The past has shown that Harvard,

reading public does not sift the
evidence for facts and forms err
roneous conclusions from hearsay.
These inquiries are supposedly
bipartisan so that no one party
can be held wholly responsible.
Washington has become the
Nations whispering gallery" and
there is much talk of intrigue
but little proof is offered. 1t is
a sorry commentary upon the in
telligence of responsible legisla-
tors that their activities should
have a corroding effect upon
public confidence. Rumor, it has
been said, is dangerous because
the word is no longer evanescent
breath but fastened and fixed by
types and print.
That the Investigators are
more DESTROYS of holding public
interest and increasing their own
popularity is obvious from the
program adopted by the Brook
hart-Wheeler committee. It is
customary to conduct hearings
during the morning hour in order
that members of Congress may
give their attention to problems
before the House or the Senate
in the afternoon. The newest
Senate committee departed from
this practice obviously for the
purpose of obtaining the fullest
publicity to their activities.
Hearings of the Senate Public
Lands committee into the Teapot
Dome affair are held during the
morning and the accounts of
these proceedings find their way
into the headlines of the evening
daily newspapers. Messrs.
Wheeler and Brookhart realize
apparently their Investigation"
would not obtain the prominence
they desired because of the COM
petition for space with Teapot
Dome story. 1t was a strategic
move on their part to conduct
the hearings in the afternoon in
order to receive the same atten-
ton and personal publicity from
the morning papers that the
Teapot Dome had been given in
the afternoon editions. The zeal

Washington. Mar. 19.-Political
ballyhoo artists are cognizant of
the fact that the Teapot Dome is
no longer holding public interest
and consequently have replaced
it with a new attraction-the
Senate investigation of Attorney
General Daugherty and his
friends. A dispassionate consid-
Grafton of the various investiga-
tons shows that the instigators
and promoters are not governed
entirely by altruistic motives. II
is necessary in a campaign year
to provide issues which will lin
ger in the public mind until
election day and political oppor'
tunists do not even stop at the
grave.
The Teapot Dome inquiry pc
tered out surprisingly. The net
result of several weeks "investi,
CATION" by the Senate Public
Lands committee was the admis.
sion from Edward B. Mclean
the principal witness, that he
had fibbed, which, by the way
was nothing new as the public
and committee were aware of the
contradictory statements made
by Mclean early in January.
Like the Select committee of the
Senate now investigating Attor-
ney General Daugherty, the Pub
lie Lands committee contem-
plates an inquiry into the affairs
Of deceased public men. If the
mania for investigation of the
avtivities of those who have gone
before continues, perhaps il
would be decidedly helpful for
the probers to employ experts in
phychical research as specially
commissioned liason agents,
Both committees are making
much ado over the personal
affairs of the late Jesse Smith,
an intimate friend of Daugherty,
and the late Jake Harmon, once
political parsonage in Okla
homa.
1t is easily shown that the ma
jority of the testimony taken in
these hearings is prevalent and
would be discarded in an actual
court case. Unfortunately, the

TALKS ON LANGUAGES

The address given by Prof,
Geo. II. Ellingson of the st. Olaf
College, Mortified, before the
parent-teachers meeting Friday
evening on the origin of all Ian
guages and the development of
the English language was an in
teresting and instructive one.
However, in order to cover the
subject more thoroughly it would
require a continued lecture of
several evenings duration and
Mr.. Ellingson was therefore ne
cessarily obliged to cover only
the principal points in his hours
talk.
Some of the points covered
were the conquering of England
by the Anglo-Saxons in 449 B. c.,
when the original settlers went
to Scotland and Ireland. From
that time on English developed
and was influenced by the VII
kings in the ninth and tenth CEN
turtles. Later the Normands, a
group of Norwegians who had
settled in France and hence ac-
quired much of the French Ian
guage, came to England. This
accounts for many French words
in the English language. Many
of the ordinary words in common
usage in the English language
originate from Scandinavia.
A short musical program was
also given Friday evening.

The local team had gone
through a hard battle just two
nights before with Sandstone
and were therefore tired and not
in good condition or they would
undoubtedly have made a better
showing.
At the end of the first quarter
the score stood six to six and it
looked like a tight game but
after that the Pine City boys
gained gradually.
II was a nice. clean. good
