washington. d. G.. April LIT is
well within the possibilities OF every
man prominent in Official life at Wash
ington to have his name suggested
for speaker OF the house OF representa-
tives. While matters seems to be
patched up smoothly Cor the present
with Uncle Joe Cannon in the chair
IL is generally thought that even
though he completed the present
term he will not be again selected as
speaker and some OF the insurgent
members predict his downfall even be-
fore the end of this session.
So many names have been suggested
that the last man to join the list would
not excite much curiosity except for
the fact that he is not member Of the
house himself. 1t is Asher G. Kinds,
the present parliamentarian. His name
has been suggested by Representative
Poindexter and Victor Murdoch, who
declare that reforms" must be intro
duced. They have suggested his name
as a compromise can Iidate between
the democrats and insurgents, as he
W0utd EhtG lNAAtAOut PAVJuuASO IL uf
either party.
Representative Poindexter, who IS
one OF the prominent members of the
insurgent body, said:
This initial reform which we have
accomplished must be followed by
others. The whole trouble in which
the house find1 itself is caused by the
joining or the power of the speaker
with that of the leader OF the majority
THE English plan Of having an ex-
pert paI1iangents ~, iHStead 81 poll
tician as a presiding officer Is tie onl9
correct one.
4"As long as we selecl a party lead
er as speaker, just SO long will -1e
have partisan and unfair rulings from
the chair.
when the house adop.1,. the Morris
resolution the other day It was a vote
OF mo confidence in Speaker Cannon
and he should have resigned As he
did not do so, we should depose him
With that accomplished, i think we
should elect Mr.. Hinds., I believe q
ajority of the house would vote for
1t. Surely the democrats and the sn-
surgents who voted against Cannon
last Saturday, and, believe, d large
number of other insurgents, will vote
for it when the temper of the people
of the country is accurately judged on
this question"

Hot Clash IN BalIinger-P inchot
Investigation
WRANGLE NEARLY AN HOUR
NELSON MAKES ACCUSATION AN b
sRANDEls DEMANDS THAT IT
BE EXTRACTED AND STRICKEN
FROM THE RECORDS - COMMIT.
TEE BADLY SPLIT.

Washington, April 1.-The taking Of
testimony before the BalIinger- Pinchot
Investigating committee was interrupt
ed today by the most serious clash
among the senators and representa-
tives that has yet marked the proceed
ings. Chairman Nelson accused At
torney Brandeis of concealing certain
facts and brought from the latter the
demand that the remarks be stricken
from the record, together with the i'm
timation that IL the chairman followed
proceedings more closely he would see
where his remarks were unjust
Some of the democratic members of
the committee moved to direct the
chairman to withdraw his remarks and
II was this motion that brought on o
quarrel which lasted for nearly one
hour.
Senator Nelson refused TO withdraw
his statement. A motion to lay the
whole matter on the table was finally
adopted by a vote of 6 to 3, the demo-
Gratis demanding roll call.
Elmer e. Todd, the United States
district attorney at Seattle, Wash.
was the first witness at the morning
session testifying In behalf of Ballin-
ger. Todd contracted a number of
statements made by Special Agent
Jones as to efforts to secure criminal
proceedings in the Alaska coal fraud
cases.
5aIlinger's Counsel in Charge.
The hearing went on today with Sec
rotary Ballinger's counsel in charge of
the presentation or the evidence. The
taking Of testimony in behalf OF the
cabinet officer began last Saturday art
ernoon after Attorney vertrees had
made an opening statement that much
Of the testimony against BaIlinger
would be shown to be false. The adj
, dress sharply criticised James r. Car
field and clifford Pinchot for their
share ia the attack upon tho secre-
ltary
As the hearing progresses the indica4
lions multiply that the congressional
committee is so seriously split along
party lines that a unanimous report is
beyond the bounds of possibility. The
democratic members have gone so far
as to notify their republican colleagues
that the democrats will participate in
the executive sessions Of the commit
tee but only upon the understanding
that the democrats shall be free to an
nounce during the public meetings the
votes and contentious that take place
during the private sittings.
The executive sessions have not been
very harmonious. especially ON Satur-
day last when the question of compel
ing Secretary Ballinger to. testify as the
first witness for the defense" was un-
der consideration. Following this ses-
sion the democrats announced that with
the exception of Senator Purcell of
South Dakota they had voted in favor
of compelling the secretary of the in
terror to appear at once.

HELPING ONE ANOTHER.

OF all the joys which life affords.
From childhOOd's sunny morning
Until the palin5 western sky
OF nights approach gives warning
There's none that springs 50 swift and
sure
Delights less pure to smother,
As that which thrills and warns the
heart
When helping one another.
If days and night seem born to us
To be- consumed by sorrow,
If hourly we have vainly craved
4 happier tomorrow.
If from ourselves we loving turn
To some pain stricken brother,
TIL" SorIiest night finds dawnin2
bright
With helping one another.
'TiS selfish grief tnat dcadlieSt clinSS.
And ChriStlikc lessons needing
Wen find lifc'S devious. onward way
To SUMMER heights still leading:
Till when these bodies weak and worn
Hav" sought the common mother,
Our souls more joyful sing and soar
For having helped each other.

