Washington, May 20,-Attorney
vertres, representing Secretary Bal
linger today announced the defense"
would rest with the testimony already
in.
At this announcement the argu-
ments called for by the committee.
It was predicted the vote will be to
for the acquittal of Ballinger. Sen
afor Root will cast a vote despite the
protests of the minority. although he
left Washington today. Representa-
tive Madison is expected to write the
minority report, and 1t is also prob
able that Fletcher, Purcell, james and
Graham, democrats. will submit a
drastic opinion against Ballinger.
At the opening of the session today
Vertrees introduced testimony try
ing to show that CLAWS, who preferred
the charges, had peculiar interest In
securing government lands, through
his knowledge secured while govern
ment employee.
Brandeis called for several Witness
es and one, F. Spaulding, formerly a
stenographer under CLAWS testified
that one of CLAWS letters to Seattle
had been opened and then marked
opened by mistake but did not say
who had opened It, He also refuted
the testimony of Field Agent Christ
Jansen who testified he had never been
in the room of the federal building
where the CLAWS boxes were stored,
Spaulding said he accompanied Chris
tiansen to the room and searched for
a note book and that Christensen had
asked whose boxes they were, and that
he had answered CLAWS" He said
he left the room before Christensen.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Brandeis
concluded his cross examination OF
Oscar Lawler assistant attorney gen.
eral for the department of the inte-
rior. and author of the now famous
tentative draft for the president of a
letter dsmissing Special Agent l.. R.
CLAWS Commissioner Fred bennett
of the general land office also fin
ished his testimony. S. T. Perkins,
a Chicago officer of the reclamation
service, was the last witness of the
day.
important Admission.
What was regarded by the prose-
cution" as an important admission
was obtained from Lawler. Brandeis
was endeavorng to show that Law
ler retained an old grudge against
CLAWS that untitled him for the prep
aration of a judicial finding to assist
the president in passing upon the
CLAWS charges. He was questioning
Lawler along that line when the lat
ter volunteered the allegation that
CLAWS had demonstrated" himself
to be untruthful. This, he said, was
three years ago, when CLAWS had
made complaint to the land office
that Lawler was not competent tc
conduct the governments prosecution
Of certain land cases In southern
California.
Lawler was then United States at.
torney for the southern district OF
California and CLAWS was chief OF
the field division at Oakland. Lawlei
said the charges were investigated by
the department Of justice and were
found baseless. He went to trial with
the cases and obtained convictions
An attempt by Brandeis to secure
the production of all papers and doc
uments relating to this matter, or
file at the land office, was blocked
by the committee as involving a col
lateral investigation. Brandeis sale
he desired to show whether Secretar,

MILKING TO MUSIC.

Michigan farmer contends tba
cows give more milk while music !,
being rendered.
In order to test his theory Mr.. Led
erer. manager OF the Olympic theater
Chicago. lent his entire orchestra Of
nine instruments and went TO the farm
OF Mrs. Scott Durand n society won
an whose fad is dairying
| The sixty-One Jerseys and Holsteins
on the farm were MIXED to such tunes
as The Blue Danube" and other
soothing strains. The mixers claim
the nerves OF the cows were Gained
and their udders gave down mor1
readily
Music impregnated milk is a fact
not theory. according 70 this unique
experiment
In order TO further demonstrate the
matter the orchestra shifted from the
soft. alluring airs to ragtims music.
The cows grew FESTIVE.
Horrors exclaimed Mrs. Durand
"Stop it,
Then the musicians gllded into q Sc
lection from "Tosca.'' Il Live For
Love and Music" and the cows be-
came quiet and contented again.
Well, why not?
The entire party was convinced. and
Mrs Durand viii equip her barns with
several monographs, to be used during
milking time.
The Michigan farmer, with a smaller
number OF cows. has used a phono-
graph for two years.
Moreover
1t is the settled policy of both the
Michigan dairyman and Mrs. Durand
that exceedingly kind treatment of the
cows is essential TO the best results.
On either Of these farms the employee
who would kick or beat the COWS or
habitually employ abusive language
toward them is instantly discharged.
The moral is plain.
Leaving the discussion to the psy-
biologists, we may ask. II music and
kindness are productive OF good re-
suits as to cows, why not use ii on hu-
mans?
Those Key West cigar manufacture
ers who employ readers and musicians
TO entertain the employees while they
work at the benches are wise.
Music hath charms to soothe the
savage breast" and so has kindness.
Should we employ music and kind
ness less to our loved ones than to our
cows?
Some will laugh at the claim that
more milk and better milk can be got
from cows by means Of music and
kindness.
But then some will also deny that
music and kindness properly employed
will pay when applied to humans.

