IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

Secretary Ballinger was before the
investigating committee at Washington
last week, and he gave it as his definite
judgment that CLAWS is a liar and that
his own conduct on all the c~ontroverted
matters has been officially and per-
sonally exemplary-all of which is en-
tirely satisfactory to those who are dis
posed to believe Ballinger,' says the
Nevada Representative. Meanwhile
the proposition holds that all the de-
partm entail officials who made trouble
about the %patenting of Alaska coal
lands are out of office, while those
officials who made a speciality of pat
enting thosec laims are still in office,
even tho the claims are not yet pat
ented."

departments of the government which
the administration Is seeking to ap-
ply, will penetrate to the remotest
sections of the country. Not only
is the work of the departments In

This means that preparations are

consultations are accomplished al
ready. Also It means that the bust
