N0CASE AGAINST
Mr.. bALLINeER
Majority Report ElOnerates Sec
rotary Of interior.
HIS ACCUSERS ARE SCORED
"Inspired by a Deep Feeling of Ami.
mostly Built Upon Supposed
Difference in Policy"

Washington, Dec. 8-Yindicating
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger up.
on all the charges brought against him
and condemning his accusers as hay.
ing been inspired by a deep feeling OF
animosity built upon a supposed diff
ference in policy respecting conserva.
ton, a majority of the congressional
committee which investigated the so
called Ballinger-Pinchot case submit.
ted its report to congress.
After stating that the evidence pre-
scented related in the main to charges
of various kinds against Mr. Ballinger
and that these came chiefly from two
sources-L. R. CLAWS and Clifford Pin
chot-the majority announced the fol
lowing conclusion:
"The evidence has wholly failed to
make out a case. Neither any fact
proved nor all the facts put together
exhibit Mr. Ballinger as being any
thing but competent and honorable
gentleman, honestly and faithfully
performing the duties of his high Of
flee with an eye to the public interest," y
The report was signed by Senators
Knute Nelson, chairman; Frank P
Flint, George Sutherland and Elihu
Root, and Representatives Samuel w.
Mccall of Massa chusetts, vice chair
man; Martin E. Olmstead of Pennsyl-
vania and Edwin DENLY OF Michigan,
all Republicans.
MaJority's Specific Findings.
The report makes the following
specific findings:
That tie charges and insinuations
against Secretary Ballinger in regard
to the Cunningham coal land entries
or other coal land claims in Alaska
are not justified and his conduct in
respect thereto is not justly censur-
able.
THAT the restoration of water DOW
er sites by Secretary Ballinger were
made in good faith and not in enmity
to the government and that no injury
appears to have been done to the gov
eminent and the cause of conserva-
ton by either the restoration or with
drawals.
THAT, in view of the opinion of the
attorney general, he was justified in
abandoning the use of the so called
water users cooperative certificates
in connection with the reclamation of
arid lands.
THAT the administration of the
reclamation law presented features
justly subject to criticism. No. unfair
iticism or improper conduct on Sec
rotary Ballinger's part has been
shown nor any action by him not with
in the sound discretion of the head of
the interior department in the faithful
performance of his duty.
THAT he is not an enemy of, nor
hostile to, reasonable and judicious
policy of conservation, and that no
ground whatever has been shown JUS
tifying the opinion that he is not a
faithful and efficient public officer

The following interesting article con-
corning Samuel S. Sherman appeared in
the Boston Globe of last Sunday:
One of the most interesting men ever
graduated by New England college is
the venerable Samuel 5. Sherman, '3S,
the present senior alumnus of Middle
bury college, Middlebury, Vt. He is a
resident of Chicago and has been a Bap-
fist minister, college, seminary and in
stitute president, carrier of northern
ideals to the antebellum south, a success
full business man and lastly a gentleman
who has made his leisure effective for
good.
Born in Rupert, one of the beautiful
hill towns of southwestern Vermont, in
1915, he entered Middlebury at an early
age and received its degree with the lar
gest class up to that time.
Armed with his sheepskin he started
south. 1t took him nearly six weeks and
gave him no end of adventure to reach
Alabama.

