For all the rest,
Increased Cost of Liyinn.

The British government has re- gently increased the salary of it's ann bassador and first secretary at Wash ington, because of the increased cost of living in this country, and espe- cially at the capital and in the larger cities of the land. The cost of liv- ing in cities is constantly rising, and this change is felt in lesser towns, and even in districts strictly rural.
 It is in part due to the higher prices that the necessaries of life command, but only in part. Trusts and Dingleyism have created in this country over five thousand million aires, so runs the latest count, and the five thousand are instituting a de- gree of luxury and extravaganza un- known before in this world, except possibly during the days of decadent and luxurious Rome. Their extrava- gances are almost numberless en- bracing the entire range of living. What one millionaire does another must eclipse, and so the race goes on, resulting in an increased cost of living that bears heavily upon those who are not millionaires.
 It operates, too, to reduce, prac- tically speaking, official salaries-to render salary that once was ade- quate now sadly inadequate. It fills the Senate with milionaires, because poor men in that body cannot go the pace set by m lionairism. The in- crease in the British ambassadors salary typifies all other official sala- ries, especially at Washington, and the subject will be very apt to be brought up during the coming win. ter. The salaries of cabinet officers are not equal to the social demands made upon them, and Congress may conclude that congressional salaries are in like category.
 At any rate it will not do to let things go on until all poor men are shut out of office by the cost of liv ing. That would be most unwise. That would be tantamount to a change in the form of our govern ment.

It is a town well filled with industries, and the workmen in the mills are in touch with German freedom of speech, and German socialists. Five thousand of them met and discussed the political situation as Germans are accustomed tS do, and as all men should be free

From the Huntsville Tribune.
 It has been our fortune or misfortune to live in Alabama nearly half cen tury and we never saw game of craps nor did we ever see a game of cards at which anything was ever staked, nor did we ever see the back door of a saloon open on Sunday Somehow people who see these things, know so much about them, must go around where we never go.

He was indeed one of our most ardent prophets.
 MT. wellman was only SS years of age' but he had won high distinction as a me ehanic engineer and metallurgist. Hc was at the head of one of the greatest en- gineering firms in this country. He de- signed the steel plant at Ensley and looked after it's construction. MT.

 This is Russia. This is the Russia that falls down before an intelligent, alert people that do not number one. third of Russia's population-a mere fringe of islands off the huge empire. An autocratie Russia means a mass of unintelligent Russians. and unin- telligent Russians cannot successfully fight behind the gun either on board ship or on land. A people that can read and write, and that can therefore be readily trained into good soldiers or good sailors will readily whip them in war. General Trepoff, who is Rus sia's real ruler, put the high schools beyond the poor. He caused them to increase their fees. His very pol icy msans in this age of progress and advancement the subjection of Rus sia-its final submersion if autocracy be maintained.
 The great crime of the autocracy is it's deliberate intention from the days of Peter the Great down to the pres ent time to keep the masses in ig- norance. In this age mere numbers are no longer controlling, and Russia must be brought up to the German or Japanese standard of intelligence, or else she will go down.

MAYOR IS SERVED.
Summons and Complaint in Dam.
age Suit Reaches Kenosha
FromRock County
MAYOR WANTS 1T 100000.

Mayor James German has been for
ma1ly notified that Secretary Whit
aker of the State Barber Commission
has named him as defendant in a
suit for $40, 900, for late Monday night
the summons and complaint in the
action were received by Sheriff Vietch
and served on,the mayor. He admit
ted the service of the summons, and
then went on about his business Just
as if he was accustomed to being
served with such suits, every day, in
the week.
There wasn't great deal of news
in the summons and complaint, and it
shows that Mr.. German must appear
In twenty days in the circuit court of
this county, and make answer to, the
demands of the barbers's secretary.
In his complaint Mr.. Whitakep tells
of the assault in the shop of the
mayor in this city and states that at
that time he was acting in the capac-
ity of secretary of the state BARRIERS
commission and that he had gone to
the shop to make an effort to collect a
license fee which was due from the
mayor to the state. Whitaker de-
mands SIS, 900 as actual damages al1eg-
ing that his physical suffering and
loss of dignity would be worth that
much. He also demanded SIS, 900 ex-
amp1ary damages.
Mayor German did not have much
to say in regard to the complaint, but
he accepted the service and re-
marked, ''Might just as well have
made it 500, OOO."
/ 1t is claimed that Whitaker has the
state administration behind him, and
that a bitter fight will be made to col
lect the damages. The case is attract
ing considerable attention throughout
the state, and BARRIERS are eagerly
awaiting the outcome. If the case
ever comes to trial some interesting
evidence will be produced, but the
general impression is that Whitaker
is bluffing, and that the case will never
be brought to trial.

