sounded a note that will break even
the patience of President Taft. ,:;
A Rule of the Cabinet
' There has been a tacit rule In the
Taft cabinet ever since there began
to be a public question as to the rela
tions between Taft and Roosevelt,
that no member o. the president's offi
cial family should discuss in any way
the relations between the president
and the colonel. It Is a rule of official
good taste and If Mr. Balllnger has
broken it, particularly at this time,
the consequent may be serious. .
There Is considerable doubt, how
ever, as to whether Mr. Balllnger will
go without a struggle, He has been
fnn-ad Into a corner. He Is a fighting
man by nature. The role of a martyr
is not to his UKtng. tie may duck.
. And here is where the Interview
that he gave to the reporters In
Minneapolis may be made to serve a
good purpose. -
Beverly Is very anxious to know
whether Secretary Balllnger was cop
