JUDOE ARCHBALD 1
REMOVED FROM OFFICE
Convicted on five of Thirteen
Charges Presented in
the Senate
FOREVER DISQUALIFIED
Regard It a Trinmnh
Over the Recall of
Officials
Washington Jan 11— With the
prvfchingr'force of unanimity the Sen-
ate this afternoon impeached and re-
moved from his position’ an judge of
the" United States Circuit r7)urt Rob-
ert W rchbatd of Pennsylvania and
then by a vote of 39 to 35 forever dis-
qualified him for holding “any office
of honor trust or profit under the
United States”
The latter action was a bitter dis-
appointment to the friends of the ac-
cused Judge for thev had been striv-
ing earnestly for days with high hopes
of success to induce a majority of the
Senators to limit the jiunishment of
Judge Archbald to removal from of-
fice without inflicMngthe added humil-
iation and disgrace of forever shutting
him out from holding office under the
Government But the Senate felt that
itself and the whole impeachment ma-
chinery of the Government was on
trial as well as Judge Archbald and
by a combimation of progressive Re-
publicans with' Democrats a majoritv
was secured for the infliction of the
l
extreme peualty provided by the con-
stitution for Judges convicted on im-
' peachment of high crimes and misde-
meanors on the bench -The
drastic action of the impeach-
ment court followed the conviction of
the accused Judge on five of the thir-
teen articles of impeachment present-
ed by the House of Representatives
- The vote on the first article that re-
lating to the Judge’s connection with
the Katydid culm dump deal was the
most decisive and at once revealed to
all that the conviction of the Judge was
a certainty The vote on the first ar-
ticle result- d sixty-eight forconviction
to five for acquittal the five Senators
who stood by Archbald being Oliver
Penrose Burnham of New Hampshire
Catron of New Mexico and Paynter
of Kentucky The latter was the on
Democrat voting in the negative and
throughout all he subsequent ballot-
ing he stood with Penrose Oliver
Burnham and Catron for the acquittal
of the accused
F orever Disqalified
Senator O’Gorman of New York at
the conclusion of the votes on the sep-
arate articles of impeachment made
the motion that the accused be remov-
ed from the bench and forever disqual-
iged from holding office under the
United States Senator Oliver re-
' quested that the question be divided
ard that tie disqualification clause
be voted on separately Then the vote
on removal from the bench by viva
voce was unanimous The other part
of the question being one of punish-
ment did not require two-thirds to
carry and was adopted by 39 to 35
The solemn judgment of the Senate
having been recorded Senator Bacon
the President pro tempore declared
in grave tones:
‘‘Upon the order just passed the
Senate do order and it is hereby ad-
judged that the respondent Robert
W Archbald Circuit Judge of the
United Stales from the Third Judicial
Circuit and design ited to serve on
the Commerce Court be and be is
hereby removed from office and that
he be and is hereby forever disquali-
fied to hold or enjoy any office of
honor trust or profit under the United
States1

WASHINGTON
CORRESPONDENCE
t
By CLYDE H TAVENNER
Washington Jan 14 President
Taft in his New York“re-organizatlon
speech” declared in fine sarcasm that
those dissatisfied with his administra-
tion demanded “an ideal state in which
the poor and oppressed are to acquire
property and cease suffering”
This and similar statements of the
President indicate why his adminis-
tration was unpopular He was pre-
judiced against any kind of reform
His is the same view that la held by
Morgan and Rockefeller and the
other money kings who have made
their millions as a result of federal
laws which gave them monopolies of
American markets with power to charge
the people for trust products any price
that their greed dictated 1
Morgan and Rockefeller also believe
that all' who are not satisfied with the
old conditions— the bribery of United
States Senators by the oil trust the
failure to send guilty trust magnates
to jail as the poor are sent to jail
when they violate the lawthe infamous
Payne-Aldrich tariff laws which per-
mit the big industrial combinations to
ho ever boosting prices and increasing
the cost of living— Morgan and Rock-
efeller and Taft believe that all who
complain of these things expect and
demand “an ideal state in which the
poor and oppressed are to acquire
