MCNEIL ISLAND FEDERAL
PRISON. Wash, August 3 3--Finch r
Archer retired as warden Of the Fed

received a benedietion from almost
1000 convicts he has kept In prison.

Warden for IL Years.
Archer became warden II years age
through The late Republican Senator
Wesley L. Jones. whom he had no.
supported politically. He found here
what the Lantern refers 10 as "a
backwoods Jail" There was, on this
island. what was supposed TO repre-

farm" where prisoners who have
earned privileges may work with no
machine guns staring at them. Most
OF this was done by prison labor,
under the direction of Archer.
The Island Lantern became one OF
the foremost prison publications In
the world. There was talent--men
who could write, set type or cut wood
blocks for illustrations ran afoul OF
the Federal Government. They TOOK
a decrepit old press, repaired 1t, got
TO work and produced something all
the inmates are proud OF.
Archer encouraged inmates and
guards TO Join In purchase OF radio
equipment for all cell blocks, and the
prison has regular motion picture
shows.
An unusual school was created
Offering hundreds of courses, from
elementary reading to aeronautical
engineering and the fine arts. Prison
officials are rather proud OF the

After all, these men are human
beings" said Archer, ''and so long
as they conform to the rules and
earn all their privileges, they will
be treated as men and not as ami
mails. to be locked up and bullied."
Archer gives credit for enthusiastic
backing In the creation Of the model
prison" to Sanford Bates, Federal
director of prisons. Few men have
escaped Mcneil. Those who abused
the comparative freedom of the
''prison without walls and tried to
swim from the island TO the main
land, or to hide In the forest. have
generally been trapped in ring of
machine guns and guard boats.
Resigned Before.
Archer has resigned before, but the
Democratic administration asked him
to remain. Today he quit the post
for good, after training his successor
Ed Swope, penologist from New
Mexico. And the prisoners official
statement said:
Please know that wherever YOU
may go. you take with you the heart
felt wishes of the entire inmate body
for many years of happiness and con-
tentment."

JUDGES QUARREL
OVER DEATH CASE
Jurists Demand Each Quit
Amid Charges of Intoxi-
cation on Bench.
Rv the Aaaoeiated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, August 3.-The
controversy between two Superior
Court judges over the alleged miscon-
duct Of one Of them resulted in
legal tangle yesterday that apparently
clouded the status of the case Of Louis
r. Payne. 21-year-old convicted mur-
dered Of his mother and brother.
IN defiance of an order by Frank c.
Collier, presiding judge Of the Superior
Court, Judge Harry F. Sewell assumed
the bench yesterday in Payne's sanity
hearing and attempted TO resume the
taking OF testimony.
Judge Ruben S. Schmidt, who had
been substituted by Judge Fletcher
Bowron, presiding jurist IN the Grim
inal divisions, entered Judge Sewslfs S
court room and personally directed
removal Of Payne, the jury and the
case records to his own court.
Other Declares MistriaI.
Judge Sewell, whom Judge Collier
charged in an affidavit with drunken
ness while presiding in a civil case,
thereupon declared mistrial in the
Payne case.
Judge Bowron then assembled Judge
Sevell's bench and declared null and
void all orders and actions OF Judge
Sewell.
After this strange legal spectacle
the jury was marched out into Judge
Schmidt's court and testimony was
resumed.
Many questions OF law and pro-
cedure remained unanswered and the
exact status of the case appeared
clouded in the fog of controversy.
Judge Makes Statement.
While the court room was being
cleared Judge SeweH said:
Last night I learned for the first
time Of the existence Of an asserted
affidavit bearing my name and sup
posed to have been made last March.
In the first place, there is grand
jury in this county and the estab-
lished custom in selecting its mem
bers is for each judge to name five
candidates. This year ! named none.
I was not interested.
Il learned as long ago as last jan
uary that Presiding Judge Collier had
informed political opponent of mine
that he would get me out of office.
will meet any one, including Judge
Collier, any time in a court Of law
and answer all the charges he and
others have made against me-"
Has Missed Three Days.
Judge Collier has demanded the
resignation of Judge Sewell for al
legged drunkenness, and Judge Sewell,
declaring Judge Collier is without au-
thority to demand the resignation, has
asked that Judge Collier resign.
Three times in the last week Judge
Sewell has failed to appear on the
bench. His physician asserted the
jurist was suffering from bronchitis.
The physician and a nurse we're ex-
amined by committee of one Judge
and two attorneys yesterday to deter
mine the cause of the absences, which
necessitated postponements in the
Payne trial.

