WASHINGTON. II. e. July 25-
This is a day OF Investigations in Con
gress. luquiSitions multiply with each
passing week of Democratic rule in
the House Of Representatives.. There
are now twenty-siN inquiries in pro
gress and the eud is not yet. The
Democrats in Congress have propa-
by q month more in which to instf-
tute more probes, and Their. is an
even chance that more probes VII
j." Instituted
For the first time since the days
Of Cleveland the Democrats are In
control of the House, and therefore
for the first time they have inquisi-
tprial powers That body can start
an investigation. summon witnesses,
send for papers and persons, ana ex-
pend money without the consent or
concurrence Of the Senate
This fact made investigating easy.
All that - necessary is that the Dem

House and pass IL. Thereupon the
in0uisition il on and moro Republi-
'an office holders begin TO tremble.
MANY Already started.
by this process twenty six separate
nyestlgations have been started They
we're designed 10 secure a great va
rlety of facts. In the first place, all
the executive departments OF the
government needed attention. It was
taken for granted by the Democrats
that because the Republican parry
had been running the country for
decade, misrule had grown up
throughout the entire government
There was some reason for this
belief When the Republican party
took control of the government FOR
the first time following the Civil War
It was found that abuses of the gross
est sort had grown UP. There were
many Investigations and many sensa-
tional disclosures The most import
ant Result Of this period of probing
was the implication Of Secretary OF
War kelkuap in crooked deals He
was atterward impeached and re-
signed,
Then. too. when the House went
Democratic again for the second time
since the war, Inquiries were started
and while ne high officials were found
guilty 81 wrong much valuable po-
htical material was unearthcd. anc

A coMMENDABLE BILL

The bill, printed in full in another
section of The World, proposed by the
Audubon Society of this city, setting
aside the islands in Devils lake as a
bird reserve should meet with the
hearty support of every sportsman in
the state. Statistics show woeful
depopulation of the aerial world, each
birds death ordinarily coming as the
result of molestation. With a refuge
or retreat the birds would be protected.
would increase in number and in quail
ty and might perhaps lead to the estab-
lishment of similar retreats in other
parts of the state.
A request to our representatives at
Bismarck will show them the desire of
the people here to have the bill passed
and will aid them in soliciting the sup.
port of their colleagues.
