HOLDING BACK THE
BALLINGER VERDICT

Rep. DENLY of Detroit, one OF the
regular" Republican members or the
Ballinger investigating committee. be
lieves that the charges against the
secretary Of the interior have been
disproved. He has the courage to say
so publicly. He has made known his
opinion because the minority of the
committee published its report.
What Is there to prevent the resi-
of the regular" Republicans on the
committee from doing the same
thing? They disagree with the mi.
neritys findings. II they believe, as
Rep. DENLY does. that Secretary Bal
linger should be indicated, why not
make public their conclusions? What
is there in the way of their making

TWO Vary Old Ladies'.

We have heard great deal lately
about long-lived people, but it is prob
able that the oldest two people in the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named Babavasiika.
The former lives at Posem. in Prus-
sian Poland. and was born on Febru-
airy 81, 1855. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old
The latter, however, is nine months
her senior, having been born in May,
1884.
She is still fairly hale old woman,
and for nearly one hundred years
worked in the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100, and these now
make her joint allowance. She lives
at the village Of Bavelsko, whose
neighborhood she has never quilted
during the whole of her long life. She
remembers events which happened at
the beginning Of last century much
more clearly than those Of the last
40 years. Dundee Advertiser.