The tribunes in ancient Rome repre-
sented the people in much the same
way that the house OF commons does
In England and the house OF repre-
sentatives in this country. For long
time the putricians or arlstocrats of
Rome had everything their own way
But when the plebeianS tor. us we
would say. the plain peoples got their
tribune the reckless tyranny OF the
patricians ceased. The tribune had
great power. He could veto almost
any act and nullify almost any law

first secured their tribuues.-New York

THE LIAR.

Uncle Sam has no use i'm his army
for liar
Not long ago West Point cadet
was accused OF chewing gum while
on duty. That is minor ofense. pun
ishable by dement's or brief coufine-
ment.
But he lied about it.
That was different Lying is re-
garded by West Point authorities as a
heinous o1ense. The cadet was sum
marily dismissed in disgrace.
About the same time another cadet
was accused of having civilian clothes
in his quarters. also a minor offense.
The cadet lied about it.
And. in like manner. he was dis
missed in disgrace.
Uncle Sam wants no liars among his
army officers. and he therefore nips
the prevaricator in the bud Uncle
Sam wants dependable men. and he
knows liar is not dependable. The
liar is apt to foil in emergencies or be-
tray trust ut a critical time
Nor has the world any use for liar.
Commerce is built on confidence. Con
fidence is the basis for credit. and
credit is nine-tenths Of business.
Therefore there is no proper place in
business for liar,
1t is so Of all personal and Iublic re-
latiOns. The liar cannot be good
husband or son or citizen.
Why?
Because he has n funda mental weak
ness in his character. There IL moth
ing in him TO build upon. lie cannot
| be true. His falseness is sure TO crop
! out
Somebody has said. Lying is a Cue
art.''
II is not.
There is no art in It. Lying is n
clumsy continuance that breaks down
at every point. Nothing Is true that
fails. Lying fails.
II must be so.
Everything In the universe is at
tuned TO integrity. So long as two
and two are four aud cannot by any
possibility be five. SO long MS Il straight
line is the shortest line between two
points. just so long Will the crooked
ness OF the liar fail to fit.
The liar must be untrue TO every
thing. and everything must be untrue
to him.

the cardinal virtue OF truthfulness.

lndia's HoIidavs

India Is a country Of eternal holi-
days. Every sect and tribe. roughly
speaking. has its own festivals. and
these are religiOusly observed. On
such occasions the open spaces are
nlied with swings and merry-go-
rounds, and the booths where food and
sweetmeats are sold do roaring

the different racial types that come to
make holiday-here women yelled and
mysterious. there women who show
their faces and wear tight fitting
trousers instead of. skirts. The people
are or all shades-from the fair. al
most European complexion of the
northern type to the practically coal

Heart toHeart
Talks.
LIKE CHILDREN.

I'VE are like children. never knowing
what we want"
/ do not know who wrote that SEN
tence. but. whoever he was, he knew
human nature.
Let me illustrate:
Some time ago DIR. Oscar Eckstein OF
the University of Chicago got tired OF
the complex round of civilized life.
he went TO Idaho. alone. TO live for
time the simple life.
On barren and unfrequented por-
ton OF lake he built himself a shanty.
discarded civilized clothes and loafed
and invited his soul.
he was trying to answer the call of
the wild that was in him.
Eckstein wanted to get away from
everybody. He spent two hours in the
water every day, lounged on the sandy
beach as long as he wished. ate when
he was hungry and obeyed only the
primal instincts.
So far so good, But
A few weeks after he had built his
hut the professor made a startling dis
covery-as startling as that Of poor old
Robinson Crusoe when he found the
human footsteps in the sand.
The learned doctor, who had turned
primitive, actually stumbled upon one
OF the richest deposits of gold ever
found In Idaho.
Heigh-ho.
Here was a problem-what to do?
Should he forget the gold and go on
as before?
Observe this:
Almost in the twinkling Of an eye
the glitter OF the gold nuggets had
blinded Eckstein's ewes to Pastor
Wagners gentle teachin9of tho Simple
life.
The outcome?
DIR. EckstetJ1-sdonnad the garments
OF civilization and concluded to try the
gold-cnre for his ennut.
Returning To- Chicagxs-EE his sam
pies, ne was able before the summer
was oyer TO sell his claim for u for
tune. BE went back to the fatherland
with his money and ar-last reports was
negotiating for baronetcy.
We are like children.
L1ke little children, we play with
some toy for awhile and then discard
1t for one that is more glitterinC. And
the glittering toy in turn fails TO sat
isfy.
Today we are lured by some sweet
ideal. Tomorrow we clutch at the
golden notes in the air or grovel for
them in the dust
Shall we know what we really want
when we get to heaven?
