The seasoned and staid traditions
or Impeachment are to be Translated
INTO trial by tunU!t." said Mi Lit
tletun. The orderly processes Of regu-
lated justice are IT, be cCnN erted into
sporadic assaults born of hate and dis
appointments The dignitied minister Of
the established law. Cnnohled by the
grandeur of his lofty station. and dis
clplined by the pressure Of sober re
sponsibllitV, is to he degraded by the
impending threat and distracted by the
uncertainty OF q pref c.Ous tenure. The
misguided or malignant passions of an
! unimpCrtant fra glnent Of the CoTrmun-

! stainless judge and, by groundless
charge. put suspicion in the place &C
confidence and distrust in the place Of
faith.

demned by the firm hand of an incor-
ruptible court; the agrarian agitator
always against the substance and
symbols of order; the reformer, whose
righteous zeal and unbalanced judg-
ment made him ct once the most at
tractiVe and most dangerous of men:
the daring dcnag0gue, and the intrigu-

Norris Gives the Facts.
Only by the adoption of the paper
Hl1nEa
ment with Canada can cheap
paper and the retention of
the print paper industry i'll the
United States be secured, according to
John Morris, representing the Amer
lean Newspaper Publishers associa-
'tion, who appeared before the Senate
finance committee today.
! The Canadian provinces which con-
troll the raw material of paper manu-
ifacture," Mr.. Norris said, ARE trying to
force American paper mills to move to
the other side of the boundary line
of pulp wood from provincial land,
they believe they can starve ont the
American paper makers, whose domes-
tic supplies are nearly exhausted.
American paper makers own ever
$4,000 square miles of timber rights OH
the crown lands of Quebec for which
they cannot now ship wood pulp be-
cause of the prohibition of May l, 1910
Little Material Left.
Mr.: Norris referred to Clifford Pinch
lots estimate three years ago of the
available supply of wood pulp timber
lin the United States. which would last
Jas follows:
New York state, eight and one-half
years; Pennsylvania, nine years;
Minnesota, nine years; Vermont IL
years; New Hampshire, Is years
and Maine 2Sk years.
! Concluding Mr.. Norris said that
nearly 40 per cent of the wood and
pulp which the United States now uses
as the raw material OF cheap paper
comes from abroad.
! 1.-The paper industry" he said, paid
SIS, 400, 074 to foreigners in 1910 for pulp
woods and pulp to keep American pa
per mills going"
! The consumers paid penalties OF
$780, 900 In retaliatory duties because
there was an adequate supply OF free
wood in Canada available for the needs
OF this market"
