THE INDICTMENT INVOLVES TWO The indictment of Pinchot against Ballinger is straightforward—it in- dlets; and no intelligent reader can deny that it reads like a true bill, it does not look as If the alleged of- fending secretary had a hole left to escape through. There is no appegl from documentary evidence. This is what Mr. Pinchot unqualifiedly charges: Mr. Pinchat deliberataly charges Ballinger with having entered the of- fice of the secr¥tary of the interior with the purpose %6 Tetray his trust and that aocused of misconduct he undertook to falsify the record; that his charges are borne out by docu- mentary evidence and that by the time the story has been told of Ballinger's conduct the committee “will realize that the interests of the people are not safe in Mr. Ballinger’s hands and that the country will demand of this com- mittee a verdict in harmony with the zeneral gonviction that the secretary of the iInterfor has been unfaithful both to the public, whose property he has endangered, and to the president, +whom he has deceived.” We have Secretary Ballinzer's denial and he has the presumptive evidence of innocence in his favor since the administration claims to have given jts attention to the case and decided to give him its support. If what Pinchot says is true, Ballin- ger has got to go, for the people will demand it; and the friends of Pinchot point out that Attorney General Wickersham, who urged Glavis’ dis- missal after he examined the record, must go too, as an enemy of the peo- ple’s interest. May the right prevail regardless of consequences, is the peo- ple’'s wish. NEW ENGLAND'S DROWNED. The report of the TUnited States volunteer life saving corps shows that during the bathing season of 1909 the drownings in New England averaged over four a day, totalling 604, of whom a large per, cent, were under 21 years of age, To be exact, 272 were chil- dren. The statistics are as follows: Connecticut lost 93 by drowning, fncluding 42 children. Maine figures show 82 drownings, 30 being children, but this is Believed to be under the actual total by a considerable num- ‘ber; Massachusetts had 288, of whom 119 were uder 21; Rhode Island comes next with 65, of which 25 were chil- dren; New Hampshire with 48, and Vermont with 47, the children’s total being 13 and 14, respectively. During June, July and August, there were 505 drownings, or 31 a week for 18 weeks. Considering what an easy eccomplishment swimming is, New Englanders oughteto be ashamed of such a record as this. It is needless waste of life and like the excessive losses by fire is largely chargeable to heedlessness and ignorance. WHAT DRUNKENNESS COSTS THE STATE. When we see the jags in the street we are not good thinkers enough to behold more than the fool, for our perception does not cover the misery it all, or the expense to the tax- yers. Judge Warner of Putnam, who as a student of criminal statistics and as a judge Is qualified to cover the| entire fleld, does not hesitate to de- clare that the expense of the present law to the sober man is tremendous! Before the state conference of char- itles and correction at Hartford on Thursday he said: *“I reckon that it costs the state of Connecticut $500,000 annually to pros- ecute and support drunkards. The number of drunkards is variously es- timated from 1,000 to 5,000. There are few reliable figures that I can give you. Onme case in one of our counties is a good illustration of the individual and the system of law I have in mind. In May, 1878, this man was sent to the county jail for drunkenness. He wae then about 21 years old. been sent up for short terms ever since that date, spending almost the whole time for 32 years in that jail for no other pffense but drunkenness, or being a common drunkard. He has learned no trade and is no better fit- ted to earn his living than he was in 1878. He has cost the county at least £10,000. If he had been sent to a farm colony in 1878 he might have been saved, or at least boarded for less than he has cost in jail. He is only a type; there are literally hun- dreds like him. “The cause is unrestrained self-in- dulgence; the physical pleasure of drink; the determination to have a good ‘time, no matter who suffers. I want to nail this matter of respon- eibility right where it belongs—at the door of the voluntary drunkard’s con- science. His will and his mind are at fault” The remedy for this condition of things Judge Warner declared “was work; steady, regular, agreeable, healthful outdoor labor. Work which will enable the worker to earn a liv- ing outside of jail, “The reformatory so well under way in our state will provide for the in- struction in trades of its inmates, but it will not take drunkards, and it teems as if there was no provision for drunkards on the face of the earth. My proposal is the establishment of & farm colony to which drunkards could be sent for long terms, say five vears, with parole possible at the end of one year; and not sooner. Let this institution be arranged upon the cot- tage system with not more than twen- ty persons in one building, under the control of a central organization, to create as near as possible the atmo- sphere of a decent home; the less like an institution it is the better. If any ‘rounder’ shows signs of ability to lcarn a trade, let him be encouraged. This farm colony should be under the control of the state, and there should be land enough for each inmate to get plenty of outdoor labor under kind suapervision. I ‘elieve this course would save to society, many of the ‘rounders,” now a growing expense and burden to themselves and the sober, industrious part of the community.” An Ohio woman left $50 to her only cousin, and the claimants show that thars @re 50 many of him that her will] cannot be carried out. NOT INCOMPATIBLE. ‘We agree with Governor Weeks that @angerous noise and violence and peril by fire ought to be suppressed in the interest of a sane Fourth of July cel- ebration. We. agree also with Mayor Gaynar that Young America ought to have & good time on Independence day. We believe the two are not incompati- ble.—Waterbury American, ®e Bulletin thinks that a great deal that is dangerous to life and limb and property might be taken out of the celebration of the Fourth without in- terfering with the pleasure of the boys to any great extent. Those who are most offensive on that day are young men of no judgment and older men who haven’t sense enough to respect law and order. There is no justice in dlaming the youngsters who wit- ness so many bad examples, and are so often badly advised. With the dan- gerous explosives taker, out and the senseless grown-ups suppressed, the boys may be relied upon’to have a good time and %o do credit to the day. ——— . EDITORIAL NOTES.

