II Is a mournful commentary on de-
narted statesmansip when the Ballinger-
Pfnchot investigation resulted in gross
Nv partisan decision on the part OF the
majority members OF that committee
They were suspected OF being just such
Judges last May, when I had the privi-
lexe OF attending one Of the sessions OF
.ha committee Those advocates or Sec
retary Ballinger were red and rate
during the entire session and you couio
ruare BY their intensity of their partisan
minds BY their frequent interruptions
and constant endeavors to shield the sec
Rotary
n was a momeatous day of the trial.
for I heard a witness. a sub-oficial under
tina secretary. tell of writing a report
~rhf~h Mr.. Ballinger laid before the pres
ssant and by some strange mischance IL
went TO the public as a report written or
prepared as the presidents own docu-
ment-
1t was thrilling moment when the ex-
pert attorney for the defense succeeded
4 getting the witness to reveal the au-
thorshIp of the document, and the witness
was scarcely less restless than the seven
partisan men who went into the invesu-
cation either pledged or determined TO
do exactly what they have done. namely,
whffewash the secretary at every point
IN the game
II the witnesses had sworn that a white
horse was q black COW they would have
been as readily sustained. and the major
ity report was apparently made up before
CATION begun
OH the pity of IL
Jusx such occurrences as these weaken
ara defeat all patriotic efforts TO purge
out official corruption
II in generally conceded that nothing
has been accomplished. except 10 empha-
sire the futility of congressional invesd-
cations Those seven members OF the
committee have indeed placarded them
selves. but as II appears, they will do
things under such circumstances which
would disgrace them as either judges or
advocates IN civil cases Perhaps IL Is
as well, because both reports viii be pre-
scented IN both house and senate and we
will see what we shall see. IL the stand
patters had been the victors in last
months elections this majority report
would be accepted IN both houses OF con-
gress without a doubt. but as the Bal

we may expect some exciting fireworks
before the thing is settled or finally laid
on the shelf
II the president had not become en-
tangled in the Ballinger mess the reports
would be easier 20 handle, but the good
natured executive seems to be easily led
along by the people who are after some
thing.
There can be no doubt but that Secre-
tary Ballinger was a milestone about the
neck OF the Republican factions in the far
west Like the sinner in Moses time.
Ballinger fed to the ark and swung on to
the horns OF the altar to save his bacon.
Too much Bailinger weighted down the
@. o p. elephant. and nobody talks
about second term for William II. Taft.
And most unfortunately. nobody Is exact
IL satisfied as to who does President
Tafts public writing. HIS long-winded
message Is devoid of tact or good taste.

Growing Old.

softly. or. softly the years have swept
by thee,
Touching thee lightly with tenderes'
care:
Sorrow and death did they often bring
nigh thee,
Yet they have left the beauty to wear
Growing old gracefully,
Gracefully fair.
Nearer each day to the pleasant home
light;
Far from the waves that are big with
commotion,
Under fun sail and the harbor in
sight,
Growing old cheerfully,
Cheerful and bright.
Past all the winds that were adverse
and chilling,
Past all the currents that wooed thee
Far from the port and the land of
the blest,
Growing old peacefully,
Peaceful and blest
Never a feeling of envy or sorrow,
When the bright faces of children are

Never a year from their youth wouldst
thou borrow,
Thou dost know what lieth between.
Growing old willingly,
Gladly I ween-
Rich in experience that angels might

Rich in a faith that has grown with
thy years;
Rich in a love that grew from and

Soothing thy sorrows and hushing thy

Growing old wealthily,

Hearts at the sound Of thy coming are
lightened;
Ready and willing thy hand to receive
Many a face by thy kind word has
