The Office OF district court clerk II
one of the most important appoint
ments in New Mexico. To fill 1t prop
erly, requires u man Of ample ability
and some legal attachments. Any mar
who is qualified for the place, can east
ly make more than the proposed salary
in the practice of his profession. Then,
too, in the fourth judicial district, and
we suppose it is true Of the others, the
business of the office cannot be we'll
carried on without two competent
deputy clerks. Good salaries must be
paid in order to secure competent men
for the places. Besides these facts,
the district is an immense one, and
courts are held from four to six weeks
at q time. The clerk or a deputy must
60 to the distant courts, spend = great
deal Of money in travelling to and from
the county seats, and be at very con-
siderable expense for accommodations
while attending upon court sessions at
q distance.
Thus, il will be seen that while the
perquisites OF the Office may be large.
the necessary expenses connected with
the filing of the office are necessarily
large, also.
OF course, many men, who have
been failures at all else, will be willing
TO take the Office and pretend to dis
charge its duties at any salary. But
the question is, Do the people want
such incompetent oficersa Isit not
better to pay liberal compensation,
SO that the position will be an object
Of desire to. men best qualified and
through whom we will get-the best
discharge of important dutiesP
This much is said by THE OPTIC,
Notwithstanding the clerkship In this
judicial district is already promised.
In the event .. certain anxious applicant
gets the judgeship.

PARAPHRASE OF 1.-THE BUILDERS.
| Everyone is planning out his whole
life all the time. Some people are to
J do great deeds and some are to be
poets. Even if anybody is very CON-
mon and poor but is doing an honest
work it is not useless, but is just as
we'll in it's place as if he were some
noted person and was performing
some great deed.
Time always gives something for
every one to do. Every day we are
building up our lives, and we must
make them as good and useful as we
can.
If we do not do our work as careful
ly as it was meant for us, we leave a
gap in our lives SO that they are in
complete.
Hundreds of years ago anybody
that was going to build anything
always did it with the utmost care.
For they thought that their gods
would see it if they did not do it nice
ly, and then they would be brought to
shame. i.
We ought to do our work as well,
for if we do not it will be found out,
though we know there are not the gods
to fear. And if we wish to become
great, we cannot do SO without stumb-
ling. Now that we have a chance it
it would be just as easy and easier for
us to do all that we have to do care
fully, SO that when we get it done we
will feel better than if we had just
halfway done it.
This is the only way we can get up
in the world, and we look down from |
the highest point we can see our past !
lives with pleasure.