Do you realize that despite all the publicity given to the t that See- retary Ballinger cancelled an. order ‘whereby Secretary Garfield had with- drawn .from “entry 3,000,000 acres o protect ‘water power sites, Mr. Ballin- ger never disturbed other orders of his predecessor, withdrawing 60,000,000 acres for conservation purposes? Do you understand that Mr., Ballinger's cancellation order affected less than &5 per cent. of the area withdrawn? Do you know that ever since January. 1908, the government has heen seek ing to defeat the Cunningham claim to Alaska coal lands because it feare the Guggenheims were in a conspirac to get hold of these claims; that it is trying to do so st at the removal of Glavis has ne ffected in any wav the purpose of the administration to cancel these claims? Do you know that not one acre of Alaska coal lands has been patented—that it, has pa 4 into private hands? Do you realiz that Secretary Ballinger has with- drawn- for conservation purposes more than 7,000,000 res since he has be- come secretary These are fundamen- tal facts in connection with the cur- rent controversy which must be borne in mind if one would not be misled by the vast amount of misinformation which is finding its way into print. It is also important to bear in mind that Secretary Ballinger has sent to con-— gress the first actual conservation bills that have ever been framed, that these have received the indorsement of the president, and that they are part of his legislative programme. With these facts in mind, it may be possible better to separate the chaff from the wheat in this Ballinger-Pinchot controversy.— Tribune Special. Those Who Ride Hobbies. More power to the man who has a hobby. He may often be looked upon as a nuisance, but when we dissect him we find that in his makeup there is much more to praise than to criticise, although it is easy enough to ridicule the hobby rider. He is seriously en- thusiastic and intent o a single pur- pose. He does not waste his ammu- nition. This single-handedness purpose which lays him liable to scorn is the essential cause of progress. Pioneers are essential in any line of endeavor. Unless they had a hobby they would follow the beaten path, or the line of least resistance, and the result would he that the world would not have taken a forward step. All hobbies are not useful or economic, but it is for men of sober mind, who are too matter-of-fact, to have hobbies themselves. to ish = batweos of but getting the Stuff to be ! ’ [ Heartburn, Fullness “Don’t give me them black looks, as if I was responsible for the prices of this stuff,” said the groceryman when he dumped the load of groceries on the kitchen table. “You ought to go and frown-at the ’s the one that's gettin’ rieh.” & “I wasn’'t thinking about the b said the pretty cook. “They don't wor- ry me nearly so much as that pound i and a haif of wet hnow and mud you always bring in on each of your shoes ; and leave in the middle of my clean floor.

The effort now being made in con- gress to abolish trading in futures, while not a new thing by any means, is a dangerous effort to interfere with the regular course of commercial af- fairs by legislation, and Hke all such lexislation, or attemrpted legislation, is to be resisted by the business interests as _strenuously as may be. ‘While there are undoubtedly abuses connected with the system of future trading which might profitably be elim- inated. the regular trading in commod- ities for future delivery is part and parcel of al' modern methods of com- merce. Such abuses as may be found to exist are not within the province of the federal government to regulate, as it is very doubtful if future t can be considered as coming under the head of interstate commerce. The practical effect of eliminating future tradin? in American markets would be to place the control of prices for our leading products in foreign hands. The experiment has been tried and proven a failure. Something more than a decade ago Germany probibit- ed the trading in futures in commodi- ties and stocks, with the result that the prices for all products and com- modities in which Germany was vital- ly interested were regulated and con- trolled in Paris and London, with re- sults so disastrous that the law had to be repealed on the urgent demand of the very interests that rad been mainly instrumental in having it pass- ed.—New Orleans Picayune. Conquest of Fevers. A recent news item in The Canal Record of Panama affords in a simple and matter of fact way a singularly of the conquest which science has achieved over what was one of the deadliest and most dread of human ills and also of the similarly complete con- quest which it has enabled man to make over other comparable ills if he only will show the energy and the courage of his information. The item eloquent reminder of the completeness | relates that a man reached Colon on January 6, proceeded to Panama, sick- ened on January 12 and on January 24 died of yellow fever, which had, doubt- less, been contracted at Carthagena, where the ship had called. The usual sanitary precautions were taken against the spread of the disease; no panie oécurred and there were no ap- prehensions of further cases. 4 For ¢ontrast we need not go back so far as the time of Lesseps, when the isthmus merited Froude's description of it as the physical as well as moral plague spot of the world. During our own occupation of the plaee, in 1904- 05 there were 246 cases of yellow fever, nearly ail of them originating on theisthmus, of which $4 proved fatal, and there <was great . eapprehension among the American pesidents.
