Federal Judge
Charged With
Serious Crimes
The United States Senate Is
Preparing to Impeach
Judge English

Washington, D. C.-The SEN
ate is preparing to impeach Fed
eral Judge English of East st.
Louis. He is charged with
high crimes and misdemean-
ors," which include favoritism in
the naming of receivers for
bankrupt business firms and di-
viding fees received by his ap-
pOintees.
While Judge English was indulging
in these practices he thundered
against 'law-defying" shop men dur
lng their nationwide strike. The
English court was an automatic in
junction mill.
A special committee of the house
has unanimously recommended ina
peachment. The accused will face the
senate, whose members are sworn to
act as a high court of impeachment.
Judge English will be ordered to ap-
pear before the trial court and the
managers Of the house will present
their evidence. Following this the
nigh court will hear arguments. 1t
Will require a two-thirds vote to find
him guilty Forfeiture of office anG
of all rights as citizen is the limit
penalty that may be imposed.
This is the tenth time in the history
of the United States that the senate
has considered impeachment charges.

BUSINESS MEN
BOYCOTT AMERICAN SHIPS

New York-lf American business
men want an American merchant ma
rine, let them cease patroniZing for
Clgn vessels.
This is the substance of an address
by 7. V. O'Connor, chairman of the
United States shipping board, before
the American Manufacturers Export
association.
Mr.. O'Connor made this significant
suggestion:
eff this organization wants to
be of real help to the American
merchant marine, | would advise
that you appoint a committee
from the importers and the ex-
porters and let them give the
necessary orders, and your Amer
lean merchant marine will be a
success.
"The vessels which we operate are
not in competition with privately
owned American ships. We are not
in competition with any American in
the shipping business unless that
American owns stock in foreign
shipping company. If we sell line
to an American citizen, we certainly
do not interfere with his progress, be
cause on the line which he buys he

his audience, for the latter bought the
girl, undoubtedly paying what was a
big sum in those days.
1t was such scenes as this that en-
couraged the slaves of those days CO
fight for liberty. 1t has been a des-
perate struggle all down through the
centuries. There have been a few
who aided the workers in securing lib
erty, but to combat them were the
many.
The struggle for liberty is not yet
finished. 1t will go on and on as long
as there is anyone who is seeking EN-
ployment and another seeking an en-
ploye. Because of that fact the.
workers for self-protection must unite.
to meet the problems that are sure t
arise. An unorganized worker is
volceless. His grievance cannot be
known. But when he joins trade
union he adds one to the many voices
hat are continually demanding better
food, better clothing, better homes,
better laws, better courts.
When the slaves of the old days
were able to buy their freedom they
united into what they called collegias,
probably tn first form of trade un-
ions.
The trade union movement has gone
through many trials and made many
sacrifices since those days. But their
members have continually gone for
ward. They have found tremendous
obstacles in the endeavor to secure a
higher and better life.
The wage worker of today must
nave protection and the only protec-
ton can come through his fellow
worker. His duty to himself and
those who are dependent upon IS to
Join the trade union of his craft Or
calling. He will then have no fear of

cal monopoly, as far as American
flag ships are concerned.
"Since 1921 this board has sold
more than 1900 ships, 800 of which
are sailing the oceans under the
American flag. Bids have been ask
ed for other important lines"
Mr.. O'Connor cited instances to
prove his point that American
business men do not patronize
American ships, while publicly
bemoaning that this country has
no merchant marine.
He showed that the steel trust, this
year, carried~les than 400 tons of it D.,
products in American ships from
New York to South Africa, and in the
same period foreign ships carried
more than 5000 tons of the same
products to the same ports, while the
steel trust sets rates for this freight.
The speech is in line with an ad-
dress by United States Senator Rams
dell Of Louisiana in 1921 in which it
was shown that many large railroad
systems of this country had contracts
with foreign vessels to export Amer
ican freight. Some of these railroads
agreed to use their influence to Sc
cure lower taxes and cheap dockage
and coal charges in American cities
for these foreign vessels.

EDITOR WINS
Carl Magee's Pardon Upheld by State
Supreme Court

Albuquerque, N. Mex.-The state
supreme court has upheld Governor
Hinkle's pardon of Carl Magee, New
Mexico editor, who was sentenced by
Judge Leahy to ninety days in Jail
for contempt of court. The newspap-
er man opposed Leahy's election. The
governor pardoned Magee last year,
but this was ignored by the sheriff,
who held that the governor had no
authority to issue the pardon. After
three days in Jail Magee was releas-
ed on habeas corpus proceedings and
the case was carried to the supreme
court.
1t was Magee who gave the first
important "lead" to the congressional
committee that was investigating the
transfer of the Teapot Dome oil
lease. He went to Washington as a
witness and told of Secretary of the
Interior Falls sudden prosperity and
the improvements on his ranch prop
erty following the oil transfers.

Would Wreck
Compensation
Law in Effect
Private Liability Companies
Would Exploit Injured
Labor

Olympia, Wash.-Private in
surance interests are attempting
to wreck the workmen's COM
pensation law of this state. They
ask the legislature to adopt op-
tional insurance for employers.
Under this system, employers
may choose their own insurers,
and the profiteers will secure a
foothold in the very profitable
business of caring for injured
employees. These profiteers
plead that their plan will be
more economical to employers,
but one friend of state insur-
ance replies:
"Under the optional plan industrial
insurance will cost very much more.
When these fellows get their hoped
for entering wedge they will walk in.
to the industrial insurance depart
ment at Olympia, look over the rec
ords, which are public documents,
pick out all the good ricks, and go
olt and write them up. That leaves
your state fund to carry all the poor
er risks-and that being the case, the
state fund will have to raise its rates.
Then the private companies will
raise their rates proportionately, and
soon all will be paying the higher
rates that are now being charged in
every state that has optional insur-
ance. You can't get away from it, so
don't put your head in the moose.

