INCREASE JUDGES
SALARIES"

The State Bar Association should
put Itself vigorously behind the
movement to increase the salaries
OF the judges. There is no argument
pertinent to the question, except on
the one point-Are they now paid
enough? Policy and expediency are
not TO be considered, and having
established the ability of the State 10
pay, the only open question is the
adequacy OF the present salaries.
This is matter peculiar ad-
dressed to the members OF the bar.
They know the sacrifice which law
yer makes I'm going upon the bench:
what good lawyer ought to earn.
and what the judges have to do. The
question OF a decent, fair, living com
pensation to judges is now before the
people, and an expression from the
members OF the bar OF the state
through their State organization is
most pertinent. The situation I'm fact
demands it.-Charleston Gazette.

COLLEGE PRESIDENTS
AS SENATORS.

What is believed by many students
OF political economy TO be an indica-
ton that the voters Of the United
States want to see a radical change
in the character OF the men who SIT
In the national Senate Is the fact
that at the present time three col
lege presidents are being talked of az
candidates for this important politI-
cal Office In their respective States.
In the past many OF the United
States Senators have been either poll
ticians who won their way to power
through their work for the machine"
or multimillionaires who were chosen
through the efficiency OF a well-flled
"barI." Many OF these have repre-
sented their States satisfactorily. but
others have come in for consldera-
bic share Of criticism because OF their
alleged misrepresentation" and the
mention OF the heads OF big colleges
is believed TO be "A step I'm the diroc-
tion Of getting brains into the Senate
rather than mOneybags or political
ability Martinsburg Herald.

CARDINAL GIBBONS
VICTORY.

10 is doubtless a matter of far
more satisfaction to Cardinal Glib
bons that his views on the religious
situation i'm France mot with the APP
proval Of the Vatican rather than
with the New York Herald's appro-
val. Perhaps the Herald is afflicted
with the prevailing popular delusion
that newspapers know It all-itself
in particular, or IL would not have
presumed to characterize Cardinal
Gibbons opinion as nllberal and
somewhat ill-informed The pre-
sumption is fair that the Vatican, at
least, knows as much about the con-
dition or religious affairs I'm France
as the Herald knows. and the Cardi-
naPs views have not only the full
approval but the thanks also OF the
Vatican. Cardinal Gibbons Is not I'm
the habit Of forming hasty views on
weak and insufficient grounds, and
there is no reason to think that he
is ill-informed on the present relig-
ious crisis I'm France. Petersburg

Professed politicians who have re-

amusingly disclosed by a story found

educator and clergyman.
