NO LAND LEGISLATION
1.-THE ABSENT JURY

|
to the Anaconda Standard says:
There seems to be very little
prospects of public land legis-
lation during the short session.
Neither senate nor house publ:
land committees do anything
prior to the holiday recess, and
there is little indication that they
intend doing much during Jam
uary or February. 1t is partic-
ulary true that the house COM
mittee will do little that the
West wants after the first of
the year, fox when congress re-
assemblies, Representative Ora
ham of Illinois, a died-in-the-
wool conservationist will be
chairman of the house committee,
Representative Robinson, the old
chairmen, becomes governor of
Arkansas on Jan. LIST. Mr.. Ora
ham achieve dmuch notoriety in
Of merit of his case, is not get
ting fair hearing at the hands
of the senate; a vast majority of
the senators do not know what
the record and the evidence is,
and yet, when the arguments are
completed they will all respond to
their names on the last roll call,
and settle the fate of this man in
accordance with their general
judgment or bias, formed largely
from a superficial knowledge of
the charges. 1t is true that a
number of the senators have con-
scientiously read the evidence,
though they did not hear it Civ
en-, but that is not the general
rule, and it is a great reflection
upon the senate that the Arch
bald case should have been han
died as it has been. Judge Arch
bald has not had fair and in
partial trial at the hands of the
senate.
Very few members of the
United States senate have shown
any interest in the trial of Judge
:, Archibald, and throughout the
long hearing prior to the holiday
adjournment the senate was al
most deserted. Seldom were
more than 20 senators present
when witnesses were being eX--
, amined, and never more than
half those in attendance were
following the testimony. And
yet the full senate is to sit as a
jury and pass Upon the merits of
the impeachment brought by the
house of representatives. If any
jury in state or federal court
displayed the same lack of inter-
est during a trial that has been
shown by the senate in the Arch
bald case, and brought in a YER
dict of guilty, the higher courts
would not hesitate a minute to
reverse the lower courts. In
plain words, Judge Archibald,
regardless of the merits or lack
the past two years, first in the
| a linger investigation, Graham
was rank partisan on the Pin
Gu, t SIDE, and never lost an OPP
portunity to show his bias, not
Wlthstanding that committee was
appointed to make non-partisan
investigation. But his greatest
offense was in taking up and
giving publicity to muckrakers'
charges in the Controller bay
case, and then suddenly quash-
ing his investigation when it be-
came evident there was no scan
dial and that further hearings
would disclose this fact to tie
public. Graham comes from a
; state that has no public lands;
he represents that sentiment in
congress which is favorable to

j, ably opposed to every public land