Here's Gratitude!

Officer Curt Berry, one of the
ablest men on the police force,
who has efficiently served as
captain, chief of detective force
and desk sergeant on many oc-
casions, recently reported fol-
duty after having been confined
at home by illness and was given
a beat in the outskirts and a
night trick at that-from ten
o'clock until six next morning.
This dirty deal is the reward
a good man gets for doing his
duty irrespective of conse-
quences, and shows to what
schemes some men will resort to
get the scalp of a person they
wish to crowd down and out,
which it is alleged is how the cat
las jumped in regards to Curt.

Bread Trust
PrOfiteers to
Gouge Public
Members of the House Have
Started Attack on Million
Dollar Merger

Washington, D. C.-Convinced
that the Department of Justice
and the Federal Trade Commits
sion will pay no attention to the
bread trust, members of the
house have started an attack on
this billion dollar merger.
A resolution introduced by Con-
gresham SABBATH declares that the
promoters of the trust were guilty of
"unconscionable proflteering" during
the war.
The resolution charges that the
Ward interests, headed by William B.
Ward, have secured control of the
three greatest corporations in the
baking industry. These are the Ward
the General Baking corporation, with
~ plants; and the Continental Baking
corporation, with 106 plants.
The trust promoters, it is stated,
will capitalize the merger at an
amount exceeding S1,000,000,000, al
though the combined assets of the
three baking corporations as shown
by their most recent balance sheets,
are only $14,832.97, including millions
for good will, trade marks, and so
forth.
"Thus these corporations now con-
'ain more than $2O0,000,00O of water,
and in the event of final merger the
promoters intend to inject hundreds
of millions more. Dividends on this
huge flood of water which does not
represent a dollar of actual invest
nent, can be paid only by charging
the public excessive prices for bread"
The price of General Baking COM
pany's original stock has increased
from So share in 1916 to more than
S1,250 in 1925.

Oh, Lord! How Long?

From all appearance this bus
mess Of detouring when jour-
neying 20 Columbus promised to
be an unnecessary nuisance,
long drawn out. In fact it's 60
ing to last all winter, and con-
tinue goodness knows how far
into next spring, if not later.
Ii the Hired Man" is not mis-
taken they promised us that the
entire job, from Newark to
Granville, would be completed
and open for traffic by the firs5
of December, or at least some
time during that month. And
:nw, le and behold, we are being
held up because Of this cussed
bridge, Of which not even the
Gtutments are completed.
When it was found, after win
i(l weather was about to arrive,
that the completion of the bridge
would be impossible until spring,
why not a temporary structure
erected which would permit the
use Of the pike to Granville with
out forcing travellers to use an
inccnverient detour, such as
they have for some time an0
will continue to do until the blue
! Ids come again?
Or if there was any possibil-
ity of not finishing the job, the
old bridge had better been lei
alone until good weather return
ed and then rushed through.
Either would have been prefer
able to the balled up condition
which now confronts us.
AS is usual in such cases, the
public is forced to suffer the
bother and inconvenience which
result from what seems to be
the short-sighted policy of those
who are in charge of the job.
If there is any satisfaction in
cussing 'em out, go to it.

Norris Would Abolish Lame Duck"
Congress

Washington, D. C.-Senator Norris
constitutional amendment to abolish
the "lame-duck" congress and inaugu-
rate presidents in January, instead of
March, is favored by the senate ju-
dietary committee.
Under the present system congress
is elected in November, but is not
sworn in until a year from the follow
ing December-13 months later. \
congress that may be repudiated by
the people thus continue to make laws.
This permits 'lame-duck" represen
tatives and senators to pass vicious
legislation, because they are no long
er answerable to the people.
This system was adopted by the

Wheeler Routs
His Foes Was
He Victimized?
Conspiracy Charges Against the
Senator Quashed in the
Supreme Court

Washington, D. C.-The con-
spiracy Indictment against Sen
ator Wheeler was quashed in the
District Columbia supreme
court. This case, which has
been called "Daugherty persecu-
tion," is now closed unless the
department of justice appeals.
Senator Wheeler was indicted in
Montana on charges of conspiracy to
defraud the United States in the mat
ter of oil and gas permits. The
charges were initiated by Attorney
General Daugherty when Senator
Wheeler took prominent part in the
fight that drove Daugherty out of the
cabinet. Senator Wheeler was ac-
Quilted in the Montana court and a
senate committee eXonerated him af-
ter an investigation.
He was then indicted in the District
of Columbia, and this charge is now
quashed.
Prior to Senator Wheeler's third
victory, the senate approved the pres
ident's nomination Of Wellington D.
Rankin to succeed John L. Slattery
as federal district attorney for Mon
tana. Slattery's term expired. He
prosecuted Senator Wheeler in Mon
tana, and is charged with being pant
of the Daugherty frame-up. The ac-
was notified that if Slat-
terry was re-appointed fight against
him would be started in the senate.
AS committee of that body had ex-
onerated Senator Wheeler it is hardly
possible the senate would indorse
Slattery. The new district attorney
is a brother of Miss jeanette Rank
