come rushing down the avenue. A train
was about to pass and the safety gates
were down. but whether the men in the
automobile saw them will never be

Judges Salaries.

Il most earnestly urge upon the
congress the dnty Of increasing the
totally inadequate salaries now given
to our judges. On the whole there
is no body Of public servants who do
as valuable work, nor whose moneyed
reward is so inadequate compared 20
their work. Beginning with the ST.
preme court the judges should have
their salaries doubled 1t is not be-
fitting the dignity of the nation that
its most honored public servants
should be paid sums so small com
pared to what they would earn In pri.
vate life that the performance of pub
lie service by them implies an ex-
ceedingly heavy pecuniary sacrifice"
It is to be desired that some meth
cd should be devised FIR doing away
with the long delays which obtain in
the administration Of justice Much Of
the intolerable. delay is due to "im-
proper regard. paid to technicalities
which are a mere hindrance to justice.

Forests

The forests can only be protected by
the state, by the nation; and the lib-

nation determines to be necessary for
the common safety. The lesson of de

mankind should have learned many
times already from what has occurred
