FALL TERM OF COURT
EVERY ONE AT CITY HALL BUSY
IN PREPARATION.
Appeal in the Croft
Case May Be Argued Next Week
The Watson Matter,

Everybody connected with the Court of
Appeals, the Supreme Court of the District
OF Columbia and the office of the United
States attorney for the District is working
overtime these days preparatory to the
opening Of the fall term of the local tribu-
nails Of justice. While the dockets of all
the courts are well filled, if not crowded,
the congestion applies with particular
force to the criminal branches. Criminal
business will be delayed BY reason of the
fact that both of the rooms at the city hall
assigned for criminal court purposes can
not be used for several weeks to come, for
the reason that they are filled with scat
folding erected in connection with the re-
pairs being made to the building.
The matter of greatest general interest,
the appeal in the Machen-LorenZ-Grof post
office frauds case, is No. On the special
calendar of the Court of Appeals, and may
be reached for argument by Friday of next
week. Mr.. Holmes Conrad, special counsel
this afternoon and conferred with United
States Attorney Beach in reference to the
hearing.
Although, it is understood, the admins
tration officials are exceedingly anxious
that the remaining post office cases in
which indictments have been reported by
the grand jury shall be tried early as
possible, the indications are that none of

opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Ma
chen-LorenZ-Groff case is handed down,
for the reason that the law in that issue,
to be settled by the appellate court, will
govern to a large extent in the untried post
Office cases.
Delay in the Watson Case.
Another reason for not proceeding at once
with the trial of post office cases is that
the Jail is crowded with prisoners awaiting
trial for minor offenses, and proceedings
can only be conducted in one Criminal Court
pending the completion of the repairs in
progress at the court house. AS an in
stance of the situation, attention is directed
to the fact that James NJ A. Watson, ac-
cused of embezzling about s73, 900 from funds
In the hands of the auditor of the District
of Columbia, has been in JAIL awaiting
disposition of the charge against him, since
June 8, 1893
The sessions of Criminal Court No 1, be-
ginning next Tuesday morning, will be held
In the room of Circuit Court No. until
the room of Criminal Court No. is made
ready for occupancy. Assignment has been
made of cases of minor importance for
trial in Criminal Court No. Tuesday We'd

appearances 1t seems that Circuit Court No

COUNTY SUPERVISORS AND THEIR PAY.

Some Iowa newspapers are calling at
tention to the small sums paid to coun-
ty supervisors in this state and recon-
mending q substantial increase in the
pay of these officials. 1t is pointed out
that they are allowed but 81 per diem
while in session and $3.50 a day for
committee work and the recommends
ton Is being made that the legisla-
ture do something for this class of
suffering public servants.
Public service should be well paid, and
it is a question whether or not the aver
age county supervisor Is notreceiving all
he IS worth when he is paid at the rate
of more than $1,000 yearly for what
work he does In session. The num-
Der of county supervisors who, If
thrown upon the market, could COM
mand $1,000 annual salaries Is another
question. The alleged low payment
appears to have little deterrent effect
upon candidates. at any rate. The sup
ply of men willing to serve the people
in this particular official position is
not appreciably decreasing.
The best public service is not to be
bought and paid for and the tendency
to write the dollar mark in the place
of public duty is one to be deplored.
The best and most public spirited
county supervisors in Iowa are not
clamoring for an increase OF pay. but
are doing honest work under sense
Of responsibility. The best legislators
in the state are not holding their offices
for the cash and one Of the best gov
errors Iowa ever had Is holding his
office as did his predecessors at an
actual annual loss of thousands. 1t Is
evident that cash is not the only or the
most attractive payment for public
service, and 1t is also evident that the
best paid offices are not always filled
by the best men. The high salaried
public offices are not those that lend
the greatest distinction or offer the
highest opportunity. So long as hon
est, capable and efficient men are not
only willing, but anxious to hold coun-
ty supervisorships, 1t would appear
that this agitation for higher pay IS
ill-advised, and redundant. No bet
ter service would be rendered If super
visors were paid $40 day, than is be-
ing rendered now and the office would
not attract better men. There Is no
occasion to consider a change until the
| demand comes from the supervisors
themselves and from the people instead
of from county politicians. If there are
in Iowa county supervisors utterly dis
satisfied with their pay, they should
resign. There are good men behind
every one of them ready to step into
| their places.
