IMPEACHMENT OF AltCHBALD.
That our present governmental
methods furnish ample facilities for
reaching and punishing erring mem
bers of the judiciary has been con
vincingly proved by the Impeach
ment of Judge Archbald, of Scran
ton. It was a severe and impressive
sentenco pronounced by Senator Ba
con: It is hereby adjudged
that the respondent, Robt.
W. Archbald, Circuit Judge
for the United States for
the Third Judicial circuit,
and designated to serve in
the Commerce Court, be
and he is hereby removed
from office, and that he be
and Is hereby forever dis
qualified to hold and enjoy
any office of honor, trust
or profit under the United
States.
The acts of which Archbald was
accused were not In themselves
wicked. He was merely charced
with engaging in .business while act
ing as a federal judge. The laws
governing impeachment did not
make it necessary that he should bo
proved guilty of some heinous crime.
They were applied as forcibly and
effectively to a deviation from ethi
cal conduct. Harrlsburg Telegraph.
LO, THE POOH INDIAN!
Congress is struggling with the
Indian problem as usual, not
through the State Department, not
through that of tho Interior, which
handles tho affairs of the aborigines,
but by means of appropriation bills,
which contain practically all of tho
legislation which appertains to our
"wards." It Is not surprising that
Congressmen who genorally serve for
short porlods have little konwledgo
and not much interest in the red
brother of tho West. About the
time that a member of tho commit
tee In charge gets well equipped for
dealing with the subject ho Is retired
to private life by his constituents.
Then a lot of other amateurs take
hold of the subject and do tho best
they can, which is not much.
This country has suffered from the
very beginning from the fact "that it
has never had any fixed Indian pol
icy. At times the' red man is treat
ed as the scum of tho earth, fit only
to be killed. At others, most formal
treaties have been made, as If tho
tribe in question wore an independ
ent nation on tho basis of European
countries. At others, again, the In
dian has been treated as a spoiled
child who needs a lot of cajoling and
a lot of spanking. In some other
cases there has been nothing 'but
neglect and bad treatment, so that
It Is no wonder that wo are viewed
with suspicion by tho few remaining

SHERN IN FA VOIt OF OPEN DOOR
The Philadelphia Inquirer says:
"An agreement by the Philadelphia
Republican members of the House
committee on committees, Messrs.
Daniel J. Shern and William H. Wil
son, to concur in all changes In the
rules that will -bo conducive to free
debate at all times and the prompt
consideration of bills, regardless of
the attitude of the committee to
which they shall be referred, was
reached yesterday and will greatly
expedite the work of the committee
in that respect. 'I would not be
surprised to see the committee un
animous In the matter of the changes
in the rules,' said Mr. Shern. ' The
Republican members of the commit
tee on committees will be in favor
of the widest latitude In debate and
the prompt consideration of all bills
or resolutions, no matter what atti
tude may be assumed by a commit
tee to which they may be referred.
Regarding the appointments on com
mittees,' continued Mr. Shern, 'I
shall personally make no request for
special assignments. I have no am
bition to servo as chairman of any
committee and I trust that the re
port of the committee will Indicate
a spirit of self-denial which will
demonstrate a desire to conscien
tiously fulfill the mission to which
we have been assigned.' "
HARR1SBURG LETTER
Harrlsburg, Jan. 1G.
A new era in tho political history
of Pennsylvania dawned in full
splendor with the opening of the
-20th General Assembly, Tuesday,
January 7, when, for tho first time
In many years, the President Pro
Tern of the Senate and the Speaker
of the House of Representatives
were chosen without the aid of tho
once powerful caucus system, and
these presiding officers were shorn of
their power to appoint the chairmen
and members of the many standing
committees in both branches. Men
prominent in the affairs of State,
who have been attending opening
sessions of the State Legislature bl
enlally, observed the proceedings
attending the organization of Sen
ate and House in open amazement,
so startling was the change from the
old order of things. Instead of be
coming dictators whose nod of ap
proval or disapproval has been suf
ficient to sway the votes of a major
ity of old-time regular organization
members, intent upon getting some
thing tangible for their various con
stituencies, President Pro Tem D. P.
