Under the headinfr "Svsrem " i -O J p Collier's has the following to say editorially about the Pinchot Pa!iir.ger affair: "If the investi ating committee- at Washington invites L. R. Glacis to be represented by his v ain rr eys during the hearing, the I.uhlic will have more confidence ij th. result. If it invites C )1 li'i's, lis the responsible pub- hsr.r of Glavis's charges and the defender of his course, to be present through its attorneys, with the power to examine and crofS-oxamine witnesses, the At tcrney General's report will be torn to such shreds that it will be beyond recognition. We re gret extremely the situation which ended in the separation of Mr. Pinchot from the public ser vice. If, when the evidence is all before the people, either thj ough the committee's work or through our own work after the committee's expected-whitewash, thev will be able to decide wheth- - V?r oV Ro-Vjfne attJAtiG the j "? insubordination of Mr. Glavi3 and the subsequent insubordina tion of Mr. Pinchot If the Land Office and the Interior Depart ment have been conducted with propriety, the position taken by these gentlemen was inexcusa ble. If, however, Mr. Ballinger has been persistently untruthful, and frequently unfaithful to his ' trust, Messrs. Pinchot, ,Glavis, Price and Shaw will be looked upon through the country at large as having gone down in a cause that was worth their sac rifice. Collier's has been accused ' of wishing to discredit the Ad mont, is not Giavi3 against lial , linger or Collier's against Ballin j ger; It is the People a gainst the System, and the System has for jits attorneys Messrs. Ballinger, Hitchcock, Aldrich, Cannon and I their cohorts. Our hope in Mr. Taft's ulti mate willing decision of this question, although flickering, is not yet dead." His eyes may be opened, and he may then have the courage to abandon an atti tude shown to be mistaken. He may b ld to understand that he ministration Actually nobotV wishes the President better than ourselves, but we beHsve the kind of governor; 'ontr represented by Ballinger arid Hitchcock must -cease. "The System," or free masonry, of the . privileged, has lasted long enough. The give-and-take between politicians and plutocrats, has too long ruled the . cou n t ry. When Gi If ord Pi n chot said- thai any act which adds to " the difficulty with which ordinary men and women are able decently to keep alive, raises a moral is sue, he spoke the truth. Under this banner Collier's is willling, if need be, to go down calami tously to defeat. Defeat, how ever, will scarcely be required. Organized politics, leagued with organized wealth, form a power that is ominous and reaches far. The power of truth, once under stood, is greater still. What we most regret is that the Administration 'seems to be unwittingly forcing itself to ward a position w.here it repre sents reaction against moral pro gress. The fii;st mistake, in this Interior Department trouble, be gan when Mr. Ballinger buncoed the Attorney General, and the is surrounded by an. impenetrable wall of so-called "conservatism" which obstructs his yisici? When we have finished our task "of de monstrating one gross lie after another, perpetrated upon him, and upon the Attorney General, perhaps he will at length agree that informality, and even in subordination, was the only meth od of shocking the country into acute realization. His program for strengthening the conservation- laws has our heartiest ap proval and will have pur unflinch ing support. It is barely possible that he, on his side, will in time realize, that a VaJamity fell upon the countrv vJhen a cixatoL of -xian into his confidence and tempora rily closed his mind."
