housekeeping and knew but little about.things. in the kitchen. A few mornings ago she got after the milkman, “What'’s the matter with your milk?” she said, with great vehemence. “I don’t know,” he replied. “What do you find-wrong with it?” “Well,” she said, “every morning it 18 covered with a nasty yellow scum.” “And what do you do with the scum ?” “Why, I skim 1t off, of course, and throw it in the garbage can.”—Farm- ers’ Guide: Sacrificing the Woman. That Carlyle could contempiate with equanimity being unpraised, unmoney- ed and neglected all his life, that he required neither the world’s pudding nor its breath and could be happy|3 without them, was pardonable and per- haps::commendable. That he should expect another -person to share this unmoneyed; - puddingless 'and - rather | forlorn condition was -scarcely con- #istent with such lofty principles.

How People .Di It is estimated that the average duration of human life is thirty-three years. A quarter of the people die dur- ing the seventh year and half before the seventeenth. Of every 1.000 per- #ons one only reaches 100 years, six in 100 get to 65 and one in 500 to 80. It Is ‘further estimated that throughout the world’50,000,000 die annually, 138.- 000 a day, nearly 6,000 an hour, 90 a minute, or three in every two seconds.

There was,.and indeed is. for instance, .that Irish belief in the web as: a .remedy for cuts, warts and bruises and that superstitition of the eastern counties which credited it with power to cure fevers. The weaver of the web, too, was looked upon as a doctor of medicine. A note from an ancient Notes and Queries gives the illustration. - “One of my parishioners suffering from ague,” wrote a Somerset vicar, “‘was. advised to catch a large spider. and shut him up in a box.

How Gold Plate Is Made. Talking or silver “gilt plate, it is often spoken :of as gold plate. One I'hears of the gold service at Windsor ‘castle; of the gold plate owned by sov- ereigns of Europe and by other per- sons in this country as well as abroad: As a matter of fact, these so cailed gold services are silver gilt, and only a few: pieces of pure gold are owned by the English crown or any other crown. It may interest our readers to learn how this fire, mercurial or water gilding—for it is known by all of these three names—is done. Pure gold and mercury are mixed into a paste. The silver :article to be gilded has been | chemically cleaned, is rubbed all over with this paste, which has been placed in a silk bag, just as the blue used in washing is put in'a bag.
