the attorney for the defence dwelt on
his favorite question, Was the race

shown were from a cash register and
not from any bookmaking machine

The suit was one brought in 1885
by Hill, Keiser & Co., in the Lacka-
wanna county court against Archibald
and others, doing business as the
Amity Coal Co., Limited. The suit
was carried to the state supreme
court. The decision against Arch
bald was written by the late Justice
Williams. 1t declares that the con-
Germ in which Archibald was one of
four partners was IAN empty SHELF
and it's business, conducted on a
fake capital of $4,000, fraud
upon the public"
The nomination of Commissioner
Knapp is objected to on the ground
that Knapp has shown himself to be
strongly in favor of railroad privi-
leges, and is therefore disqualified
for service on a court which is to
pass upon railroad questions.
Close observers here at the Capt.
toll declare there is nothing sur
prising about the appointments. The
two nominees are of the same tenn
permanent as the men who are most
frequently received at the White
House, to-wit: Aldrich, Hale,
Stephenson, Guggenheim, Penrose.
From the first, the Presidents ad-
visers have been men whose views
were not the views of the great mass
of the American people. Republicans
like LaFOllette who have called at
the White House to counsel with the
president have been kept waiting in
the ante-room so long that they have
left the executive mansion in dis
gust.
Since the president has relied up
on the suggestions and advice of
men unpopular with the people, and
has rejected the advice and counsel
of republicans popular with the peo-
pie, the president should not be sur
prised that his administration is fail
ing to please the people.
Progressives Disappointed.
When President Taft was con-
sidering who he would appoint to the
supreme bench he gave the progress
sive republicans list of men and
asked them to investigate their re-
cords and define what their atti-
tude would be if he should nominate
them. This the progressives did,
reporting in favor of some and
against others. Imagine their sur
prise when the president announced
his selections and it was found that
neither of the two men appointed
were included in any list which had
been submitted to them.
Ballinger Should Resign.
Are the services of Richard A. Bal
linger as secretary of the interior de-
partment worth the price the Taft
administration is paying in keeping
him in office? This is a question
that many republicans are consider
ing. Despite the "vindication", of
Mr.. Ballinger by partisan majority
of the Congressional investigating
committee, the fact remains that the
evidence discredited him as public
servant. Even the republicans feel
that he has lost the confidence of
the people and that his resignation
would lift a load from the Taft ad-
ministration.
