THE VOICES.
“The world is God’s, not thine; let
Him
Work out a change, if change must be;
The hand that planted best can trim
And nurse the old unfruited tree.
The meal unshared is food unblest;
Thou hoard’st in vain what love should
spend,
Self-ease is pain; thy only rest
Is labor for a worthy end.
Faith shares the future’s promise;
Love’s
Self-offering is a triumph won;
And each good thought or action
moves
The dark world nearer to the sun.
Then faint not, falter not, nor plead
Thy weakness; truth itself is strong;
The lion's strength, the eagle’s speed
Are not alone vouchsafed to wrong.
Thy nature which through fire and
flood,
To place or gain finds out its way,
Hath power to seek the highest good,
And duty’s holiest call obey!
So haply, when thy task shall end,
The wrong shall lose itself in right,
And all thy week-day darkness blend
With the long Sabbath of the light.”
—Whittier.
TIIK DEVELOPMENT OF THE BAL
LINGER CASE.
The country at large will view with
much satisfaction the steps that have
been so far taken for a thorough in
vestigation of the charges against the
Secretary of the Interior. The persis
tent attacks upon his official integrity
have created a feeling of uneasiness
that has been confined to no section
and to neither party. The American
public is loath to believe that any man
honored as Sect. Ballinger has been
would so far forget the dictates of
patrotism and honor as to align him
elf, secretly or otherwise, with men in
tent on plundering the people. While
the charges that have been made are
of the most direct character, and ap
parently supported by a wealth of evi
dence, and while faith in the integrity
of the cabinet officer has been under
mined, shaken if not destroyed, no
one whose love of country rises above
partisan feeling can do otherwise than
hope that he will be able to repel the
attacks, prove his inocence of wrong
doing, in spirit or in open deed, and
sustain the long unblemished reputa
tion American cabinet officers have
held of freedom from the taint of cor
ruption.
A current article gives this resume
of the events that have lead up to the
adoption of the resolution providing
for a committee of twelve members of
Congress to investigate the entire pro
cedure of the Interior Department
with reference to the public lands:
The trouble had its beginning in the
failure of President Taft to retain
James R. Garfield in the cabinet. Cen
tering in the interior department, over
which Mr. Garfield had presided, were
all the questions having to do with
curbing corporations and individuals
that had boldly exploited the public
domains for years .gathering in nat
ural resources and using them for pri
vate gain. Mr. Garfield was busy en
forcing the Roosevelt conservation
policies as they applied to interior de
partment matters at the time. Mr. Taft
was elected President. Richard A.
Ballinger was named to succeed him,
and then the conservationists began to
look askance.
Following the Inauguration of Mr.
Taft, the visits of Mr. Pinchot to the
White House became few and far be
tween. It had been his habit to see
Colonel Roosevelt almost every day.
He saw President Taft once a month.
Mr. Taft calmly invited him to take up
all departmental matters with Secre
tary Wilson, his chief, and not to bring
them to the White Hou:e. In a little
while the headquarters oi t e National
Conservation Association, formed dur
ing the latter part of the Roosevelt ad
ministration, Mr. Pinchot being at its
head, were moved from the forest bu
reau to separate offices up town.
Secretary Ballinger, on taking hold
of his office, found 3,673,189 acres of
public land withdrawn on account of
conservation, between Jan. 7 and Feb.
27, 1900, or just before the Roosevelt
administration came to an end. Be
tween March 30 and April 10, 1909,
Mr. Ballinger restored all this land to
public entry, and the President ap
proved the act. At this the lid flew off
the kettle, and ever since the kettle
has been at the boiling point. The
Roosevelt admirers took this restora
tion as evidence of a departure by the
Taft administration from the Roose
velt policy of conservation, and the
friendly newspapers and other publi
cations began to publish attacks on
Mr. Ballinger. Mr. Pinchot shared in
these misgivings, and told various
friends that the conservation policy of
Roosevelt had gone to pot.
It was in due time carefully explain
ed that the Roosevelt land withdraw
als above referred to had been made
without a vestige of authority in law.
The explanation was not satisfactory.
Ballinger replied by pointing to a par
agraph in the last annual report of
Mr. Garfield as secretary of the inter
ior. That paragraph stated it as Mr.
Garfield’s belief that it was proper for
the President to move in the interest
of the people in certain cases, even
though there was nothing in the law
permitting such movement.
“I am not in sympathy with that
proposition,” Mr. Ballinger said. “I
will not permanently withdraw land
from entry where there is no authority
of law for that action.”
Then came the charges of collusion
between Balinger and the Guggenheim
and other interests.
It takes a wise man to sit still and
run a farm.
© © © THE ONLY REMEDY
FOR BLOOD POISON
The first symptom of Contagious Blood Poison is usually a little sore or
ulcer, so insignificant that often no attention is given it. But when the
blood becomes more fully infected with the virus the mouth and throat get
eoie, glands in the neck and groin swell, and sometimes ulcerate, forming
sores and ulcers, the hair comes out, copper colored spots appear on the
body, and where the disease is allowed to remain in the system the poison
frequently penetrates deeper and attacks the bones. S. S. S. is the true
antidote for Contagious Blood Poison—the only remedy that is able to get
at the very root of the trouble and remove every particle of the virus from
the circulation; at the same time S. S. S. acts with upbuilding and tonic
effect on every portion of the system. As soon as the system gets under the
influence of S. S. S. the symptoms begin to disappear and soon a perfect
cure is made. S. S. S. can be used in the privacy of one’s own home and a
permanent cure effected. To aid those who wish to cure themselves at
home we have prepared a special Home Treatment book which contains
much valuable information to Contagious Blood Poison Sufferers. With
the aid of this book and the use of S. S. S. a cure can be effected in every
case. We will send this book, and also any medical advice desired free to

Feeding Farm Hands.
! Every farmer's wife knows what tre
mendous appetites farm hands usually
have; but while they eat well they
work well, too.
Here’s a good suggestion about feed
ing farm hands. Give them plenty
1 of Quaker Oats. A big dish of
- Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and
cream or milk is the greatest break
• fast in the world for a man who needs
, vigor and strength for a long day’s
work. The man that eats Quaker Oats
plentifully and often is the man who
does good work without excessive fa
! tigue. There is a sustaining quality
r in Quaker Oats not found in other
, foods, and for economy it is at the
head of the list. To meet needs of
those in different climates Quaker
Oats is packed in regular size pack

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is

a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Ca

directly upon the blood and mucous

stroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
