THE INCREASE OF THE JUDGES
SALARIES.

~ /
, One Of the amendments TO be voted
on in the November election is for
an increase in the salary of our su-
preme judges. This is article No. 20.
The present salaries of our SUI
preme judges were fixed upwards of
twenty years ago, since which time
the prices of all the necessaries OF
life. to say nothing of the luxuries,
have increased over forty per cent.
with a constant upward tendency un-
til il has already reached the point
where a man of family can scarcely
make ends meet living at the capi-
tai, as it is one of the highest priced
of all places in the state. to say moth
ing of educating his children and lay
ing by something for rainy day.
Already within the past eight years
five of our ablest jurist have resign
ed from the bench because they could
not live on the salary they received
and have gone back to the bar where
they are making from two to five
times the amount practicing law.
1t is an indisputable fact, evident
to the most ignorant layman, that
the states highest court of last re-
sort should be composed of her very
ablest and most learned lawyers, but
how can she, with any reason, ex-
pect the requisite ability and talent
to give their services for a fourth or
Eth of their earning capacity at the
bar?
The honor of the position counts for
a great deal and is one that most
lawyers strive for, yet honor will not
buy bacon and potatoes and keep
the pot boiling.
The governor is paid five thousand
dollars year and is furnished man.
sion rent free, while our judges. sup
posed to be our ablest men, are paid
but three thousand without any man
sion.
1t is of course known that we now
have six judges on the bench but
three of t':ese judges are only recent
ly placed there and it is the under
standing that as soon as the work of
the court is caught up with that these
three extra judges shall retire so the
figures cited by Mr.. Light will have
to be cut almost in half.
We believe that our public servants
are worthy of their hire and should
be paid salaries according to their
stations and enough to at least en-
able them to live decently and with
enough besides to educate their child
rem.
Four thousand dollars now is not
as much as three thousand dollars
were twenty years ago.

TIE souTH,s GREAT NEED.

Editor Frank Harris, of the Ocala
Banner, has just returned from a
visit to New York. and. judging from
some Of his recent editorial refec-
uons, he has brought back with him
some ideas that lie is disposed to
Iutillze lor the benefit of the state for
which he has already done so much.
AS sample of these ideas, the
following may be cited:
"If we were impressed with one
fact more than another on our re-
cent visit to New York, it is that
the pressing need of the south is peo-
pie. If one stands on the sidewalk
in that city he witnesses a passing
throng during all hours of the day.
Go where he will he meets people.
The street cars, the subway; the ele-
waited railways are always crowded.
and SO are the hotels and department
stores. 1t is a jam everywhere. The
hotel at which we stopped is not a
very pretentions one and yet it's reg
lister is always fun and so it was
with all the hotels at which we call
ed. When we got to Charleston and
visited the Charleston hotel, the lead
ing hotel of the city, we found that
its register contained less than a
page of arrivals. Yet it is a large
and splendidly equipped establish
ment. -.e belt line street railway,
"a splendid line, instead of being
packed as were the cars in New
York city, were carrying very few
passengers an1 SO the scarcity of
the people was marked on every
hand"
Nothing could be truer-nothing
more to the point than this. New
blood-new people-are what Florida
most needs today.
Men and money are essential to
the push, progress and prosperity of
any community; but of the two, men
must be put first.
For it is a fact that we should
never be lost sight of, that towns are
made, not by their locations-not by
their natural advantages; but by
the people in them.
What made Atlanta? Nothing but
the indomitable spirit of it's people.
What enabled Jacksonville to arise
from the ashes, and, in a few short
years. rehabilitate herself upon scale
and in manner that throws into the
shade her former stability?
If the people Of Jacksonville had
not proven themselves equal to the
occasion, the city would never have
so rapidly and completely recovered
from the staggering blow dealt it
few years ago.
And why is it that the people of
Jacksonville have found it possible to
rise above defeat and Disaster
Largely because of the constant acces-
sions of new blood and new vigor
by WI vitality has been sus-
tanned in the hour of need.
Frank Harris is right-"the press
ing need of the south is people"
And the sooner this state awakens
to that fact the better for all con-
cerned.-Pensacola Journal. 49,

The New York Press, the original
discoverer of Hughes as candidate
for governor of New York, sounds a
wild alarm. It says. through spec

"chill on up the state" that the re-
cent progress of candidate Hughes
through the manufacturing towns
shows that the workingmen are in
clined to vote for Hearst. and that the
fax is on fire generally. The object
of the howl Of alarm is probably to
encourage the loosening of purse
