CRIMINAL JUDGES.

From the Warrensbure Journal-Democrst. !
The Legislature could d. no worthier act
than TO increase the salaries of the criminal
judges OF the county circuits. AT present
hey are paid but 81 800 per year, and allow
cd The privilege 10 prScIice in the civil courts.
This priv liz ge j. worthless pecuniarly. With
he large number of crmInai trials, thrii
length and weightv consideration. cImnal
lidIe has no time 10 Ice at home in his otti' !;
besides. if he i AN upright man, which every
Judge should be, when he l. not on the bench
tie devOteS himself to reading and keeping up
with the decisions OF the higher courts. His
reasonable expenses in making the circuit
cannot be less than $500 n year. The best
talent cannot be had fOI such sum. A good
judge should be profoundly learned IN law
and he must know how 10 use it. He must
he deep, continuous, and thorough student.
He must be well intentiOned, patient and fast.
Such men cannot be had at les now paid
criminal judges. They should be paid ss
much the circuit judges, snd thev are paid
| pUorely enough. If the state paid reasonable
| salaries to its judges, we should not need TO
| have so many higher courts.

THE SCHOOL BOOK QUESTION.

From the Pattsburg, Mo-, Register Lever.
The school book syndicate fellows here are
by no means the happIest guests of the city.
They now see that the tie >t-book laws must
go. For several weeks special committee
constituted for the purpose of Investigating
the school book problem, has been hard al
work looking into the matter. Mr.. Carter OF
Lafayette county,a i teacher of large expert
ence, is chairman. 1t Is now understood that
they have developed the matter so rs to be
able to report in few days. Their report is
1t will be important in an intense degree not
only to the house but to the people Of the stare.
The whisperings are that responsible parties
are prepared to contract to supply the public
schools OF the state with books, similar to
those now in use In our schools, at prices
about one half those we have been pay ing.
Such a saving would be of vast Importance
to the people as it would save at low esti-
mate at least half million dollars annually in
the pockets of the people. The COMMITTEE
will probably follow, measurably, the sug-
gestion> made by the Register-Lever some
time ago. in their report; that is, they will
recommend a bill providing for the establish
lishment of a board of commissioners con-
>i>tng of The state superintendent. president
# the State University and the president Of
the Normal schools, all prominent and dis
tlnguished practical educators which shall
have general supervision Of the textbook
question thus to be solved, make contracts,
SC, &c. That the plan Is perfectly feasible
we have the utmost confidence. and that it
will be developed and formulated into a law
before the end of this session, and before the
expiration Of TX mOnl hS the distribution Of
uniform text .bouk> at half the present prices
will be he much desired result, We have rea.
