THE MISSING LINK.

It seems probable that the predictions of those who are close to things in Washington will be borne out. These predictions have been constant since the investigation commenced. And the prediction is, that Ballinger will have to be whitewashed again. That this is made more imperative from the deplorable features which have linked the whole administration in sundry ways with this whole Glavls-Pinchot incident; Wilson, Wlckersham, Taft. Ballinger; makes it all the more essential that the people should know the principal things in this affair. It seemed for a long time as if the Ballinger crowd had been able to suppress the real truth. There is undoubtedly a mass of evidence somewhere damning to Ballinger. Brandeis has been refused evidence time and again of which he knew the existence but could not obtain through the attitude of repression maintained by the Ballinger Influence inside the wheels of government.

But the missing link came. Ballinger has been protesting his entire Innocence of the whole affair even ignorance that the Morgan-Guggenheim people were to grab all Alaska. But the missing link came out despite the efforts of the powers that prey. Listen: PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL. Mr. Dear Thompson: Last Sunday I was the guest of Mr. George W. Perkins at Yonkers. Mr. Perkins is at the head of the house of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., as you perhaps know. He told me he had arranged for a Bpecial boat to take himself and party, including his family to Alaska for the investigation of the feasibility of exploiting Alaska in railroad construction and in other lines in which he is deeply Interested. He will sail from Seattle about the middle of July. He is desirous of having an engineer accompany him who is not allied In any way to railroad interests or private connection which would in any way influence his judgment and he has been insisting on my recommending some one familiar with the western country to take this voyage with him and to advise him. Naturally I could think of no one so well equipped as you to fill this office and as this connection is one of importance and the trip would be one of great pleasure and profit, it has occurred to me that you would enJoy this form of vacation. On receipt of this letter please write whether it will be worth- while for Mr. Perkins to consider it possible for you to accompany him. I hope you will not understand by the suggestion above that I have in any sense abandoned the hope of securing your services in the matter about which we conferred in Seattle. I anticipate that not later than September I will be able to formally present the matter to you. Sincerely yours, R, A. BALLING KR, MY. R. H. THOMPSON, Kngineer, Seattle. Ballinger may be innocent, ignorant, and of failing memory, but he knew that the Junior partner of J. P. Morgan desires to know the "feasibility of exploiting Alaska." He knew it because he was a guest in his house called in for consultation. Mr. Taft is shouldering the whole thing Ballinger will be whitewashed again doubtless but the American people now know all that they need to know. Ballinger knew all about the steal and aided and abetted in the "exploitation of Alaska."

We are willing for people to save money, if they will quit talking about it. It is our theory that salads offer an excuse for spoiling a lot of otherwise nourishing and palatable foods. It Is only when the baby is particularly cross that a woman reminds

her husband that he was once a baby himself.

Every man thinks he is entitled to eat as much as he can buy. That's the reason stomach complaint is so common. No girl is entirely happy and satisfied with her lover if she continues to say her prayers during her engagement. It is possible for a woman to set so accustomed to her husband's explosions that she can always come down in one piece. , One of tfce first delusions a young husband gets rid of is that his bride's numerous wedding gowns mean she won't have to have any more clothes for some time. A New York dispatch says the bustle is coming back. H6w true it is that nothing in this world is ever wasted! The turban, which is going out, can now slide further down, and make a reappearance.

In books, as well, our loves are like; how pleasantly you've glowed As clinging to Mulvaney's hand we've trod the Barracks Road, Or gone with Field to Sabine Farm and lands of "Just Pretend" Whatever faults you have j ou choose the best of books, my friend. A life of sweet companionship with not a thing to mar No ouarrel. words or differences to leave a single scar No poor regrets for what has passed or what our futures hold. But solace in the thought that we, together, shall grow old. I always crave your fellowship until the end of day When comes the pattering of feet from out the bedroom way.

