DE-
MES CHARGES
"False, RidiculOusly False; Equally
False; Equally Ridiculous"

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. IS.-
Secretary Ballinger late last night
issued a long statement in which, in
most vigorous terms, he declared
that charges made by Representative
Hitchcock before the house commit
tee on expenditures and aimed at
the interior department and general
land Office were without foundation.
Answering. in turn, each of the
charges made yesterday by Mr..
Hitchcock in his statement, Secre-
tary Ballinger asserts that "in SO
far as they allege any extravaganza,
wrong doing or fayoritism on his
part, they are absolutely without
foundation"
False; ridiculously false; equally
fale; equally ridiculous; a peculiarly
unwarranted assault upon an efic-
lent government officer"-the latter
referring to Mr.. Schwartz, chief of
field service-are expressions which
Mr.. Ballinger uses In his answer to
the various charges.
In regard to appointing a relative,
J. s. Ballinger. as confidential clerk
when he became commissioner of the
general land office, the secretary says
this was because he was not person
ally acquainted before coming here
with any officers or clerks of the
land office and desired to have as
confidential clerk some one whom
he knew.
He says that Judge Wright was re.
moved, not to make way for j. s
Ballipger, but because Judge
Wrfght's age, he being nearly 80
made him physically disqualified t:
perform his duties"
The vacancy on the law board, h
says, was filled, not by Jack Balm
ger, but by Judge Gray.
He says that the certain "bricl
chimney" to which Mr.. Hitchcock al
luded was erected pursuant to a spe
cifc appropriation for the purpos
by congress; that the sdditiona
clerks in the land Office compliance
of were necessitated by the congress
sional appropriation of $1,000, 90
for protecting public lands, and tina
the charge in regard to the purchas
of furniture lis on par with tina
relating to the employment of add
tional clerks"
The statement OF Mr.. Ballinge
came as a surprise, as in the after
noon he evinced a disposition to ID
the matter go unanswered until tn
joint investigation committee is o.
ganized.

BRING POLITICAL UPHEAvAL
NEW CENSUS WILL CAUSE CON.
FUSION IN SOME STATES.
Reapportionment of the House Is
Awaited With Fear. What Win
the States Do with 1t?


WASHINGTON Members of CON
gress who are devoting themselves
to the subject of reapportionment
based on the new census figures have
come to the conclusion that there
will be considerable confusion in
the event that congress decides to
make the representation on the ratio
of one member of the house for each
two hundred and thirty-fve thous-
and population.
Under the law the states are re-
quired to redistrict at the first SEES
sion following a decennial censug.
The legislatures throughout the
country are expected to take up this
work without delay There is a pos
sibility that some of the legislatures
may not be able to agree upon the
method of redistricting. In the case.
of the states which will be entitled
to increased representation such dis
agreement would result in the cleo
ton of epresentatives-at-lar In
the states which lose one or more
representatives, however, the situa-
ton is entirely different, and one
that may lead to political upheav-
ais. In those stat the failure of
the legislatures to redistrict would
mean that the entire congressional
delegation would be elected at large.
This, Of course, would sweep away
the lines which had been drawn up
by discriminating legislatures with
view to gerrymandering votes for
the benefit of a particular party.
Among the states which are expected
to lose representatives if the ratio
fixed at two hundred and thirty
five thousand are Indiana, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas,
Maine, Maryland, Nebraska, North
Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Vir-
ginia.
If one or two of these states fail
ed upon redistricting legislation,
thus necessitating the election of all
members of the house at large in
stead of by districts, managers of
| the congressional campaigns Toald
be completely at sea, and such sit
uation might very easily swing the
control of the house from one party
to another, or give the party in pow
er an overwhelming majority.

The human body today has become

themselves with food when their

HEY ARE FIGHTING DEATH FOR YOU

tuberculosis, rabies, septicaemia,
glanders-these are some of the
contagious they face. Millions of
microbes come before them every
day. Is a soldier in battle taking
any more chance with his life?
Do these heroes die? Certainly
they do. The records of their deaths
do not appear under glazing head

.as quietly as they live and work

they had been striving to conquer,
and their names go down in the
martyrology Of medicine.
What Has Been Accomplished. =,
Is their sacrifice a useless one?
The question scarcely needs an an.

which these physicians are working
the death rate everywhere has been
cut down. Diptheria, the fearful
scourge that stripped the home OF
its laughing-hearted children, has
ceased to be the fatal peril that it
was. tuberculosis is weakening in
the persistent assault that science
is making upon it. TetanuS no long

have not been in vain.

WHAT DOCTORS ARE DOING IN
THE RATTLE WITH DISEASE.
Some of the Things Accomplished

The Heroes Who Experiment With
Germs and Serum Are as Great as
Those Who Give Their Lives More
Dramatically. The Tide of Battle
Turning in Favor of Science.
From time prehistoric the hero
has always come in for worship from
IBIS countrymen. SThe man capable
Of brave, daring and courageous
deeds has always received the plaud-
It's Of the world, and the pages OF
history are filled with the deeds of
men and women who, when the
cause was great, never paused to
think of themselves, but went forth
into the jaws of death, sacrificing
their all, that the race or the COM
munity might be benefited. We have
felt our hearts quicken and our
breath come in short gasps as, while
reading the pages of history, we fol-
lowed a hero on a perilOus mission,
and when we saw him willingly and
courageOusly die for the sake OF his
cause we have felt our souls rise
to keenest admiration. The hero
has always called for our sincerest
admiration, and among the figures
he holds the first place in our hearts.
/ There are heroes and heroes, ana
they vary as do the leaves Of the
forest There is the man who ran
through the town faster than the
water could follow him yelling to
the citizens to fly for their lives for
the flood was upon. There is the
man who, when the crew deserted
MIN, stuck to his ship until the last
Passenger was safe, and then sank to
Watery grave. There is the woman
who plucked some one else's chlId
out of the flames at the risk of her
own life, and there is the woman
VINO in the heat of battle took her
husbands place beside the cannon
and fought instead of weeping over
dis dead body. There is the engl-
leer who kept his hand on the throt-
lie and died that his passengers
might live.
And there are heroes of a less
Spectacular kind. There are men
and women who work unnoticed and
unknown, constantly in the face Oh
QIeath and danger, in order that red
Ger purer and healthier blood may
course through the veins of the hu-
man race, in order that the dread
dragon of disease may be beaten
Uack to his Shiny abode and kept
under subsection by the power OF
science. There are the nurses ana
physicians who handle the deadly
germs of disease that they may De
