Blessed Thought.

1t is a blessed thought that from our
childhood God has been laying his
fatherly hands on US, and always in
benediction. When this feeling is
awakened, the heart beats with a
pulse of thankfulness. Every gift has
it's return of praise, and all
our whole life is thereby drawn under
the light of his countenance and is
filed with a gladness, serenity, and
peace which only thankful hearts can
know.-Rev. H. E. Manning.

STRIP ARCHIBALD
OF HIS ERMINE
lmpeached Commerce Court
Judge Found Guilty by Senate
GETS THE FULL PENALTY
Goes Home to Scranton Forever De,
barred from Holding Federal Office
Son Hears His Sentence
Unanimous for Removal.

Washington.-Robert w. Archibald,
Of Scranton, Pa, Judge of the United
States Circuit Court, detailed to serv-
ice in the United States Commerce
Court, was found guilty on five of the
thirteen articles of impeachment
charged against him by the House of
Representatives.
By a unanimous vote of the Senate,
this judge in his twenty-irst year of
service on the bench was removed
from Office, and by a vote of SO to 80
vas forever disqualified from holding
and enjoying any Office of trust, honor
and profit under the United States"
1t vas the first time since 1862 that
the Senate Of the United States has
impeached a public official. Then
Judge West H. Humphreys of the
United States District Court of Ten
nessee was removed because he had
gone over to the Confederate army.
The only other cases in which i'm
parchment proceedings were sustained
by the Senate was in 1904, when John
Pickering, Judge of the United States
District Court for New Hampshire,
was removed from Office for conduct
u~nbecoming a member of the bench.
There have been all told only nine
trials since the founding of the Re
public, and five of these have been
against Federal judges.
The judge whose official career
came to such a tragic end received
the news of his sentence in an ante
room of the Senate Chamber. With
him were his wife and members of his
family. He seemed dazed at the re-
suit, but bore up under the disgrace,
maintaining that the public was de-
mandfng a victim from the judiciary
and that he had been sacrificed.
Judge Archibald himself was not
obliged to undergo the ordeal of facing
the bar of the Senate when sentence
was announced, but his son, who had
acted as one of his fathers counsels,
sat through it all with bowed head.
The Senate held Judge Archibald
guilty on five of the articles of i'm
parchment and acquitted him on eight.
Seventy-two Senators represented the
maximum voting strength. Judge
Archibald was convicted on the first,
third, fourth, fifth and thirteenth ar.
ticles. The vote in his favor ranged
all the way from 5 on the first article
to IS on the tenth article.
The sentence imposed on Judge
Archibald was contained in. a resolu-
ton offered by Senator O'Gorman of
New York, who was himself a mem
Der of the bench before he came to
Washington. The resolution was in
this form:
Ordered that the respondent be re
moved from the Office that he now
holds and be forever disqualified from
holding and enjoying any office of
honor, trust or profit under the United
States"
1t is the intention of Judge Archibald
to at once open a law office and re.
sumo the practice of his profession.
Judge Archibald refused to comment in
any way on the action of the Senate.

Cairo, EgyptlrLast year more than
$4,000 tourists from every part of the
globe disembarked at Alexandria TO
winter in the Nile Valley. The elo-
quence of these figures shows not
only that the taste for travel is at
tracing every class Of society, but
also that this desire has been fully
satisfied by the steamship and rail-
way companies, by the tourist agen-
cies and the river boat companies.
The journey up the Nile can be di-

second from Assouan to Khartoum,

BELLlMGHAM
Manning and
Manslau9hter

In the state of Washington $4,000
persons are employed in hazardous oc-
equations, according TO the industrial
insurance commission, which has been
in operation seventeen months. Dur
ing this time 1926 persons have been
injured and 405 have been killed. Do
you understand the meaning of these
figures? One worker in eight has
been injured and one i'm $50 has been
killed in the brief period of seven
teen months.
You mill workers and loggers, what
are you going to do to stop this
slaughter? The above figures are
given out by commission composed
of men who represent capitalism, and
It is reasonable to suppose that they
would not exaggerate or make the case
against themselves worse than 1t is.
1t is bad enough already. In proper
ton to population there are more
workers killed and injured in Wash
ington than in any other division of
the United States.
Mill workers and loggers, is 1t not
time for you to remedy this horrible
condition? You must do it yourselves.
Nobody else is going to attend to it.
The workers of West Virginia and
Louisiana are doing something to pro-
tect themselves, and to that extent
have given notice that they are men
who will no longer be underpaid and
overworked and murdered like slaves.
Being a millworker and a socialist,
do not feel that have a right to offer
any blubbering sympathy to the mill
workers of Louisiana nor to the min
ers of West Virginia, who have the
courage to look after themselves and
would be justified in telling me: Look
after your own slave pen, for we are
better off than you" And so they are.
The mill workers of Louisiana have
sense enough to organize and make
fight. l don't know how it is in other
parts of the state, but here in Belling-
ham there is no organization among
the mill workers that is worth the
slightest mention, with the sole excep-
ton of he single weavers. Theirs is
a fighting organization and always has
been, and they are now urging mill
workers to come into that union on
the same terms as single weavers.
AS a matter of self-preservation, if
they wish to live at all, the millwork-
ers should come into the weavers' I'M
ion by the heundred until every mill
is organized completely.

