Winning u Jurymnn.

1t Is related of Lachaud, the most
famous Of French criminal lawyers in
the last century, that in pleading a GER
tain case he perceived that one of the
jurors seemed to be hostile to him and
his argument.
In the faces Of all the other men In
the box he saw with his practiced eyes
that his oratory or his shrewdncss was
having its effect, but this man, in spite
Of all Lachaud could do, remained
frownlng, suspicious, obdurate.
Lachaud continued with his work,
however, and presently saw that his
opportunity had come. 1t was a hot
day, and ray OF sunlight had pene-
trated crevice on the curtain and was
shining on top Of the head OF this jury
man, who was quite bald. The lawyer
paused in his argument and addressed
himself directly to the court
"If your honor would please" he
said, ito order that the curtain in yon-
der window be lowered trihe, I am
sure that the sixth juryman would APP
preciate IT.
This sign OF watchful attention won
the obstinate juryman's heart and

PAY PRESIDENTS MORE
SENATOR BOURNE BELIEVES PRES
ENT SALARY INADEQUATE.
Refers to France, Where Nations Ex-
ecutive Receives $127 900
a Year

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Dec. 10
aries of the President and vice president,
Senator Jonathan Bourne. Jr., of Ore
gon, today said that, aside from all
sentiment in the matter. he is of opin-
ion that the man who is big enough to
be President of the United States, the
biggest corporation in the world, is GER
tainly as big i'll the business of govern
ment as n railroad president or the man
ager of manufacturing combination,
and should be paid, as a business propo-
sltion. what the demands of the position
indicate as fair compensation.
He declared that he also would make
the extra hazardous risk of the position
a basis fox the justice of the bill. He
said that while the salary of todays
business manager is measured by the
magnitude of the enterprise well as
by his fitness, the Presidents salary
has never born any relatively adequate
proportion to the mental and physical
work and worry of the position,
which are annually increasing.
The President is charged" he added,
with graver and greater responsibilities
than any other person in the world.
The cares, effectiveness, alertness and
elimination of personal interest ueces.
sary for good service are a continuous
and terrific strain on the mental and
physical vigor of the chief executive.
The tenure of life Of the Presidents since
and including the elder Harrison has de
creased percepubly.'
Senator Bourne called attention also
to the fact the President of France re-
ceivcS Sl14,On rs a personal salary ana
like amount for executive expenses.
He said the comparison does our couu-
try no credit when it is remembered that
our national wealth is estimated mt
Sl2T, UoO. 600 while that of France is
estimated at only SJioUO, 100000.
Another reason which he gave why
the Presidents salary should be raised
is that ''as Il rule those who have served
our country rs Presidents have generally
devoted their preceding years more or
less to public service, and therefore,
have not entered the office well equipped
with this worlds goods. at is fact"
he added, that almost every man who
enters public life poor dies poor, which
seems to be the penalty of public service
in America, although it is "A hattcring

MORE WATER FOR SALT LAKE.

Great Salt Lake is filling again. The

dropped several feet. In the past wear

distance it fell in seven previous wears.
j. ID. Elwood Of Salt Lake Citv was
telling OF the antics of Salt Lake at
the Coates House recently, saws the
Kansas City Times.
The residents of Salt Lake CITY. and
especially the company owning the Salt
air Pavilion, were worried over the
prospect of the water leaving the beach
around the pavilion dry as the wafer
evaporated," said Mr.. Elwood "In
fact, In 1901 and 1902, bathers wore
compelled TO walk on sand for dis
lance or several rods from the pavilion
before they reached the water. The
piers OF the building were built in near
ly three feet of water with the oar

government action had anything to do
with the situation or not, | do not

year or two. The rise Is slow but the
effect Is gratifying to the residents Of

tze the vast forward strides that are

fer great commercial possibilities the
better it will be for us. Brazil, with
Its vast territory and bountiful nat
ural resources, is beginning to come
rapidly to the front as a nation OF
much more than minor Importance In
the world. One Of the principal States
In the Brazilian Federation Of twenty
Is that Of Sac Paulo, the capital and
chief city Of which Is also called Sac
Paulo. The picture shown above gives
a good idea OF conditions there The
streets are mostly narrow, yet electric
street cars and lights, coupled with 9th
er modern conveniences, give to the
city quite twentieth century look.
The history Of Sac Paulo goes back