Women Have Vital Interest.
I am in the unusual position of
being the first woman to receive the
nomination for the governorship in
North Dakota. believe the women
of North Dakota have just as vital
an interest in the success of the Re-
publican party this Fall as the men.
If elected. I will not break faith
with the common people, but will
earnestly endeavor to support the
measures for which Gov. LANCER had
sought during the past 10 months.

which human rights have taken
precedence over property rights.
Through his moratorium, in which I
have the utmost faith, thousands of
people have been kept from going to
the insane asylum on account OF finan-
cial worries. This humane measure,
which he was the first Governor to
declare, has since been followed in
Is other States and in Mexico and
Norway-and more recently by the
President of the United States.
Credit Is Restored.
One Of the outstanding achievements
of Gov. Langer's administration has
been the restoration of the financial
credit of North Dakota. His refusal
to sign more bonds to increase the
bonded indebtedness Of the State and
his determination to reduce taxes
have been instrumental in raising the
value of State bonds from a low
point of 81 to their present level, which
is over par If elected. shall strictly

their behavior was perfect If they
strolled on the righth side of the
road, they would cock wary eye

Fifteen years ago hens always
crossed the track right in the path

They rushed to their deaths like

Our favorite domestic fowl I'M
doubtedly has acquired wisdom in
the last decade. Perhaps the poor
creature pondered upon death.
Perhaps some sage grandam de-
cided there were but two digni-
fed forms of exit for her kind
natural death and regular frying
pan aSsaSsinations. Thus she may
have influenced her descendants.
Anyway, there's no getting
around the fact that the chicken
has adapted itself to the machine
age.
1 hope we can do as well in fif-
teen generations. Perhaps by
1904 we shall have cultivated as
much caution as the 1884 hen.

1 liked best was his roaring contest
with Leo the lion. Joe opens his
big mouth and roars. The lion does
the same. Finally, Joe let out one
roar that raises the whole circus
and the lion gives up, falling over
on his side.
In another funny scene Joe wants
to do something big" so his boss
puts him to work washing the ele-
plants. And still funnier is the
scene when Brown became a target

are In league with The future.
For 10 is almost impossible to be
a feminist and a conservative at the
same time The woman who has

sex soon finds herself trying TO get
abstract justice for a great many
other dOWntrodden groups.
The true feminist is almost in
vauably a defender Of free speech.
an opponent of lynchings and Of
child labor and of censorship.
And this is a trend which the willy
politician would be wise to recognize.
For it seems to presage a swing to
the left in many vital matters on
the part of half of the voting
population of the country.
There are. of course. many women
who are Indifferent TO the struggle
for sQual rights and have, there
fore. never been forced to consider
the other issues which seem mex
tricably bound up with it.
There are women for whom the
nineteenth amendment simply does
not exiSt-women who lead the same
lives as their great-grandmOtherS.
and ask nothing better. But their
number is decreasing all the time.
Awakened by Inequality
For a girl may have no political
interests whatsoever, and vet discover
that she Is a victim of discrimina-
ton when she comes to get a job
selling ribbons for 81 a week less
than the man across the aisle gets
Tor selling neckties.
When it once has been brought
sharply home to her that she Is suf-
fering from inequality. she is a great
deal more apt to pitch IN and join
the fight for equal rights. And the
next thing you know, she may be
making stump speeches to try to
bring about the freeing of Mooney.
A man may be a radical or con-
sentative by temperament. A woman
who earns her own living, no mat
ter how meek her nature, is almost
bound to have some refOrmer'S blood
IN her. The status quo is no friend
Of hers, and she knows it. Even the
Golden Age of %. which so many
men remember wistfully, was a pc
Rod in which she remained a men,

Become Experimental
It has been one of the fondeSt be-
liefs of the politicians in the past
that the "woman'S vote was in
rurably cOnservative-that We would
support whatever met with the APP
prevail Of the better sort of deacons
and would reject anything which
SmaCked of the revolutionary. Well.
something has happened to women
when the politicians were not look
ing-and they had better wake up

The women of this country are
becoming the adventurerS-the per-
sons who are receptive to new ideas
IN preference to old OneS-the girls
who will try anything once, whether
q is the latest mode of travel or a
