So much for the spirit which seems to have
animated one w. p. Boland in purposely in
volving Judge Archibald in the katydid culm
bank deal, in order to then betray him. There
will be little except disgust felt for the action
OF Boland, but the Judges lawyers are mis-
taken II they expect to make much use of
sordid motive In the who disclosed the
act to clear the name Of the man who commit
ted it.
The question concerning Judge Archibald in
these transactions is but secondarily pointed at
why he went into them. or how he was induced
to go into them. 1t is pointed to whether IT is
possible for Judge who would go into them
IN he permitted to sit on Federal bench. The
Judge may have been Iured into actions Of a
influence his opinion concerning litigants in
lis court. Satan may have tempted him. The
point Is, that he fell.

any rabbit hunt after reasons and motives
and temptations. The country will have its

If the case is strong enough. it will develop
that the law has something to say of the man
who makes judge go wrong, as we'll as of the
Judge himself. That however is beside the
issue. which, terselv, is whether Judge Arch
bald is knaye enough to have deliberately used
his ofice to force profitable business conces-
sions. or fool enough not to comprehend why
and how it happened that they so easy
to make. SO profitable to close. Throwing b.
land into the discard, 1t is evident that, il the
charges are proved, Judge Archibald is not fit
for his seat, whether because of knavery or
stupidity.

"ALL's RIGHT WITH THE WORLD

Abdul Bahia Persian prophet, who is now
in the United States, gives 1t his opinion
that the two most expressive words in the
American language are contained in the express
sno 'All right"
Everywhere he goes he declares everybody
is saying it, Servants make use. of it in ac-
cepting orders, it is the sign of good health,
of good feeling, of good hope. "Everything,"
he says, is All right in the United States
The expression typically reflects the optimism
o. this great country"
The Prophet has detected the fundament-
al, but he has mistaken the symptom. "All
right" may frequently mean that everything
is wrong Instead of showing forth the opti-
mism of the people, 1t may, and often does
mean nothing more than that the man who
uses it Is putting up a 'front.' Any business
man will give the advice to the individual in
hard luck and in want of employment TO look
prosperous Good clothes are the visible
on cannot really afford to wear them. The
most confident man is generally the one who
has least in reality TO rely on. With natural
wisdom and judgment of human nature. the
American type knows that the world gives
most freely to those who appear to need the
least: that it withholds most sternly from
those whose necessities are most apparent
Therefore, ii is tho American attitude. as well
as the American expression, 10 appear, as well
as say, "All right whether or no

gets this attitude of bluff that things really
begin TO look though they were all wrong
When the country forgets to say All right"
Immediately those conditions which we have
all been hiding become painfully apparent

as In it's particular meaning, assails us. Pol
