many proud family has grovelled
in the dust of humiliation over the
loss of a beloved daughter, who was
as absolutely lost as the poor little
moth who worked in department
store or factory.
This being true, the demand for
reform in the fiction of the day
should be universal. There seems to
have unconsciously developed, a de-
mand for the risque and the question
able in fiction, which was undreamed
of twenty years ago.
Just as the detective stories Of
Conan Doyle started a new school of
fiction of that sort, so have the sto-
ries of Robert Chambers and his class
started new school of writer's
which has about reached the limit
of decency.
Seemingly, We have no young girls

points" which make her vince.
The silly season in fiction is on in
full swing, and if you have not real
lied it, buy up lot of the popular
priced magazines, and wade through
ten or dozen of the stories in them,
and you will soon be convinced.

ARCHIBALD
FOUND GUILTY.

After exhaustive nearing and fan
that Robert W. Archibald of the
Con merce Court ct Washington has
been adjudged guilty If conduct that
was unworthy an honest Judge; In
compatible with the public welfare
and calling for his removal from Of
fice-this by a Senate vote of SO
sweeping and decisive ia majority as
to practically eliminate all doubt with
respect to the justice of his fate.
It's quite possible to feel very great
sympathy with Judge Archibald and
yet approve the action of the Senate
which removes him from the bench
At the time the proceedings against
him were instituted his friends and
neighbors were canvassed for theil
opinions of him and the general testi-
mony was that he was good man.
but exceedingly eager to get rich
That exceeding eagerness is danger
Gus thing for any man. Many 'busl-
ness man of high degree, as we'll as
clerk or cashier, has been ruined
thereby. 1t is especially dangerous fol
a Judge, whose duties require absolute
impartiality and complete disinterest,
edness in the cases tried before him.
1t is not necessary to 60 into the
details of the evidence presented b,
the managers of the impeachment OF
to discuss the credibility of the WitneE
ses. Nor is it necessary in approving
the action of the Senate to assume hin
to be consciously corrupt. But HI
certainly did not keep his ermine clear
His eagerness to make money led hin
to compromise his judicial integrity
He did not sell decision or decree
but he did use his judicial position a.
a means of making favorable barg
ain. He allowed himself to incur barg
cations from which he ought TO hav
been perfectly free.
Sorrow for Archibald, we ma.
properly feel-sorrow for him ant
sympathy for his family and friend
but naught can be written down t
lessen the enormity or the gravity o
his offence.

are also awaiting death.
Handsome, wonderfully strong ard