History of the Mississippi Valley

bemi-Annual An Elaborate Proaram Has Been Arranged Which Will Interest All Americans in the Great Middle Western States from Gulf to Lakes. (American News Service) Iowa City. Iowa, May 23. More inter esting details of the thrilling and ro mantic history of the Mississippi val ley will be brought to light and record ed at the semi-annual meeting of the Mississippi Valley Historical associa tion to be held in this citv May 2t-27. This body was organized three years ago for the purpose of conducting an extensive research into the history of the Mississippi valley and encouraging the study of the history of this wonderful section. The society has had a remarkable growth and its membership which was originally composed of seven men, now includes thousands of individuals representing seventy-one colleges, universities and normal schools, sixty seven public and state libraries and forty-four historical societies. Not only has the organization made rapid progress in its membership but its work has been most commendable and valuable not only to the people of the Mississippi valley, but of the whole United States. Interesting and valuable records of the early settlers of this region have been uncovered by various members of the organization who hav? spent their time and money in this work. At the semi-annual meetings papers are read by tne various members who have been engaged in this work of research, and the proceedings of the meetings are afterwards published in book form. The first volume which has already been issued, treats of the explorations of Verendrye, the Mandan Indians, the study and writing of history In the Mississippi valley, the diplomatic correspondence of Augustus Caesar Dodge, and the sectional elements in the early history of Milwaukee. The second volume which is now in press, contains remarks on the study of aboriginal American history, did Coronado reach the Missouri river or enter the state of that name, the significance of th British attack on St. J Louis in 17S0, and the early trade and travel in the lower Mississippi valley. The works of research, however, is not confined to the Mississippi valley, and one of the large projects which the association is contemplating is the exploitation of the archives of the other countries in order to obtain more information on the early settlers of this region. ' In England, in France, in Spain, in Cuba, are hundreds of thousands pf manuscripts, official and private which throw light on the development of the great heart of the North American continent. There are memoirs of explorers, dead now two or three hundred years, copies of instructions to French officials assigned to posts all the way from the great lakes to the gulf, letters and reports from Carondelet and Gayoso de Lemos and Morales, and scores of other governors, intendants and other officers in New Spain. There are French manuscripts relative to the conspiracy of Aaron Burr and the machinations of General Wilknison and Senator Blount. There are descriptions of the Missouri river and the tribes that lived upon it written two hundred years ago. To make calendars and transcripts of this foreign material is a task of immense proportions. The manu$100,000 YEAR IN GOLD BRICK GAME Alleged Confidence Men Held in Bail After Philadelphia Hearing. $25,000 FROM ONE DUPE POSTAL INSPECTORS PROMISE TO PROVE THAT THE MEN WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR A NUMBER OF SWINDLES. ' Philadelphia, May 23. Mythical gold mines and gold tinted iron bricks netted George W. Post andiE. A. Starkloff, said to be two of the most notorious confidence men in the country more than $100.iX since July of last year according to government officers who testified against the men at a hearing before United States Commissioner Craig. At its conclusion. Commissioner Craig held the men in $23,000 bail for a further hearing June 1, bv which time it i3 believed evidence connecting the men with other swindles will be produced. To pay $25,000 for three supposed gold ingots and for three days pay to two men to watch the "precious metal," only to find upon his arrival in England that his believed wealth was junk, was the experience of H. Kenneth Lee. of No. 24 Cleveland Square, Hyde Park, London, who is one of the score or more of victims. On the steamer on which Lee sailed also went a letter, sent, it is said by StarklofT, which Lee received upon his arrival home and which told him that he had been duped. The letter was signed E. A. S. Lee was induced to come to America by a letter which said that his father had once befriended a poor man who since had struck a rich mine and had set apart half for the elder Lee. He

scripts relative to the United States as a whole are being scientifically investigated and classified by experts sent out by the Carnegie institution at Washington. The Mississippi valley Historical Association is better fitted than any other organization for carrying on similar investigations in the material relative to the Mississippi valley. An elaborate program has been prepared by the officers of the organization for the forthcoming meeting at Iowa City, which should attract lovers of the history from the gulf to the great lakes. On May 25, the day previous to the opening of the meeting, there will be a gathering of the State Historical society of Iowa and affiliated organizations. The morning session will be presided over by Euclid Sanders, president of the state historical society of Iowa, and at the afternoon session, Mr. Benjamin F. Shambaugh, superintendent of the society will preside. On Thursday, May 26, the first ses being dead, his son came over, produced $25,000 as an evidence of good faith and received the gold brick in return. Mr. Pooley Brown of the Adelphi hotel, London, was swindled out of $20,000. and Captain Richard Bagge, Kings Lynn, England,, gave up $500 on the game which, caught Lee. Postal Inspectors Cortelyou and Ryan, of this city, and W. S. Meyer, of New York, ran StarklofT and Post down. A shirt which StarklofT left in a hotel and which was made here, lead to his capture. That StarklofT wrote all the letters to these men was established by Inspector Mayer, who testified that the writing was identical with the handwriting of a check which StarklofT attempted to destroy when he was arrested. This check StarklofT is alleged to have said, is'his own personal check. The pieces have been preserved. Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.isht, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye "A GOOD HOUSEKEEPER. "And how do you like vour fine new home. Will?" The question was asked of a- neighbor's boy, who replied: "I don't like it. It's too fine. Why. our house is just like a Pullman sleeping car inside. I'm afraid to touch anything. I like to come over to your bouse to play with Harry because you are not so particular, and we can romp and have a good time." Said the woman who asked the question, "I was almost tempted to tell Will's mother what he said, but of course I couldn't do that." Will's mother is notably a good housekeeper. And poor woman! Her new bouse, beautifully finished. Is kept spic and span,; the shades of the best rooms are tightly drawn, and the piano is always closed. The silver and cut glass on the sideboard require almost one day's attention each week.

The family eats its meals on the kitchen table to save mussing up the dining room. Yes, the woman is keeping bouse with a vengeance. But there are some things she will not keep if she is not carefuL One of them is her boy, and the other Is her husband. The boy is profoundly disgusted with his home. It is a place to be admired, not to live in. No neighbor boys are seen in that bouse. They might scratch the furniture. And so the young hopeful either goes to visit other boys or plays in the streets.' And the hysband? There are evidences that he is growing tired of coming home to find instead of a wife a housekeeper in a print wrapper, a sweeping cap and a feather duster. Anyway, it is noted he comes home late and spends apparently as little rime as possible in his pretty home. Poor husband!

But when that boy grows up will he care more for an uncomfortable home or a downtown club or the saloon? Will he care for a mother who thinks more of her hall rugs than ber boy? And that husband, with social instincts and a good heart, who has worked hard to build the beautiful bouse for his wife, what will the years finally bring to him?