from the fact that the first mass was

the rank of a kingdom and united to
that Of Portugal, the city Of Sac Pauo
was elected as capital Of the province
bearing that name. 1t kept this title
after the proclamation Of independence
in 1922, and from the foundation Of
the republic of Brazil the city has been
the capital of the State Of Sac Paulo.
Following the trend Of modern de
velopment, the State Of Sac Paulo, orig
inally merely agricultural, has been
transformed into an important indus
trial country, becoming more active
and prosperous every day. During the
last thirty-five years, as consequence
OF the immigration Of European work
men, numbers of Industries have been
founded and developed. Conspicuous
among these are the weaving of fab
RIGS, the making of hats, shoes, beer,
and alimentary pastes. There are also
numerous iron foundries.
The cotton plantations have been
largely extended during the last few
years. In the old colonial times the
cotton fiber was woven in small es-
Establishments, but the first large spin
ming mill was not founded before 1869,
in the city Of Itu. There are now thir-
ty-one cotton mills in various parts of
the State.
The most important branch of textile
industry after the spinning of cotton
is the spinning Of jute. This vegetable
is used for the manufacture of sacks

which explains the development Of this
industry. All jute fibers are imported
from abroad. With regard to com
merce and industry 1t Is easy to get
an idea of their Importance from the
fact that In the city of Sac Paulo there
are 1904 commercial firms and SO IN
dustrial establishments. The population
Of the State had increased from 10O,-
537 In 1772 to S37,35l in 1872. The
census of 1900 shows 2,2T9,G0 and 1t
Is safe to say that the total to-day
would be very nearly three mlloDs-a
very striking gain.
The climate of the city of Sac paulo
is extremely pleasant, especially dur
ing the summer December, January
and February, in spite Of sudden
changes Of temperature. Mild temper
allure, a very pure water supply, sewers
well distributed, health office cStab-
lished along modern lines and the 9th
er physical conditions Of the country
all tend to make the capital of the
State and its surroundings a most
healthy spot. Besides its salubrity. sac
Paulo can boast Of a handsome appear
ance, growing commerce, and all the
convenlences Of a modern city. 1t is
every day extending its borders, and
may. after Rio de Janeiro, the Brazil
ian capital, and Buenos Ayrcs, in the
Argentine Republic, be considered the
most important town in South America.

KAISER OPERA BILL 5000, 900.
When He Commands Performance
He Buys Out the House.

When He Commands IA Performance
He Buys Out the House.
Some interesting statistics are pub
lished regarding the extent to which
the German Emperor personally subsi-
dies the Royal Opera House and the
Royal Theater in Berlin. says the New
York Times. OF total Of $62o,VO
expended on them by the Prussian
budget, $112,5OO Is contributed from
the Kalser's private exchequer. In ad-
dition he bears the annual deficit, some
thing like $4,000, sometimes as much
as 100000.
Thus the imperial patronage OF dra-
matte and operate arts represents a
tidv sum of over 100000 per annum.
Even this, however, does not exhaust
the list Of the Kaiser's theatrical ex-
oenses, for every time he commands
performance, the seats for which are
distributed to his personal guests and
friends, he must buy out the entire seat
ing capacity Of the theater averaging
a total Of 81 $50 for each such affair.
The salaries of the Kaiser's operate
and dramatic stars are, OF course, small
compared with those paid In New York.
Not one gets more than $4,000 year.
The general manager of the whole royal
theatrical department receives only ST.
500 q year In addition to the free use
Of the official residence. Nevertheless
the bill the Kaiser will have to foot at
the end Of this year will be the heavi
est he has ever paid, for 1t includes
the cost Of producing his cherished his
torical pageant, the Assyrian panto-
mime, "Sardanapalus," which alone
cost over $4,000 before the curtain
rose on the first performance.
