unn an article from the Virginia Law
Register Of December, 1905. on Judicial
Salaries In Virginia" The writer points
out that under section 1o2 OF the present
Constitution the salaries OF judges In this
Commonwealth can never be increased
except the increase bc made by tho pres
ent Legislature. That section provides
that "all Judges shall receive such saln-
ries and allowances as may be determined
by law within the limitations fixed by
this Constitution, the amount OF which
shall not be INCREASED or DIMIN-
ISIfED during their terms of Office" 1t
is futher explained that by sections 81
and 90 OF the Constitution the terms of
Judges are made to expire at different
times, and the writer concludes that the
Legislature is not apt to pay different
salaries to two Judges doing the same
character and amount of work. Thus,
says he, "five Judges of the Supreme
Court of Appeals will be elected in jan
uary, 1906, for terms OF four six, eight,
ten and twelve years, respectively. II
their salaries be not increased at this
session, it is not probable that such ac-
tion will be taken by the Legislature of
1910, 1919, and SO on, which will BIO called
upon to elect their SUCCESSORS, because
the result would be that the twelve-year
judge could draw throughout his term
only the salary allowed by law at the
time of his qualification, while the Judges
elected for the shorter terms. doing ex-
actly the same work. would be paid more
This is true also, mutatis mutandis, of
the circuit judges, with the further con-
sideration that. quoad, the three-fourths
of this class who hold over, the salary
could not be increased by the Legislature
of 1906, except to take effect at the ex-
piratlon of their present terms"
The article is respectfully referred to
the members of the General Assembly.

Laborers for Virginia.

Ono Of tho best measures that has
been proposed within long time Is tho
project OF Commissioner Of Agriculture
Koiner to Import labor from England
into Virginia. To this end an appro-
priation OF ten thousand dollars is pro-
posed for the purpose of establishing u
labor bureau. There are thousands Of
good. upright able-bodied Englishmen
IN absolute idleness for lack of work In
the old cold country. while there is q
crying demand for laborers at good
wages in this country, especially in
Virginia and the South. We believe
this appropriation should be made. where
by good labor might be brought here for
the upbuilding OF the agricultural inter-
ests in this State.-Hnmpton Monitor.

Some Of Nirglnin's sapient-sappy you'd

cation. Back comes the ra,e question,

too great expense, etc. The first Is the
DOGGY: the last Is part n truth. and the
plea OF encroachment upon parental au.
thority seems solid on the face of It..
But when parents will not give their
children the advantages OF en- elementary
education, when they are Mt hand and
easily attainable, they should be made
to do so by the State.-Staunton Leader.
It Is Unfortunate that the term COM
pulsory education she.Sd ever have been
employed in this connection. All such reg
ulations are prohibitive rather than
compulsory. The State supplies the
schools and simply says that parents
must not prevent their children from
attending. In adopting such System the
State does not mean to infringe the rights
of the parents: 1t simply means to pro-
tect the rights of the child Now, Mr..
Director, whatsoever you may be. have
you any personal objection to sucn