housekeeper for her lord and mas
ter? Will replacing Mrs. Moore
with some other teacher decrease the
class struggle or help one bit towards
bringing on the social revolution? A
socialist is generally supposed to be a
little in advance of the time. Com
rade Woldenberg is not even up to
date; he is about two hundred years
behind the time His ideas of wom-
ans place in the home are those OF
medieval times, as is shown by his
insinuation that Mrs. Moore should be
the slave instead of the helpmate OF
her husband.
1t is not our mission to cut down
the standard of living for any worker,
but to abolish the wages system and
thus make it possible for all workers
to live in affluence.

THAT WIFE TEACHER AGAIN.

l want to Chew the rag" for just
about two minutes and half with my
dear Comrade Woldenburg in regard
to his attitude on the wife teacher.
If the comrade thought that the man
and wife were jointly commanding
too large a salary, it seems to me that
it would have been more consistent to
have voted to reduce the mans salary
from SLIPS to $3.50, the same as the
wife received.
1t seems hardly just to punish and
prosecute the woman.
She has doubtless spent the best
years of her life qualifying for her
chosen calling and she has a perfect
right to choose her line of work I'M
less she has small children in the fam
ily. and in that case she would not
want to teach. A woman has the
same right that man has to choose
her life work.
The women teachers are doing the
hard work of the school room while
some man teacher as superintendent
is sitting in his office all day looking
wise and drawing the big salary. No
wonder some of the "big guns think
socialism would break up the home.
Women teachers of New York have
forced the legislature to give them
Justice. Like pay for like work. In
my home school here, having eight
teachers, the one holding the lowest
grade papers receives the highest sal
airy. He is the principal and m2n.
This is no uncommon occurrence.
So this old gag that the high salary
follows the high qualifications don't
seem to pan out. All that a man teach
err has to do to hold a good job in
the schools is TO stand pat with the
churches and lodges, stand for every
thing and nothing, be a good mixer
etc. 1t is time we were exchanging
views a little on the school question.
II is bound to be a very vital issue in
all socialist propaganda in the near
future.
Yours for cleaner concepts in all
matters pertaining to education.

REAL ESTATE ROBBERY.

"a lumber manufacturer recently
sold a tract of logged-off land in south
western Washington at fifteen dollars
per acre." says the West Coast Lum-
herman. "The real estate firm that
made the purchase resold this tract at
fifty dollars an acre. This is an I'M
healthy proposition and does not tend
to encourage immigration. That land
should have gone direct to farmers in
small tracts at the first price. The
lumberman would have been glad to
have sold it to farmers direct, but he
had no way of reaching them. So the
middleman came in and got away with
the swag."
A land company in eastern Wash
ington sells orchard land to suckers
at $500 an acre, and reserves to itself
the right to cultivate between the
rows Of young trees for four years
Hence the land sharks can sell spuds
in the coast towns for 81 to SO ton
and that puts local producers on the
bum entirely.
But it is opening peoples eyes, and
they are seeing their salvation in so
cialism.

This department has received many
inquiries for information concerning
the poll tax laws and restriction of the
suffrage. The inquiries have come
from socialists and members of the
trade unions in the South who realize
the evil and are anxious to help in
overthrowing 1t. This department is

subject and would be glad to receive
anything that any OF the comrades
anywhere can offer
Socialist Party Members in the Pro-
fesslons.
An effort is being made by the in
formation department to collect the
names Of the members of the socialist
party who belong to the professions.
There is a two-fold object in this eff
fot-first, to show the proportion of
educated and especially trained men
in the socialist party, and, second,
(and what is much more Important
to enlist the technically trained COM
rades in the constructive work which
the party must do. More and more
the comrades everywhere are realiz-
ing their need of technical informa-
ton that can be relied upon to help
them in their tasks as members of
city councils, school boards and state
legislatures. Already a number of
consulting engineers, scientists, spe-
cial students and others are assisting
the party through this department 1t
is hoped that this list may be greatly
heightened and strengthened.
Comrades who themselves have
some technical training in any par
ticular line, or who know of comrades
that have such attachments, should
send information to this department
and correspondence will be opened
with them.
A Good Brief Statement of Socialism,.
There are so many requests for very
brief, concise and yet effective state
ments of socialism that we fell justi-
fled in publishing the following as an
illustration of that kind of writing. 1T
was sent to the department by Com
rade H. S. McMaster, NJ. D., Of Dowag-
lac, and is as follows:
The four leading demands of social
ism in few words and logically ar
ranged:
1. That every one shall have op-
portunity at all times to produce a
living.
2. That each shall receive the full
product of his labor.
For these two ends
g. That the public shall own all
public utilities.
A. That these shall be democratic
ally and industrially managed.
These four principles will give us
socialism.
