THE SALARY OF THE VICE PREsI.
IDENT.

Some of the Republican papers are al
ready beginning TO say that the salary Of
the Vice President is too small. They
make the point that Gov. Roosevelt will
not be a BILE to live upon 1t. 1t is 5000 a
year As Governor of New York. Mr..
Roosevelt gets 10000 year. He has a
small private fortune which yields him
less than 5000 a year. That, together
with what the vice presidency would yield
him, ought 10 enable him to live in COM
fort in Washington. In the estimation
of the great majority of the people of the
country, $1,000 or $4,000 year is big
income.
But Gov. Roosevelt has not yet been
elected. and it is by no means certain that
he will be. Gen. Stevenson stands just
as good a chance of being elected as he
does. Gen. Stevensons friends are not
complaining about the salary of the office.
II is doubtful if he has as large a private
income as Gov. Roosevelt has. He has
not, however six children TO provide for
as Gov. Roosevelt has, and, beside, it is
probable that II he should be elected he
would not want to live quite so expensive
ly as Gov. Roosevelt would. When he was
Vice President he was able to make a
very good appearance on the salary he re-
ceived.
Here in Georgia, where the Governor
gets only 5000 year, Supreme Court
judges the same amount and Superior
court judges only 5000. the salary paid

AS matter of fact there are getting
to be so many millionares in the coun-
try. who think nothing Of spending $4,000.
or even 100000 year that officials are
getting discontinued with the salaries they
receive. Mr.. Justice Barrett, of the Su-
preme Court of New York, in an inter
view in London the other day, complained
that the judges of that court were justified
in specializing once in a while because
they were not able to put by anything for
old age from their salaries. They receive
ST. coo year. He thought the New York
judges ought to have pensions like the
English judges. II the judges here in
Georgia were elected for fourteen years,
as they are in New York, and were paid
$4,000 year. they would think they had
struck a gold mine.
There is no doubt that in many parts OF
the country the judges ore not paid as lib
orally as they should be. but the New York
judges have no reason to complain. 1t is
probably true that the salary of the Vice
President is too small. If he were better
paid he would be able to make the Office of
more real importance than it is consider
ed to be. The late Vice President Hobart
was quite prominent in Washington, but
it was mainly on account of the entertain
ments he gave. His large private fortune
enabled him to play a prominent part in
the social world, and being able to enter
tain lavishly. he had more political inn
portance than he would have had other

CHICAGo,s BIG CLAIM.

Chicago is getting ready to deny the cor
RICHNESS of the figures of the census man.
She has been having a new directory
made, and this directory seems to indicate
that she has a population of more than
100000. On the strength of the figures
of the directory man the Chicago papers
are saying that that city has a greater
population that the state OF Georgia, or
Minnesota, or Virginia or New Jersey or
some other states The wonder is where
these Chicago papers get their figures
about the population of Georgia and the
other states they name. They don't know
anything about the population of Georgia.
And it is safe to say that the Chicago d.
rectory man is not within half a million
of the correct number of people within
the corporate limits of Chicago.
a directory man wants to please the
people who buy his directory. The bet
ter he can please them the greater his
sales. 1t is notorious fact that the Chi
cagoans have for these many years been
claiming about twice as many people as
their city contained. They are never sat
isfed with the census figures, and they
will not be satisfied with them this year.
AS already stated they are getting ready
to show they are away out of the way.
They will stand by the directory, which
proves TO their satisfaction that their city
has a population of 100000
1t has not been so very long since some
of the Chicago papers were afraid that
the census enumeration would indicate
that the city had not had a very great
growth during the last ten years. They
explained that the labor strike had caused
many thousands 10 find homes elsewhere.
Now 1t seems that, notwiths landing the
loss of so many. the directory man has
discovered that the city is so full of people
that they are literally being crowded over
the city limits. Chicago can take the fig
ures Of her directory man II she wants to,
but il is probable that the rest of the
world will accept those Of the census
enumerator.

THE INCOME TAX FLANK.

