"Mr. Pinchot has had two inter
views with Mr. Roosevelt, and ne
says everything is lovely. He has
told the colonel all that has happen
ed, We suppose, in the year that the
colonel has been in Africa, and,
doubtless, it has been a harrowing
tale. Whether or not a plan of cam
paign for the restoration has been
wrought out between the returning
chieftain and his favorite marshal re
mains to be seen, but one thing has
appeared that is significant. ihe
colonel has accepted an invitation to
address the National Conservation
Association, and that would indicate
that he is to begin on the sensitive
end of the Taft situation. How can
Col. Roosevelt talk about conserva
tion of national resources without
referring to the case of Mr. Balliu
ger, and how can he touchup Mr.
Ballinger without flecking Mr. Taft?
And if he criticises at all he is no'
likely to criticize gently.
"It seems certain now that Mr.
Roosevelt is coming home *o judge
his erstwhile friend and intimate,
Mr. Taft. It has been said by some
that he can not censure Taft without
confessing error on his own part
in having brough Taft to power, for
undoubtedly Taft owes the Presiden
cy to Roosevelt. If Roosevelt stood
sponsor for Taft before the people
it is argued, he is bound to suppo-t
the administration of his protege.
Not at all. Censure of Taft may in
volve confession of error on his part
in the selection of a successor to |
himself, an interpreter of his poli
cies, but that is easily made, and, |
indeed, such an admission would
come readily from a man like Roose
velt. It would be in his best style
and would actually be the best form
of bringing out his own superlative
and incomparable qualities, as rated
by himself. Yes. he might say, Tatt
has failed, but that only goes to show
that nobody elce could carry out the
program I had prepared. Who but
Ulysses could bend Ulysses" bow?
"That, we believe, is the line of
attack that will be pressed by the
Rooseveltians. That a conflict is
coming between the ex-Pre3ident and
his predecessor seems practically
certain, and it should make a very
interesting situation. That it is go
ing to profit Roosevelt we are not
at all sure, and we are, indeed, very
hopeful that it will make an end of
that enterprising gentleman as a po
litical factor in the country and will
reduce him to his natural element of
mere ' vociferation. But it should
break up the Republican party nicely
and open a fine way for the Demo
crats, and that is what we want and
the country needs."
The above, which we take from
the editorial columns of the Char
leston Evening Post, is?a true inter
pretation of the feelings and pur
poses of Mr. Roosevelt and his
friends. We predicted over ? year
ago that Roosevelt would try to suc
ceed Mr. Taft, and we still believe
so. But, as the Post says, the ef
fort 'is going to split the Republican
party, and any good Democrat will
be able to defeat Roosevelt. The
best interests of the country de-1
"mands his defeat, and we believe
I the people will reject him at the
polls.
I Friend of the Trusts.
i The Spartanburg Journal says the
serious problem at Washington is
what to do with Secretary Ballinger
' of the interior department. What
will Ballinger do for President Taft
is a side problem. Up to this date
the President has stood by Ballin
ger claiming that he was a man
I of ability, strict integrity and a high
sense of honor.
Such has been his management of
the office and his friendliness to
wards trusts, syndicates and rob
I hers of government lands that an in
vestigation has been neecssary. One
I not in the whirl of the inner rings
of Washington politics cannot un
derstand how a cabinet officer, with
a clean record, a high purpose and
strict honesty, could be the victim
of designing men in the very begin
ning of his cabinet career.
For sometime Collier's Weekly has
be.pn showing that the office of the
interior, which should stand between
the people and the greed and ras
I cality of land grabbers and power
I ful syndicates, has befriended the
robber class who would seize all
the public utilities of the country.
Collier's shows that Richard A.
Ballinger did a little crooked work
I in his nail factory in Alabama. He
I found it necessary to move and he
went to Port Townsend, about, as
far as ne culd get to be under the
stars and stripps. There he found
a field for his crooked work. After
a successful cireer. as he consider
ed success, for everal years, he mov
ed to Seattle .Collier states that by
duplicity, taking fees on both sides
of a case, and doing things that no
honorable lawyer would do. lie was
considered a suitable man for secre
tary of the interior by the Guggen
, heims. the trusts and the spoilers
of the nation's property. Such was
I their influence that President Taft.
! who seems to be a poor judge of
I men. yielded to the artful sugges
, tions of the system aud Ballinger
was appointed.
Colliier's has shown him up as
the prince of shysters, as one given
to double dealing in politics and who
would barter the greatest interests
I of the country for gold and influ
ence. So plainly and unequivocally
, has this been done that Ral!ing3r
says he will prosecute Collier's
j Weekly for malicious libel. It is no*,
usual for a man of the highest in
tegrity to "sue for his character."
The class that brings such suits Gen
erally have little character before
they begin the suit and less after
wards.
What Is Needed.
"The Democrats may be depended
on to make fools of themselve at
the right time to help the Republi
cans." is a saying attributed to Gen.
Grant. Spartanburg Journal says
lcoking at our political history for
the last forty years, it is not worth
one's time to argue that statement
today. The republicans have learn
ed the lesson from the democrats
and put it into practice sometimes,
as was the case of "Rum, Roman
ism and Rebellion" back in 1884.
That slogan gave the election to
Cleveland.
Just at this time the republicans
are endeavoring to aid the democrats
with the Ballinger-Pinchot investi
gation, the condition of state poli
tics of Albany and the political as
pect of the strike in Philadelphia.
The frauds in Alaska lands and coal
mines is the work of the Republi
can party. The trusts are upheld
and strengthened by it.
If the democrats are wise and have
any leadership, these conditions will
greatly strengthen them and secure
r. democratic house in the fall elec
tions. But to get the advantage of
tho situation, statesmanship and not
selfish aims and plans are required.
If the leading democrats will lay
aside desire for precedence and work
for the success of the party and the
good of the whole country, they will
be successful this fall. The mid
dle west is restless. They are tir
ed of Taft, Cannon, Aldrich and
fth^eir domination. Opportunity is
at hand with plenty of hair for a
good hold.
All the Democrats need to do to
win a great national victory is to
get together and stay together and
stay together until after the elec
tion. Let both factions make con
cessions for the general good.
