EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The Rev. N. J. Savage says
there never was a garden OF
Eden. How does he dispose of
the indirect testimony of the fact
that the sons of Adam all behave
exactly like Pa?-Seattle Post
Intelligencer.
Citizens of Pineapple, in the
state of Alabama, lynched ne
gro prisoner in manner COM
mendably free from ostentation.
They simply knocked him on the
head, poured kerosene over him,
and burned the body without any
spectacular stake effects. Hav-
ing done this act of justice, the
citizens thought it would be a
good idea to cover the marks of
their execution by burning the
Jail, which they did with such
effect that few stores were in
cluded in the confagration.
While negroes are plentiful in
Alabama, stores are scarce, and
the citizens are likely to get into
trouble. Other towns should alb.
sorb these lessons, and "thank
heaven they are not Pineapples." "
Grants Pass Observer.
It is to be hoped that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will consider the
Pacific Coast in the appointment
soon te be made of one of the
members of the Panama Canal
Commission. No part of the
country is more vitality interest
ed in the trans-isthmian water
way than this coast. California
has three candidates who are pull
ing their wires for this position.
1t is time that Oregon newspa-
pers expressed their wishes on
this subject, and let the people
know that they have a choice in
this matter. The Pacific Coast
needs a good, strong, brainy
representative, one thoroughly
familiar with our state and its
needs, and we know of no man
better qualified, or who would be
more satisfactory to the mass of
the people than Harvey w. Scott,
editor of the Portland Oregonian.
Our colleges and educational
institutions are turning out more
professional men than we have
any use for. The boys and girls
who shirk the schools in their
youth are growing into the COM
mou laborers or tramps of the
Future, and of this class we have
more than enough. What the
country needs is more of the
practical men who know how to
do things-more good farmers,
more manufacturers, and more
skilled labor. Not so much the
mechanic who is to be taught to
handle tools and machinery, but
the mechanic who knows why
certain results always follow cer-
tain causes. May the day be
hastened when the technical will
crowd out and take the place of
the classical, and the sectarian
colleges of the last hundred years
be changed to agricultural and
technical colleges that are doing
SO much to shape and control the
better, prouder civilization of the
future. Speed the day.

The fear that they would-in bad sense-'ex-

urged by the President is a lowering of our
tariff duties on Philippine goods. The extern

AN orERGR0WY FEE SYSTEM.

Nobody can blame United States District At
torney Burnett for collecting from the govern
ment the fees which the law allows him. 1t IS
no dscredit to him to have known what these
fees were beforehand. and to have taken the
office with a distinct understanding Of the enor-
nous profit to be made therein. Indeed, lawyer
with q reasonably remunerative practice might
easily be unwilling to take the office on the
stated salary without some extras 1t does not
confer the distinction or promise the long tenure
which in judicial position offers compensation
for small salary to n lawyer who might easily
earn twice as much as he would receive while
on the bench. Nevertheless. when the fee system
results in the payment to the District Attorney,
in addition to his salary. of the sum of S213.3OO
between March 81, 1898 and June 30, 1904, 1t
is clearly oyergrown.
The old scale of fees was calculated on
much smaller volume of business than has gone
through General Burnetts office. 1t was the
same with our Sheriff's and County Clerks
fees The same fees in small counties brought
in only a fair compensation. But here they
meant enormous fortune, the city grew
and its transactions multiplied. The reform
which abolished the fee system in these places
should spread to the federal District Attorneys
office. 1t is rather curious that when the system
was abolished elsewhere by law two exceptions
made and one Of them the richest fee office
Of all. Now that attention has been called 10
these exceptions by the Attorney General,
change will probably be made.
The salary of the District Attorney here should
be made adequate to his responsibilities He
should also have a liberal allowance for well
paid, competent assistants. General Burnett
points out that a considerable part Of his fees
went to poorly paid assistants who helped in the
cases. They should not be forgotten in any re-
organization of the office on an exclusive salary
basis The government should make fair pro-
vision for its legal work in this city but stop the
payment of fees which under favorable circum-
stances may aggregate enormous sums 10 the
fortunate Official
