Mall subscribers in ordering change of address should be particular to give

compliance with their request.
IN a well reasoned communication printed in these columns, James
P. Brown gives credit to Mr. Taft for honest}% wisdom and cour
age. On the subject of Mr. Taft's honesty and courage The Call
is in cordial agreement with Mr. ; but
we can not concur in the attribution of wisdom
-
to the chief executive and we have not failed
on occasion to point out where we think Mr.
Taft has made mistakes of judgment.
Mr. Brown mentions the Chicago Tribune and The Call as pro
ponents of such criticism, and he might have added that most of the
independent republican newspapers in every part of the country have
taken the same course, while at the same time giving Mr. Taft the
fullest credit for good intentions.
The fact is that the president is surrounded by an organized
gang of politicians — all of them self-seeking and many. of them tricky
— and these people contrive to keep from Mr. Taft the real sentiment
Consider the disclosures of the sort of politics that has sur
rounded the investigation of Ballinger. In view of these disclosures
the reluctance of the interior department to surrender documents of
important bearing on the case is readily explained. We find, for
example, a cabinet' minister who admits antedating an official docu
ment on the plea that in substance it was identical with a verbal
statement previously made. We find Ballinger himself assisting in
the preparation of a statement in exoneration of his" course which
was obviously intended and written in the hope that it would be
accepted and signed by the president as his own work.
Mr. Taft did not fall into the trap that was set for him, and
accepted the Ballinger defense only in part. But the very fact that
he was unable to accept this ex parte statement as it was written
might have warned a less unsuspecting man of the nature of the in
fluences by which he is surrounded.
Mr. Taft's worsfmistake of judgment was when he concluded
he could do nothing with congress except by effecting an alliance
with such men as Aldrich. These men know the game of politics
to its most minute detail, and they fool Mr. Taft to the limit. They
did this with the tariff and left him to carry the load out of mistaken
loyalty to his allies. They will do the same thing, if they dare, with
the president's pending legislative program. In this regard it is
pertinent to quote an editorial in the Chicago Record-Herald, an in
dependent and nonpartisan paper, which we think strongly reflects
the prevailing sentiment in this wise:
But there is one thing or appearance that even the most stubborn
regulars must shun and avoid as they would the plague, and that is
repetition of the new tariff's history in the case of the railroad bill, the
star measure of the session. Already too much in the situation suggests
the deadly parallel— the first reception of the bill, the discovery of
alleged jokers and defects, the charges of "villainy," the resenting of
amendments, the revolt of progressives, the smiles, silence and ground
less optimism of the administration, the popular suspicion and hostility
provoked by Mr. Wickcrsham's unfortunate invective and attempted
mustering out of lifelong republicans, and so on.
We know that the tariff has cost the party votes and confidence. We
know that the insurgent view of the tariff is shared by legions of re
publican voters. Suppose that the regulars succeed, with the aid of a
few reactionary democrats, in putting through an emasculated railroad
bill— a bill which all, or nearly all, of the insurgent republicans and
progressive democrats continue to denounce as worthless or worse;
would that kind of a bill, so passed, help the republican party or the
administration?
It is a grievous political mistake to suppose that useful legisla
tion can only be secured by an alliance with the powers of evil. It
needs a long spoon to sup with the devil, and it is safer to refuse the
Mr. Taft might with advantage reflect on the line taken by Gov
ernor Hughes of New York in this relation. • Governor Hughes made
no alliance nor trades and held no conferences with the' "Black Horse
Cavalry" and the corrupt politicians of the New York legislature.
He told them very plainly what he wanted done in the way of legis
lation. When they turned down his recommendations, as they did
many times at the start, he appealed to the people, with surprising
results for the politicians. > After a few sharp lessons of this sort. he
had them eating out of his hand.
The only argument that these people understand comes in the
shape of a club.
Mr. Brown's
Review of Taft
Administration
AX interesting example of the disposition and point of view that
inspire congress is* found in the fate of Secretary Meyer's
plan for reorganization of the navy. For years the country
has been hearing the blame for naval malad
ministration laid at the door of the cumber
some, awkward and confused bureau system;
and nobody has ever seriously questioned the
validity of the indictment. The nayyj depart
ment is administered by seven bureaus whose functions frequently
overlap and cause .delay and general inefficiency because these insti*
tutions are all and severally intensely jealous of the: others and
wherever there is a .suspicion of infringement there is a clash- of
authority. _/
Secretary Meyer did not propose to abolish the system or^con
solidate the bureaus under a single head, but he did recommend that
one of these seven causes *of friction, waste and delay should be
put out of, business. . He selected the bureau of equipment as most
worthy of/ the ax.
This looked like a mild measure of reform which in view of the

