~. Judge Archibald was known
to be the kind of a man he is be-
fore his appointment to the
Commerce Court and was pro
tested against by those who
knew and wanted this bench
clean. but President Taft APP
pointed him over these protests
because Archibald was urged up
on him by Senator Penrose of
Pennsylvania, Republican par
ty boss. whose own record might
be more savory. Let the i'm
peachnent proceedings fail in
this case and the people will
have no other recourse against
Archibald. he can go on
his office as long as it
suits his pleasure, convenience
and profit. 1t is for the puf-
pose Of dealing with just such
cases that the people are de-
manding the recall power. We
here a comment from
the Pittsburg pa Press, which
seems to be familiar with Judge
Archibald:
In fact, Judge Archbold is about
as much in need of Wind ication as
ANYBODY the public knows anything
about. His appointment was d
proceeding in the first
place. The Court of Commerce is
called upon to decide railroad cases
in which SO much money is at stake
that no man whose associations had
ever be such as to excite the least
suspicion should have been given any
whatever. Archbold VIZ
long ago accused publicly of Stand
ard Oil taint Whether he is ac-
quilted of the present charge or
not, it is evid ent that his appoint
ment to the Commerce Court was
a bIunder.

Men And Brutes.

! Sometimes when we see what passe.
| for men, handling what is supposed
| to be brutes, we have some difficulty
in determining which is really tht
man and which is really the brute
Contact with lower animals reveal the
also reveals the better and worse ma
ture of the brute.
We have seen men who never have
kind word for d horse, whose ide: OF
handling colt is that of breaking
rather than training, and who con
stantly punish horses for their own
mistakes. While there are some
horses which, like some men, are
naturally vicious, speaking generally
the horse reveals the character of the
man who drives it. If he is kind
man. and intelligent, the bearing of
the horse will show it. If he is a
nervous man, the horse, accustomed
for ages to the guidance of man, shows
it. We Ouce saw a farmer attempt to
drive load Of corn up an incline to
unload at the elevator. The horses
evidently had no confidence in the
judgment of the man and baked.
A man who knew horses asked the
owner to give him the lines. He
spoke to them kindly and encourag-
ingly, and they went up without hesi-
tation or break. Men do not make
enough of their horses. The horse is
really the partner Of the man in farm
ing operations, and will give his con-
fdence and accept his guidance, if the
man knows how to inspire confidence
and how to guide. The horse is ma
turally a timid animal, and will flee
rather than fight. Its timidity should
be supplemented by mans courage.
You can tell good deal about a
man if you see him milk his cows.
The COW seems to understand good
milker. She has absolute confidence
and will give down readily and also
yield larger amounts of milk, because
she knows she is being handled by
true gentleman or lady.
We do not expect any man to learn
much wisdom from hog. The hog
has less sympathy than any animal
about the place except the cat, which
is totally unregenerate, absolutely
selfish, and has no sympathy at all,
but even the hog knows a good
master.
Sheep are such helpless and de-
pendent animals that they naturally
depend on the shepherds care They
have ages ago quit thinking for them
selves and the refore success in hand
ling them depends more upon the
man than anything else.
Who has not admired the devotion
of the dog to man? Originally wolf,
cowardly, treacherous, and yet by the
association with men of the higher
type he has become in the noblestform
almost human. intelligent. and shall
we say reasoning? Certainly he has
imbibed something of sense of hui
NOR. So nearly human has he be-
come that a farm boys life is not
complete without the companionship
of dog. g.-Wallaces' Farmer.

If President Taft is renolnin-
ated it will be by the contested
delegate and steam roller pro
cess. That this IS the plan
adopted by his campaign man
ayers to force him upon the peO-
pie for a second term, who. by
Il preponderance of sentiment,
are showing that they do not
want him at all, is shown III
their claim that. he already has
enough delegates to nominate
him on the first ballot. To get
this mum Der they have had to
lay claim to ali the delegates in
which they have entered con
tests and all that are uninStruct-
ed as we'll. Taft and his manag-
erS apparently feel confident
that the Republican National
Committee will steam roll all the
contests in his favor and seat his
linen in making up the temporary
roll. This would give them con
troll of the convention and, of
course. the committee on credeu
tials. But what of the after
math: Roosevelt has already
sounded the warning that there
must be square deal for all at
