WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.--Following
on the heels Of the impeachment OF
Judge Robert w. Archibald Senator
Pomerene of Ohio introduced joint
resolution proposing a constitutional
amendment that congress may pro

than those now provided for, and 9th
er methods for the trial of all public
officials except the president, vice
president and supreme court mem

The senator's idea he said was to
broaden the constitutional limitations
upon Impeachment So as to remove by
statute all doubt of congress right to
impeach an official who could not be
indicted.

said. land still be better judge than

improper use of his position"

Female labor is responsible for a
considerable portion of the social and
economic wrongs of the time" said
he. Whatever reason business men
may give for employing woman is the
underlying reason that women work
cheaper than men. The male is today
and always will be the economic and
social unit of the family.
There are thirty million of work
ers in the county of which seven mil
lion are women and if the increase ia
the same in the next decade as it was
in the last there will be ten million
women workers with fewer men and in
consequence we will have an eco,

country" said the speaker and he re-
ferred to the statements of President
elect Wilson made in Chicago last
Saturday along that line.

men, and the business men must
lead, and not follow, in solving the
problems of the day.