an Imperiled
Bureau

MOTORING ON THE MILKY WAY
volume of criticism directed at the department might be expected
to commend itself to the wisdom of. congress; but congress does not
look at things that way. To the congressional eye the secretary's
recommendation was a measure to shorten the talc of official patron
age, and this is. the last thing in the world that congress desires.
Moreover the influence of the bureaus is very strong witli congress,
and when one of them is threatened they all unite for the common
defense. They may quarrel angrily among themselves in the off
season, but when there is anything doing that threatens salaries all
Washington is as angry as a hornet's nest" stirred with long pole.
\u25a0\ Therefore the senate naval committee has voted to recommend
for adoption the whole of the secretary's program with the single
exception of that for the disestablishment of the '. bureau of equip
ment. The country will get its battleships and submarines, its naval
stations and its Hry docks, and the imperiled bureau isfcaved *
r I A HE position assumed by Spokane and some of the other inland
I commercial cities in relation to- the mileage basis for fixing
**• railroad rates is peculiar, but scarcely ingenuous. They desire
a strictly limited application of the long and
short haul rule that will give them freight
rates equal to or less than those enjoyed by
the coast cities by reason of their geographical
position and the effect of water competition.
We need 'not now argue this contention which has been fully dis
cussed here before, but these inland cities are seeking to graft on the
mileage basis doctrine another which reduces it to absurdity. That
is to say, they ask for terminal rates for themselves to protect their
several "zones" of jobbing, trade. Spokane, for instance, enjoys
jobbing rates that give the town the wholesale trade of an important
territory of which it is the commercial center. If rates are put on a
straight mileage basis Spokane would lose much of that trade.
1 The other day two important railroad systems asked the Spo
kane council for franchises to enter the city and met with a refusal
except on condition that the applicants grant terminal rates to the
city. The sequel is told by the Oregonian thus:
Spokane has had to back down from its demand for terminal rates in
exchange for grant. of franchises to the; Milwaukee and the North Coast
railroads. The railroads served notice that they could well stay out of
Spokane and had stopped construction toward that city; that terminal
rates were absurd and impossible and would disarrange the railroad map
of the whole country, and that, moreover, if it were necessary for them ,
to have access to Spokane, the city council could not keep them out'nor
impose successfully any conditions that they were unwilling to meet.
Spokane wanted rates equal to those that prevail where there
is water competition. The railroads refused because it would make
their business impossible and then there was a return to sanity. The
citizens xompelled the city council to back down, and Spokane was
reduced to a realizing sense of its place on the map.
Thisiong and short haul controversy is -not a question of moral
nor abstract right, but one of -geography and the commercial neces
sities that follow from geographical facts.

MARK TWAIN'S
RESORT TO ARMS
gjgWhen Mark Twain was a reporter on
The Call in 1564 and lived with his
friend, Steve Gillis, it was his habit to
read and studs far into the morning.
He abhorred noise in the small hours,
and on one occasion, to secure quiet, he
was compelled to resort to arms. The
story is sent to The Call by Mrs. E. C.
Parsons, now of Fresno, a sister of
Gillis, and in those days one of the
household in which Mark Twain lived.
In the neighborhood was'a man named
Moore, an enthusiastic chicken fancier,
who owned a large and pugnacious
game cock. Twain admired the bird
and named it Goliath. He and Gillis be
lieved it could whip anything that wore
feathers and daily watched its training.
But the unlucky Goliath suddenly de
veloped the habit of * proclaiming his
prowess 1 -by crowing incessantly be
tween midnight and dawn, and as the
rooster's quarters - were nearly under
Twain's window there could be but one
result.
"Twain wanted the bird to live be
cause he wanted to see it fight. Also he
wanted to see it dead because he want
ed to read and write. At first he fret
ted, then he threatened, and finally
about 2 o'clock one morning the Gillis
family heard something stirring. It
was- a moonlight night and looking out
of their^ windows into the adjoining
back yard they saw Twain, clad only
in' a nightshirt and grasping an old
Mexican sword "he kept in his room,
creeping stealthily along the fence.
The game \cock saw his enemy ap^
proaching and, jumping from its perclC
tried to run away. Then followed \a
spectacular ! chase up and down the
yard, through the bushes, Twahi wildly
waving his weapon as he made repeated
lunges at the fowl and relieving his
feelings with: a series of dashes. At
last he caught the cock, there was a
brief pause while he brought the old
sword into play, and then he returned
to the house with the makings of a
pot pie. ' -
When Moore brought the news of his 1
loss to Twain the latter sympathized
with him and even put an advertise
ment in The Call." offering ?5 for the re
turn of the rooster.
"That was a great bird," said Twain,
"great in battle, and still greater in re
treat."
Shorter Railroad Ticket

the. railroads adopting it. It cuts down
printing bills, lessens the size of the
ticket holders in, offices and practically

