FAVOR EARLY VOTE
ON ARCHIBALD CASE

Washington, Jan 9.-When the
impeachment trial of Judge Arch
bald charged with misconduct, was
resumed today in the senate, the SEN
timent seemed to favor an early vote
on the disposition of the case. AS
the trial nears it's close, the senators
are disposed to be friendly toward
the jurist but expressed little hope
that sufficient votes would be cast to
prevent verdict against him. Arch
bald has been unmoved throughout
the arguments of the house prpsecu-
tors.
1t was suggested today that the
senate might remove Archibald from
office without enforcing the second
part of the impeachment penalty,
disqualification for office holding but
the indications were that the full
penalty will be imposed. The latest
poll of the senate showed that not
more than fifteen members would
vote for Archibald.

WANTS LARGE SUM
TO BUILD MAUSOLEUM

Pendleton is to have a mausoleum
in connection with the Olney ceme-
terry if the people of the city will sub
scribe the modest sum of $4,000 to
the Portland Mausoleum Co. for the
use of such an institution. The city
council placed the matter squarely
up to the citizens last evening when
1t granted the company permission
to construct a mausoleum within the
cemetery and now all that remains
is for 200 people to subscribe $500
each for the 200 vaults which the
proposed mausoleum will contain. .
The matter has been before the
council for several months in the
form of a petition for a deed to the
necessary ground within the ceme-
terry. Various objections have caused
considerable delay but finally the
aldermen decided to place the matter
before the people.

EX-GOVERNOR HOCH DELIVERS HIS
MESSAGE FROM KANSAS LAST NIGHT

A message from Kansas, interest
ing, entertaining, helpful and inspir-
ing, and delivered in the pleasing and
forceful tones of veteran orator
was brought to the people of Pendle-
ton last evening by Hon. Edward w.
Hoch, ex-governor of the Sunflower
State, and one of the most distin-
guished political figures I'm the ma
ton. The auditorium of the Chris
tian church was pretty well filled
with men, women and young people
desirous of hearing the man whose
achievements, while the chief eXecu-
tive of a progressive commonwealth,
won him national renown.
Governor Hoch covered II wide
field during the two hours he spoke
last night and, whether he was
enunciating his personal convictions,
describing the peculiar virtues of his
state, reciting the progressive and
reformatory laws which Kansas has
enacted or bestowing advice for the
guidance of young men, he was ac-
corded n hearty response from his in
terested audience.
The speaker announced from the
outset that he is an optimist and be-
leves that the world is continually
growing better. Evidences of this are
to be found in almost every institution
of man, he declared, in the improve
ment of the educational methods and
facilities, in the broadening of the
church and its influence, in the re-
form policies adopted for state pris-
ons, in the mems religious movements

owners Sign Petition-West Webb
Street Improvement.

With the presentation to the coun-
Gil last evening of a petition to pave
twenty more blocks on West Webb
street, indications are that the street
improvement activity of the past
year was only a precursor of more
extensive Improvement in 1918. The
petition called for the paving of
West Webb street from Cosbie to Tu-
tuilla, which latter street is the
boundary line of the city. Should
this improvement be cone, Webb
street will have a hard surface for
twenty-seven continuous blocks, four
blocks, from Cottonwood to Cosbie
being already paved and three more
from Cottonwood to College, being
ordered.
The new petition was signed by a
large number of property owners, a
majority of those affected, 1t is said,

of the supreme needs of the country.
Governor Hoch declared in ringing
voice, The greatest question con-
fronting the American people TODAY
Is not the tariff question, not the
money question not the industrial
question, but the question of law en-

he would not enforce the law which
gives the negroes the same rights as
