SHOULD PUBLIC OFFICERS BE RE
WARDED FOR DOING THEIR
DUTY?

1t ought to be true that public officers,
who perform their sworn duty, should
not be singled out for special honor. But
they are. Why? The answer is that so
many merely do perfunctorily the unpleas-
ant things required, that when one does
his whole duty with courage and success
the people are so surprised and gratified
that they feel like rising up and confer
ring some distinction upon him. 1t is
well to do so, for if public officials find
more popular favor in furnishing boodlers
and enforcing the trusts than in stand
ing in with or failing to see their viola
tions of the law, it would become more
common for public officials to perform
their duty faithfully. One trouble is that
people often sit quietly by while the
upt interests sacrifice a public man
has bravely done his duty That
tacle naturally makes officials slow
eopardize their public careers when
can easily avoid it.

Does the Colorado sheriff who risked his

gestion for another gift from the multi
millionaire. Why not a fund for the re-
ward or medaling of public officials who
carry the performance of duty to the
point of endangering their lives? The
number of lynchings which actually takes
place alone demonstrates the need of ex-
ordinary encouragements to secure the
orcement of the law. The state itself

THE EXACT ANTlTHESIS.

The best description of Judge ParkeI
yet put in type was made by by Hon
Edward NJ. Shepard, great Brooklyn
lawyer, big enough himself to be Presi
dent or Chief Justice. 1t was at the an
nual dinner OF the Reform Club in Brook
Ign, and in telling OF Judge Parkcr's char
acter and what he represents, Mr.. Shep
ard said:
He represents the very opposite o
restless, impatient, reckless contempt tol
constitutional, law-abiding government
and for those respectful and righteous
relations with the rest OF. the Worlt
which belong to our best traditions. That
is to say he represents the very opposite
of. the conduct and policy of the gallant
Republican now dwelling in the White
House"
And that is the sort of man the people
OF America wish in the White House.

presidency, because you are going to %
President some day, said Judge Parker
to the Governor.
"Oh, do not know about that" replied
Col. Roosevelt, with grin, but I'll tell
you what I'd like to be above al other
things in this world"
What is that, a lieutenant general al
the head OF a fighting army?''
No, if l could have my fondcst v ii
gratifed, I'd be Governor Of the Philip
pines. Just think, Judge, of the joy u
that. Absolutely your own master nc
politicians to placate, no Congress tc
consult, nothing but to have your OWE
sweet way about everything
Judge Parker told this story a iorg
time ago, before he had any idea Of be
ing MI. Roosevelts rival for Presidential
honors. He doesn't narrate it now, be
cause it would sound too much like tell
ing tales out of school, considering al
the present circumstances. Probably tht
Judge has forgotten it, but his friends
have not.