HALLEY'S WANDERER
IS BACK FROM ELBA
Comet Is Harmless Queen of the May Respite
Nervous People and Politicians 1
ARTHUR L. PRICE
"You mast trake me," said O»« cora«t, "call m»
early, mother dear;
Tie morninr is the liveliest time la\ all the
glad new ytsr; *
The earliest hour of risiny, mother, the yawn
iest, sleepiest day,
For I ajn back from Elba, mother, and I'm to ha
queen of the May."
The activities which disturbed
the eastern heavens for the last month
came to a head yesterday when Hal
ley's comet, back from Elba and other
southern points, was crowned queen of
the May. Venus was dethroned in the
insurgent movement which has agi
tated the eastern sky for some time.
The new comet queen received the
keys to the city and made a little
speech, in which it said that while it
was glad to be back from Elba and was
doubly delighted to greet Gifford" Pin
chot and other dignitaries whose ef
forts In preserving the meteors from
falling into tho hands of unscrupulous
museums could not be too highly com
mended, yet it must be understood that
as a comet it was in no position to
criticise planets, and would only add
that while passing through the signs
of the zodiac it had killed Leo, the
lion; Aries, the ram; Taurus, the bull;
Capricornus, the goat, and other crea
tures of the sky. Gemini, the twins,
had been spared for what they signi
fied.
In other respects the comet was mod-,
est of its achievement.
The proposition to have the comet
crowned queen of the May originated
in the minds of some of the real estate
promoters in the eastern heavens.
"We noticed," said the president of
a large company that is putting on a
tract to the south of Venus, "we noticed
thaif all this agitation of last fall over
the discovery or alleged discovery of
the north pole has given an/unwonted
impetus to the celestial real estate ac
tivities in the region of the north star
and great dipper. Now any one at all
familiar with the characteristics of
that segment of the heavens can not
but know, that it is an undesirable
neighborhood, particularly near the
great dipper, which is little more or
less than a drinking place for the great
and minor bears.
"Then the zenith became popular
through the advancement of the al
leged beneficial advantages of using
the certified milky way. We saw that
it was time to have a demonstration in
the eastern sky. I n times of yore the
east used to be popular. There used
to be songs about 'The Dawn in Rus
set Mantle Clad,' and such eminently
proper sentiments. But of recent years,
owing largely to the sleepyheadedness
of the human- race, the dawn and all
that pertains thereto has. lost its charm.
We had to do something to attract cus
tom to the sale of the large properties
which we have developed there.
"I admit it is a cold blooded business
proposition that led us to bring Mr.
Halley'a comet into our territory. We
negotiated for several years before we
could close our contracts.
"There was the political prestige of
the comet which we had to consider.
This comet which Mr. Halley has on his
booking circuit is known as a med

some prominent folks at "Washington
consider the omen of the comet that
they immediately served notica that
they would not return to their jobs."
All that made the comet a good at
traction for the festival of coronation,
yesterday morning.
The little stars had beea trained to
sing hymns to the music of the, spheres.
The coronation hymn was as follows:
"HAS EVERYBODY HZRE SEEN TH3
.V- COMET!"
"Has everybody here seen comstf

promoter. i*.W« demanaed a royalty on
all alarm clocks sold during the comet
period, and that stipend has more
than remunerated us for what we must
pay the comet.

has been very jealous of the popularity
of Mr. Halley's comet, and has threat
ened to call all the clouds to her aid
to blot the horizon, so that our festival
will be spoiled.
"But I think we have come throush
all right.
"The newspapers have made great
eft*ort3 to get the comet to discuss Its
trip during: the last 73 years and bow
things were when it left Elba. On my
instruction it has sedulously refused to
join in such discussion^ All it. vrtll say
is that it*\s going to Mars from here.
for there is war en 3lars. I believe
when It reaches Mars it will alight at
Waterloo station.
'"I want to inform all nervous people
that the comet is quite harmless and
will injure no one — not even those who
mostly feared the return from Elba.
Aldrich, Hale and Flint need not have
retired from politics on its account.
"Our contract with the comet closes
Wednesday, May 13. on which date, I
believe, the western circuit -will begin
to book the attraction along with Mars.
I believe that our carnival is a sue- f

whole, and while I do not wish to make
