Secretary Says Situation is Intolerabe Because
Irresponsible People are Constantly
Making Charges.
Investigation VIII be Public and all Records
ofDepartment of the Interior VIII
be Barred to the Public.

such action might be construed by
his enemies as an effort on the part
of the administration to white
wash" him.
A personal friend of Ballinger
who recently left the government
service, and who himself has been
an investigator in the department
of justice and is an expert in the
land laws, urged the secretary. to
take the action He impressed the
secretary with the conviction that
the time had come when he must
either demand acquittal or retire to
private life.
Four important aspects of the sit
uation were taken into considera-
tion by the party leaders: The eff
feet upon the future of the repub-
lican party, and the Taft administra-
ton, If the attacks upon the integ-
rity of cabinet members are allowed
to pass unanswered and unchal-
lenged; the possibility of contro-
versy between adherents and op-
ponents of Ballinger becoming Bit
ter enough to endanger party legis-
lation; practical standstill of the
whole policy of conservation in the
present conflict among those in
whose hands lies the administration
of that policy; a desire to do jus
tice toward a cabinet officer whose
personal and official integrity has
been assailed
Ballinger is impatient, it is said,
and has urged that the resolution
providing for congressional inves-
tigation be presented to the senate
tomorrow. 1t is understood tonight
that he has been overruled on that
point and that the exceedingly COM
pick task of determining the form
of inquiry will be threshed out be-
tween now and the reconvening of
congress January 4.
It is believed that the investiga-
tion will be public and that the
entire department of the interior, so
far as public lands, mineral and wa
ter rights are concerned, must be
barred to the searchlight from the
time Ballinger was commissioner of
the general land Office under the
Roosevelt administration, down to
the present time.

IN MEMORY OF LITTLE RURIE
FLOYD.
BY Her Loving Cousin.

Jesus called our little Rubie.
To that city far away,
Where no sorrow casts its shadow
On that bright eternal day.
Still we linger here in sadness,
In this world Of sin and pain;
There will be no perfect gladness,
Darling, till we meet again.
Till we meet beyond the river,
Where your little feet have trod;
There to sing sweet praise forever
To our glorious, all-wise God.
Just a little gift from Heaven,
Lovingly the Lord did smile;
For such gift in love is given,
Just to stay little while.
Such a precious little sunbeam,
Shining in our hearts so bright.
Made the gliding days all seeming
Only moments Of delight.
o. may we bear our loss In meekness,
Though our hearts are filled with
grief;
Help US. Lord. for In our weakness,
Thou art still our great relief,
To our hearts there comes sweet
voices.
Whispering 10 us ever-more.
That our little Rubie now reioiees
On the happy golden shore.
