East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-12-03

Washington, Dec. 3.-The senate
today resolved itself into a high court
of impeachment at twelve thirty to
try Robert w. Archibald, associate
justice of the commerce court on a
charge of ''misbehavior and misde-
meanors in office"
Senator Bacon of Georgia, is presi-
dent pro tenn of the senate court. 1t
adjourned six minutes later after ad-
opting a method of procedure.
Washington, Dec. 3.-For the ninth
time in the history of the United
states. its most plenary power-im-
parchment proceedings-was exer-
cised today by the senate.
Robert w. Arhbald, associate JUS
tce of the new commerce court, was
the defendant. His impeachment trial
began, with a committee of seven
representatives acting as prosecutors.
'Misbehavior and misdemeanors" in
office were the formal charges against
Judge Archibald. The indictment,
presented by the house, consists of
thirteen articles, a most scathing
and bitter arraignment of the federal
judge.
Use of his office for personal pro-
fit Is the substance of all of the
charges against the defendant. He is
charged with attempting to float deals
in refuse coal deposits in Pennsylva-
MIA, through railroad officials and
also improper receipt of favors from
attorneys before his court
Sweeping denial of wrongdoing was
made by Judge Archibald to every one
of the thirteen charges against him.
He contends that no improper motive
can be predicted from any of his acts,
private or official and that he never
gained or sought to profit by impro-
per use of his office
When the senate met today 1t was
planned to devote from two to four
hours daily to taking testimony of the
100 witnesses who will be called for
both the government and the defense
About 20 witnesses were before the
house judiciary committee when the
impeachment charge was under in
vestigation. At those hearings Judge
Archibald, by force of precedents,
could not and did not submit any evil
dence or offer testimony of any wit
nesses. He did not take the stand
himself Whether he will testify be-
fore the senate has not been disclosed
The impeachment trial today was
the first held in the senate since
Judge Swayne, federal district judge
in Florida, was tried and acquitted
in 1905.

Foolish Laws.

A Kansas City paper recently
compiled list of the foolish laws
on the statute books of Kansas.
Some of these laws and the penal
ties they impose are as follows:
To fail to clean a henhouse
once every twenty-four hours, $25
fine.
TO sell dime novel with an
account of crime, 500 fine.
To keep tame pigeons, Sis.
ITO talk back to a policeman,
$1O0.
TO sic one dog on another,
500.
ITO hitch a horse to a weight
weighing less than thirty pounds,
$R5.
TO throw rice at newly-wed
couples, 500.
TO white on fence, $25.
$40 spit a wad of gum in a
street car, $25.
To have a barbed wire fence
around your premises, $25.
To carry a stone out of another
mans yard, $50.
To throw a banana peeling into
Cow Creek, 500.
TO watch a corn doctor work
his jaw on the street, $50"
All of these laws are not utterly
foolish, but the offenses aimed at
are IN most cases of such trihing
nature as scarcely to arise to the
dignity of such legislation. They
could be more appropriately dealt
with in city and town ordinances,
and some of them, indeed, are
hardly sufficiently important to
consume the time of a City Coun-
ell or board of village trustees.
There is too much of tendency
an all legislatures to clutter up the
statute books with useless and
trivial laws. Kansas has gone no
further in that line than some
other States have gone, and it is
probable that a search of the as
sembly acts of almost any State
would bring to light number of
ridiculous laws which might better
have been left off the books.
Most States have an amplitude
of laws for the punishment of all
offenses. The progress of the
world demands new legislation
from time to time to meet new
conditions and problems. If our
Legislative bodies fulfill the re-
quirements in this regard they
will have so much serious business
before them that they can well
afford to leave the trivialities to
the solons of the village councils.

needed winter pruning. If done
annually the pruning will usual
be light one, but in perhaps a
majority of orchards in Kentucky,
the work is neglected from year to
year until more radical treatment
may be necessary. In trees thus
neglected, IN which little recent
growth has been made and with
lowered vitality. vigorous winter
pruning tends to quicken the ac-
tivity of the tree, and if followed
by feeding, cultivation, and spray
ing, will often bring such trees
into a profitable bearing condition
within short>time.
A tree, however, already grow
ing vigorously will require prun-
ing somewhat guardedly, as Sc
we're pruning at this season will
often result in a rank growth of
water sprouts during the sprin9
and summer. ANY such over
growth of q tree when seen in q
mature specimen is usually due to
a strong soil. thorough tilling or
over manuring. and may usually
be checked nv withholding tillage
and manure and seeding down for
a while.
In one of it's fundamental OBJ
jects pruning is not materially un-
like the purpose of a farmer when,
in his cornfield, by re-planting or
thinning he tries to secure a uni
form stand of plants, neither too
few nor too many stalks in each
hill, according to the kind of corn,
fertility of the land, purposes of
crop and other conditions.
So in tree top it is important, I
among other things, for the lar
gest production of fruit that there
should be a full stand" of
branches, forming round full
headed tree-with such modifica-
tons of form as are Characteristic
of the variety-well filled on all
sides, yet no where SO crowded as
to prevent the free circulation of
air and liberal admission of light.
The most common error in the
practice of pruning is in cutting
branch several inches out from the
main stem upon which it grew.
Frequently this pruning is done
with an ak, leaving stubs three to
six inches long. This is ruinous
practice, for the long stub cannot
be covered over with new healing
tissue, and in a few years decay
will be started in this spur and
soon travel down into the main
branch or trunk of the tree; finally
resulting in rotten hearted or
hollow tree, a delightful place
while-it lasts for the woodpeckers
to nest, but soon destined to be
broken down in a gale of wind or
sleet storm. Thousands of apple
and other trees in Kentucky have
been brought to an untimely end
through such careless methods of
pruning, as witnessed in orchards
all over the State.
The orchard is no place for an
axman. Let him stay in the wocE\
lot. ~
In removing the brancIyGf a tree
it is of great Importance to saw it
off to the branch or trunk upon
which it was growing. If it is a
large and heavy branch, first make
an undercut upon the lower side
of the limb, then complete upon
the upper side so that in falling
away the branch may not tear off
a strip of wood and bark. leaving
an ugly wound upon the main
branch. The cut surface, if more
than an inch across, should be,
brushed with paint or some similar1l
material to prevent decay starting
in the wood before it has time to
become healed over.
