1t was not a mans, it was that of

any difference in her smile or guessed

letter to her lips. AS she did so, She
saw that the slight figure in its dark

As the approaching session OF the

and the vast ountr tributary thereto.
The compulsory feature of these laws
has long been a source of annoyance 10

SALARIES AGAINST FEES.

Some of the papers of the state are
discussing the question of increased
salaries of the judges of the state courts
and also of abolishing the fee system
of other officials. The fee system is all
wrong: it should have been abandoned
years ago. The value of the office to
the occupant should be placed upon it
by the law making branch of the gov
and the man who is chosen to
fill that office should know exactly what
he is TO get when he enters upon he
enumeration for performing public ser.
vice should depend upon what he can
make out of the people. Such a system
is wrong in principle 1t is placing a
premium on extortion and paving the
way to fraud. There are officers of the
law who do their duty. Whether they
are paid salaries or receive fees-who
do not look TO the matter of remunera-
ton. but all cur officers are not of this
kind. and ever if they were this temp
tation should not be put in their way,
We do not want men chosen to office
who take the position for what can be
made out OF il. To every office there
should be attached certain and affixed
salary SO that every man VINO is chosen
to perform the duties of that office
knows exactly what those emolument:
are to be and what he can count or
making out of the office. We do no
believe in making it discretionary with
the oficeholder as to what his sayar1
shall be. This gives him too much pow
er TO show favoriteism on the one hand
and, on the other to Cypress and be ex
t~ortionate.
As TO the matter of salaries for supe
rior court judges any one who give
the matter a simple thought will conn
to the conclusion that they are entirel.
too small. The truth is none of GU
state officials is paid enough. All sala
ries should be raised.
