Minneapolis, Minn. "That Richard
A. Ballinger has not been true to the
trust reposed in him as secretary of
the interior, that he Is not deserving
of public confidence and that he
should be asked by the proper author
itles to resign his office."
The foregoing sums up the find
ings of the four democratic members
of the Balllnger-Plnchot congression
al investigating committee which was
made public Friday.
The republican members issued no
report.
Three republican members. Senator
Sutherland of Utah and Representa
tives McCall of Massachusetts and
Denby of Michigan refused to attend
the meeting. Finally the chairman
of the committee himself. Senator
Nelson of Minnesota, left the commit
tee room and fa'led to return.
Chairman Nelson gave notice that
a meeting would be held in Chicago
on next Tuesday. The democratic
members adjourned to meet again In
Washington on December 3.
Representative Ollie M. James of
Kentucky, one of the democratic
members, announced that all the de
mocrats would refuse to attend the
meeting of which Senator Nelson has
given notice. The republicans will
then be in the same positionthat the
democratic members and Mr. Madi
son found themselves.
Summarized, the democratic find
ings declare that the evidence shows:
"That there was no conspiracy
against Mr. Rallinger.
"That Gifford Pinchot and I R.
Glavis were faithful trustees of the
people's interests.
"That Mr. Ballinser's conduct on
certain occasions was intended to and
did have the effect of deceiving the
president.
'That Mr. Ballinser's action in hav
ing 'clearlistcr ?' o-called Cunn'n'--ham
Alaskan c-oal Iimls and ordering
them patented showed bad faith.
"That he advocated a bill to vali
date Alaskan coal claims alleged to
be fraudulent.
"That his action in acting as attor
ney in cases pending in the land
office while he was commissioner
was reprehensible.
"That he helped to force the Cun
ningham coal claims to a hearing be
fore the government was ready to
proceed.
"That he encouraged insubordina
tion in the reclamation service and
condoned- improper official conduct in
that connection."
Numerous official acts of Mr. Bal
linger are attacked. High praise is
given Gifford Pinchot. former chief
forester, and L. R. Glavis. former
chief of field division of the general
land office.
Mr. Madison's conclusions are:
"That the charges of Messrs. Glavis
Asks Mr. Cowles for Money.
The recent announcement that
Land Commissioner Cowles had
formulated rules and regulations
.. ?reby he would give away hit
salary is bearing fruit. Mr. Cowles
has received the following letter from
H. Flowers of Clebourne, Tex.:
"Dear Sir: Having learned you was
giving away your money to unfortu
nates and cripples, please give me a
few dollars. I am so needy and It
will be appreciated very much If not
but a few dollars if you can't give
any more."
An inspection or the rules and
regulations Issued by Mr. Cowles dis
closes that he intended to give away
only his annual salary as a state
officer, which Is $2,000 a year, and
that this is to be distributed only to
Nebraskans, which would be one
sixth of one per cent fcr'each person.
The Texas writer is declared to be out
of the jurisdiction of Mr. Cowles.

Some conclusions are tne result of
deductions. In these Instances the
conclusion is first formed, then the de
ductions are made backwards.
When a man arrives at the right
conclusion he confides to you that he
can always rely upon his own good
judgment: when he comes to the
wrong conclusion he excuses himself
by saying he was misled.
The difference between an opinion

what you think about a thing while a
conclusion is what you think you bave
thought about it
No one has ever come to a sntlsfac
