Salaries and Fees.

Judge Cox resigned from the
State supreme court for several rea-
sons, ALE good reasons. but one OF
the best OF all Is that a Judge must
devote himself entirely to the busi-
ness and receive an insignificant
salary. He owed more to his fam
lily than to wear his life out at a
mere pittance each year. But. in
this connection. since he has called
attention to the fact that the duties
OF the supreme court are doubling
all the time. getting numerous. the
thought comes to many who never
have occasion to resort to the courts
at all. that those who do ought to be
the ones who should pay. OF course,
that would not work very well in
criminal matters. but what boots It
to the law-abiding cictzen whether
the Judge gets any pay at all in civil
matters? There are many residents
Of Harrison county and thousands OF
West Virginia who never had a law
suit in their lives, they neither sue
nor get sued and they are those who
are inquiring why they should pay
the judges for hearing the suits OF

The News d az Thaw Case.


There has been much said and
printed about the publishing of the
news OF the Thaw murder trial IN
New York City. Many deplore the
broadcast publication Of such wicked
ness as may be brought out in such
cases and think a mercenary press
does IT solely for the idea OF cater
ing to the depraved tastes of the
public.
While some newspapers do in
dulge in TOO much sensationalism
and '.yellowness" over the case now
in progress in New York. it may be
said that the great majority OF them
very carefully suppress all the dis

Ill health.
Some weeks ago Timpson was told by his
physician that he had an affection of ,.ie

When Mrs. Timpson called at her hus-

alarmed and asked Policeman Burns of the
West 152d street station to see what the
trouble was. After falling to arouse the oc-

Capt. Diamond have been constant visitors
at Ellis Island in the last week The former

Yesterday, however, it all came out, and
incidentally there was revealed the fact
that the eX-chief and eX-captain are run
ming a lace-weaving plant at Newburg, n.
Y, and making money at it. They have
been visiting Ellis Island to intercede with
immigration Commissioner Watchorn for
Henry Smedley of Nottingham, England,
superintendent Of the Lackey Manufacture
ing Company. in which Devery and Dia-
mond are the prominent stockholders.
Smedley was taken into custody by the
immigration authorities last week on the
ground that he was contract 1aborer.
The charge, against the man. according to
Assistant Commissioner Joseph Murray,
was made by the Weavers' Union. They
charged that Smediey, an expert weaver.
had come over here because of an adver-
tisement in an English paper promising
employment to experts in his line.
he had been employed as an expert and
superintendent in the Newburg plant to
teach apprentices the art of weaving.
Devery set up the defense that Smedley
was necessary to the business and an art
ist in his line. He declared also that he
had offered good money to experts, but
had been unable to get any in this country.
The board of inquiry listened to the testi-
mony of both sides and decision is ex-
pected within a few days. In the mean
time Smedley has been released under

While Safe Is Rifed.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. August o.
While Postmaster Edwin Smith of Nit
tineague, West Springfield. was alone yes
terday a well-dressed stranger sauntered
in the post office. He introduced himself as
a government inspector. Many complaints,
he said. had been received that the post
office could not readily be found, and that
the Post Office Department had decided to
erect a monument in front, indicating that
Uncle Sam was Going business whereabouts.
The idea impressed Postmaster Smith
favorably and he willingly accompanied
his visitor outside. Mr.. Smith thought
that a site directly in front OF the post
Office would be best. The inspector favored
spot in the street on the further side OF
the building and Postmaster Smith accom-
panied him around the corner while the
inspector pointed out the advantages OF
that position.
The inspector produced blueprint plans
and explained them in detail Postmaster
Smith suggested that the monument be
made of granite. The inspector favored
brownstone. but was open to conviction.
More time consumed when the in
spector inquired relative to Mr.. Smiths
preferences in the matter of plate to be
attached TO the monument. which should
announce that Edwin Smith was postmas-
ter at the time the long-needed monument
was erected. Mr.. Smith modestly suggest
ed bronze tablet. bearing his full name,
age and years of service. The inspector
assured Mr.. Smith that his wishes would
be complied with. aad proceeded to draw
a plan of the suitable bronze tablet.

That's right Never neglect business.
I've understood that you were always on

as he swung himself aboad passing troll

ential adieu and went back to the post Of
