NO INFRACTI0N OF MORAL
CODE TO HIT SHERMAN LAW
Continued From Page 4.


America would form q pool to break
the law Such thing would be be-
meath them The Sherman law had
never before been applied TO them.
They hadn't known how far they could
60 under It. Even II they had made
millions OF dollars that they couldn't
have made II they hadn't been a trust,
nevertheless since they did not intend
to break the law. II would be too hard
on them to send them TO jail What's
more, Robert Woodrow Archibald knew
that most Of them had committed their
offenses year before.
But would you let a bank clerk on
II he should steal money from his bank
q year before he was arrested !
asked Archibald.
Judge Archibald thinks that clerk
breaks a moral law when he steals.
Archibald also thinks that trust direc-
tors do not break moral law In vio-
lating the Sherman antitrust law. as
the wire trust men did.
Archibald believes that, IL juries do
not reach what the Judge thinks Is a
just judgment, then the Judge ought
TO step in and override the jury. Arch
bald 10 proud of the fact that our court
rooms are always open to the public.
Judge Archibald thinks that the aver
age Judge. because of his exalted posi-.
ton, tries to be good and to avoid
favoritsm.
Judge Archibald doesn't belong to
any clubs he fishes a little; he does
not hunt. He takes long walk every
Saturday. He has no money but his
salary. He spends most OF his time
In the library. Economic problems do
not bother him. Problems Of law take
up his time.
Maybe this story will make some
people feel that a bad Judge IL bad,
not necessarily because he 10 corrupt,
but because he is so FAR away from
the public that he doesn't understand
it's problems and that the recall OF
bookworm judges. when the recall
does come, will be just as desirable as
the recall OF corrupt judges.

Sen. Borah Speaks Against
Plan to Recall Judges

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Asserting
the principle to be utterly destructive
of a Republican form Of government,
Senator Borah, (Repn. Idaho). today
opposed the recall of the judiciary in
q vigorous speech to the senate.
II maintain that In writing a law"
he said, I'VE ought to listen closely to
the instructions of q well-founded and
well-sustained public opinion. But at
ter the law II written, the judge who
CONSTITUTES II and by Its terms meas
ures out to each citizen his duty or
his obligations. should consider moth
ing but the terms as written. He has
nothing TO do with its leniency or its
hardness, its wisdom or unwisdom.
The most paltry being who shines
his way through the machinery Of gov
eminent Is the Judge who seeks to To-
cate the popular side OF judicial con-
troversy. The man OF small fortune
or limited means will always suffer In
q contest with influence or wealth in
such a court Instead Of a trial, IL he
has a Just cause, he will get that do
lay which in the end constitutes a
denial Of justice.
81 am afraid that the principle of the
recall as applied TO judges will tend
to establish the rule OF the majority in
matters Of judicial controversy.
IF the time ever comes when the
fundamental principles of our govern
ment an embodied In our constitution
no longer hold the respect and fealty
Of majority Of our people popular
government will. as a practical fact
not long survive that hour"

GINGER" FOR WORN
 OUT Is DISCOVERED
Boston Doctor ChaSeS That Tired Feeling Out With
 Electric Waves

BOSTON, Aug. 30.-How to make stupid or sicllly school children bright and active. how to make the lazy 'clock watching" clerk or office eln- ploye become a model of energy, how to give new vitality to the man or woman returning worn out from sO- cial or business duties-all these and a hundred other similar important problems are alleged to have been solved by the discovery of Dr. An drew F. Christian of this city.
 "A person feels better in 6 room where the air has been electrified than he does in a room with ordinary air, however well the room be ven ulated." explained Dr. Christian to- day, The reason is that a high fre- quency current in a room breaks up the atoms Of oxygen and creates ozone. The czone enriches the red blood corpuscles and they become numerous and more active.7
 The result of Christians experi- ments is a cabinet which contains the essential elements of a high ire quency electric cell. an air pump and vacuum tube. The high frequency coil charges the vacuum tube. which is inclosed in a glass air chamber. The air pump draws air into the air cham Ter. and the air, after circulating about the charged vacuum tube, is carried out into the room by tubes. The oxygen in the air is broken up as it circulates about the charged vac. uum tube and the air as passed into the rooms is full of ozone.

BOYS MOCK CURTIN,
 LAND IN THE COOLER
Solemn Procession of HNeVer AgainS" Files Out Next
 Morning

Disrespect to the curfew ordinance got five young boys in jail Tuesday night. For long time there has been complaints made against boys playing in the street at night and there seems to have been a general laxity of par ents in allowing their young ones away from home at night. As regularly as the days pass the eurfew bell rings at 9 o'clock D. m., but 1t Is fast becom- ing a dead letter.
 The five boys were arrested by Offi- cer Trotter, night policeman, Tuesday night after the ringing of the curfew bell. They were playing on Brewery gulch and on School hill, uttering wells that would have done credit to the lung power of a Comanche. They were released yesterday morning and warned that if they repeated the Of fense they would be haled into court and be made to pay the penalty of vio- lating the ordinance.
 Never were there more penitent boys than those who filed out of the city jail yesterday morning and each registered a never again" as he de- parted. Prisoners say the OOyS playeu all night inside the jail, but that they passed resolutions to never again play on the streets after the curfew bell rang.
 The invasion of the business district by children during the day time, with. cut nurses or guardians, and after the curfew hour has been commented on a great deal lately. Several days ago City Marsha, Bassett Watkins and Of ficer Lowe Wight found little kid sleeping peacefully on the Copper Queen plaza The officers surrounded the vag and waited patiently for him to wake up. When he did his eyes grew large at the sight of the uniform ed officers and he went towards home as fast as his little feet would carry him, to the amusement of a crowd Of young Mexicans who had been watch ing the yOungster sleep.

WAGES IN AMERICA
 HIGHEST, BUT WASTED
EngliShman Says We Get No Benefit, Because of Ma
 tionaI ExtraVagance

NEW YORK. Aug. 30.-George Gearing Hiatt, who has been in this country eighteen months studying in- dustrial conditions in behalf of the tariff reform party in England, declar- cd today that the American Norkman's wages are three times higher than those of his British brother. At the end of the week. however, he says the American hasn't a cent more in his pocket than the British workman.
 At the two last elections in England the tories were badly beaten largely because their speakers were unable to answer the questions about better conditions prevailing in America. It was to gather ammunition for the next campaign that Mir. Gearing Hiatt was sent to this country, and he says he has a chest full Of war material for his party.
 Tt would seem the American work man should have much more left at the end of the week than the worker in the British Isles" he said today. but the fact is he spends more. He wants to go out to shows. his wife and daughters want fine clothes and his children generally are not denied things. The American lives a much fuller life. though whether this Is good in every case is a question.
 Peer here is very dear. The Eng fish pint which costs { or 6 cents has about four American size glasses 10 1t. Besides. the British workman looks we'll into the glass, and if there Is any froth on 1t somebody gets a black look.
 The American spends more on food. I think he needs more. II seems to me the food here Is not se