property and’cease suffering”
This is not true It is ridiculous to
assert that because the people demand
tariff revision to reduce the cost of
living that they expect or demand an
“ideal state”
In asking for an income tax which
tfill compel the rich to bear a fair
proportion of the burden of taxation
which they are not now doing
In requesting the election of United
States Senators by the direct vote of
the people to prevent their election by
bribery
In demanding enforcement of the
criminal provision of the Sherman
anti-trust law which is not now being
enforced by an attorney-general who
was formerly a sugar-trust lawyer
In desiring legislation safe-guarding
legitimate business from the pub-
lic evils of stockgambling
In expecting an effective regulation
of child labor an employer’s liabili-
ty law and protection of women wage-
earners In demanding and expecting these
things the public is not as President
Taft says and as Morgan and Rocke-
feller pretend to believe either de-
manding or expecting “an ideal state
in which the poor and oppressed are
to acquire property”
The people are simply asking for a
square deal at the hands of these
“public servants” they have sent to
Washington to represent them

THE LIVESTOCK
INDUSTRY
While Oklahoma made an excellent
showing of livestock when the federal
census was taken in 1910 the Okla-
homa figures shown in that census will
seem insignificant when compared w ith
those which will appear in the census
of 1920
The livestock industry of the United
Stated has developed into one of enor-
mous proportions Oklahoma will be
a factor in the industry in the yesrs
to come for Oklahoma has made up
Its mind that livestock Is the princi-
pal part of farming and this state
proposes to develop the livestock un-
til the annual output is exceeded by
no other state
For the year of 1909 the value of all
domestic animals sold in the United
States was $1562 937000 as shown by
the census taken in 1910 and value of
animals slaughtered on the farm $270-
209000 making a total of $1833175-
000 To the total value of animals
sold cattle (including calves) con-
tributed $710015000 or 45-4 percent
horses mules asses and ’burros to-
gether $306457000 or 19-6 percent
swine $463011000 or 296 percent
and sheep and goats $83453000 or
53 percent The number of cattle and
sheep slaughtered on farms is equal
to but a very small fraction of the
number sold but in 1909 the number
of swine slaughtered on farms was
more than two-fifths the number sold
Iowa Missouri Illinos Kansas
Nebraska in the order named rank-
ed highest among the states in 1909 in
the gross value of domestic animals
sold each reporting more than $100-
000000 Texas reported the sale of
tiie largest number of cattle (exclud-
-
ing calves) low ranking second but
New york ranked first in the number
calves sold with Wisconsin second
While Iowa reported the sale of more
horses than any other state Missouri
ranked first in the combined number
of horses mules and asses and burros
sold the number of mules sold by
Missouri farmers being nearly twice
as great as the number sol4 by the
farmers of any other state Iowa
ranked first with respect to number of
swine sold and Missouri second
Montana and Ohio ranked first and
second ’ respectively in sales of
sheep— Okla Farmer
OKLAHOMAN MAY
ENTER CABINET
That an Oklahoman will fill a place
in the president's cabinet Is a possi-
bility The friends of Col R A
Rogers of Oklahoma City are work-
ing out the plans for presenting him
as a eanditate for the secretary of the
interior portfolio and as the plans
unfold the Colonel’s chances look
brighter and brighter
Col Rogers is a personal friend of
president-elect Wilson of long years
standing The two were in college to-
gether and the friendship there form-
ed has increased the passing years
When Mr Wilson’s name first ap-
peared as a presidential possibility
Col Rogers began the work of build-
ing up Wilson sentiment in Oklahoma
and to him is due much of the credit
for the great Wilson sentiment that
grew up in the west He was the first
president of the Oklahoma State Wil-
son club and directed the work of that
organization until jlftr Wilson was
nominated That Col Rogers has
the proper ability for the place goes
without saying
Dr E T Bynum of Oklahoma City
one time student under Mr Wilson
in the John Hopkins university is
taking great interest in the movement