Gerberich and Speaker George E.
Alter are now the incumbents of
honorary posts only, and the most
valuablo asset of tho decadent twin
political machines of our Common
wealth the appointment of mem
bers of standing committees by caucus-chosen
presiding officers passes
Into tho control of the membership
as a whole, through a committee of
their own selection. Thus have tho
people of the Commonwealth,
through their representatives, re
gained control of their law-making
'bodies, and swept into oblivion for
all time tho sinister political In
fluences whose every Intent and pur
pose were directed along selfish and
.narrow lines.
Tho voting of about legislators
who acted as independents and not
as partisans held tho key to tho
Speakership situation, and it is sig
nificant that tho three Democrats,
Messrs. John T. Matt, of Bedford;
H. W. Bergey, of Montgomery, and
Donald Glenn, of Venango, who
dropped their party caucus nominee,
Charles A. Shaffer, of Columbia, and
voted for Alter, thus electing the
latter, were sent to the Legislature
through Washington Party endorse
ments. In addition to these three
it is known that at least one dozen
other Democrats had expressed their
Intention of breaking their caucus
obligation and voting for Alter
should the election of John It. K.
Scott, the McNIchol-Varo candidate,
become imminent. For a time the
votes of the independents, who felt
confident of tho Inability of Scott,
tho Republican caucus nominee, to
make any considerable gain above
his high water vote of 55, wore di;
vided between Samuel B, Scott, Eu
gene J. McAlecr and George A.
Baldwin, Independents, and Alter,
Progressive Republican, but after
the fifth ballot the strength of tho
Washington Party, Keystoners, Pro
gressive Republicans and Progressive
Democrats was transferred to Alter,
giving him 107 votes, or three more
than a majority of the membership
of the House. During the balloting
on Speaker Mr. Alter personally
pledged Messrs. S. B. Scott, McAleer
and Baldwin that If elected ho would
be absolutely fearless, Independent
and progressive in his conduct of
the office to which he aspired, and
on the strength ot the assurances
thus given the necessary votes to
olect him were forthcoming.
Notwithstanding that tho Demo
crats In both branches stuck to tho
caucus Idea, 'with tho few exeep-
tons already noted, tho Progressives
plan to recognize them In the dis
tribution of legislative patronage.
something they have not enjoyed for
lo these many years, and In tho fill
ing of Important committees. This
Is in accord with the principle of
fair iplay which forms a component
part of a Progressive make-up. Some
surprise was manifested at the atti-r
tudo maintained by the Democratic
leaders In opposition to the appoint
ment of the Committee on Commit
tees prior to tho selection of a
Speaker. The progressive element
of the party, without exception, ap
plaud tho results achieved by the
progressive element of tho Republi
can Party and the Independents
elected by the Washington Party, de
claring that they will be able to ac
complish more as party members
under present conditions than
through tho old-tkne method of
procedure. The distribution of the
members of the Committee on Com
mittees in both houses as to party
affiliations Is regarded as most
equitable, and leaves everybody 'but
the pronounced reactionary, and
those employes who have hitherto
depended upon the bos3 system of
organizing the Legislature, in a par
ticularly happy frame of mind.
Messrs. S. B. Scott, John Robert
Jones, Frank H. Rockwell and A. S.
Moulthrop, Independents; Daniel J.
Shern, William H. Wilson, Repub
licans; Charles A. Ambler and Geo.
W. Allen, Republicans and Wash
ington Party; John T. Matt, Demo
crat and Washington; E. R. Benson,
Prohibitionist-Democrat, and John
M. Flynn, Old Line Democrat, com
pose the House Committee on Com
mittees, of which S. B. Scott is
ch airman.
