NOTE The compensation for services un-
der the pr0hibitOry law. and such further
compensation as was allowable at the discre-
ton OF the board Of comfy commissioners
under the old law are the same under the
new law.
Any one who can read English
will certainly discover from the
above that there has been considera-
bic reduction in the fees of the pro-
bate judge. The writer claimed on
the stump last fall that the reduction
would amount to from rs to 40 per
cent. We believe the above will
bear out that assertion.
1t will be noticed that under the
new law the items include more work
for the same and less pay. Take,
for instance, the second item: Un-
der the old law it reads: "Approving
bond, 50c;;" under the new law il
reads; "Fiiing entering and approx.
ing bond, Csc" Unnder the old
law the probate judge could and did
collect SC for filing and Csc for en-.
tering the bond; this would make
soc worth of work reduced under
the new law to Csc. And so it ap.
pears all the way down-the work
in each item increased and in mos
cases the fee reduced.

TRENTON, Jan. 1i.-Church members,
regardless OF denomination, are forming q
law and order league to put a stop to Sun
day liquor selling and TO close up tho dis
orderly houses. The subject OF the purla-
cation Of the city was discussed at mass
meeting held yesterday In tho rooms Of
the Y. M. 9. A. Secretary Vevter, of that
organization, criticized Chief Of Police
McChesney, accusing him Of inactivity
and lack of knowledge OF existing evils.
He wanted to know if the chief was NOT
aware that even In the state house liquor
WINS sold without license and that the
patrons of the place Were mainly state Of
ncials. 1t is believed that public sentl.
ment will force the police to act very soon.