Yet there was already university of

80 YEARS OF SUCCESS.
William n. Sheldon Offersls Rem.
edy forICatarrh. The Med
icine CostsyN othing if
il Fails.

When a medicine effects a successful
treatment in very large majority of
cases, aud when we offer that medicine
on our own personal guarantee that it
will cost the user nothing if it does not
completely relieve catarrh, it is only
reasonable that people should believe us,
or at least put our claim to a practical
test when we take all the risk. These
are facts which we want the people to
substantiate. We want them to try
Rexall Mucu-Tone, a medicine prepared
from prescription of physician with
whom catarrh was a specially, and who
has record of thirty years of enviable
success to his record.
We receive more good reports about
Rexall Mucu-Tone than we do of all
other cararrh remedies sold in our store,
and if more people only knew what
thoroughly dependable remedy Rexall
Mucu-Tope is, it would be the only
catarrh remedy we would have any de-
mand for.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is quickly absorbed
and by it's therapeutic effect tends to dis
infect and cleanse the entire mucous
membraneous tract, to destroy and re-
move the parasites which injure the
membraneous tissues, to soothe the ir-
ritation and heal the sore ness, stop the
mucous discharge, build up strong
healthy tissue and relieve the blood and
system of diseased matter. Its influence
is toward stimulating the muco- cells,
aiding digestion and improving nutrition
until the whole body vibrates with
healthy activity. In a comparatively
short time it brings about noticeable
gain i'll weight, strength, good color and
feeling of buoyancy.
We urge you to try Rexall Mucu-Tone,
beginning treatment today. At any
time you are not satisfied, simply come
and tell us, and we will quickly return
your money without question or quibbe
We have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes,
80 c. nts and 81 90. Remember you can

hitched their chairs closer to the fire
as tierccr blast ratified the windows.
During a temporary lull in the storm
Cap'n 81 futile broke the silence With
the following narrative:
"'Twas jest sech a Christmas eve
ms this. along back in the eighties,
when ! was roundin' old Hatteras in
the good ship Tirzah Ann You recol-
lect her, don't you? Hailed from Green
port and could smash through any gale

asked. "How did you escapeT

SENIOR ALUMNUS OF MIDDLEBURY
COLLEGE.

in the Class of 1888.

sity, and, after the war, president of
Columbia university, New York, and the
founder of Barnard college, the woman
annex of Columbia.
Three years later the Alabama state
Baptist convention determined to found
college of its own at Marion and asked
Mr.. Sherman to assume charge of it.
This venture, first known as the Howard
literary and theological institute, be-
came in time simply Howard college
and rapidly became one of the import
ant educational centers of the south.
Mr.. Sherman started his work at How
ard with nine boys, but the number of
students was soon greater and in 10
years the project was thoroughly estab-
lished
AT that time Mr.. Sherman decided to
purchase the school property known as
Brentwood, near La Grange, and left
Howard to conduct his own institution.
His going away from Marion was sig
nalized by public meeting called to
pay tribute to his success there, and
the college itself has brospered on the
principles he inaugurated. 1t was later
removed to Birmingham and for 10
years had as president DR.. j. NJ. L. Curry,
who became well known as agent OF
the Peabody and Slater funds for edu-
cation in the south. The college now
has 200 students.
Brentwood occupied Pres Sherman's
energies only three years, after which
he returned to Marion to purchase and
take charge of Judson institute, pop
ular female seminary, which under his
management became the most import.
ant of its kind in the state. He built
1t up on the most liberal lines both as to
studies and the accomplishments taught.
and as reward found that his school
secured noteworthy popular support,
with an accompanying remarkable fl
nancial success.
Time had gone on until it was 1859,
and the passions that resulted in the
civil war were coming to the fore. Po-
litical feeling in the south was rapidly
approaching the exploding point, and
even naturalized northernor was not
treated quite the same as a genuine
southron. Pres. Sherman OWNED this
situation without any overt expression
of it coming to his attention, and de-
cided the south at that time was no
place for him and his growing family
So he quietly and sagaciously disposed
of all his property interests while yet
there was time and with many regrets
set out for the north.
He went to Milwaukee, For three
years he was in charge of the Milwaukee
female college, which had been founded
by Miss Catherine Beecher. At the end
OF that time he gave up teaching and en-.
tered upon business career.
Soon after the war Mr.. Sherman re-
turned to Alabama for short time and
was given an enthusiastic public recep-
ton. being hailed as "Marion's most en-
inent citizen
He devoted the rest of his life to
business, chiefly in Chicago, and is
passing his last days in that city sur
rounded by his relatives in a pleasant
home.