The Senate Committee on Com
mittees is composed of Messrs. W.
C. Sproul, Republican Bull Moose;
James P. McNlchol and Edwin H.
Vare, Old Line Republicans; C. D.
Sensenich and T. M. Kurtz, Republi
cans with Washington endorse
ments; A. W. Powell, Republican
Washington; J. C. Judson, Democrat-Keystone;
F. S. Mcllhenny,
Keystone; J. H. Morgan, Democrat.
Senator Sproul Is chairman of this
committee, which mot in Philadel
phia, Tuesday, Jan. 14, to accomplish
the 'work given to them. The Com
mittee having authority to appoint
the minor employes of the Senate is
composed of Messrs. Sproul, Catlln
and Knapp. The latter is an Inde
pendent Republican, while Catlln Is
an Old Line Republican. It is not
believed that this committee will
recommend many changes In the
list of Senate attaches.
The reading of Governor Tener's
message In both houses was given
more than ordinary attention, par
ticularly those portions in which
such Progressive laws as non-partisan
elections and a non-partisan
ballot at local elections, the referen
dum of the question of granting
women the right of the ballot to the
people, a constitutional amendment
to make possible the levying of an
inheritance tax! the abolition" of the
office of Secretary of Internal Af
fairs, the creation of a State De
partment of Labor and Industry,
conservation of tho State's water
supply and other natural resources
prevention of all food adulteration,
the passage of a General Utility
commission measure. Unfortunate
ly, the governor does not recom'
mend the direct system of electing
United States Senators and State
officers from Governor down, nor
does he apparently favor the import
ant regressive policy of the Inltla
tive, referendum and recall, nor
more stringent and drastic corrupt
practices act. He strongly urges
the enactment of a workmen's com
pensation measure, and a bill to
regulate stock issues. He likewise
takes a strong stand In favor of re
quiring social and political clubs to
take out licenses In tho same man
ner as regularly licensed liquor deal
ers are now required to do, and conv
polling such licensed clubs to faith.
fully observe such days during
which licensed dealers are prohibit
ed to sell liquors.
No recommendation is made by
tho Governor on the proposed
amendment to the Constitution of
the United States providing that
United States Senators be elected by
the people at large Instead of by the
several legislative assemblies. How
ever, more will be heard on that sub
ject In future proceedings of the
General Assembly. The governor Is
strongly In favor of an annual State
Fair, and for the continuance of the
work of the Chestnut Tree Blight
Commission for another two years.
He favors a reasonable annual tax
on timber land.
The General Assembly will get
down to real work again Monday,
January 20.
NEWS FROM HARRISBURG
Harrlsburg, Jan. 15. Among the
early matters for consideration by
tho legislature of Pennsylvania will
bo the measure to submit to the vo
ters of the State tho proposed consti
tutional amendment to borrow $50,
000,000 for construction of high
ways. This procedure will bo in the
form of a joint resolution, which
takes the same course as a bill, and
which must pass each house of the
general assembly three times and
then be certified to tho governor.
Constitutional amendments can be
voted on by the people only after
having been passed by two Legisla
tures. The State Railroad Commission In
Its annual report, which was laid be
fore Governor Tener this week,
makes numerous recommendations
for the consideration of the law-making
department. Especially urgent
Is the request for legislation to re
duce the annual death harvest on the
railroads by the elimination of-grade
crossings- and the suppression of
trespassing on tracks.
The constitutional prohibition of
a greater charge for a short haul
than for a long one, now applicable
to railroads, should In tho opinion of
the commission, be made to apply
also to express and telephono com
panies. The commission renews its
recommendation that telephone com
i pantos toe required to receive and
transmit messages from each other's
lines.
There -were 101 grade crossing
fatalities, or 21 more than tho num
ber killed during 1911. There were
also 257 persons injured at .these
death traps.