SILENCE Is GOLDEN.

The man who speaks a dozen tongues,
when all is said and done,
Don't hold match to him who knows
how to keep still in one;
The talker gets some good things here,
things much to be desired;
The silent man gets these and more,
and doesn't make folk tired.
Oh, you can have life's good things
brought right to you if you will;
Throw out your chest, put on a frown,
just keep still.
The man who's known as SILVER
tonsued" may fool folk for a spell;
Some few may take him at his word,
believe all he may tell
About himself for just a while; but
soon he'll make a slip,
And he'll be nicely put away, knocked
out by his own lip.
Oh, you'll get money in the bank and
SovereignS in your till.
If you'll put on thoughtful look and
just keep still
Full many men are dead and gone who
died for want of breath.
And many who while still on earth
have talked themselves to DEATH
More sharper than a serpent's tooth is
mans own reckless tongue
When hung inside an open face and all
too loosely swung.
Close up your face and ope your ears
and drink in to your fill
This sage advice: Throw out your
chest and just keep still.
In public lifes few lower rounds are
some who chew the rag.
And some from dpWV morn fill nj 5ht
sail in and punch the bag
Because they like the sound of it:
but list while you'll find
The louder is the noise it makes the
more it's filled with wind.
BE good and hush and you will get a
great reward, you will;
Throw out your chest and smile, or
frown-but just keep still.
Exchange.

He had lowered his weapon and
spoke very calmly and deliberately.
What" shrieked the girl. You
have the audacity TO stand there and
tell me you mean to commit a cold
blooded murder? Where are the po-
lice? A splendid place this must be to
live in, where a man goes out to kill
another as coolly as he'd eat his break

by. You're always getting murder
and the administration of justice mix
ed. | amt going to murder him. I'm
going TO execute him. He's done me
dirt, and if he amt killed he'll do
somebody else dirt. So for the good
of everybody he'd ought to be shot.
What do you care anyway? Amt no
relative of yourn, is he?"
why, no." she answered in some
confusion, "he isn't a relative exactly
that is, he
A gleam of comprehension shone
in Busby's eyes.
Come to think of it," said he, Il
heard something about his going to
get married. Be you the girl?"
She nodded.
Yes" she answered simply, I'm
the girl"
Then" said Busby, its clear
enough to my mind that in interfer
ing with this execution you're pre-
venting me from doing you a great
favor. Howsomever, if you stick to
it that you don't want him shot and if
you'll take him out of Nevada and
keep him out
The girl did not wait for him to
finish. She transferred her grasp from
Busby's arm to that Of harrington,
who during the preceding conversa-
ton had stood silent, his face white,
his limbs trembling, cold sweat bead
ing his forehead.
Come, Harry" she said imperious-
ly.
Meekly, with bowed head and down
cast eyes, harrington suffered her to
lead him aboard the train, which was
now, the track being clear, about to
move eastward.
Jim Busby sat down upon the edge
of the platform and burst into roar
of laughter. Long after the train had
disappeared around the curve below
the station the station master found
him there, his broad shoulders still
shaking with merriment

the station master, whats the joke?"

Busby. Did you hear her Come Har-

PRACTICE VS.. PREACHING.

1T is easy to sit in the sunshine
And talk to the man in the shade"
1t is easy to float in a well-trimmed
boat.
And point out the places to wade
But once We pass into the shadows
We murmur and fret and frown,
And our length from tine bank, we
shout for a plank,
or throw up our hands and go down
1t is easy to sit in your carriage,
And counsel the man on foot;
But get down and walk, and you'll
change your talk.
As YOU feel the peg in your boot.
1t is easy to tell the tOiler
How best he can carry his pack;
But no one can rate a burdens weight
Until ii has been on his back.
The up-curled mouth of pleasure
Can preach Of sorrows worth:
But give it Il sip. and q wryer lip
Was never made on earth.

GIRLS WRONGS.

| read not long ago about
The rights and wrongs of boys
And how they never have a chance
To make enough of noise.
If those same boys were in my place
ON music lesson day,
And had to make noise by rule,
/ wonder what they'd say.
I've very little fault to find
With common jolly boys:
Their games are really extra fine,
And | admire their noise.
But they are very ignorant
If they don't understand
That girls have wrongs as well as boys
And SnubS on every hand.
| do not mean sweet little girls.
Just big enough to pet.
But awkward, romping girls like me.
Not quite young ladies yet.

\ little once or twice;
But soon | found my brothers thought
That was not very nice.
They said they'd like my company
If 'twasn't for the looks;
But girls were made to play with dolls
And look at picture books.
Now that was such a dreadful snub.
l took a lengthy pout,
And acted like a naughty girl
I've not the slightest doubt
Whene'er l try to do my best.
l. show my greenness worse;
And Aunt JeruSha AIMS remarks
Are more acute and terse.
So when accomplished people call
With all their polished airs,
| beat a shy but sure retreat
Upon the garret stairs.
I've always heard that going down
Afforded poor relief:
And so | try by going up
TO soar above my grief
There can hear the boys without,
Piping their merry songs:
Oh! how long to be with them,
With them forget my wrongs.
