The argument is advanced that
there ought to be criminal judges,
intermediate judges and the like, to
relieve circuit judges. That but
adds to the duties Of circuit judges
instead of relieving them from
burdens. unless the law prefers
what nature Of cases can go before
circuit judges after having been pass
ed on by the under studies. That
is all wrong as the position OF cir
cult judge ought to be one the peo-
pie in general have access to. Such
judges ought to be very close to the
people. They doubtless have far
too much to do under the present ar
rangement. Hence. when one gets

to talking about a change. 1t would
be well to consider the matter of
cutting down the circuit rather than
that of having under judges. For
instance, in this circuit, according to
the idea advanced of having inferior
judges, there would have to be two
additional judges, in other words,
two under the present circuit Judge
one for Harrison county and an
other for Lewis county. making
three all told. On the other hand,
II two circuits were created. there
would be but two judges, ana, then
when a man goes into court, he
knows he would have to have hut cne
appeal instead of two under the sys-
TEN advocated. Indeed, it does
seem it would be better to make the
circuits smaller instead of multiply
ing judges.

The State legislature, while It is
considering bills to regulate food,
drugs and the like, would do well to
remember that the best plan is to
make State laws in this respect that
win conform to the federal law on
the subject. The federal pure food

laws that conflict with it, and thus
bring about confusion. uncertainty
and irregularity.
The National Board OF Trade
ought to be familiar with this subject
and in position to speak forcibIy.
Since this is true the Telegram here
reminds the legislators Of this state
of the action taken by that body at
its meeting IN Washington last
month, by reproducing copy of the
preamble and resolution 1t passed as
follows:
Whereas, The conflicting food and
drug laws of the respective states
have seriously hampered interstate
commerce in food and drug products
and increased the labor and expense

False Economy.

The imposing treasury building at
Washington gives good example OF
false economy.
More than eight-fve years ago
when the building was constructed,
the east front was built of soft
stone, which under the wear and
tear of the weather has deteriorated
to such an extent that It is not only
unsightly but unsafe. 1t is now
proposed to rebuild the front in
granite, the material of which the
other walls of the structure are
composed. Economy was the cause
of using this soft stone in the east
front and time shows that 1t was
the kind that costs the most in the
end. It will require the expenditure
OF ss6O,OO0 to rebuild the soft
stone wall. The additional cost over
the soft stone in the original con-
struction of the building would have
been a good deal less than this
amount; and the beauty as well as
the safety of the structure would not
now be endangered by patching had
that additional money been expend-
ed.
1t pays to do thing well II It is
worth doing at all. as our national
treasury building mutely testifies.

the respective part with credit

pupils not only showed adapt

best of suggestions given them.
The parts had been committed
to perfection and practiced UNI
til they became natural.
Nothing but words of praise
are heard this morning for
those who participated and for
the instructor who trained
them. They worked in per-
feet harmony and worked with
a will, doing much better than
many who are on the road and
make the stage their business.

what the school is doing in