Tho employes Injured amounted
to 0020. The Increase In the num
ber of employes killed as compared
with the previous year was 88, and
tho number Injured ' 2318. Fifteen
more passengers were killed and 11G
more injured than during 1911, but
there Is a decrease of 58 in the num
ber of trespassers killed.
On the street railways 177 people
were killed and 4052 Injured. These
figures show a decrease of 16 in the
number killed, but an Increase of
300 in tho number Injured.
"I1UNTV PULLS THE STRINGS."
Theatre-goers will see the Scot
tish comedy, "Bunty Pulls the
Strlnss." earlier than was expected,
when the play opens at the Lyric
with a company of Imported players
organized especially for the produc
tion. This was made necessary be
cause the London success was dupli
cated In New York and the stay In
the latter city promises to continue
Indefinitely. On August 12th the
400th milestone mark was planted,
The company was specially selected
by Graham Moffat, the author of the
play, for a tour ot the larger cities
of tho united States ana uanaaa.
Mr. Moffat is an actor, and with sev
eral members of his family Is play
ing in the London production, now
In Its second year or popularity,
Until "Bunty" saw the light of day
the Moffat family was confined to
tho smaller cities of Scotland, .pro
ducing Scotch plays, and to only in
different business. Then "Bunty'
was produced in London, and inside
of six .months the fame or Graham
Moffat, author, became intornatlon
al In the theatrical profession, and
ho is classed with such writers as W
S. Gilbert and J. M. Barrle. In fact,
"Bunty" is making just such another
furore as did "Pinafore" some tnirty
odd years ago.
New York at the present time is
"Bunty mad, so much so that all
kinds of merchandise Is being named
after It. It now has the "Bunty"
hat, "Bunty" cigars, "Bunty" col
lars. "Bunty" corsets, "Bunty"
skirts and "Bunty" what-nots. There
is no end to it, and among the play
goers the casual ooserver nears
"Bunty" on every side; West 41st
street, N. Y., that a short time ago
somewhat resembled a side path, is
now a blaze of light and sounds like
a pandemonium just about theatre-
time.
JUDGE
ARCHBALD
OFFICE
HUNTING.
Deposed Jurist Snjs Ho Will Im
mediately Begin Practice of Law.
Robert W. Archbald, who was re
moved as judge of the Commerce
Court, by the United States Senate,
Monday, accompanied by his devot
ed wife, got back to Scranton Tues
day night from Washington.
The former jurist was up bright
and early and went at once to the
federal building where he had main
tained an office since his elevation
to the Commerce Court bench, a
couple of years ago. He spent part
of the morning getting his papers in
shapo to remove to other quarters, j
1 m on my way ngnt now to iook
for an office and just as soon as I
get located I shall begin tho practice
of law," said Attorney Archbald.
"You know I have been Idle now
since early in the spring and must
get back to work shortly," he added.
The central figure in a case that
held the attention of the people of
the nation tho past couple of months
looked quite cheerful for a man who
had gone through the experience
that fell to his lot. "I'm feeling in
the best of spirits and will be ready
to get back Into the general practice
of law right away," ho said. He
would not comment on the senate's
action.
About this time several of the for
mer jurist's friends he still has a
host of acquaintances here who have
not lost confidence in him just 'be
cause tho senate has decreed that he
shall be stripped of his judicial toga
came along and the interview clos
ed. By a rather odd coincidence John
W. Peale, a Now York coal operator,
whose name figured quite prominent
ly In the trial before tho senate, hap
pened to be In the lobby at the Jer
myn, when tho doposed jurist ap
peared. With Mr. Peale 'was anoth
er coal man, W. G. Robertson.
Both greeted Mr. Archbald very
warmly.
" We have met elsewhere," com
mented tho former judge as he
grasped Mr. Pealo's hand. In tho
impeachment caso, W. G. Boland
charged that Judge Archbald had not
acted fairly In deciding in favor of
Peale in a suit that Peale had
against Boland's concern, tho Mar