Frank Waldo, Of Bristol, the First
Candidate for the Office Of
Clerk Of Circuit Court.
MALoNEY TO RETIRE AT ONCE
His Successor as Clerk Must Be APP
pointed by Judge of the Circuit
Court e. b. Be1den Before
the March Term.

1t is authoritative1y announced that
Frank Waldo, one of the best known
farmers of the town of Bristol, is a
candidate for appointment to the of
fee of clerk of the circuit court which
will be made vacant by the elevation
of John B. Ma1oney to the Office OF
postmaster of Kenosha. Mr.. Ma1o-
ney stated this morning that he would
resign his position as soon as his
commission as postmaster arrived and
the field will be an open one. Mr..
Waldo is the first candidate to make
an appearance but there are any mum
Der of men lurking in the shadows
ready to swing into the lime light as
soon as the Office is officially vacant.
Mr.. Ma1oney has held the Office for a
good many years and during this
time he has been renominated from
year to year practically without oppo-
sition. However, at the last county
convention of the Republicans Ma1o-
ney came near being turned down.
In fact on the first ballot Mr.. Waldo,
who is said to have been the choice of
the LaFo11ette men who controlled
the convention, received more votes
than did Ma1oney but when the lead
ers of the faction got together it was
decided that Maloney's running
strength was needed to pull the ticket
through and Waldo was Immediately
sacrificed. Mr.. Waldo has been a
resident of the county for many years
and is'we11 and favorab1y known. 1t
is claimed that his candidacy will
have the almost unanimous endorse
ment of the people of the town of
Bristol.
With the resignation of Mr.. Ma1o-
ney the appointment of successor to
the Office of clerk of the circuit court
will be left in the hands of Judge Bel
den. AS there will soon be term of
the circuit court it is thought that
Judge Be1den will lose little time in
making the appointment. OF course
there is no way in which a man may
make fight for the Office as it is en-
tire1y the personal matter of the
judge to name a successor to his for
mer assistant ia this county.
Mr.. Waldo will be the first in the
field but there are undoubtedly many
people both in the towns of the county
and in the city who will seek the Of
fee. The office is said to be worth
about 81, 500 year and it carries with
it the office of Registrar in Probate to
which thereis small salary attached.
Mr.. Maloney is of the opinion that
his commission as postmaster will ar
rive by the first of the month and if
this is fact the office will be vacated
at that time.

DEATH OF ANsoN WALKER
Father Of Mrs. Frederick Perkins Died
Suddenly in Milwaukee Sunday.

Arson E. Walker, father of Mrs.
Frederick Perkins of this city, and
one of the pioneer settlers of southern
Wisconsin, died suddenly at his home
in Milwaukee Sunday morning as a
result of stroke of heart disease.
Mr.. Walker had seemingly been in
good health on Saturday andshis de-
mise came as a great shock to his
many friends.
The deceased was sixty-ene years
of age. He was. Al native of New
York but came west when he was but
nine years of age and settled in the
village of Raymond in Racine county.
Here he resided with his wife and
sons until three years ago when he re-
tired and went to Milwaukee to live.
Mr.. Walker had often visited in
Kenosha and was well known to many,
people in this city. Surviving him
are widow, two sons, Joseph and
Warren Walker, of4Raymond, and one
daughter, Mrs. Perkins, of this city.
