An effort is being made to raise
the salary Of the judges of the
United States Supreme Court. An
annual compensation of $40. 900 is
said to be glaringly. inadequate to
keep the wolf from the judicial

salary is increased leading lawyers
will not feel like giving up their
practice to accept an appointment
to the supreme bench. Judges
should not expect to make as much

IRELAND's WRONGS
9till Remembered Though The
Queen L. Dead.

New York, Jan. 2S.-A dispatch
to the Journal and Advertiser from
Dublin says:
John Redmond, leader Of the
United Irish party, speaking at
Wexford, said:
Gan the world assembled in Lon
don, not in triump!S but in sorrow,
around to bier of her who to
English people at least will live in
history as great constitutions
sovereign. But Ireland was absent.
Ireland, of all her empire. stood
apart, sullen and dissatisfied.
"Ask your English rulers why.
1t is not because the Irish race-is
hard of heart and cold of nature;
It is not because of any want of
respect for the personal virtues of
the lady from whose weary hand
the sceptre of power is snatched by
death.
sit is because the reign which is
just closed has been for Ireland and
all the IRISH race more disastrous
than any reign in 800 years. Dur
ing this reign a million and a hall
of our people have persisted by
famine; five millions have emigrated
| to otter lands.
"Under the sway of this monarch
there have been forty coercion acts
depriving Ireland of her constitu
tional rights.
"What has converted Canads
from land of rebellion to a happy
colony would transform Ireland to
morrow from disaffecte | to a con
tented land"

every veteran of the wars of 1864, 1866,
and 1901 who is an invalid and unable
to support himself would receive 100 marks
annually developed into a terrible arraign-
ment of the government. Speakers of all
parties, conservatives, national, liberals,
centrists and even socialists, declared their
willingness to vote for adequate pensions
and censured the government for constantly
| ignoring this debt of honor, unworthy, as
one speaker said, of country which had
embarked on world policy.
| Other speakers declared that the attitude
of the bundesrath in steadily refusing to
provide pensions was inexplicable.
AS the burdens of militarism in

upon force finds it necessary to
choose between the army of the
present and the soldiers of the past.

to those whose fighting days are

GOOD ROADS.
THE

The merchants and all business
men OF Lafayette are very much in
teres,ed in having good roads,
During the closing season unusual
ACTIVITY was noticeable In The streets
Of the town, and we are sure that
the business done by the merchants
has been larger than ever before.
This increase in the local commerce
has been due, in great measure,
to the large quantity Of cotton
hauled here TO be ginned and sold.
Fortunately the roads were in good
condition and farmers living many
miles away were enabled to come
here and secure the advantageous
terms of the local gins and cotton
buyers. Without good roads a
large portion of the cotton which
found its way here would have gone
elsewhere and the town would have
been deprived of its just share of
trade. The Importance of improve d
highways can not be overestimated
and it seems to us that the business
men Of Lafayette should do all in
their power to have good roads fol
the next cotton season. How would
it do to revive the Good Roads
League?

The sensational episode Of the
recent executive session of the SEN
ate. when Senator Hawley called
Senator Chandler liar, naturally
recalls other incidents of the same
character. Fortunately for the
good name of the senate, they have
not been numerous.
The most memorable occasion
when the lie was passed in the sen
ate occurred in the days when
ingalls, and VOORHEES, were among
the most prominent members
of that body. 1t was q balmy after
noon in May, 1888, during lively
debate between the senator's, when
ingalls,, who had been haunting
VOORHEES, in his most biting and
sarcastic manner, asked VOORHEES,
| if it were true that the Indiana Peo-
pie attempted to hang him with
bell rope on a train between New
Castle and Terre Haute. VOORHEES,
rose. red with anger and literally
boiling over with rage.
ssThe senator is a great liar if he
in,,mates such a thing" he shouted.
ssHe is great liar and dirty dog.
1t was some minutes before The
excitement Gained down. Senator
ingalls, did not resent the attack,
but ne never forgot the incident ano

from that day until he went out o

PARTING FEARS.

Because these shining, soul-lit eyes
That welcome might fade away,
Our spirits all the higher prize
The friendly glances of to-day.
Because the lip whose smiles we crave
Might pass beyond mortal reach
We love the more each tender wave
That breaks against that coral beach.
The fear that these dear, precious hands
We clasp at parting might grow cold
Ere we return-that farer lands
Might claim-but tightens friendships
hold.
The thought that this dear cheek we press
With hungry lips might fade away
While we are gone gives loves caress
A sacred tenderness day.
The fear that change might come between
Our lives, or death itself might grasp,
But makes our hearts the closer lean,
And loving al ms the tighter clasp,
Because the kind, sweet voice now heard
Might nevermore in welcome-greet,
We treasure so each parting word,
And find s.good-bye' SO bitter-sweet.
If life knew only joy ard mirth,
If skies were never overcast,
Then love might perish from the earth.
Crushed out by selishness at last.
sTis fear of change that turns the breath
To loving word and warm caress;
1t is the very fear of death
! That gives earth-love its deathlessness.

THE PUBLIC ROADS.

THE PUBLIC ROADS.
As usual. there are many COM
plants about the condition Of the
roads. There seems to be no
doubt, however, that the roads are
better than they were under the old
system.
Two things are necessary to
have good roads: First. money;
second, intelligent supervision.
Without these requisites the public
high ways will never be in thorough
ly good condition.
Under the laws enacted for that
purpose enough money can be
raised to work the roads. As to
the right kind of supervision that
can be had If the parish is willing
to pay for it.
We are not disposed to censure
the members of the Police jury or
the road overseers for the condition
of the roads. A Police Juror IS not
an executive officer. His duties
are rather Of a legislative character,
and it is not his business to work
the roads. He is not paid to at
tend to such matters. No rational
| being will expect the Police Juror
to give up his private affairs and
| devote his entire time in the service
of the parish for a salary of about
three dollars month. If there is
sane man in Lafayette who is
willing to give all his time, or a
considerable portion of it, tP the
parish for this munifcent salary, he
is a patriot whose picture should he
placed in the Hall of Fame next to
that of the Father Of HIS Country.
But what about the road overseers
This much abused and roundly
cursed individual gets exactly ten
dollars month! 1t is out OF the
question to expect reliable and IN
telligent supervision of anything fol
ten dollars a month. 1t stands te
reason that such thing is impossi
BILE.
1t is not surprising that unde
these circumstances the public
roads are not in a better condition
We should be thankful that the,
are not worse.
