in response to a special dispatch
from Wallace. and other articles bear
ing on the supposed candidacy for
governor Of B. F O'Neil, and in which
Harry McKinlay is quoted. among
other things. in reference to the
recent meeting Of commissioners:
Il have seen the dispatches from.
Wallace and the interview of Mr.
McKinlay in the Wallace Press. and

contents. 1t is a matter of regret
that politics should be interjected at

Plymouth Rock.

Plymouth rock has become an object
Of veneration in the United States be-
cause Of its interesting historical asso'
Citations. As is well known. it's the
rock or ledge on which the pilgrims
are believed to have landed when they
first stepped from their boats in the
harbor of what is now Plymouth,
Mass. In 1915 part Of the rock was
removed to the vicinity Of Pilgrim
hall, but was afterward restored to its
original site and is now under the
stone canopy that surmounts the, main
rock on Water street. Charles Simmer
said, "From the deck of the Mayho,w-
er, from the landing at Plymouth rock.
to the senate Of the United States is a
mighty contrast covering whole spaces
of history hardly less than from the
wolf that sucked Romulus and Remus
to that Roman senate which on curule
chairs swayed Italy and the world"

of agriculture, whose conduct is in
question, may appear and be heard
before the said joint committee, or
any subcommittee thereof, in per-
son or by counsel"
The wording Of this amendment to
the resolution authorizes secretary
of the interior Ballinger: Clifford
Pinchot; former government fores-
ter; Overton w. Price, former as
sistant forester; Former law officer
Shaw of the bureau of forestry; and
l.. R. CLAWS, former field agent of
the general land office, to be repre-
scented by separate counsel.
Instead Of requiring the investi-
cation to be concluded during the
present session of congress, it is pro-
vided that report may be made to
the present congress, which will
make it possible for the hearing to
continue during the summer and the
report to be delayed until as late as
March next year.
In addition to authority conferred
on the courts to punish for contempt
any witness who may decline to an
swer questions, or who defaults in
any manner, it is provided that when
witness is declared in contempt he
shall be deemed erilty of a misde-
meanor. Upon conviction the pun
ishment would be a fine not to ex-
coed $1,000 nor to be less than 500
or Imprisonment in a common Jail
for not more than one year nor less
than one month.
