THE COUNTY ATTORNEYS SALARY.

Two years ago, when the board of
county commissioners raised the salary
Of the county attorney to 81, 900 year
it's action was branded by this paper as
RECKLESS extravaganza and an imposi-
ton on the taxpayers for which no rea-
So, a:;~ excuse can be offered" The
Herald is of the same opinion still. If
1t Was extravaganza then it is no less ex-
travagant now, and excepting that this
bIunder by the old board established
precedent to be followed, there can be
offered 20 more plausible excuse now
than could be offered then. The oon-
ditions have not changed to make the
county attorneys services worth any
more now than they were then.
The excuse has been offered that to
reduce the salary now might he taken as
a reflection on the incoming county at.
torney and, therefore, be unfair to him.
This is equivalent to the proposition
that public officials are governable by
the conduct, wise or otherwise, of their
predecessors. But this is not a ques-
ton of the personal interests OF any one
tnan.
Taxpayers do not begrudge their pub
lie servants liberal compensation for
their services, and tho county attorney
10 not considered at fault for expecting
the Same salary az paid to his pred-ces-
sor nor for accepting the same when
proffered him. But the people who
must carry these burdens, (mauy Of
whom find it difficult enough to exc out
a bare existence) will protest, though the
board cannot reconsider it's action and
the salary must remain unchanged.
Coupled with such protest the follow
ing are pertinent suggestions:
Public interests are paramount to the
private interests and personal feelings of
individual citizens
Public business should be conducted
on the same careful and common sense
business principles as are essential to
the successful management Of ones own
private affairs.
"Public Office is public trust," to be
administered without fear or favor.
For the services required the salary
allowed the county attorney is immense
~ out Of propo1 ton to the value of such
services to the public. This statement
cannot possibly be construed as 10 any
way rejecting on the present incumbent
Of that Office, for he must admit, as We
all we'll know, that for the present needs
of this county the services of the best
lawyer in the United States would not
be worth Thousand dollars a year.

Replying to an editorial IN this paper
the Duluth Herald still maintains that
policemen are as much entitled to pen
sions as soldiers. In our humble opin.
ion it's argument is the veriest balder.
dash, and at the bar of public opinion
deserves to be hooted out of court. ok
cepting IN time of actual warfare" it
says, "men join the army for the very
same reasons that other men seek jobs
as policemen" Not by jugful. "Show
me" where is the comparison bet ween
the man who, severlng home ties, binds
himself to his country's service for a
term OF years at the measly stipend of
thirteen dollars a month and the other
man who seeks the free and easy job of a
policeman at sixty-fve dollars month
with all the bon-mots that are thrown
to him by favored ones upon his beat.
The peace soldier may, like the police
man, be lover of ease, that IS the limit
of their respective right to public recog-
milton in case of disability in the line of
duty. Suppose we conceds the COT
rectness of Herald's reference to peace
soldiers, what of the mon who enter the
army in time Of war? We are pleased
to note the Herald's exception-an ad-
mission that there is class OF soldiers
who are actuated by higher and bet-
ter motives than prompt nen to seek
jobs on the police force, which carries
with it the further admission that as to
the consideration due to them there is
no comparison.
Men seek jobs on the police force for
the betterment of their conditions
(Which is no discredlt to them) but no
such hope Is held out to the man who
joins the army in peace or in war. IF
Duluth wants to pension her policemen
that's her business, but the Herald's
presentation of the policemen's clalms
was not strengthened by it's thoughtless
comparison.

The constitutional amendment for che
abolition of the grand jury system hav-
ing been adopted, discussing the ques-
ton as to what is best for the legisla-
ture to do in the matter the Pioneer
Press says:
The Pioneer Press has already
suggested that in revising the law
concerning the duties of grand
juries-as the legislature is empow-
cred to do under the amendment
to the constitution just adopted-it
might be we'll to retain those bodies
as agencies for investigating the
conduct of public officials, probing
administrative abuses, reporting on
the encroachments OF corporations
on public rights, and for keeping
alive the vigilance which is the price
Of liberty.
To show the utility of grand jury
along these lines that paper refers to
a synopsis printed in the Cook County
Herald of the proceedings OF the last
grand jury in Lake county, which prob
ed deeply into the affairs of that county
and indicted a former county auditor.
We believe with the Pioneer Press that
for the purpose of exposing and thereby
regulating official abuses, though it
may be relieved of the duty of making
indictments, the grand jury is iuyalua.
BILE and there is work loft for it to do.
In referring to the Lake county case,
through an oversight the Press states
that it was former auditor of Cook
county who was indicted. A mistake
appearing in widely read newspaper,
this mil statement places former auditors
of this county IN an unenviable light be-
fore their friends throughout the state
who do not know the truth, and the P.
p. will do an act Of justice by making
proper correction. -

From the limited study We have been
able to give to the election returns on
the constitutional amendments we are
led to believe that the adoption OF same
was not the result of that mature delib.
GRAFTON due to matters of such grave i'm.
portance, but that large percentage of
voters favored the amendments simply
for the sake of q change.

WALLACE TELLS OF
Difference IN TIDES
Chief Engineer of lsthmian Canal Says
Wrong Impressions Exist

NEW YORK, April 5.-Chief En-
gineer John F. Wallace of the Panama
canal commission first learned of his
appointment on the new commission
upon his arrival here today from Colon.
Speaking Of the difficulties of building
the canal Mr.. Wallace said:
1t is surprising what wrong i'm
pressions prevail in this country about
the canal. The control of the Chagres
river, for instance, has been much mis-
understood. The cost of this work will
be only 5 per cent of the total cost of
building the canal. The difference in
tide between the Pacific and Carib-
bean can be controlled by tide locks
although this is not necessary with a
sea level canal. The tide in the Pa
eific rises ten feet higher and falls ten
feet lower than it does in the Carib-
bean. The canal, however, will be
fortyseve miles long and will take
up this difference. We do not place
locks at Sandy Hook to control tide in
the Hudson, and that river is always
Davigablt.> So will the canal be navi-
gable at all times. 1 go Immediately
to Washington
