ASSESSMENT OF JUDGES

1t is much TO be regretted that the bill pre-
pared by the Commission on the Laws DELAYS
10 limit the political contributions Of Judges
did not pass the legislature. Some other bills
proposed by the commission went through, and
the failure Of this would seem to indicate
distinct unreadincss among the lawmakers to
free the judiciary from politics, and point to
the necessity Of urgent education along this
line
1t is an admitted fact that judges in this
State have been subjected TO heavy political
assessments. Some of them have before com
mittees testified to this, and urged that il was
an evil which should be corrected. Judicial
salaries are SO large in comparison to other
official incomes that politicians are eager to
share in what they regard plum" and no
doubt $1,000. and even $4,000 has sometimes
been exacted as a voluntary contribution" from
judicial candidates, to pay their campaign ex-
penses, even when their election was unop-
posed. Gloss such a contribution over as we
viii, it is. nothing but a payment to the party
for the office, or at least a payment of what
is regarded as the party's percentage of the
profits Of the Office. The judicial salary is fixed
merely at the figure considered necessary to
secure men Of the proper professional standing
If it is only a just compensation for the work
done, it is an outrageous hardship upon judge
TO have 10 give up from quarter to two-thirds
OF year, income. II the salary Is 100 large
then ii should be reduced; for Il is scandalous
that the money devoted by the people TO the ad-
ministration Of Justice should be made the
perquisite OF any political party.
These assessments inevitably tend TO keep the
Judges in close relations TO politicians whereas
on ascending the bench they should be freed
from all such obligations. All that 4 judge
should be allowed TO contribute TO n campaign
fund is a modest sum reasonably calculated to
meet the expense his party IS under for his
particular candidacy, and he should be for
hidden 10 contribute at all in years when he
is not running The idea Of the Judge having
a percentage Of bis salary for years practically
mortgaged to those who first give him a nomi-
nation is most unpleasant. We hope the agita-
ton 70 break this connection between politi-
clans and Judges will be kept mp and another
year carried TO success.

PURIFYING CITY WATER.

One of the many scientific officials of the
Department Of Agriculture in Washington is
credited with suggesting a new way TO COM
bat typhoid fever. While seeking effective
means Of averting disease which besets
watercresses, he hit upon a compound which
is described as n preparation OF copper"
though not identical with that we'll known
fungicide. the Bordeaux mixture. 1t is now
asserted that IL will extermnate the particular
pest which bothers the growers of crosses. and
at the same time will kill the germs of typhoid
fever. As it exercises a pernicious influence
upon the growth of algae, low order of aquatic
vegetation, the stuff will also tend 10 rob mos
Quitoes OF a favorite article OF diet, and incl
dentally put a check on malaria.
Sanitary engineers and psychologists may
with propriety consider both the accuracy Of
these statements and the possible value Of the
compound for purifying city water supplies.
The story is by no means Incredible 1t IS highly
probable that if enough of the compound were
mingled with the contents Of a big reservoir
no typhoid or cholera germ would survive ex-
pOSure thereto for more than n few minutes.
Still, II a new danger results from the introduc.
ton of chemicals, most people would beg to be
excused from drinking liquid that has been
thus treated. Some popular prejudices against
city water have comparatively little excuse. 4
slight discOlOratiOn an unpleasant odor IS
often observed when microbes and other really
deleterious elements are absent. An objection
TO n beverage TO which distinctly unwholesome
not TO say poisonous-agents had been inten-
tionally added would, on the other hand, be al
together rational. DR.. Moore, the author of the
new method of killing typhoid bacill anticI-
pates such a criticism with positive assurances
that his preparation is harmless to human
health These do not convince The Medical
Record" however That periodical, in its latest
issue, pronounces the scheme absurd. 1t re-
fuses to regard precipitation OF decaying mat
ter as true publication, and insists that boiling
is the only sure way 10 free water from typhoid

SPELLING ASTATIC NAMES.

A well meant suggestion concerning the spell
ing OF Asiatic names-especially Japanese. Chi
nese. Corean and Hussian-is made by Mr.. Can
nett OF the United States Geographical Survey.
In discussing the matter some weeks ago, we
commented upon the confusing variety Of spell
ings. and pointed out that its cause lay largely
81 the fact that the original names were ex-
pressed IN characters quite different from our
alphabet. and that each European and Ameri-
can nation tTansliteTated them according TO its
own system OF phonetics Now, Mr.. Gannett
reminds as that at last most OF the European
countries. Canada and the United States have
agreed upon a uniform scheme of translitera-
ton, which has been published by the United
States Board OF Geographic Names and he sug-
gests that il would simplify matters if every
body would adopt that scheme.
Beyond doubt that would lessen the variety of
spellings. That ii would establish the hest svs.
TEN OF spelling the names in question is not so
certain. The rules adopted BY the geographic
board provide that the vowels and most ir not
ali. OF the cOnsonants shall have the sounds tl,ot
nre common 20 them in the Latin countvies of
Southern Europe. Concerning this. many win
ask. Why? Men who are not at all arroe1an4 ,r
their championship OF the English language hold
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1904-04-18

that IL is at least the peer of any other, ana IN
sist that Chinese and japanese words should
be transliterated for English speaking use ac-
cording 10 English phonetics. There is, they
argue no more reason for English speaking peo-
PIE to adopt a French or Italian system than
there is for the French and Italians to adopt an
English system. Moreover they pertinently
point out that while it may simplify the spell
ing of Asiatic names. this rule increases con-
fusion in the English vocabulary by introducing
into it q category of words which are TO be pro-
Eounced according TO French or Italian rules
When a Chinese word enters English speech,
they insist ii should be Anglicized, not CALI
cized.
But the adoption of this rule, even with Its
abdication of English linguistic rights, viii by
no means effect uniformity of spelling. Our
German cousins, who are among the foremost
in geography and commerce. have not adopted
the Southern European system, and we do not
believe they will There lies before us at this
moment a superb German map Of East Asia.
Let US see how its spelling compares with that
which our geographical! board prescribes. Man
churia, says the board; Manufactured, says the
map. The board prefers Chefu to Chefoo, but
our German photographer gives us Tschl-fu
Shanghai is a form long used and not to be
abandoned 10y us, but the Germans write 1t
Schanghai SO wherever we use sh they use
-Niu-Tschwang for New-Chwang.
Examples need not be multiplied. Here is
ample evidence that Germany, the second larS-
est nation of the civilized world, and one Of the
two or three foremost in geographical science
and in commerce, insists upon GermaniZing
these Asiatic names in transliterating them.
Our French friends. of course. Gallcize them.
Why should not England and America AngliciZe
them? Such a course would not make for inter
national unanimity. But that is, in any case,
practically unattainahle. 1t would make for
harmony and consistency in our own language,
and that is very important thing. If after
spelling Corea with G for all these years we
are TO begin spelling It with X because some
European nations do, are we also to spell Africa
with a k for the same reason? If not why
notE Our own belief is that it is best for us to
stick 20 the well established forms based upon
AngloSaxon phonetics. and thus to show the
same regard for our own language that any OF
our foreign friends show for theirs.
