WHY FIVE JUDGES?

Notice was given yesterday of
" an act to provide for five judges
of the Supreme Court" Why five
judges? Are not three sufficient?
The three supreme judges seem to
get through with the work of the
courts over which they preside, and
apparently without difficulty. Then
why add two more to the number?
Perhaps the three are too hard
worked, and in order to accomplish
what they do overwork themselves?
They have not the appearance Of
overworked men, and certainly seem
to have abundance of leisure to
themselves. No doubt, the duties
OF a session are arduous and the
necessarily close application trying ).
but the sessions are not long-con-
tinued, and the intervals between
allow sufficient time for rest and
recuperation. Indeed, daily news
paper editor would be delighted with
such easy times, at a much smaller
salary. An increase in the number
OF judges means an increase in the
Appropriation Bill. How does this
comport with the retrenchment
policy? OF course, if the require
ments of the country have so grown
that five judges are an actual neces-
sity, it would be economizing in the
wrong quarter to keep the number
down to lower figure. But we do
not believe that five judges are any
more needed for our Supreme Court
at the present time than five wheels
are needed for Dodd's. watering
cart. To be sure, the greater the
number the lighter the work. But
a public servant who draws big
salary should not expect light work.
II he is physically or mentally inca
pable OF hard work, he is unfit for
the public service and should make
way for some one who is. There is
apparently strong tendency in this
little kingdom to create positions
for the sake of furnishing the needy,
not with employment, but with the

Of modern life is the advertising

those days have gone, Goods are
