Why Distrust

The Punta Gorda Herald is willing
for our judges to be better paid for
their work and also thinks that ad-
ditional judicial circuits aheuld be
created but hasn't confidence enough
In the legislature to favor giving ii

Why this want of confidence in
men selected directly by the people
to make their laws? Is the brand OF
distrust to be placed upon a reputable
man by his constituents without spe-
citic cause after they have given him
q vote of confidence by electing him
20 the legislature? IF our lawmakers
are competent to enact and repeal
statutes affecting every interest in

the door of the people themselves
who deliberately selected unfit men
to send to Tallahassee.
If their freely and fairly chosen
representatives are either morally or
mentally unit to transact SO simple a
piece OF business as fixing the annual
salary of a judge, then it would seem
to follow as a necessary deduction
that the people themselves would be
unfit for the task, which is of course,
a proposition not to be entertained for
moment and only to be reached
through the false premise that the
legislature is not to be trusted with
the work
Our constitution is burdened with
too much legislation, some of which
doubtless hampers the progress of the
state without protecting any right or
liberty of the people that would be
otherwise imperiled. and regarded as
8 plain, practical business proposition
it seems entirely reasonable that so
comparatively small a matter as fix
ing the pay of our judges might be
safely left to the men we select to
make and unmake our laws and dis
pose OF GU. taxes.

No matter what a tickle constituency in

he left. Certainly there hasn't been a
speech made anything like the one he
made just after he took the oath pre-

that there ever viii be such another: un-

us with its logical successor.

registered a mighty and a most sonorous

Senator's absence was unavoidable. since

Arkansas from the hands of the anti

The street.llghtIne Contrast

During the discussion Of the Wilson 75-
cent gas amendment last week Represent
ative Madden. of Illinois, offered some
criticism of the present street-lighting
contract, which he represented as an
evasion OF the intent OF Congress to re-
duce the price to be paid by the District
for gas used in street lighting. When
Congress fixed the price to be paid for
gas lamps of the old flat-burner type. the
rate was made on the basis of s0-cent
gas These lamps. however. have been
practically all superseded by the in
candescent type of lamp. which is main
tanned under a contract with the American
Lighting Company. The contracting com
pany buys its llluminant from the local
gas companies. paying therefor 81 a
thousand Mr.. Madden maintains that
under the street-hghting contract the
local gas companies get 10 cents more a
thousand than Congress contemplated,
and that, therefore. the contract is an
evasion of the instruction given by Con-
grcss. 60 use his own languages
Where the advantage lies in this con-
tract we are unable to sas-, but It is only
fair to the Commissioners TO state that
every act of theirs in connection with it

sports Without Gambling.

From the New York Evening Post.
The sports of which Mr.. Keene speaks
so disparagingly in comparison with rae
ing. namely. tennis. baseball. yachting.
and the like, all flourish without the aid
of public gambling rings sanctioned By
law. No one in his senses supposes there
is no betting on these sports. Every day
during the baseball season neighbors in
the grand stands bet with one another on
the outcome Of games or on particular
plays; toward the close Of the season.
the sporting columns record wagers on
the championships which, in amount. are
often up to the standards Of the race
track 'plunger" But in these cases the
bettor has to make his own opportuni-
ties There is no direct invitation to the
patron, no open conduct Of a traffic which
anywhere else would be subject to raid
by the police If racing cannot main
tain itself under like conditions, its claim
of superiority over other sports is hard
to sustain.

quite other considerations than an al