to place Col Rogers in the cabinet
and will In a few days go to New Jet
sey for a personal Interview with the
president elect
The first measure to pass the legis-
lature now in session was a concurent
resolution endorsing Col Rogers lor
the cabinet place The resolution was
by senators McMcchah and Wilson
representative Crawford
To Test Lessees Rights
Joseph Wiswell vs F W Markland
is the titld of a case brought a few
days ago in the Payne county district
court that promises to be of great in-
terest to the state as the decision in
the ease will determine whether the oil
and gas under the public lands are
for the use of the lessees or were re-
tained by the state when the lands
were leased
The school land department leased
a quarter section of land in Pavne
I
county to Wiswell some time ago and
the latter gave Markland a lease to oil
and gas rights Wiswejl brings the
suit to oust Markland from the land
and stop him from taking oil and gas
therefrom If the Markin nd leas is
upheld by the courts it means thous-
ands of dollars annually to the state
The state received no revenue from
the oil and gas deposits prior to 1910
a few leases being made that year
more in 1911 and in 1912 the state re-
ceived $5736126 from this source
When all the oil and gds propertie s
of the state are developed it will mean
an enormous income from that source

FREEDOM
Manuel L Quezon residend com-
missioner of the Philippine Islands to
the United States who has just re-
turned to Wasington from Manila
says that every town in the archipela-
go has endorsed the Jones bill which
he hopes will be passed at the extra
session of Congress
The bill purposes to establish a
provisional government more liberal
and autonomous than at present for
a probationary period of eight years
beginning July 4 1913 and that after
July 4 1921 the United States shall
relinquish all rights of covereignty
over the Philippines and grant to its
inhabitants full and complete inde-
pendence The United States would
retain covereignty over necessary na-
vel and coaling station sites and ter-
minal points for cables not including
the bay and harbor of Manila
The Jones bill would vest the legis-
lative power of the Philippine Islands
In a Congress of the Philippines a
Senate comprising thirty-eight mem-
bers and a House of eighty-seven
members both branches to be elective
The executive power would be vest-
ed during the probationary period in
a President appointive for four years
by the President of the United Slates
aud after July 4 1921 to be elective
by the Philippines

TO CHOOSE NO ONE
NOT PROGRESSIVE
Declares People of United
States Will Stand for
No Other
FORSWEARS THE OLD
Asks All to Pledge Them-
selves to Evade Ancient
Entanglements v
Trenton N'J' Jan13— Governor
Wilson for whom the majority of the
states in the union Monday cast their
electoral votes for the presidency i pro-
claimed in a speech to the New Jersey
presidential electors"that he interpret-
ed his election as the distinct expres-
cion of the progressive impulses of
the country
“I shall not be acting as a partisan
when I pick out progressives and on-
ly progressives to aid me” the gov-
ernor said in analyzing the spirit that
he said had produced his election
The governor predicted no division
in the counsels of the democratic par-
ty but foresaw solidarity
“Those democrats” he said “who
hitherto have been slow to align them-
selves with the progressive banner are
slowly yielding The business men of
the country too are swinging around
to an unselfish and broader view of
their duties to the people”
The speech was delivered at a lun-1
cheon given for the electors by the
democratic state committee just before
the official ballot was cast it was
the last Dr Wilson is scheduled to
make before his inauguration
Only Progressives Can Win '-'7
“I feel that it would be unbecoming
in me” he said “to make a speech
today in any other tone than that of
a man who believes that he is speak
ing for the men with whom he is asso-
ciated Some men have been slow to
observe but the majority of ush&ve
seen that the people of the United
States have taken a definite choice I
happen to be one of the instruments
through whom that choice is expressed
but that choice is for the long future
The people of the United States have
turned their faces in a definite direc-
tion and any party any man who
does not go with them in that direction
they will reject and they ought to”
