what an investigation would show the COM
mlttee did not want to investigate.
II was shown that throughout the gov
errment service when the conduct of an
official Is called into question he has al
ways been considered as entitled to a fair
investigation to relieve himself of criticism
AMI condemnation by the public. 1t was
shown that in many cases and in fact as
a rule, when the official conduct of a man
hclding public office is called INFO question
he himself is the first to ask that ne be al
lowed an investigation in order that he
might have an opportunity to exonera:e
himself. But all such suggestion fell upon
deaf ears. 1t made no difference what was
saic-the committee did not want to know
anything more than it had in its possession.
False and Malicious Statements.
1t is understood that some Of the papers
that are in the possession of tie committee
which contained statements about Mrs
MorrlS have been branded as so utterly
false and malicious that they should not
be permitted to prejudice her case and to
uphold Mr. Barnes for an iDstlnt. In fact
some of these statements are declared to
be of a most unusual kind in that they
are utterly at variance with the known
facts But even those prejudcai state
ments, which have been before the COM
mittee and which were the basis of the
committee action, allowed to stand
without an opportunity to refute them
After the committee voted against any
investigation motion was made to report
Mr.. Barnes nomination favorably to the
senate and it was carried by viva yoce
vote. The cut-and-dried proceeding that
had preceded the making of that motion
made 1t unnecessary to ask for a roll cali
and record of the vote
Mr. Barnes nomination will probably be
reported to the Senate this afternoon. III
the same stand-pat proceeding is adhered
to the nomination is likely to be confirmed
But it is also likely that before he is
confirmed the Senate will be told some in
teresting facts concerning the method hv
which the matter has been pushed forward
to its present stage.

Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1906-11-22

BY ALICE WILLIAMS BRorHERroN.
In Puritan New England year had passed
away,
Since first beside the Plymouth coast the English
Mayhower lay,
When Bradford, the good Governor, sent fowlers
The turkey and the wild fowl, to increase the
scanty fare:-
Our husbandry hath prospered; there is corn
enough for food
Tho the pease be parched in blossom and the
grain Indifferent good
Who blessed the loaves and fishes for the feast
miraculous,
And flled with oil the widows cruise, He hath
remembered us.
Give thanks unto the Lord of Hosts, by whom
we all are fed,
Who granted us our daily prayer Give us our
daily bread
In memory of his bounty as lands Thanksgiv-
ing Day"
Each brought his share of Indian Meal the pious
feast to make,
With the fat deer from the forest and the wild
fowl from the brake.
And chanted hymn and prayer was raised-tho
eyes with Gears dim
"The Lord he hath remembered us let remem-
Der Him.
Then Bradford stood up at their head and lifted
up his voice:
"The corn is gathered from the field call you to
rejoice:
Thank God for all his mercies, from the greatest
to the least;
Together have we tasted, friends, together let us
feast
"The Lord who led forth Israel was with US in
the waste,
Sometime in light, sometime in cloud before
He hath paced;
Now give Him thanks and pray to Him who
holds us in His hand
To prosper us and make of this a strong and
mighty land y
From Plymouth to the Golden Gate, today their
children tread,
The mercies of that bounteous Hand upon the
land are she'd;
The "focks are on a thousand hills" the praires
wave with grain
The cities spring like mushrooms now where
once desert-plain
Heap high the board with plenteous cheer and
gather to the feast,
And toast that sturdy Pilgrim band whose cour-
age never ceased
Give praise to that All-gracious One by whom
their steps were led,
And thanks unto the harvests Lord who sends
us our daily bread

THE COMING OF THANKSGIVING.

The New England boy used to look forward
to Thanksgiving as the great event of the year,
He was apt to get stints set him--so much corn
to husk for instance before that day, SO that he
could have an extra play-spell; and in order to
gain day or two, he would work at his task
with the rapidly of half dozen boys. He had
the day after Thanksgiving always as holiday,
and this was the day he counted on. Thanks
giving itself was rather an awful festival-very
much like Sunday, except for the enormous din
ner, which filled his imagination for months be-
fore as completely as it did his stomach for that
day and week after. There was an impress
sion n the house that that dinner was the most

Nothing" replied Faradeane,
gravely.
The governor signed to a turnkey
and Faradeane was conducted to his
cell.
AS the lock sprang into its place
with an ominous click, and he founi
himself alone, he started, and looked
round like a man awahng from some
hideous dream, and made a step to-
wards the iron door; then he stopped,
and, with a sigh, sank on to the prison
bed
God give me strength to go through
with it," he murmured Let me re,
member It is for her sake! oh, my
darling. for your sakei"
To be continued.
