HE ADMITS BUT
DENIES 6DILT
Accused Judge of Commerce Court
Practically Admits All Charges
Made Against Him
Washington, July 29-Admilting
practically all the acts charged
against him in the impeachment
proceedings, but denying emphat
ically that he used corruptly ln's
judicial influence, Judge Archi
bald filed his formal answer to the
complaint in the proceedings of
Impeachment in the Senate.
The; defendant judgo admits
that he was involved in numerous
coal deals and admits that he so
licited high railway officials to
further such deals but he avers
that in all his acts he is entirely
innocent of wrong doing and did
not at any lime use his judicial
:induencc to further his private
business undertakings.
Under his, answer many able
lawyers feel that Judge Archibald
will necessarily have to be con
victed, as his answer is tanta
mount to a confession of guilt.
Taking the view of the accused
judge, it will be but necessary for
the Senate to produce tho testi
mony introduced before the House
committee to connect the admitted
acts with the judge's guilty in
tent.
WESTERN FEDERATION
DI8CARDS RED FLAG
The Western Federation of
Miners, assembled in convention,
have unanimously voted to reject
the red flag as a decoration, owing
to itri association with anarchy as
opposed to tin' American flag and
constitutional form of govern
ment.
The question was debated at
length. It is believed that other
conservative trade organizations
will follow the example, as it is
known that the rank and file of
the better organized unions are
actively antagonistic to the propa
ganda advocated by the red flag
followers. The officials of the
Western Federation, contended
that, owing to the misconception
of the general public as io their
patriotism for the American flag,
it was time that the lines be
strictly drawn.
An increase in the wages of
coal miners approximating 10
cents a ton has spurred the op
erators to jump the price up 25
cents, which means about $6,
000,000 added yearly to our bur
den. Since 1900 the two previous
increases in prices have added
about $40,000,000 a year revenue
to the barons.
If, as some Republicans con
tend, Roosevelt's party will attract
more Democrats than Republi
cans, what is the philosophy in
damning the Bull Moose so con
stantly?

Blend Flour Best
<3 A straight hard wheat flour is peculiarly suited to
certain uses; but the housewife finds it hard to work.
€J A straight soft wheat flour also has its good qualities.
«5 But the professional baker, the man who makes his living
working every day with flour, has learned that a judicious
mixture of hard and soft wheats, gives best results.
<3 Aiming to produce a perfect all-purpose flour, the Fisher Flow
ing Mills have had the foregoing facts in mind.
•J Fisher's Blend Flour is not a haphazard combination of hard and
soft wheat. It is the result of careful experimentation covering a long
period, to ascertain the proper proportions of each to get the fullest
advantage of their particular qualities in the blend.
The two kinds of grain are ground separately, individual milling ma
chinery being required for each. Then they are combined scientifically. In
this way, the full strength is saved.
•J For household purposes, blend flour will supersede all other varie
ties. when its advantages arc generally known.
<J Fisher's Blend Flour is a pleasure to knead and a joy to bake.
I €J| Costs More per Sack—because it's worth more.
•J Costs Less per Loaf—because it gives results.
