ARCHBALD'S SgIAMELESSNESS.

That is an amazing story that is be-
ing told about the action of Judge
Archibald. now on the interstate COM
mercc court, i'm seeking to make pro-
fit out of his judicial position. In one
case his notes were offered for sale
to litigants and when the offer was
refused, tie litigants lost their case.
Afterward they were told by Judge
Archbald's partner that if they had
taken the notes, the Ease probably
would not have been decided as it
was. In another instance, the testi-
mony shows, Judge Archibald sought
an option from the Erie railroad,
when that corporation was a litigant
in his court. These are appalling stor-
les of a shameless willingness TO
prostitute the bench TO the advantage
OF the judge who was presumed to
administer justice. Yet there have
been other instances that have
brought no punishment. Judge l-ur-
ton, now on the supreme court, and
Judge Grosscup, long on the circuit
court OF appeals are both known TO
have received favors from corpora
tions interested in litigation in their
courts. Judge Archibald seems to have
gone farther 'or ne actually solicit
ed consideration from litigants
while tho Others simply received iav-
ors.
But the proper standard for the
Judiciary surely prohibits theslight'
est obligation upcn the part of the
court to those coming before it il
lawsuits. Judge Archibald will be pro-
perly impeached and the amazing
story of his abuse of his office should
cause greater care than ever in the
selection of the men to occupy the
benches of this country.

FOURCHE DAM IS
NOW FULLY REPAIRED
BLOCKS WASHED OUT ARE RE.
PLACED WITH CONCRETE
AND E.lM is FILLING
UP AGAIN.

Belle Fourche. S. D.--Repairs on
the storage dam of the Belle Fourche
Irrigation project near here are now
completed. The dam ives injured TO
the extent of $4,000 by the heavy
storm OF two weeks ago when the
nigh water and wind caused some of
the concrete blocks to slip down and
weaken the structure. Hhese facing
blocks were replaced and reinforced
with concrete filling and anchored
with steel bars. The engineers de-
clare that the dam is now in a con-
dition to withstand an aver heavier
storm than the recent one, without
further loss.
To accomplish this repair work. a
force of 40 men with a steam crane
was necessary and 10000 acre feet
of water was let out of the reservoir
to get at the spots to be repaired.
This water can be replaced In four
days.

THD WORK OF ANDERSON.

AS the result of the work of a soft
spoken, modest man sent from Mitch
ell to become state auditor, one of the
baldest scandals in the history OF the
state has been exposed. So effectu-
ally has Henry Anderson made his in
vestigation into the frauds practiced
in the collection OF wolf bounties,
that one county auditor has confess
ed and the deputy county auditor of
another county is under arrest and
three others are in custody. The coun-
ey auditor of Fall River county has
admitted that he made out fictitious
certificates which were discounted at
local banks by his confederates, aft
er which the money was divided.
1t was not at all obligatory upon
Anderson to inquire into the reason
why thousands of wolf bounties were
claimed in a few counties in the
Black Hills. The state had placed a
limit upon the total amount to be
paid in these b~ounties, so the state
treasury was not suffering. But a
fraud was being committed. Those
who had rightful claims for bounties
were obliged to share money that
really belonged to them. with others
who had nc right to any OF the re-
ward.
From the books of the state aud
itor's office. Henry Anderson worked
out, in months of careful, painstaking
inquiry, a complete statement of what
the various counties were doing and
this statement was enough to con-
vince any man that frauds had been
perpetrated. The rest was compara-
lively easy.
This is but a single illustration OF
the scrupulousness of Henry Ander-
son as the states representative. HeI
does not consider that his is a per-
functory duty, merely that of making
out warrants for the various claims

THAT ONE TERM SCHEME.

President Taft's suggestion that
tho president of the United States be
limited to mi term of fou or six
years, will not be taken up by the
American people. 1t nas never been
adopted by any enlightened democ-
racy anywhere. 1t is just as much a
challenge of the right of the people to
choose their servants as it would be
to say that a president must nave two
terms.
Suppose such n rule as this had
been in force during the Civil War
and L%incoln's term had expired in
the midst of the fighting. Can any one
say how disastrous this one regula-
ltion would have been?
Suppose Great Britain had any rule
or prejudice against repeated terms
of office for it's prime ministers, who
are analogous to the president in
this country. Gladstone served as
prime minister from 1868 to 1874;
from 1880 to 1885; a part Of 1886;
and from 1892 to 1894. In other
words, this Briton served four terms
for an aggregate of 13 years.. More
than that, throughout all this long
period he was the leader of the Lib
eral party, as much because of his
constant availability as a premier as
because of his qualifications for that
leadership. If law or custom had bar
red him from the Office of greatest
power, there can be no question but
that the brilliant pages of English
history written as a result of Glad
stones activity, would never have been
pcnned. Great Britain would have
been denied the services of the ablest
man of the entire century.
To limit the terms of public office
means that the people cannot be re-
lied upon to exercise judgment in the
selection of public officials. Further
more, it means the attachment of a
sort of penalty upon the peculiar
talents that are required to equip any
man for the best public service. Great

1871 office holders in the south as
delegates or a%lternates to the repub-

three were 22O. He was asked if he
thought these figures had any bearing
upon his present charge that Mr.. Taft
is using federal patronage to secure
the nomination. He replied:
In 1904 there was no opposition
