The Pay of the Judges.

Among the matters of importance
to come up before the Legislature.
the salary of our Superior Court
judges will be prominent. We be-
lieve the travelling and living expenses
of the judges ought to be paid. We
understand only $4,000 a year is ap-
propriated for this purpose, though
it takes at least thousand TO foot
the bill, which cuts the salary down
to 800 a year. First-class lawyers
cannot ba induced to throw down their
practice and leave their families nine
months in the year for so little pay;
and first-class lawyers are the ones
we want for our judges. The salary
now paid our judges is the same that
it. was thirty-five years ago, and
everybody knows how greatly the cost
of living has increased. The Legis-
lature ought to be Just before it is
generous. The laborer is worthy of
his hire, and the people of North
Carolina will approve the just re-
Enumeration Of a public servant for
honest and faithful work. We have
suffered enough already from elevat-
ing small and weak men to this posi-
ton of power and solemn RESPONSE
bility. Almost any other office with

from inefficiency than the judgeship.

without the judicial temperament
and without sense of the dignity and
Importance of his office, is source

SO painfully apparent The average
lawyer is willing TO make some sacri-
flee, but we submit il is unjust TO
call upon men who have wives and
children TO support 10 do high class
work for low class pay. We cannot
afford extravaganza in our payment
of public officials; neither can we af-
ford TO be niggardly. We hope the
Legislature will see lit to at least pay
the judges their present salary and
provide for their board and mileage.

Comments on Living Topics
(Archibald Johnson }

A great deal of noise is being made
about the employment of children
in factories before they are twelve
years of age, which is not only wrong
but unlawful, but while the brethren
are so nobly defending the helpless
children why are they so dumb about
the devilment of the cigarette? Are
they muzzled by the money of the
cigarette magnates?
We have been quite impressed with
DR.. DetWiler's way of dealing with the
dancers in his church. Instead of rail-
ing out at them and driving them
from the church service, he advises
them after they are dressed for the
ball. to go to their closets, get on
their knees and ask God 10 go with
them to the dance; and he promises
them if they do this he Will have no
more to say. This is good deal bet
ter than to whirl them right out Of
the synagogue without an effort to
show them the better way and at
the same time pat red nosed drunk
ard on the back and make him dele
gate TO the Conference.
We incline to the opinion held by
Pastor G. a. G.. Thomas that there
has been much ado about mighty lit
tie in assaults that have been made
on the Jefferson Bible" II seems
that Mr.. Jefferson Culled certain por-
ations OF the Scriptures which suited
him, but with no idea of furnishing
Bible for general use. Congress re-
published he old copy and that is
all. Some people are ready to jump
on Jefferson because they do not like
him. He was not a safe guide on re-
ligious matters, and never tried to
lead in this realm; but in the estab
lishment of great underlying princi-
pies to this nation he showed more
wisdom than any statesman this
country has ever produced; and the
world owes him debt of everlasting
gratitude

The RefOrnatory.


We rejoice at the prospect of Re-
formatory for young criminals, to be
established by the Legislature and
maintained by the earnings from the
penitentiary. We have never taken
to the idea of a reformatory run by
the Kings Daughters. Nobody's
daughter is fitted to manage an insti-
tuition of this sort, and If it had been
attempted it would have gone to
smash. Neither did the proposition
for the establishment OF q reforma-
tory by the different counties look
promising. The way TO do the thing
right is exactly what is now proposed.
and we can not think that our Legis-
lature will be so stupid as to refuse
to begin this work so greatly needed
and so long delayed. We are glad
to see that Gov. Ayeock in his farewell
message strongly urges the establish
ment of this institution, and really
there is no sort of excuse why the
thing shall not be done. OF course
there are a few good people who
see no need for a reformatory at all.
but the overwhelming sentiment of
the people is in favor of it and we
trust it will soon be an established
