good. The assault on aim Is simply
an Impeachment Of decency and zeal
for the public good. and IL successful
would tend to doom and discourage
any one who dares to Withstand the
forces banded together for evil. and
would do grave damage to the honor

beneficiaries would be every keeper

Judge in Congress-.

Washington, March 2.--President
Roosevelt's defense of Lebbins r. vii
aey, based on an analytical review BY
Secretary Root Of the charges against
him. was made public today.
The charges we're preferred BY
Lorin Andrews and have been repeat
ed by him before the house committee
on Judiciary as the basis Of impeach-
ment proceedings. They relate to
Judge Wilfley's administration Of the
United States court for China at
Shanghai.
After disposing Of each OF the seven
charges by showing that neither Of
them is the proper basis Of criticism
against Judge Wiley, Secretary Root
reviews conditions In the foreign quar-
ters Of China, showing that because
Of the heretofore lax American admin
istration OF justice there, conditions
had grown disgraceful.
Judge Wiley was sent there for
the express purpose of reversing these
conditions. Secretary Root concludes:
"The circumstances thus presented
exhibit q motive for the attempt to
drive Judge Wiley from his position.
They present sttong probability Of
misjudgment, exaggeration and distor-
ton Of facts on the part Of lawyers
who have personally suffered from the
changed conditions. They make it
clear that upon no trihing grounds
should our governmep4 incur the pub
lie misfortune to disbountenance the
deceny and right eousness that the
United States court for China has
done. 85. 2.Ss
my opinion ia that Judge Whitley
is entitled. not to condemnation. but
to commendation and high credit for
his conduct IN oflce and that the
charges against him should be dis
Missed.

Root. He hrst comments that It APP

he continues, which u to the effect
that Judge Wiley is not only innocent
but Il attacked solely because Of the
fearlessness ana integrity With which
he stamped out vice and crime n

Will Extend Train to Mt. Ayr.

Secretary Botsford of the Des Moines
Commercial Club, last week received
notice from general manager Ward, of
the Q. B. q Q. r. R., that the Burling-
ton road would extend the new passen-
ger run which now stops at Togo juno
tion to Lamont and Mt. Ayr, and that
the new service will start as soon as
turntable and coal shute can be built
at Mt. Ayr. A few weeks ago Leon and
Davis City presented petition to the
state railway commission asking that
the passenger train which started from
Van Vert in the morning and returned
in the evening be extended at least as
far rs Leon and Davis City, Lamont hav-
ing failed to file petition asking for
this service at the time, and the new
service was started on August 1st.
Then Mt. Ayr and Lamont proceeded to
get busy and demanded that they be
given similar service by having the
train start from Mt. Ayr in the morning
and return there in the evening, and
this will shortly be done. The new
train service at the Leon station has
been heavy ever since the train was
put on, and it looks as if the rvr to
Lamont and Mt. Ayr would be profit
able one for the railroad as at the pres
ent time most of the travel from Mt.
Ayr and Ringgold county has been go
ing over the Great Western. The new
service is not expected to change the
time OF the train at Leon, as it will start
from Mt. Ayr pretty early in the morn
ing and get back shortly before 6 6o'clock
in the evening, giving passengers about
two hours in Des Moines and still be
able to get back home the same day.