Congressman Sulzer is given as author
ity for the statement that the income tax
plank was left out of the Democratic
platform by design. 1t is well known that
Mr.. Bryan was very anxious that there
should be a declaration in favor of such
a tax. 1t is understood that the draft of
the platform which was submitted to him
contained such a declaration.
In his public speeches during the last
four years he has insisted that there
should be an income tax. 1t is known
that he sent word to Senator Jones, chair
man of the Democratic National Commit
tee, to have an income tax resolution
passed by the convention when he found
that the income plank had been omitted
from the platform, and it was said at the
time that Senator Jones promised that
such a resolution should be passed. 1t
was thought that the reason he did not
keep his promise was that in the press of
other business he overlooked the matter.
II what Congressman Sulzer says, how
ever, is correct there were powerful in
fiuences in the convention against an in
come tax declaration that could not be
overcome. II is a question whether the
Democratic party is in favor of an income
tax. There is no doubt that the Popul SITS
are in favor of it. There are a great
many wealthy Democrats who are against
such a tax. 1t was doubtless their in
fuence that caused declaration in favor
of an income tax to be left out of the
Dlatform

bune.
Back among the trees and trellises along
the leaf-strewn lane,
Sitting on the bank of the mill stream
and dreaming dreams again,
Drinking water. sweet as nectar, from the
bucket az the well,
In the orchards leaf and silence. watch
ing windfalls as they FELL
Trying, here at five and thirty, juse TO be
the boy of ten.
To recall the joys of boyhood and forget
the cares of men,
But ] listen to a lesson in the twitter of
the wren
When the boys heart turns 20 mans it
never throbs the same aghin.
Once the sun marks noon of lifetime.
once the morning steals away,
Once the shadows growing shorter and
then fall the other way,
once the playtime ends at manhood, once
the frollicIng is done,
When the face is turned from dawning
to the setting of the sun,
You may sit among the flowers that you
plucked and threw away,
Turn the leaves of Time all backward,
try 90 read them as you may,
You may kindle fires of Memory, you
But there's something changed within you
that can never be the same.
You may lay aside the burden OF your
troubles, as you will,
But your bent and sunken shoulders tell
the story 20 you still.
The story of the struggles and the trials
that are sealed
From the simple hearts of children, and
to men only revealed.
The sorrow dulls, the sigh is stilled, the
sore hearts soothed are,
The smariing wound is healed again, but
always leaves a scar.
The fire of youth burns only once, and
dies in it's dead flame
The simple heart of boyhood that can
never be the same.
So 1 six among the trellises and trees and
wonder why,
Pure the air as in my boyhood aud as
blue the unlocked sky,
Fun the leaves as ever blowing. sweet
the bird songs and as free,
But the boys heart chat thrilled TO them
is untuned and dead in me-
There's longing. longing, longing.

For the heart that throbbed in boyhood.
cloudless as the azure sky,
For the heart that was the sunlight and

Can ever paint or picture-that 1 cannot

Fish Jones Did Not Cash.

There is a small boy that 1 know who

declared Jones, according to the Detroit

OF a fisherman are not solely confined to
a big catch.
Il went fishing the other day for trout
in small country stream which I have
always held sacred even from my closest

on my way home when 1 met this small
boy with a long string of fine trout His
outfit would have caused horse to laugh;
but he had the fish and l had none, so l
did not feel like laughing myself With

prices, and went on my way rejoicing
Two days later I visited the same stream
and had the same luck, not even hook

another string of trout, and we struck an
other bargain.
See here said I, some what exasper-
ated at his luck, I'm give you 80 cents

such string of trout every day.

ENOUGH HOSPITALS TO SUPPORT.

The Mayor seems to question the advis-
ability of making the government an offer
for its hospital buildings in the southern
part of the city. There are good reasons
for questioning it. At present the city has
all the hospital accommoda tons it needs,
and certainly all it can afford to pay for.
If the city is not actually in need of addi-
tional hospital accommodations it would
be waste of money to purchase the gov
eminent buildings, however low the price
might be for which they could be obtain
ed.
But the cost Of the buildings would not
be the only outlay to which the purchase
of them would subject the city. Land
would have to be purchased or rented as
hospital site and the buildings would
have to be moved. Then there would be
the cost of maintaining the hospital The
purchase would involve a cash outlay of
a good many thousands of dollars and
large annual expenditure
1t might be said that the money that is
now given to hospitals would be applied
to the support of the ctiys hospital 1t
besides, somebody would have to support
the hospitals that are now receiving city
aid. or they would have TO be closed. The
people that would have TO support them
are the ones that would be taxed to sup
port the city's hospital
And what would the city have If 1t should
purchase the government hospital build
ings? 1t would have nothing that would
be permanent The buildings are mere
shells. They would have TO be painted
every year TO make them look tidy, and
that would cost enough TO run an ordinary
hospital. The government hospital was
never intended for anything more than a
temporary institution and the city could
not make anything more than that out of
it. If the city is to spend money for
hospital il should do so in accordance
with plans based upon what is required
for a permanent hospital. To buy the
governments buildings would be to simply
throw money away.
