San Francisco, Cal, July 25.-(Spe-
cial. )-Charles Edward Russell is tax
ing in the California chautauques
during July with hot lecture on So
cialism. On his arrival in San Fran
cisco, Russell right away lifted his
voice with those phople who are after
a pardon for Abe Ruef. Here is the
grilling he gave the men he calls the
San Francisco Pecksniffs":
(By Charles Edward RusseIl.)
The more one looks into this prison
business, anyway, the more one sick
ems at soul of the whole thing. The
case of the unfortunate man for whom
you are pleading is a good example.
The real offender in this instance was
the whole community. 1t provided
and maintained the conditions under
which it was absolutely certain that
these things would be done by some
body; if not by Ruef, then by some
body else Then with conspicuous
Justice" and 'decency" the commun-
ity turns upon the person that does
the inevitable thing and insists upon
crushing him. If it wants to punish
why doesn't it punish the real offend
er, which is itself?
So. it goes in all these matters. So
ciety provides the conditions that
make the thing called crime ordained
and certain. Then it picks out some.
of the men that do this inevitable
thing and demands that they shall be
ruined for its own fault.
What for? What good rea0ts from
all this misery?
is it not a strange and momentous
fact that this same society that so i'm
placably and insatiably pursues Sc
lected specimens of it's wrong-doers is
yet utterly Indifferent to others whose
deeds are of much greater Importance
to it?
For instance at the suggestion that
Abe Ruef should have that right to
parole that the law gives to him, you
can hear thousand San Francisco
Pecksniffs exclaim in horror. But not
one of these will take the slightest IN
terest in the fact that every year in
this country more than 10000 men,
women and children are murdered IN
our productive industries for the sole
sake of dividends and interest.
Here are close upon 100000 little
children that are being ground up for
profits in our mills, mines and fac
tories and not one of the gentlemen
that are yelling for the blood OF Abe
Ruef has ever shown the least concern
about the monstrous and illimitable
crime of child labor.
Here in this country of ours every
year about 10000 women are driven
by poverty into the hideous depths OF
prostitution and not one of the pillars
of society ever seems to STIR pulse
over that ineffab1e horror.
But at any plea that any one OF our
prison victims may have suffered
enough, that his heart may have been
wrung enough and his nerves tortur-
ed enough that we may have branded
him deep enough and made him shed
tears enough and caused him anguish
enough and wreaked our wretched
vengeance enough and trampled him
into the mire enough, at any such
plea up spring a thousand protests

JUDGE ARCHIBALD.

Judge Robert Archibald of the Unit ,d States commerce court. has been granted a breathing spell by the sen ale laying over his imreachius pro eeedinss until the Tall.
 The Unanimous report of the house Judiciary committee. that the judge ought to he lmpeachcd, the impcach- ins of the judge by every member of the house With the exception of one vote. places that official in d rather tight position. The house has treed their man, and il Is now up to the senate to say whether he Will be killed off.
 A vote in the house can be classed ds the popular vote of the people for that body represents the masses, and SD far as the power of recall as rep resented by that body of men. the country can say Judge Archibald is down and out. the recall has operated against him.
 But all Americans love fair play. and the evidence in the house was more or less in the nature of ex parte testimony, if We are correctly inform ed and no person should be con- dcmned under such conditions. Then again it is quite possible the house. may have been little nasty in its action. knowing the senate would have 10 review the evidence and pass judg- ment upon the judge. against whom impeaching proceedings had been brought.
 IL is serious charge. the judge of the commerce court is now face toI face with, and if guilty he should suf- fer the consequences. if innocent he should be freed from the stigma now attached to his good name. The guilty should be punished no matter what tLeir age, and men holding important positions such as g United Stetes judge. should be brought up with al round turn whenever they deviate one iota from the path of right and jus tice, for hundreds of innocent crea- lures may be made to suffer by the wrong committed. On the other hand a judge siXty-four years of age. man creeping well on toward the threel score years and ten mark such as the judge now being tried under impeach- ment charges. if found innocent should be given every opportunity to wipe out the stain. besmirching his character. There are hundreds of criminals walking the face of this earth, men who could discount the famous character called Uriah Heep in Dickens David Copperfleld. in their sleek, criminal way of going about trying to rob one of their good name. It is possible a band of such men may have gotten after Judge Archibald. is so he is to be pittied, for until found out. men of that stamp are like Uriah

Ieep. and many place great conf dence in all they say. But in time uc mask IS removed and they stand forth in all their criminal hidiousness. but often after they have committed irrvparable wrongs. Every commun- ity has such characters. and for all .uch the whipping post. or the tar and feather method of good old New En- gland days should be revived.
 From the New York Sun. a re- publican progressive paper We find the following pertaining to impeachment cases tried before the United States senate:
 The first impeachment was of Will liam BIount. senator from Tennes- sec who was acquitted of treason Issg). the second of Judge Picker ing. who was convicted of drunken ness uS03), the third of Judge sam uel Chase, for misdemeanOr and over bearing conduct. who was acquitted USO5); the fourth of Judge James IL. Peck, impeached for arbitrary con duct who was also acquitted us5O). the fifth, of Judge West Ii. Humph reys, of Tennessee. who was convicted of rebellion uS62); the sixth. of An drew Jackson. president of the United States, who was acquitted of violating the laws of congress lS6S); the seventh. of W. W. BeIknap, secretary of war. accused of receiving money of post traders, among Indians. who was acquitted for want of jurisdiction QS76). and the eighth that of Judge Charels Swayne. accused of various misconduct, who was acquitted"

"A SUPPOSE IN THE CASE"

Orozco. the insurgent Mexican gen. eral. makes very insulting proposi- ton To the United states. as much as to tell this country it cannot take care of it's citizens in the little red pepper republic. There are many Americans, of the same frame of mind. and 1t is rather galing to have a Greaser Haunt the same in our very faces.
 Much as we admire Taft, We would like to see Theodore Roosevelt in the White House just about now, and see him get action. 1t commences to look as if nothing short of d Mex can banderilla. will rouse the ire of Taft. so he will get busy and make the Mexicans have little more respect for the citizens of this country.

Criminals are never safe from the officers Of the law, SD long as they remain upon the earth. The running to earth a few days ago of JameA Landers. by government sleutns. is proof of this fact. Many Nomeites had forgotten all about the incident of the man breaking out of jail. not so the government. it's oflicfiiials have been watching and waiting to grab the criminal under sentence of three years. and he will now have to serve out this time.
