The Republican Central Committee
of Greene county has passed resolu-
tions advocating harmony in the
Sixth Congressional District. About
half the Republicans in that county
voted the Democratic ticket at the
last congressional election and its
politicians are responsible for three
fourths of the discord. 1t Is more
than probable that the only thing
they would call harmony would be for
the other ive counties in the district
to allow Greene county to name the
Congressman, presidential elector and
national delegates. This would give
the others nothing to scrap over.

Legislative Pay.

An election to Congress will be re-
garded henceforward as much more
desirable than ever before, thanks to
the recent increase of the salaries of
Members by fifty per cent. Seven
thousand five hundred dollars year
is an income large enough to furnish
a strong attraction, independently of
the glory to be gained through the
exercise of an opportunity to legislate
for the nation.
AS matter of fact, there was small
justice in the plea that five thousand
dollars was not an adequate salary for
Congressman-af fact which becomes
manifest when II Is considered that
the work required extends over only
six months in the year, the balance
of the twelve-month being 80 much
leisure available for utilization In
other activities. Thus, for example,
the lawyers In the House of Repre-
sentatives devote their time between
sessions, as a rule, to the practice of
their profession.
In urging the passage of the bill to
raise Congressional salaries, one argu-
ment used was that Washington was
an expensive place to live In. The
truth Is, however, that such is very
far from being the case. Apparently,
the capital city has acquired this
reputation through the circumstances
that people are constantly going
thither on holiday.making trips from
all parts of the country. When they
get home, they count the cost, and
say, Goodness me what an expen-
sive place Washington !" But such
trips always do cost great deal of
money. no matter where one goes,
and certainly food costs no more In
Washington than elsewhere, while
rents are extraordinarily low---hand-
come houses in the fashionable section
being easily obtained for nfty dollars

are third less than In Philadelphia

The report made several months ago

money.
