cock, first assistant postmaster gen
eral, 1908; Charles d. Hilles, secretary
to the President, 1912. Precedent has
been followed wisely by Mr.. Taft and
the subcommittee in the selection OF
a chairman for the Republican ma
tional committee
of highly agreeable personality, I'M
questional loyalty and assured ability,
Mr.. Hilles appears the most 5ndi-
cious choice possible in the present
formidable situation. Like Cortelyou
and Hitchcock he is a member of the
official family. He has had a most
important part in directing Mr.. Taft's
successful canvass for denomination
and fully comprehends the task be-
fore him. He is young and energetic.
commands constant personal touch with
the agents in charge of the party or
ganization and guarantees a campaign
management completely in accord with
the Presidents personal wishes and
high political ideals.
National committeeman are loud in
their praise of the new ehairman's
work before and during the Chicago
convention 1t has become a common
opinion in Washington that if Mr.
Hilles had become secretary to the
President at the beginning of Mr..
Taft's administration one or two I'M
fortunate mistakes would have been
avoided.
The honor was absolutely unsought
by Mr. Hilles. as no one is more fully
aware of the problems TO be met than
is he. He recognizes the strength of
Wilson and his hackers. appreciates
the danger of Roosevelt, and is fully
cognizant of the strain to be attend

Chas Taft is believed averse to furth-

holders are said to be in no mood to

Yes, Charles D. Hilles is drafted to
about the most difficult task ever fac

His declaration that he did not seek

he isn't accustomed to being beaten.

Impeachment of JUDGE Archibald.

At this time. when the people of
America are considering the recall of
judges, the dignified and orderly pro-
ceedings in Congress in the case of
Judge Robert w. Archibald of the Y.
s. Court of Commerce, may appeal
With some effect. on Monday the
chairman of the House committee on
judiciary presented 10 articles of i'm
parchment against Judge Archibald
the report being unanimous from his
committee.
Happily. such scenes are not fire.
quent. as this case is the first since
the Impeachment trial of Judge
Charles Swayne of the northern dis
trict of Florida, who was acquitted in
February, 1905. In the present case,
the House Judiciary committee finds
that the iurist used his office for per-
sonal profit; that his conduct has been
prejudieial to the repute of the Fed
eral judiciary. Specific instances of
misconduct are outlined against MIN.
Admitting that the charges of this
committee are not proved, and that
Judge Archibald may be acquitted as
was Judge Swayne several years ago.
We must still reflect upon the fact that
such proceedings in Congress are put
into active and orderly operation, and
that the dependent jurist has, as he
is entitled to, every opportunity to
prove his innocence without becoming
a victim of public prejudice or politi-
cal chieanery for the purpose of re-
moving from the bar of justice man
who might conflict with the carrying
out of certain sinister interests.

Post SAYS: Some of the standpatters

one is the New York Mail, which

had thought that kind of assisinity
was dead. American labor under

Our friend, the Post, and other
Democratic organs of like persuasion
made precisely this same kind of talk
in the old Cleveland campaign days,

of everything, the government running

it's height. The last few days have rip

that L is much better off in the barns.
Good weather 50 far throughout the
State in general has favored the cut
ting and curing. The crop is said to
be better than that of last year by
far, but not as good as was anticipat-
ed early in the season. during the wet
weather. The great quantity of water
is reported to have killed the grass on
low grounds. Old ground is not much
better than usual but the new ground
is fine. II may be said, in fact. that
new ground is pretty nearly always
good.
