President Taft's declara'ion supporting BalUn ger and criticising Pinchot insures a continuation cf the fight for Roose velt policies to the bitter end. The discharge of Glavij means the lat ter's charges will be given to the public and the nation's verdict as to their validity wl 1 result. The belief prevails among the fol lowers of Pinchot that Mr. Taft's dec laration sign Ha a Lreak between the Rooseveltites and the administration, as it is well knon that Balllnger ou- poses the Roosevelt ilea of conser vation.
